CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT TREE: You

will find the St Vincent de Paul Society annual Christmas Ornament Tree in the vestibule. Simply select an ornament, find the sign-up sheet for that family and write your name and phone number next to the gift you have selected. (Please be sure to sign your name and phone number on the sign-up sheet!) We ask that the gifts be wrapped, gift cards be placed in gift bags and returned to the vestibule by Sunday December 11 and placed in the boxes in the vestibule. The ornament needs to be securely attached to the gift, so the gifts will be distributed to the right family. (You may want to enclose a gift receipt in case an exchange might need to be made). Our parish has always been so generous with giving and we want you to know how grateful these families are for your kindness. The gifts will help parishioners and other needy families in our community. Questions, please contact Pat Feamster @ 459-3683 or 657-2375.
