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.
