Once again Blessed Sacrament Church will participate in the Angel Tree Project which provides Christmas gifts for children of incarcerated parents.

To participate, come to the church starting November 28th and pick a gift tag from the Christmas tree in the back of the church.  Each tag will include gift ideas (with age of child).  Wrap each gift individually and return the wrapped gift to Christmas tree in the back of the church.

Thank you in advance for your generosity of spirit with your participation on this year’s Angel Tree.
