Mission:
To help struggling church and school families provide for some general needs and wants of their family during the Christmas season.
History:
The Giving Tree is an offshoot from our mother parish, Saint Joseph Catholic Church. It was created to help families provide their children with a nice Christmas who would otherwise not have the means to do so. It originally consisted of providing each child with a toy and a new outfit, which included a shirt and pants/skirt (or dress), sweater or sweatshirt, socks, and underwear. Each family was also given a food box.
Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton’s involvement in the Giving Tree ministry started when St. Joseph and St. Elizabeth had a combined school, St. Joseph-St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School. The parish eventually formed its own Giving Tree which is now called the Angel Giving Tree.
