ANGEL GIFT GIVING TREE

Once again, in conjunction with the C.A.S., St. John Vianney parishioners are invited to participate in the Angel Tree gift giving program.
This program allows children who may not normally receive a gift at Christmas to experience the magic of Christmas.
 
Beginning the weekend of November 27th and 28th, parishioners will be asked to choose a paper angel from the tree in the parish hall that will bear the name and age of a child in need of a gift.  Simply purchase a gift suitable for the boy or girl and their age level, wrap it, and return it to the parish by the weekend of December 18th and 19th with the angel you received attached to the gift and the parish, along with the Children’s Aid Society, will ensure the child receives it. 
Suggestions for gift buying:
- Older children may prefer a gift certificate from a local   merchant

- If purchasing clothing, please ask for a gift receipt and enclose it with your gift.


For more info. please call Chantal Towsley at 727-0966
(*It is requested that no religious articles be given as children are of various backgrounds and religions)
