Our Lady of the Assumption Social Action Angel Tree Dec. 2019

Woodbridge, CT - The Social Action Angel Tree Campaign will begin on November 9th and 10th this year. The Christmas trees will be set up in the vestibules of the Mother Church and the Center Road Church with the angels. On the front of the paper angel will be the age and sex of the child and the specific gift needed (if requested). On the back will be the date we need the presents returned in a holiday gift bag. This year, we need the gifts returned by Sunday, December 8th. Be sure to attach the paper angel to the gift bag.

There are seven organizations in and around the Woodbridge/New Haven area with needy children and families who will receive our donations. They include needy families in the Our Lady of the Assumption parish family, St. Francis/St. Rose Schools, Woodward-Ross School and Clinton Avenue School in New Haven, teacher wishes from St. Martin de Porres Academy in New Haven, children from St. Rafael’s Parish in West Haven and families from BH Care in Ansonia.

If parishioners of any age would like to help sort/match/assemble the gifts, we will be at the church hall on Friday morning, December 13th from 10:00 am until noon. The final sorting will be on Sunday morning, December 15th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. For Confirmation applicants who need to earn hours for community service, this is a great opportunity. We appreciate ANY time you can provide.

The campaign is headed by Anne McDonnell (203-393-3164), Nancy Slugaski (203-828-6273) and Gale Tirrell (203- 393-2489). For any questions or more information, feel free to contact us.
