Advent invites us to prepare our hearts for Jesus, and one of the most beautiful ways we can do that is by making room for others. Through our annual Christmas Giving Tree, we have the opportunity to share Christ’s love with individuals and families in our community by helping provide gifts and necessities this Christmas.
For more than 20 years, this cherished St. Pat’s tradition has brought our parish together in generosity. Every ornament represents a person, a family, or a need we can help meet. Whether you choose one gift or several, your generosity reminds someone that they are seen, valued, and loved.
Here’s how to participate:
Choose an ornament. Visit the Christmas Giving Tree at St. Pat’s and select an ornament from the tree.
Purchase the requested gift. Follow the instructions on your ornament to purchase the item or gift card requested.
Gift card return. Place gift cards inside a Christmas card and deposit them in the labeled containers in the narthex. Please do not wrap gift cards or place them in gift bags.
Wrap your physical gift. Securely attach the original ornament to the wrapped gift so it can be identified and sorted correctly.
Return your physical gift. Place it beneath the sign for the designated partner agency along the Narthex wall at the church. Please take a moment to ensure your gift is placed in the correct location.
Please return all gifts by Sunday, Dec 13.
Every gift is an opportunity to bring hope, share joy, and remind someone of the love of Christ this Christmas. Thank you for helping make room for others this Advent and for continuing a tradition that makes such a difference in our community.
May our generosity prepare our hearts to welcome Christ and help others experience His love.
