Magi Tree at Holy Family Parish
November 27 - December 18 Our Peace and Justice Commission will once again sponsor a Magi Tree to help the poor in our community. The trees in all three churches have tags listing items for the families. Take a tag, buy the gift, wrap it, and place (tape) the tag on the wrapped gift. All gifts should be placed under any of the trees no later than Sunday, December 18th. As always, thank you for your generosity! |
