White Gifts
December 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Each year our congregation gathers White Gifts at the early worship on Christmas Eve. These are gifts of men’s underwear and tee shirts, heavy socks, brimmed ball caps, towels, washcloths, and/or long-sleeved shirts all wrapped in white paper that are brought forward during worship by our children who then present them symbolically to the Christ-child in the manger. These gifts then get distributed through St. Bernadette’s Catholic Church, migrant workers ministry, to those in need.
