ST. VINCENT DE PAUL ~ TYLER

St. Vincent de Paul - Tyler continues our holiday tradition of generosity by providing Christmas gifts to "Friends and Neighbors" in Tyler and surrounding areas. These gifts show Christ's love and faithfulness to those facing significant financial hardship over the Christmas season. Your participation may help open hearts to receive the most important gift of all: the love of God shown in the gift of his Son that very first Christmas.

There are several ways to participate:

1. Visit an Angel Tree display

• Pick up tags starting December 1:  Angel Trees are located in the foyers of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul.  The trees are decorated with tags listing the Christmas wishes of a child, family, or senior. Take home a tag to pledge a gift.

• Please wrap your gifts and attach the gift tag to them.

• Drop off gifts no later than December 13:  Purchase the gift and bring both the wrapped gift and the tag back to the Cathedral or the Chapel.  Angel Tree gifts will be sorted and delivered by members of St. Vincent de Paul.

2. Volunteer to Help

• Volunteers make our Angel Tree drive successful. Please review our volunteer needs and fill out the Volunteer Form if you can help.

  • Tree Attendants (Dec 3-Dec 8): We need Angel Tree attendants before and after worship services to assist people pulling Angel Tree tags and to receive gifts which people deliver to the church.

  • Gift Sorters (Dec 15): We need a team of volunteers on the final day of the drive to sort and prepare gifts for delivery.

  • Gift Givers (Dec 19): We need volunteers to help distribute the gifts to each family at the Cathedral Center.
