Each year Our Lady of Consolation brings out The Giving Tree for donations of Christmas gifts for the children of Our Lady of Victories and Catholic Charities. Sometime between Thanksgiving and the middle of  December, parishioners are asked to donate gift cards in any amount up to $25. They are welcome to donate more than one gift card if they wish. We requesting gift cards from Amazon, Visa, American Express or MasterCard as well as department stores such as Target, Walmart or Kohl’s. In addition, anyone can feel free to donate a gift card from anywhere they feel appropriate to allow children of all ages to find a gift they will love.

A box is placed by the tree next to the altar for collection of the gift cards each weekend for the duration of the collection. You may also drop off your gift card(s) using the mail slot in the door of the OLC parish office at any time. Please place in an envelope clearly marked “Giving Tree”.

Our Lady of Consolation thanks you for your generosity in advance, and we look forward to all having a happy and healthy Christmas every year.
