Many inner-city families are looking at sparse or no Christmas celebrations due to severe poverty. Let’s adopt these families so they may enjoy a proper Christmas celebration. The Adopt-A-Family program matches you with a family in need.
Deadline is December 12th.

The GIVING TREE has been part of the St. Lawrence Martyr Parish community for 40 years. You, the parishioners, have supplied gifts and food for families in need, lonely people in shelters, seniors in convalescent homes, and homeless people living on the streets. Your gift may be the only gift they will receive this year. The Gift of Giving is waiting for you again.

1. Take an ornament from the tree and buy the gift suggested on the ornament.
2. Return the gift to the Office with the ornament securely attached to it on or before December 10.
3. Join us at all the Masses on December 9/10, and bring your gift to the altar during the offertory procession.

This program supports:

• Del Amo Convalescent Hospital
• F.A.I.T.H. Ministry - Journey Out
• Missionaries of Charity Sisters' Shelter for Homeless Pregnant Women and their babies
• Presentation Sisters Learning Center in Watts
• Saint Joseph Baptismal Blanket Ministry
