URGENT REQUEST:
- We still have over 100 ornaments on our Giving Tree at the main entrance of the Church. Please take one and return to the Parish Center by Monday, 12/11 at the latest. Better yet, no need to get an ornament. When you come to Mass this weekend, just bring a gift card or an unwrapped toy or gift for a child or teen and drop in the basket on the sanctuary. You may also donate to the fund and we’ll get a gift for you: bit.ly/StPiusGivingTree.
- Our St. Vincent de Paul Food Distribution is on Saturday, 12/16 and we need your help with donations of non-perishable items such as rice, beans, canned fruits and vegetables, cereals and soups for much needed assistance to the needy in our community. Please drop off at the Parish Center or in the basket at the main entrance of the Church.
