The Giving Tree
In anticipation of the great event Christmas!
The Giving Tree has been decorated with tags so that you may help those in need this Christmas. Please return your gift by Sunday, December 16 so that there is time to sort and distribute the gifts. We ask that the gifts are brought in unwrapped but we will gladly accept wrapping paper, bows and tags so that the families can wrap the gifts for their loved ones. Thank you for all the support you give to Outreach.
Come and worship with the new Our Lady of Lourdes Youth Orchestra!
