Advent Giving Tree
-
November 19, 2022 - December 4, 2022
A long standing Christmas tradition in our parish is the Advent Tree, symbolizing God’s gift of love for all people. This year the Advent Tree will be similar to last year. There will be a display of flat trees and hanging ribbons with tags on the weekends of November 19th & 20th thru December 3rd & 4th. The display will have a sign with the organization’s name and the items they have requested, which are mostly generic items. You can take a picture of the display to help you with your shopping. The organizations’ greatest needs are gifts cards for Meijer, Walmart, Target, Amazon or Kohl’s with suggested dominations of $25. This year there will be some tags with items for toys and clothing for children for our neighbors in need. If you select a tag for a toy, no wrapping is necessary and please attach the tag to the toy or clothing. We hope this aids in your black Friday shopping experience.
We as a parish will be helping 16 organizations and their clients to make their Christmas wonderful. The organizations are AAA Pregnancy Center, St. Vincent de Paul, Nativity of Our Lord Parish, PB&J Outreach, Pope Francis Center, Samaritas Family Center, Sheffield Nursing Home, St. Anne Parish Detroit, St. Christine Christian Services, St. Dominic Outreach Center, Veterans, Plymouth/Canton Schools Clothing Bank, Dorothy Day House, Mott Children’s Hospital, Holy Family Detroit, and Corpus Christi.
Please return all items by Sunday, December 4th . Gifts cards can be given to the office or dropped in the offertory box. Monetary donations are also welcome and can also be given to the office or dropped in the offertory box. There will be gray carts in the gathering space for you to drop off other generic donation(s). If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Bittner at 734-981-1333 ext. 116, or at: lisa.bittner@abecket.org
