Each Advent, a Christmas tree stands outside the doors of Our Lady of Refuge Church.  (See the photo at right.)   Parishioners take tags from the tree.  The tags indicate a Christmas gift for child or a gift which the parishioner can donate.

 

As parishioners return their gifts during Advent, the presents are stored in a warehouse facility donated by members of the parish.  (Note the photo at left.)

 

The day before the Christmas trip to Tijuana, volunteers sort clothes, gifts, food and other items to be taken to the border.  (See the photo at left.)

 

 

The photo at the right shows the truck which carries gifts to Tijuana.  Once the truck arrives at its destination, it is unloaded by people from Our Lady of Refuge and from the local community.  

 

 

On the final day of “Winter  Camp”, a pre-Christmas religious education program, gifts are distributed to the children and families.  (See the photo at left.)
