Holiday Projects
-
We invite you to join us this Advent and help brighten the spirits of those who are experiencing a difficult time. Volunteers help us bring the love of Jesus and the Joy of Christmas to those in need this Holy Season.
Holiday Gift Baskets
Each year we identify parishioners who are struggling financially and we want to bless them with Thanksgiving and/or Christmas food baskets. We are looking for families or groups to help with this endeavor. Baskets or boxes can be decorated and notes enclosed. Be sure to sign first names only. Items to include in the baskets/boxes are food for their festive meal, a gift card to a grocery store (labeled with the amount on the card for them to purchase perishable food including meat and milk), personal care products, etc. to make the holidays special.
Angel Tree
This annual Christmas gift drive provides over 2,000 gifts that benefit those in need. The individuals request specific presents and we make angel ornaments requesting the new gifts wanted. Thus the families experience a joyful Christmas. This effort begins in October and runs through the gift distribution in mid-December.
Thank you so much for your overwhelming generosity with last year’s Angel Tree program.

Angel Tree wish list
Please pick an Angel with a child or an adult’s Christmas wish and bring the new unwrapped gift back to the Church on the first weekend in December.
Volunteers are needed to make Angels, setup trees, hang angels, and collect and sort gifts. It takes many people to make Angel Tree possible. It’s impossible to list all your names but a sincere thanks to all of you who volunteered last year. Because of your time and support, it was another successful year and definitely made it a very MERRY CHRISTMAS for those less fortunate.
It truly shows the REASON for the SEASON.
Financial contributions are needed to supplement these blessings. Please make checks to Epiphany of the Lord, and include “Outreach Holiday Projects” on the memo line, so that we can provide a Thanksgiving meal to those less fortunate, and meals and gifts for our parishioners in need and replace Angel Tree gifts not returned.
