Where & when we gather
St. Patrick Parish
6N487 Crane Road
St. Charles, IL 60175
Overview

At Christmas time, Christmas trees are placed at both St. Pat's Downtown and St. Pat's Crane Road as a way of sharing with those who are struggling because of poverty or difficult times. Ornaments describing gift items are placed on the trees. Parishioners are invited to buy the gift and return it to the church from which the ornament was taken. The ornaments are attached and the gifts are left in bags or wrapped. Gift cards can be placed in the collection or dropped off at the Parish office on Crane Road. Parish volunteers sort and deliver the gifts with the love of Christ.

Visit this year's Giving Tree beginning Friday, November 21 and return your gift  no later than Sunday, December 14

Reach out to Diane Ball (dball6249@gmail.com) or Jamie Hoscheit (jamiehoscheit@gmail.com) if you would like to volunteer or if you have further questions.


Giving Tree at Your Organization

Host a Giving Tree at your Organization


Would you like to partner with St. Pat’s to host a Giving Tree at your organization this Christmas season? You will receive printed gift tag ornaments to display on a Christmas tree at your business or distribute to employees.  Each tag fulfills a wish for $20-$25. All gifts will need to be dropped off at either church no later than December 17.

Gift tag ornaments are from the following organizations: AID (Association for Individual Development), Corbella Clinic, Catholic Charities, Fox Valley Food for Health, Fox Valley Hands of Hope, Marklund, and St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Your organization or small business can also make a one-time monetary contribution to the Giving Tree Ministry, and we will purchase gifts and gift cards on your behalf.
