The purpose of the Christmas Sharing Program is to provide gifts to families in need during the Christmas Season.
This small gesture can help adults and children experience the magic, joy, and spirit of the Christmas season.
Gifts collected from our Christmas Sharing Program will be distributed to the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels. The Mission of Our Lady of the Angels is located in the West Humboldt Park area on Chicago’s west side. This area is one of the poorest neighborhoods in Chicago.
The purpose of the Mission is twofold:
- To assist the materially poor
- To share the treasures of the Catholic faith.
