The Christmas Giving Tree
It is that time of year to introduce the St. John 2021 Giving Tree Program. This program helps local families in need to have a merrier Christmas by making sure there are a few toys and gifts under the tree.
Many of the families we are helping this year could be any one of our families sitting in the pews. Our lives could be going along just fine, and suddenly, something unexpected happens and a family is unable to work and struggling to make ends meet.
Last year, through the generosity of our parishioners and our Knights of Columbus, along with area businesses and organizations, over 70 families were helped through this program.
