This year Ash Wednesday was March 5th, which also begins another St. Isidore Lenten Giving Tree Program. During Lent we spread God’s Word through our good works around the world. This year St. Isidore parish family will be sponsoring three charities and supporting God’s people from around the world who are in desperate need. In future articles the Lenten Giving Tree committee will introduce you to the organizations and the charities for 2025.
Two of the three Lenten Giving Trees will be set up in the large gathering space with envelopes hanging from their branches, and the third tree will be set up by the Romeo Plank ADA accessible entrance. The envelopes will have instructions for you to choose the charity that you would like your donation to help. There is an informational flyer placed in each envelope for easy reference to each charity.
The trees will be set up from March 5th, Ash Wednesday, through Sunday, April 6th. Envelopes will be collected through Palm Sunday, April 13th. If you are donating by check, please make the check payable to St. Isidore and on the memo line indicate which charity you would like to sponsor. Donations are tax-deductible and 100% of the contribution goes for services directly involving God’s people we are sponsoring.
“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes Me; and whoever welcomes Me does not only welcome Me, but the One who sent Me. “
