St. John the Baptist GIVING TREE – The Altar Guild is once again sponsoring our parish “Giving Tree”! The benefitting charity this year is Little Bottoms Up Free Store. This is another wonderful opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those in need during the holiday season. Starting Sunday, November 10, you will find a Christmas Tree in Sala Hall decorated with special ornaments. Each ornament represents an item in need that you can purchase as a gift. If you would like to participate, simply take an ornament from the tree, purchase the specified item, and bring it to the church UNWRAPPED, with the ornament attached to your gift, NO LATER than Sunday, December 1, as all gifts need to be in their possession later that same day so that they have time to organize, wrap, and disburse the gifts in December.  ALL of these items are from these charities “wish list “on Amazon. Just go to the Amazon website and search for the name of the toy you selected to purchase and place your order. Your contributions are genuinely appreciated! Please see a member of the Altar Guild if you have questions. God Bless you all for making a difference this Christmas season!
