Advent, November 27-December 24, is a busy time with many opportunities to share our
Time, Talents and Treasures!
Collections and Drives:
Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive - We will be joining forces with Scholastic Book Clubs to provide new pajamas and storybooks to at-risk children. We hope to help them reach even more children. We will be collecting brand-new pajamas, pajama sets, and nightgowns sized newborn to adult. (Children’s pajamas must be flame-retardant.) MAKE A DONATION AND WEAR PAJAMAS ON DECEMBER 5.
Stocking Drive - We will be supporting our sister diocese Catholic school by collecting children’s stockings and stocking stuffers (bubbles, yoyos, marbles, jump ropes, jacks), puzzles (20-100 piece), games, dominos, chess games, Jenga, or playground balls. These will be sent to our Sister Diocese, the Diocese of San Juan de la Maguana in the Dominican Republic to distribute to the children of the remote mountainous areas. MAKE A DONATION AND WEAR A CHRISTMAS SHIRT ON DECEMBER 10.
Dove Tree Donations 2019 - We will be supporting the Council of Catholic Women by collecting new clothing, toiletries, or baby items to be donated to local families in need. MAKE A DONATION AND WEAR CHRISTMAS COLORS ON DECEMBER 19.
