The spirit of giving and helping those in need are intricate parts of our St. Mary's Church community. This is our 26th year of offering the Giving Tree for the many men, women and children in our area that desperately need our prayers and thoughtful assistance.
Ornaments will be available both online at St. Mary's website through Sign-up Genius and on the Giving Trees in the foyer of the Church (Sat. Nov. 18th).
NOTE: This is one week earlier than our traditional schedule! Please follow the instructions on the front and back of the ornament and return your unwrapped gift in a holiday bag (under the Giving Tree) NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 3rd.
We have committed to delivering a gift to every one of the individuals on the giving tree. Please make sure to return a gift if you take an ornament.
