Giving Tree

The Giving Tree is the parish’s way of sharing with those less fortunate at Christmas time. After Thanksgiving, gift tags are put on a tree in Church indicating individual family needs, for example “Boy, 12, size 14 jeans.” Parishioners select a tag and purchase and wrap the item(s) requested.

Christmas in July

Tags are prepared and hung on the tree in July. During July, parishioners are asked to purchase a new toy and wrap and tag the toy. The toys are received and taken to storage until December. In December, the new toys are matched up with children whose names are on the Giving Tree. More...

Pro-Life

The Pro-Life Committee’s general purpose is to make parishioners more aware of pro-life issues and needs, including euthanasia, abortion, AIDS, cloning, the elderly and handicapped, etc. Our goal is to educate the parish about these issues and to emphasize our Christian responsibility to protect God’s gift of life.
