This ministry gives parish members the opportunity to share with those in need during the season of giving. Parishioners are asked to select an angel indicating a suggested gift from the "giving tree", purchase the item and return it unwrapped back to the tree. Extra gift wrap is always accepted and sent with the gifts to the various organizations.
The ministry supports residents of St. Augustine's, St. Phillip Neri, St. Patrick's in Fountain Square, St. Elizabeth Coleman Center, The Ronald McDonald House, and Wheeler Mission.
Volunteers are needed to help sort the gifts on one evening. On that evening, additional volunteers are needed to wrap the sweaters for the residents of St. Augustine's. The following day, drivers are needed to get the gifts ot the various organizations. Signup sheets to help deliver are located at the entrance tables in the church.
