For over thirty years at the Christmas season, the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Immaculate Conception has sponsored the Caring Tree. Parishioners would purchase gifts for Easton children whose parents were financially struggling. Sadly, this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, SVdP is unable to safely administer the Caring Tree as we have done in past years. However, we will still be displaying our Caring Tree in the back of the church from November 28 through December 20, but with a different approach to satisfy the ever growing need for assistance by our parishioners during this coming holiday and winter season. Instead of the paper ornaments listing the child’s age, gender and size or toy preference, there will be envelopes attached to the tree. Parishioners are asked to take an envelope. Our Society is requesting ONLY monetary donations this year. This money will help us respond to the needs of Easton families who come to us for all kinds of help during the year. For your convenience, the envelopes will be stamped and addressed to: St. Vincent dePaul Society Immaculate Conception Church 193 Main Street North Easton, MA 02356 We ask that you please make checks payable to St. Vincent dePaul Society. Your generous support will allow us to provide financial assistance for food, fuel, prescriptions, emergency shelter, etc. If you find yourself needing assistance from SVdP Society, please contact the parish secretary at 508-238-3232. Please feel confident that we will uphold the strictest confidentiality with your request. We are hopeful and praying that we can return to our traditional Caring Tree in 2021. Thank you very much and stay well!
