St. Mary’s The Jesse Tree & Our Lady of the Rosary’s Angel Tree We have the ability to make wonderful Christmas memories for many children this year. Please help us by taking a tag off our giving trees, buy a present for the child listed on the back and return the unwrapped gift, with the tag attached and place it under the tree. Gifts should be returned by December 10th.

The Jesse Tree represents Jesus' family tree.

The name is taken from Isaiah 11:1, in which

Jesus is referred to as a shoot coming up from

the stump of Jesse, the father of David.

The ornaments on the Jesse tree tell of Jesus'

ancestors, and of the events leading to Jesus' birth.
