Known for his engaging, informative and humorous personality, Msgr. McDonald, , will share a spiritual message for us as we embark upon Advent and ready ourselves for the great Feast of Christmas.

The Giving Tree

The Annual Saint Boniface Giving Tree to benefit the Madonna Heights Program of SCO Family of Services has once again been set up in the vestibule of the church.  For more than 50 years, Madonna Heights has been helping adolescent girls, women and families over-come the devastating effects of poverty, neglect and abuse.   Please help the young women in their care feel special during this Christmas season by taking a tag from the tree.  All gifts should be returned unwrapped by Sunday, December 13.  Your gifts will go a long way in helping those served by SCO’s Madonna Heights.  Thank you for your generosity.
