St. Gregory the Great – Advent Program

Our annual giving tree will take place the entire month of November.

The St. Gregory Giving Tree Committee will coordinate this effort. The tree will be in the vestibule this year and again hold tags asking for gift cards for local charities. Please take a tag, purchase the gift card requested and place the gift card and the store receipt in an envelope clearly marked GIVING TREE. Please write the amount of the card on the envelope or card holder.

All envelopes should be returned no later than November 30th so that we can distribute them to the charities before Christmas.

There are 2 ways to return the gift card envelopes:

·Drop the marked envelopes in the collection bin at the weekend masses.

·Deposit the envelopes in the secure drop box to the right of the front door of the rectory.

The organizations we will be donating to are:

The Agape House, Mother Theresa Food Pantry (at St. Ann’s), Salvation Army, St Vincent DePaul Mission, and Meals for Neighbors.

If you would prefer, you may give a cash/check donation, and we will pick up a needed gift card for you.

Thank you in advance for your continued kindness and generosity. Your response last year was a blessing to many.
