The original Angel Tree Program started many years ago as a way to help the children of low-income families in this area receive Christmas gifts. Over the years, our program has expanded. We have added additional angels with help from various organizations in our community. Currently, we help seniors, ages 65 and older and children, ages 16 and younger through St. Benedict’s Lunch Ministry and PSR Program, Fairhaven Orphanage, St. Tammany Operation Christmas and through the Church Office. In 2020, despite the Covid issues, St. Benedict Church Parish provided 150 Angels with gifts during the Christmas Season. The dates for the 2021 Angel Program are:
November 20--Angel Tree is set up in the Church.
December 5, at noon--Deadline for gifts to be submitted
December 5, 1 PM--gift sorting
December 7--Distribution day to Angels
