Handicrafts
Support missionary work by picking up a hobby among the arts and crafts. The handicrafts are sent straight to people in need or sold in the Seinäjoki parish shops, where the proceeds are directed to good causes. You can also gift your crafts to the Seinäjoki parish. The craft groups are activities organized by volunteers inside the Seinäjoki parish.
