CHRISTMAS GIVING TREE

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is once again collecting gift cards to help needy children receive a present on Christmas day. Please stop by our table after Mass to pick up an angel.  Return the angel to the parish office either with a $35 Target gift card for a child's gift or a $45 Safeway gift card for the family's Christmas dinner.  All angels and gift cards must be returned before December 7.  We will make sure the gift card is delivered to a needy family in time for them to give their children a present. 

EL ARBOLITO DE LOS REGALOS DE NAVIDAD

Una vez más la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul está recolectando tarjetas de regalo para ayudar a que los niños necesitados reciban un regalo el día de Navidad. Por favor visítanos en nuestra mesa después de la misa para recoger un ángel y devuélvelo en la oficina parroquial junto con una tarjeta de regalo de $35 de Target para el regalo de un niño, o una tarjeta de regalo de $45 de Safeway para la cena de Navidad de la familia.  Necesitamos tener de regreso todas las tarjetas y ángeles antes del 7 de diciembre, para que podamos entregarlas a tiempo a familias necesitadas para que puedan darles un regalo a sus hijos.
