I Believe in Angels

Sunday, November 3 – Sunday, December 14

I Believe in Angels (IBIA) is one of the annual partnerships between Saint Michael and Jubilee Park and Community Center. Parishioners sponsor angels (children and seniors) through financial donations and/or by purchasing Christmas gifts, which will be wrapped and donated to families.

Volunteers are needed to run Sunday tables, wrap gifts, bake cookies, and distribute gifts. Tables will be set up outside the church and chapel on Sundays for parishioners to select angels and make donations. Donated gifts can be shipped to 4344 Colgate Ave, Dallas, TX 75225. Collection bins will be in the church and chapel narthexes on Sundays. There will also be a collection bin at the West Entrance for drop-off during classes and public events.

Cookie Baking, Gift Wrapping, and Gift Distribution Volunteers

Baking Christmas Cookies
Volunteers are needed to spread holiday cheer by baking cookies for I Believe in Angels support staff and volunteers. Pick a favorite recipe and share your family’s holiday cookie tradition! Place your cookies in a disposable plastic bag or container (note: these will not be returned) and deliver them on Thursday, December 12, between 9 and 11 a.m.

Gift Wrappers
We will be wrapping gifts for the Jubilee children and teens at Jubilee Park and Community Center on December 8, 9, and 11. Please register for a shift and know that all instructions and materials will be provided.

Gift Distribution Volunteers
We will be distributing the gifts for the Jubilee children and teens at Jubilee Park and Community Center on Saturday morning, December 14. Please sign up to join us in this effort, and please note that you will be outside, so dress warmly!

Sunday Registration Tables

Volunteers are needed on Sundays to help walk parishioners through their IBIA selection and sponsorship of angels (both children and seniors). Please sign up for a shift (or two!) to help with this important step of the process on a Sunday when you’ll already be at Saint Michael.

Gift Registration for Children of Jubilee Park

This year, you will be provided with details as to what gifts children in different age and gender categories would like to receive, including the option to purchase them via an Amazon wish list. Alternatively, you can purchase a wish list item from a different retailer.  And if you prefer, you can also decide to purchase another age-appropriate gift valued from $40.00 to $50.00.

Gift Selection: November 3 – December 1
Gift Deliveries via Amazon or Drop-offs: November 19 – December 4
