For over 30 years, our Parish has provided gifts for needy families during the Holiday season through the Sharing Tree Program. Last year, thanks to your generosity, we raised over $20,000 and were able to help 82 families with gift cards at Jewel. Target and Walmart which allowed them to provide a brighter and merrier Christmas to approximately 220 children.

This year, we hope to once again provide gift cards to those in need in our Parish schools and in the Austin area. There are many in our community who will benefit from your generosity. We will distribute the gift cards to families based on the number of people in the household, hoping to help make their Christmas brighter.

There are several ways you can contribute to The Sharing Tree:

• Take an ornament from one of the trees at the back of Church (starting November 28) and follow the guidelines on the back.
• Use the link below and make a donation online today via GiveCentral!
• Drop off or send a check, made payable to “Saint Catherine-Saint Lucy and Saint Giles Parish” to the Parish Office, 1025 Columbian Ave., Oak Park IL 60302.
• Purchase gift cards to Jewel, Target or Walmart and drop off at the Parish Office.

Please make your donations online or drop off checks and gift cards no later than Monday, December 7. This will ensure we have enough time to distribute the cards so the families can do their Christmas shopping.

Our Parish has a longstanding commitment to helping those in need. We hope you will support this important ministry that provides joy to so many during the Christmas season.
