The Jesse Tree represents the family tree, or genealogy of Jesus Christ. It tells the story of God's salvation plan from creation and throughout the Old Testament, to the coming of the Messiah. The name comes from Isaiah 11:1, "Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit."
 
Every Advent the Catholic Mothers Council sponsor the Jesse tree by placing Angels on the tree for “adoption”. The Jesse Tree provides much needed clothing items, special needs gifts and other wished-for toys to needy children and families in Rockwall County.
 
The Jesse Tree only accepts children and families submitted through the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Our Lady of the Lake. We do not accept individual requests.
 
Please make The Jesse Tree a part of your Christmas Tradition.
