December 2020 It’s Time for our Angel Trees!

Our Angel Tree project traditionally collects Christmas gifts to enable adults and children in need to share in the joy we experience during Advent and Christmas. This year will be a little different: what isn’t, in 2020?

Instead of picking an age and agency, to be in compliance with Covid-19 restrictions, where we would have had trees adorned with gift tags we now asked everyone to choose tags from a basket. The baskets were marked Children or Nursing Homes/Assisted Living Facilities. Participants took the tag(s) on top of the pile selected. Angel Tree Volunteers signed out the tag(s) selected for each present.

Gifts were returned to the Adoration Chapel, St. Mary site (119 N. Beaver Street, New Castle, PA 16101) Sunday, November 29th: 9:00 am—10:30 am or Monday, November 30th: 4:00 pm—6:00 pm. Holy Spirit volunteers arranged to deliver the presents to the appropriate agencies.

Gifts were stored across several rooms by their destinations. The pictures here are a sampling of the gifts collected for this Christmas. God bless us everyone!
