What is Christmas Angels?
The St. Ignatius Christmas Angel Ministry anonymously matches “Angels” to provide food gift cards and gifts for local families who find themselves in a tough situation at Christmastime. As a “People for Others,” we open our hearts and hands to those in need. The program is dedicated to our Blessed Mother as a Christmas gift to the Infant Jesus. We ask Her to send us all who need help…and “Angels” to provide that assistance.
This Year Delivery Day is
Saturday, December 9th 2023!
Angels deliver their gifts and/or food gift cards in the morning from 8:00 to11:30 am to Christus Center, and are gone before receiving families arrive for pick-up in the afternoon.
Who is an Angel?
“Angels” are individuals, groups, or families who would like to share in the blessings they have received over the years, by providing food gift cards and/or gifts for a local family.

Please check your email, including spam folder, beginning in mid-November for your assignment information.
We will provide the following:
