Advent Giving Tree     Look for the Advent Giving Tree in the back of the church this month.  Take an ornament from the Giving Tree and return that item by Monday, December 23.  You can leave the unwrapped items under the tree in the church or drop them off in the Parish Office.  Thank you so much for your generosity in making this a wonderful Christmas for the homeless in our community.  This year your donations will be supporting:  Noel House, St Martin de Porres and Broadview-Thomson K-8 Food Program.
