All proceeds benefit the St. Vincent DePaul Society
ALTON, Ill. – It’s that time of year…time to start thinking of holiday gift giving, and there’s no better place to start than the Old Cathedral Christmas Bazaar. Scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 20, the annual bazaar is full of great gift items, baked goods, jewelry, paintings, handmade items, basket raffles and much more. The best part is that 100% of proceeds from the bazaar are donated to the St. Vincent de Paul Society which collects money that is used to help those less fortunate in our community. Last year’s bazaar raised over $9,000 for the needy in our community and our goal is to top that amount this year.
