Advent Giving Tree       

“Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most."

This weekend 389 gift tags have been placed on the tree in the gathering space.

We have 7 agencies which we will be providing gifts for.  This includes children and adults.

The agencies are:

Big Sky Care Center

Catholic Social Services & Wendy’s Kids

Cooney Convalescent Home

DPHHS Foster Families

Eagles Manor

Florence Crittenton Home

God’s Love

The tags have suggested ideas on them.  Please take a tag, buy the gift, wrap it, and (do not wrap Florence Crittenton), securely attach the tag and return it to Saint Mary by DECEMBER 11, 2011. 

If you would prefer our elves to do the shopping, a monetary donation will be accepted in the office.

Thank you for your generosity to this wonderful ministry.  Because of you, you are putting smile on a child’s face or letting those adults know that someone cares.

If you have questions, please contact Deb at the Pastoral Office, 442-5268 or dkralicek@stmaryhelena.org.
