Christmas Giving Trees- Until Dec. 21
Today, the need is quite real. More and more families and seniors are struggling to put food on the table and a roof over their head let alone have a Christmas for their children. The Holiday season is almost upon us with Thanksgiving in two weeks and Christmas around the corner. Once again, we will be supporting the St. Vincent de Paul society with gift cards for those in need. Starting the weekend of November 22 and 23 and running un til December 21 you can collect a tag from the giving tree. Purchase the gift card and return the gift card with the activation slip in the weekly collection or drop it off at the Collaborative Center. St. Vincent de Paul members will then be distributing the cards to those in need. You can also write a check payable to St. Vincent de Paul and they will purchase the gift cards. Parishion ers have been so very generous over the years, and we pray you are able to continue that generosity. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." - Acts 20:35
