GIVING TREES

Friday, November 9, 2018, 00:23


The Giving Tree at St. Mary’s will go up on the weekend of November 17th and November 18th.  Many parishioners ask that the tags are up prior to Black Friday.  This year we will be supporting Wyalusing Area School District families, the Helping Hands Food Pantry and the Endless Mountains Pregnancy Care Center (with kids for kids tags).  In an effort to try to keep all gifts for each member of the family equal, we ask that you just fulfill the request on the given tag.  Please wrap your gift and put the tag on the outside of the gift, and please return to St. Mary’s by December 8th and 9th.  If you would like someone from Ministry of Mercy to help you shop for gifts, donations would be gratefully accepted.  Please see Leona Fitzgerald (570-746-3076) or Marilyn Burke (570-746-1280).
