"It is more blessed to give than to receive."
-- Acts 20:35
This special holiday project provides opportunities to get involved as an individual or family to serve others in need.
Here’s how you can help:

-
Select an ornament from the tree for requested gifts and return the gift unwrapped during the collection weekends in early December. The dates are specified in the bulletin.
-
Volunteer, individually or as a family, to carry donated items to Gabriel House after Mass during the collection weekends.
-
Volunteer, individually or as a family, to assist with the sorting of donated items after each Mass during the collection weekends.
