A group of volunteers gathered on Oct. 30 to help with a Catholic Financial Life project to make about 140 paracord bracelets for Operation Gratitude, an organization that includes the bracelets in care packages for deployed soldiers. Paracord gets its name from parachute cord and can hold up to 550 pounds of weight. The bracelet provides 7.5 feet of cord that can be used in an emergency. Local veteran Kayla Nason spoke to the group spoke about her time in the service. Pictured, front from left: William Braulick and Gus Hoffmann. Middle: Grace Hoffmann, Josie Helget, and Nell Weiss.
