During Advent season, as we prepare to receive the coming of our Lord at Christmas ,we have the opportunity to show God’s love in giving to others who are in need. A Christmas tree is placed in the church’s narthex (on which tags are hung with specific gift suggestions for children and adults. Tags are removed from the tree, gifts purchased by parishioners and returned to the church (in gift bags) where they are sorted and distributed to local families and charities. (Diapers do not need to be wrapped.)
