Presence Under the Christmas Tree

The St. Vincent de Paul Committee will partner with Altoona Elementary to help families in need at Christmas.

Slips with a child's gift ideas will be given out the weekends of November 23-24 and November 30-December 1 before and after masses. Take a name or two and brighten Christmas for those who need some assistance. Please follow the directions on the sheet to make it easier for those sorting the gifts.

The gifts are due back the weekend of December 14-15 and can be dropped off in the sacristy. If possible,do not bring the gifts back early, as we are desperately short of storage space! Be sure to attach your slip to your gift(s)! The St. Vincent de Paul Committee will sort gifts on Sunday afternoon for distribution on Monday.

Thank you for your generosity!
