Giving Tree 2021 Update

Thank you to everyone who helped make the St. Jude Giving Tree Project such a huge success this year!  Despite the continuing challenges of the pandemic, the overwhelming generosity of our parishioners shined brightly in bringing Christmas to families in need in our community.  We are thankful for the hard work of Cheryl Griffith and her amazing People Helping People Furniture Team, the St. Jude Staff, our American Heritage Girls, our Boy Scout Troop and the members of our RCIA community -  who gave of their time to this project.  We are thankful to everyone who purchased gifts or gift cards, donated money to purchase bikes and helmets (a special thank you to Ram Construction), to Pearl and Ken Nemeth who physically purchased the bikes, and for the volunteers who helped check, sort and distribute the gifts.  Through the incredible giving spirit of our parish, the St. Jude Giving Tree was able to bring Christmas to 180 local families, 14 Dallas families and two veteran’s homes in Bonham.  Included in this number, 57 children received bikes and helmets thanks to generous monetary donations.  In total 949 individuals will have Christmas presents under the tree this year thanks to the St. Jude Giving Tree!  God Bless and Merry Christmas!
