The Basilica Giving Tree to Help the Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem, the Gabriel Project and Project Rachel

The Basilica Youth and Young Adult Apostolates are sponsoring their annual Giving Tree Project. The tree will be at the back of the church throughout Advent. Please take a tree tag to make a donation to the Gabriel Project, Project Rachel or the Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem Foundation.

Each ministry offers help to others in need.
