Giving Tree Gift Collection Dec. 13th

It’s that time of year again! The Giving Trees organized by the SFB Christmas Outreach Ministry will be ready this weekend for parishioners who would like to give a helping hand to families struggling during this time of year. This year we will be assisting the Pregnancy Assistance Center, Loving Hearts, SFB Food Pantry and individual parish families.
 
The trees in the Jesuit Hall Gathering Area and in Church will be decorated with the Giving Ornaments on Saturday, November 21st.  Ornaments can be chosen from the Christmas trees in Jesuit Hall Gatherine Area and in church during regular weekday business hours, on Saturday during the day and on Sunday prior to Mass. 

For parishioners who would like to respond to this request but are not currently able to attend Mass in person, we will happily send you the ornaments!  Please call or email your request to Kathy Meyer or to the parish office. 

We ask that you return your gifts unwrapped with the ornament attached to each gift. This will ensure that each item goes to the correct child or adult. Please place gifts in the bins located near the Giving Tree in Jesuit Hall Gathering Area. Gifts will need to be dropped off by 11:00 am on Sunday, December 13th, as this is the day we will be delivering to the organizations and families.

For those wishing to give a monetary donation, you may turn your gift in at the parish office or collection basket (please put “Giving Tree” on the envelope). We will then use this money for ornaments not taken from the trees or any larger items needed.

May God bless all of you as you make a difference in the lives of so many. If you have any questions you can call Kathy or Walt Meyer. We are very, very thankful for the generosity of our parishioners in making Christmas special for so many!
