It’s time to start thinking about the Advent Giving Tree!

We will be putting up TWO Trees in the sanctuary in time for the Masses on the weekend of November 15-16. One Tree is for our charities, the other for families. One way to give is to donate online on the Cathedral webpage – you will see the Giving Tree fund after you press the DONATE button. Then you can donate toward the gift or gift card on an ornament! This is a very easy option!

To participate in person, just take one or more ornaments from one or both trees when you come to Mass and bring them home with you. Each star ornament will have a child or a charity on it and will request a specific gift or gift card. BRING BACK YOUR GIFT CARDS (in an envelope) AND/OR WRAPPED GIFTS, ALONG WITH THE ORNAMENTS (the gift tags, so we can identify the gift and who it’s for) by or before the Second Sunday of Advent, December 7. Give all cards and gifts to a Sacristan or any Cathedral staff member. Gifts and gift cards may also be dropped off in person at the Rectory office at 1723 Race St. This early return date will allow for the distribution of these gifts for organizations and for parents to receive gift cards to purchase and wrap gifts for their children!

Thank you in advance for your generosity to the many men, women and children who will benefit from your kindness this Christmas!

Please don’t leave presents under the tree!
