The Angel/Sharing Tree has been a tradition among our parish churches for over 30 years. This year, in addition to our parishioners who are in Nursing Homes and shut-ins, community organizations will be contacted to provide names to be placed on the “Angel” cards which will be on the trees in all of our Church buildings. The agencies we are supporting are: Bread of Life Food Pantry, Catholic Charities, Etna Commons, Vincentian Nursing Home, Little Sisters of the Poor, Genesis, Lifeline, St. Mary’s Courtyard, and our Parish Nursing Home residents and shut-ins. The “Angel” cards will be available the weekend of November 25th and 26th and gifts must be returned by the December 16th and 17th weekend. Monetary donations will also be accepted for those of you who would rather have the Ladies of Charity purchase a gift on your behalf. If using a check please make payable to “Ladies of Charity, St. Matthew’s Parish”. Thank you for your continued support of this wonderful parish tradition. May Christ, our Hope, continue to bless you.
