Montgomery Catholic Basketball Works With Inner City Evangelism

The Montgomery Catholic Varsity boys basketball team volunteered with the Inner City Evangelism (ICE) during their Christmas celebration at the Gibbs Village Community Center.  Inner City Evangelism is a community outreach program which seeks to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to others through hope, joy, peace, food, shelter, love and so much more to communities in the Montgomery area.  Catholic's varsity boys basketball team assisted with arts and craft projects, led games of kickball, enjoyed pizza from Cheezie's Pizza, and played several rounds of basketball with the adults and children at Gibbs Village before traveling to Verbena to participate in the Verbena Christmas Tournament.
