A gift-giving drive for children is underway at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church.

Parishioners are invited to take an ornament from the Christmas tree. The ornaments contain the age, size and sex of a child in need of a Christmas gift.

Participants are asked to deliver the gift along with the ornament back to the Church office by Friday, Dec. 15 in order for the child to receive the gift in time for Christmas.

OLSS is calling on members of each parish ministry, and individual and visiting parishioners as well, to help in the preparation for the third Annual Children’s Christmas Celebration.
