    CHRISTMAS OUTREACH 2020 ST. PAUL GIVING TREE - EXTENDED DEADLINE Thank you to all who have already contributed! Due to more organizations reaching out to us, we have extended the deadline to Monday, December 14 for all gift cards and gifts to be returned to the Parish. The links for St. Francis House will remain active beyond December 14th. For more information, please contact Donna Norwood at [email protected] or (781-237-9956). Sunset Point Camp/Catholic Charities: This year, SPC will be providing gift baskets to their families. They have requested our help with grocery gift cards (Stop & Shop) or Target gift cards. Gift cards should be placed in an envelope marked “SPC” and deposited through the mail slot on the door of the St. Paul Parish offices.

    Wellesley Council on Aging: WCA has requested gift cards to both Roche Brothers and Target for local seniors. Gift cards should be placed in an envelope marked “WCA” and deposited through the mail slot on the door of the St. Paul Parish offices. Walker School: The Walker School will be collecting Target Gift cards for their Toy Drive this year. Gift cards should be placed in an envelope marked “Walker” and deposited through the mail slot on the door of the St. Paul Parish offices. Santa’s Magic – Soldier’s Home in Chelsea and VA Hospital: Gift Bags only this year; please no wrapped gifts as staff will need to check each package. Gift items include: Watches, puzzle book, battery shaving kit, aftershave, zippered sweatshirt, Pj pants (size L or XL). Please leave your gifts in a gift bag on the porch of the Parish Hall weekdays between the hours of 9am – 12 pm and mark appropriately (SHC for the Soldier’s Home or VA for the hospital). St. Francis House (SFH): SFH has created 3 Amazon gift wish lists. Below are the links with instructions to order on Amazon and have your gift sent directly to SFH: Winter boots, socks and toiletries: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3J6BS3OLNIVIL/ref=cm_go_nav_hz General clothing donations: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/PKEZFD6KFF6D/ref=cm_go_nav_hz Winter items: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/RYCZP1DG51NM/ref=cm_go_nav_hz

    SPIRIT OF SHARING GIFT COLLECTION FOR LAWRENCE To be sure, we will miss gathering with fellow St. John-St. Paul parishioners up in Lawrence this year to help parents or caretakers select presents for their children. Kindly consider selecting one or more gifts from Spirit of Sharing's first-ever online registry for Lawrence's severely at-risk infants, children and teens:

    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3682JKY7ABCIB?ref_=wl_share

    Your gifts will be shipped directly to Rev. Paul O'Brien, Pastor, St. Patrick Parish, who will deliver them personally to chil-dren's homes by Christmas Eve. If you would prefer to donate funds that Father Paul's staff would use to purchase gifts for these children on your behalf, go to: www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=TSH647QEESBXE According to Fr. Paul, “In the best of times, life here in Lawrence is difficult for many. Lawrence is consistently the economically poorest city in MA, and residents deal daily with a galaxy of social issues. These are not the best of times in Lawrence. At least 150 residents have died from the coronavirus and more than 5,000 have been confirmed positive. Since many people here work in front-line service jobs and live in crowded housing, Lawrence is and remains deeply in the COVID-19 red zone, with now over a 62.4 average daily incidence rate per 100,000 residents [vs. 15.3/100k statewide]. Lawrence’s unemployment rate hovers at about 33.1 % [vs. 9.6 % statewide], and questions about possible shifts in the rental eviction ban have left many families particularly on edge. I do believe all children should receive Christmas gifts. Past Spirit of Sharing contributions have transformed the experience of Christmas for thousands of children here in Lawrence.”

    CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME, LAUDATO SI`

    The season of Advent is full of hope. Pope Francis states: “Hope speaks to us of a thirst, an aspiration, a longing for a life of fulfillment... Hope is bold; it can look beyond per-sonal convenience, the petty securities and compensations which limit our horizon, and it can open us up to grand ideals that can make life more beautiful and worthwhile.” (Fratelli Tutti, #55)

    In this time where news about the environment and climate change is not always the most hopeful, we want-ed to bring to you a message of hope: Good news!! Converse, the sneaker company, is spanning the globe to create eco-friendly murals in large cities. They call these cityscapes “City Forests.” The paint used on these murals is photocatalytic. What on earth is that?! It’s a

    technology that uses light energy to break down air pollutants and convert them into harmless substances. In other words, these paintings have the same impact on cleaning our air as do our forests. Currently, these City Forests represent the air-cleaning power of 4,894 trees! So this week, take a moment to give thanks to God for all of those creative people throughout our planet who are giving us hope as they nurture and protect our common home. After all, we are a people of hope and we carry this hope in our hearts wherever we go.

    In today's Gospel John the Baptist urges us to "Prepare the way of the Lord." We are called to help prepare the way of the Lord by making the real meaning of Christmas come alive in our own hearts, in our family, and to reach out to those in need. Is there a family you know who needs assistance? Please call the Society of St. Vincent de Paul so that together we can help the suffering and poor to celebrate Christmas.

    The St. John-St. Paul Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is available to help those in our community in need of emergency assistance, especially during this current crisis. If you or someone you know needs help with food, rent or mortgage assistance, or help with a utility bill, please reach out to us. All information received is kept completely confidential. Please stay safe and healthy, and may God bless you!
