Advent Giving gets started November 24/25, when you can find a basket wjth the Advent Giving tags in the Gathering Space. The following weekend, (December 1/2), the Advent Giving tree will be up.
Take a tag and return the wrapped (unless tag indicates that wrapping is not necessary) gift, with the tag attached, and place under the Giving Tree by the end of the 11:00 am Mass on Sunday, December 9, when we will pack everything up for delivery.
