Our St. Vincent de Paul, Christmas Angel Tree is located in the back of the church decorated with angel tags. Every year when we deliver Christmas hampers to the poor we try to include a small gift for each member of the family, we ask that the gift be around $25.00. Our hampers this year will be delivered on December 21. Please consider taking an angel tag off the tree and return the wrapped gift with the angel tag attached to the Christmas Angel Tree by December 14. Thank you for helping make Christmas a little brighter for those less fortunate.
