St. Vicent de Paul Giving Tree 2025
Dear friends,
You may not recognize a lot of the gifts on the wish lists. They are based on You Tube characters or Video game characters. There are related toys and other accessories which are age appropriate. Somethings like Roblox have gift cards available, others have related toys at most stores. Remember the parents filled out the wish list. Although we hope you can find at least one item on the wish list, other age-appropriate gifts are acceptable. Please bring the wrapped and labeled gifts to the church by December 9, 2025 If you have questions, feel free to call me at 860-374-3537 or email me at deaconellen98@yahoo.com.

St. Vincent de Paul Giving Tree
St. Vincent de Paul Giving Tree
We are adopting 20 children from St. Vincent de Paul this year. A lot more asked for bikes but they asked for other things too so you decide whether one big gift is better than more gifts. Parents make the list, the children don’t. If you can’t shop yourself, pair up with a friend. Presents must be brought to church by December 10 so we can get them to St. Vincent de Paul’s by the 12th. Remember to wrap and clearly mark the bag with the number and letter you chose. Thank you for making 20 children have a wonderful Christmas.
