Our annual Giving Tree Project brightens Christmas for parish families as well as people helped by groups such as Mass Coalition for the Homeless and Immaculate Conception Parish in Lawrence. All recipients depend on the goodness of others to cope with the difficulties and hardships in their lives. Request tags, which contain information used to match returned presents with the correct recipient, will be displayed on boards in the church on November 17 and 18. Your purchased gift, along with its tag, should be brought to church by December 1 st /2 nd to allow time for sorting and delivering. One important issue: If you take a tag but then realize you can t provide the listed gift, please return it as soon as possible to the church or parish center. We trust that gifts will be donated for all removed tags, but when that doesn t happen, it s a real challenge to provide for the gifts listed on the missing tags. Thank you for making our Giving Tree Project a tremendous success every year. Your cooperation, compassion and generosity are limitless and greatly appreciated.
