The Holy Spirit Angel Tree project has been a part of our Parish for twenty-five plus years. Each November we put up a Christmas tree in the Church gallery that is covered with tags that correspond to the individual agencies that we work with each year.
We currently partner several agencies in the River Region:
Montgomery County DHR to provide Christmas gifts to babies and children that are being served through Foster Care and Child Protective Services.
Catholic Social Services to provide gift cards that are used by their outreach program throughout the year-not just Christmas to support their clientele.
Crises pregnancy centers:
COPE to provide gift cards and monetary donations that are used throughout the year to support expectant and new moms that come to them for assistance.
Mary’s Haven to provide gift cards and monetary donations that are used throughout the year to support expectant and new moms that come to them for assistance.
We are always in need of volunteers to aid us each year as we work to ensure the success of this project so that we can help those that need us the most!
