Our giving Tree Program begins this weekend. Please take a tag from the trees and adopt a child whose request is on the tag and make that child’s Christmas wish come true. Only gifts for the blue bells should be wrapped. All gifts should be returned to the church no later than the weekend of December 8 & 9; all gifts will be sorted immediately following the 10 AM Mass on December 9 and picked up that day and Monday. Please be sure to attach the tag to your gift, and if there is more than one item for your tag, please tie them together securely. Also on the Giving Trees there will be green tags for the seminarians in our diocese. If you take one of these tags, please purchase a gift card in any amount for one of the stores listed: CVS, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples. Then please mail the gift card in the attached envelope directly to The Office for Vocation. The gift cards will be presented to these men on Christmas Eve.
