Christmas Angel Tree

This annual program provides Christmas gifts to needy children. This year the program will be directly focused on providing gifts not only to the children of St. John’s parish families but we are happy to announce that we are adding several families from Holy Angels parish to the Angel Tree program. We are happy to be able to return in a small way the kindness of Holy Angels parishioners who were so generous to us in providing their school for our use until our new school was completed. The Angel Tree will be in the lobby of the Monsignor Harris Center on November 19th. Tags with numbers representing each child and the gift requested will be placed on the Tree. Names will be kept confidential and will not appear on the Angel Tree. Those wanting to provide gifts can take a tag from the tree and bring the gift to the lobby of the Monsignor Harris Center before or after Masses. We are also seeking donations of Christmas wrapping paper and bows which can be placed in the basket near the tree. We are blessed to have so many parishioners who have always been extremely generous in providing Christmas gifts to the children of our community through the Angel Tree program. Without your charitable giving the program could not be the success it has been over the past years. May God bless you all for your continuing acts of charity.
