During Advent, the parish collects gifts for the needy of our community. A tag is provided that describes the age and gender of the recipient. When the donor places a gift with the tag under the Jesse Tree, an ornament is hung on the branches of the tree. The tree becomes a symbol of our parish community’s generous gifts and willing spirit of sharing with others.

The Jesse Tree Outreach for the Parish of Immaculate Conception and Assumption of Our Lady provides for the homeless, the abused, the poor and the pregnant. They include homes for battered women, unwed mothers, women in transition, children and grandchildren of prisoners, the homeless, senior citizens and families in need.

The gifts are distributed to parishes and agencies located primarily in the Bronx and lower Westchester County.
