A gratitude filled THANK YOU to those who donated to our Sharing Tree program this year. Our parish provided 150 children with "wish list" gifts that ranged from diapers to coats and boots to toys. These families/children were provided to us by Catholic Charities. The enthusiasm from parishioners happy to see the Sharing Tree in its pre-pandemic form was heartwarming. We were also able to provide Most Blessed Trinity Food Pantry with 137 $50 Walmart and Target gift cards through money collected ($6,050) and gift cards donated. Those will be distributed to children in Waukegan. A special thank you to Ryan Leider and Roger Manka for helping transport the gifts!
Thank you for continuing, year after year, to make Christmas a little brighter for so many less fortunate and struggling families during the season of hope.
