										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beginning the weekend of November 21st–22nd, you can select a tag for a Senior Living facility resident and a Toy Drive tag.</p>
<h2>Senior Facility – Make a Wish Come True!</h2>
<ul>
<li>Sacred Heart Church has a long and beautiful tradition of reaching out to residents in local senior living facilities to make their Christmas wishes come true.</li>
<li>Select a tag from the Giving Tree. The tag will have the senior’s name and a list of wishes. Please choose one wish you can make come true.</li>
<li>Purchase the gift, wrap the gift, and affix the tag to the gift with the tree image facing up.</li>
<li>Bring the wrapped gift to Mass no later than the weekend of December 5th–6th.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Salterra Senior Living facility will hold their Christmas party on December 14th at 2pm. If you would like to volunteer, please call the parish office at 727-541-4447.</p>
<p>If you select a tag from the tree, please return the gift no later than the weekend of December 5th–6th so everyone has a gift to open at the Christmas party.</p>
<h2>Toys for Christmas</h2>
<p>We are once again working in conjunction with the Pinellas Park Fire Department for distribution of toys to families in need. Take a tag from the Christmas Tree and purchase a toy. Unwrapped toys can be brought back to the church during the weekends of November 28th–29th and December 5th–6th.</p>
<p>Toys are collected for all ages, from infants up to 17 years old. The greatest need each year tends to be for teenagers. Gift cards are a great option for this age group, and they typically recommend Target, Walmart, or Amazon. Gift cards should be dropped off at the Gift Shop.</p>
<p>If you have any questions, please contact the parish office.</p>
