THE GIVING TREE
Each year during the Advent Season a tree is decorated in the Narthex with tags bearing the Christmas wishes of a child in need for special clothing items or toys. Parishoners are welcome to take a tag and purchase the items. The gifts are then wrapped in beautiful Christmas paper and brought into the Church to be given to the children who need them.
