In Preparation for the Holiday Season

GIVING TREE
The Giving Tree has become an important tradition at St. Thomas. We have special concerns these days for those in need. Your generosity in providing gifts under the Giving Tree—placed in the Gathering Space near the sacristy—has been incredibly helpful in the past. We will collect gifts for Catholic Charities and other needy in the parish and area. Take a tag from a basket as you come out of church. Purchase the suggestion on the slip of paper, wrap it, and put the tag on the gift so that we will know what is inside. We will need the gifts by December 16.
