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 three ‘iced’ trees filled with many tags. There will be a display of the trees on the weekends of November 18th and 19th through December 2nd and 3rd. The display will have many colored tags and a sign with each organization’s name. The organizations’ greatest needs are gifts cards for Meijer,
Walmart, Targ et, Amazon or Kohl’s with suggested denominations of $25. This year there will be 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, but please attach the tag to the toy or clothing. We hope this helps 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, Angels Place, Holy Family Detroit, and Corpus Christi.
Please return all items by Sunday, December 10th. 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 Area for you to drop off donation(s).
