#GivingTuesday at Conception Abbey
Each year, Conception Abbey and Tri-C Partners 4 Progress partner together to make Christmas morning a little brighter for local families. For nine years, the #GivingTuesday event has been a highlight of the holiday season, raising money and collecting donations that will be used to purchase gifts and other items for local families in need.

(located in St. Raphael Hall at Conception Abbey) - Complete the bottom portion (fill out your name and phone number)
- Tear off the bottom along the perforated line
- Drop the bottom section in the wooden church on the table
- Keep the top half of the ornament to use while shopping for this gift
- Bring your unwrapped new gift, with the top half of the ornament taped to the gift, to the Abbey before Friday, December 6
