Volume XVIII No. 2062 Second Sunday of Advent December 6, 2020
St. Paul Early Childhood Program, with the assistance of St. Vincent de Paul, are inviting you to help us help others in need within our community this Christmas by purchasing items for families on our Angel Tree. As we all know, 2020 has been an especially difficult year for so many of us, and we have been presented with a humbling opportunity
to be Christ’s hands and feet by sharing our blessings with those less fortunate. Fifteen families have been selected and their needs and wants are represented by tags on our
Angel Tree. Each Angel will hold tags of a different family. You may adopt the entire family or fill one or two requests by removing the tags from the tree and returning the purchased and wrapped items to the Church by Friday, December 18th. Please be sure to attach the angel tag to the gift, so that it gets to the correct family, and
please do not include any personal information. Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22: 34-40. Thank you for sharing the love of Christ with others this Christmas.
El Programa de ECP de San Pablo, junto con San Vicente de Paul, los invitan a ayudar otros necesitados dentro de nuestra comunidad esta Navidad por medio de nuestro árbol de ángel. Como todos sabemos, 2020 ha sido un año especialmente difícil para muchos. Este año, los invitamos a ser las manos y pies de Cristo por medio de esta humilde oportunidad de compartir nuestras bendiciones con los menos afortunados. Se han seleccionado 15 familias y sus necesidades y deseos están representados por etiquetas en nuestro árbol de ángeles. Cada ángel tendrá Etiquetas con los miembros de la familia. Puede adoptar toda la familia o parte de la familia. traiga sus regalos envueltos al Centro de Bienvenida para el viernes 18 de diciembre. Por favor pegue la etiqueta al regalo para que llegue a la familia correcta y también pedimos que no incluya información personal.
Jesús dijo: “Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con toda tu mente. Este es el mayor y el primer mandamiento. El segundo es semejante: amarás a tu prójimo como a tí mismo”. Mateo 22: 34-40. Gracias por compartir el amor de Cristo con otros esta Navidad
