Good Shepherd’s Annual Advent Angel Tree program serves hundreds of people in need both near and far. Each year we set up Christmas trees in our Narthex during Advent. On the trees are hundreds of ornaments with printed requests for all kinds of gifts and items needed by people in our community. Parishioners take these ornaments off the trees, shop for the items on the ornaments, and then return the ornaments and gifts to the parish. The gifts can be dropped off in the Narthex or Bride's Room before or after Masses on Saturday, December 6 and Sunday, December 7. The Outreach Services Ministry then distributes the items to those in need through our partner agencies.

Gifts this year will be donated to Cassata Catholic High School, Catholic Charities Fort Worth, GRACE, Good Shepherd’s Honduras Mission Program, Mid-Cities Women Clinic, The Archway, the Sisters of St. Mary of Namur, Serving Our Seniors, Union Gospel Mission, GSCC Catholic Respect Life, Unbound Now and people served by the Good Shepherd Visitation Ministry.

Thank you so much for your generosity and outpouring of love. Your kindness touches the hearts of hundreds of people in our community.
