Volunteer for the St. Paul’s "Be An Angel" Program
Be An Angel project is special because our congregation will assist in placing huge smiles on the faces of children of all ages and their families. Volunteers are matched with a child’s wish list provided by Brookline Community Mental Health. You will shop for the items on the wish list (approx. $50-$75 per child) and return the items to St. Paul’s by Sunday, December 11th. If your family would like to participate, please email Paul Daigneault at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
