OMC Advent Giving Tree
VIRTUAL & ONSITE TAGS AVAILABLE!
Our Advent Giving Tree, a Jesse Tree, is an Advent symbol portraying the spiritual heritage of Jesus as suggested by Isaiah’s prophecy: “There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse.” We, too, are that shoot as we claim our baptismal heritage. How might God be calling us to share our gifts this year?
This year, in addition to our in-person Jesse Tree which will be in the church vestibule, we have a Virtual Giving Tree. This Virtual Giving Tree will give all parishioners an opportunity to participate in this wonderful tradition even if they are not attending Mass in-person. Select a tag (or 2) and purchase as you would normally do. You may physically return the un-wrapped gifts to Church, the Parish Office, or the School Office. Gifts purchased online may also be sent directly to the Parish: OMC Giving Tree Gift Tag ID# XXX, 7 E. Chestnut Hill Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19118. Since you will not have a physical tag,
