The Angel/Sharing Tree has been a tradition among our churches for over 30 years. This year, community organizations were 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, Christ Child Society, Hearth, Lifeline, Little Sisters of the Poor, Genesis, Evergreen Personal Care Home, St. Mary’s Courtyard, Children’s Institute Hope for the Holidays Gift Drive, and our Nursing Home residents and shut-ins. Gifts must be returned by NEXT weekend December 4th and 5th. 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.
