The Giving Tree (St. Aloysius, Springville, 2025)

The St. Aloysius Altar Society (Springville) is coordinating their annual Giving Tree.

(Please note: St. Mary’s often does a local one, which is different from the one at St. Aloysius.)

If you would like to participate, they ask you to do the following:

  • Pick out a gift tag found in the basket by the tree (most likely referring to a tree at St. Aloysius)
  • Place an angel on the tree
  • Bring your wrapped gift, with the gift tag attached and place under the tree.
  • We ask that the gifts be to the church (likely referring to St. Aloysius) by Sunday December 14, 2025.

We thank you for your support with this project.
