Every year, CtR organizes two initiatives to help parishioners give back to families in need. Follow the links on this page to learn more about the Giving Tree and Toy Drive.
By sharing the gifts we are given, we are answering Christ's call to love and serve our neighbor. Thank you for any gifts you are able to share this Advent and Christmas season.
The Toy Drive is a CtR Christmas tradition! We collect new, unwrapped toys for our friends at our sister parish, Our Mother of Mercy. This is a great opportunity to witness our faith to others as Christ calls us to do.
Donations are accepted in the Narthex and at the Parish Office through Friday, Dec. 16. Donate via our Amazon.com Wish List and ship your donations directly to CtR. Please, no bikes or video games/electronics.
Please sign up below to help us sort and distribute! Volunteers will sort donations 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 16, in the Community Center. We ask all adult volunteers to be current with their CMG Connect certification before this event.
