This is our 27th year of offering the Giving Tree for the many men, women and children in our area that desperately need our prayers and thoughtful assistance.  The spirit of giving and helping those in need are intricate parts of our Church community.  St. Mary's Families and organizations like, BestSelf Family Connections & BestSelf Recovery Connections, Erie Co. Holding Center, Alden Correctional Facility, Niagara Co. Correctional Facility, West Side Blessings, Compass House, Brothers Keeper Outreach, Response to Love Center,  Endeavor Health Services (Hamlin Park School PS 74 and West Hertel Academy PS 94), Gerard Place, International Institute of Buffalo~Human Trafficking and Mercy Comprehensive Care Center have been helped in the past. 

Ornaments will be available Saturday, November 23, 2024 - both online at St. Mary's website through Sign-up Genius and on the Giving Trees in the foyer of the Church.

Please follow the instructions on the front and back of the ornament and return your unwrapped gift in a holiday bag (under the Giving Tree) NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 8, 2024.  We have committed to delivering a gift to every one of the individuals on the giving tree. Please make sure to return a gift if you take an ornament.

“WARMING TREE” - When all of the ornaments are off our GIVING TREE, it’s time to start bringing in WARM hats, mittens, and scarves to place on the tree. These will also be distributed to those in need.
