HELP OUR ADVENT GIVING TREES GROW!
St. Matthew has a tradition of expressing gratitude for our blessings by sharing them with those who have less. Please select an “Advent Need Tag” at
our Church entrances. Bring your unwrapped gift (with Tag affixed) to place on our Altar Trees. Help our trees “grow” each week during Advent to ensure the children and families of Blessed Sacrament Parish in Bridgeport have a Blessed Christmas!
