The Angel Tree is a wonderful way for us as a parish to put feet on the gospel. Through the Angel Tree Project we can reach out to the least among us and give them a helping hand. Jesus tells us,” Whenever you did for the least of my brothers, you did for me.” (Mt 25:40) How can we challenge ourselves to see Christ in the poor and vulnerable this Christmas? 

Shopping can be stressful, so we are happy to shop for you. You can make a donation for any agency, and we will be happy to purchase items from their list. Gifts may be dropped in the back of the church or at the Parish Office during the week. Gift cards (Target, Walmart, Amazon, Fast Food, etc.) and monetary donations for all agencies can be dropped in the Parish mailbox anytime or at the office during the week.
