This year marks over 25 years St. Joseph’s has hosted a Giving Tree to share our blessings with families in need in our community.  In this year of changes – our Giving Tree has gone virtual.  Instead of purchasing clothing and shoes for each child – we are collecting monetary donations that will be used to purchase grocery store gift cards for 68 familes.  Donations (in any amount) can be made online (click the 'Donate Online' button in the top right hand corner of this page and select category = 'other (Giving Tree)' or via check (payable to St. Joseph’s, please note ‘Giving Tree’ on memo line).  

We invite everyone to decorate a paper ornament at home and return to St. Joseph’s via scan/email to Marge Callahan (mcallahan@stjchurch.org) or put in our dropbox (to the right of office door at 15 Railroad Ave.) or mail to us at PO Box 7158, Spreckels, CA 93962.  You can design your own -- or use one of our templates below -- size no larger than 4"x4" -- can't wait to see your creations!  Add a blessing or greeting on the back (in English or Spanish) to share joy with our Soledad neighbors.  Ornaments will be added to our Giving Tree (join our livestream Masses to see the decorated tree each week during Advent) and delivered along with gift cards to families for Epiphany.  Donations and ornaments will be collected through December 31.  Thank you for your generosity.
