The Advent Giving Tree will be up on November 24, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe!  Advent starts on December 1. The tree will be decorated with paper ornaments with gifts which charitable groups have requested, as well as families which have applied to us for gift cards.  For the organizations, take one or more ornaments and bring back the gifts in gift bags, along with the ornaments, BEFORE THE second Sunday of Advent (December 8) when you come for Sunday Mass and give them to the sacristans/servers or priests after Mass.

For the families, take one or more ornaments and bring them and the gift cards to Mass as well, or you may use our online giving platform (via the DONATE button on our website).  Because of the high cost of everything, we recommend allowing at least $50 per child if you can do that.  We will use the funds to purchase Target, Walmart, or Visa gift cards.

PLEASE SEND YOUR DONATIONS OR BRING THE GIFTS BEFORE THE SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT,
DECEMBER 8!
If you have questions, please email Sr. Mary Raphael, Outreach Coordinator at the Rectory (sr.mraphael@archphila.org) 

Thank you so much – GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
