“CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR”
RECONCILIATION LITURGIES MAKE THIS A GIVING CHRISTMAS
We are once again rapidly approaching the glori-
Individual Confessions ous celebration of Christmas.
Saturday, December 18th We are happy to announce our
3:00 – 5:00 PM seventeenth annual Giving Tree
Wednesday, December 22
which will be in the Church, be-
9:00 - 10:00 AM
Wednesday, December 22 ginning with the 5:30 PM Mass
7:00- 8:30 PM on December 4. In place of the
usual Christmas decorations, the
Tree will be decorated with en-
velopes containing the names of
needy families in our community.
If helping a family this year will
enrich your Christmas, this is
the perfect opportunity.
Inside each envelope are the names of family
members and ages of the children. You may
choose any envelope. Usually food is provided so
the family can prepare their Holiday meal, plus
gifts for the family, especially the children. Do
what feels right for your family and experience
the joy of a truly Giving Christmas.
Please contact the family in advance to get an
idea of their needs and verify ALL information
listed in the envelope. There are names and
phone numbers of Spanish interpreters with the
family information that can assist you as needed.
It is also VERY important that you enter all infor-
mation into the Christmas Giving Tree Book on
the table by the tree.
Another option is to choose an envelope from
our other Tree. You may donate scrip, cash or
checks which will be used to provide food and
necessities to needy families. There will be a box
in the Church office for these donations. We
