Christmas Giving Tree 2022

-
Once again, we call upon the generous members of St. Jude's parish to make this Christmas special for the children of St. Benedict/St. Athanasius Parish, Cradles to Crayons, and the residents of Holy Family Home.
The St. Jude Parish Youth Group members have prepared "Gift Tags" for the Christmas Tree/Wreath. Please take a tag and purchase the gift suggested on the tag. Note that we will not be collecting any children's or baby toys, Lego's, games, dolls, or sporting good equipment this year.
Please return all gifts (new and unwrapped) by Sunday, December 4th so they can be sorted and distributed. Boxes for drop-off can be found in the church narthex and chapel areas.
See the details below regarding each of the three organizations. Visit their websites to learn more about them!
Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity!
Any questions, please feel free to contact Diana Webster (215-262-5584).
