The traditional Christmas Giving Tree begins on Friday, November 24th and ends on Monday, December 18th. The Christmas Giving Tree is a great opportunity for children to shop with their parents or godparents and buy suggested gifts for less fortunate families. All parishioners are invited to participate. Participation is easy. Simply remove an ornament (s) from the Tree and shop for the suggested gifts. Items are by age groups and gender. New items are requested. The gifts should not be wrapped and should be dropped into the Christmas Giving Tree drop box at the church's vestibule. This year's beneficiary is Nueva Vida, a community that serves people who work in the fields and their families.
