Pack a Box of Joy!
Our Religious Education Program will be working with Cross Catholic Outreach to give poor children in Guatemala a gift for Christmas. Every year, thousands of poor children experience a Christmas without hope. Go to www.crosscatholic.org/boxofjoy to learn more.

Instructions:

- Select Boy or Girl and then the age category (2-4 yrs., 5-9 yrs., or 10-14 yrs.).

- Fill a plastic shoebox with lid (approximately 12” by 5”) with small toys. Suggested ideas include: soap and case, pencils, crayons, dolls, deflated soccer balls and air pump, LED flashlight, toothbrush and case, t-shirt, toy cars or truck with large wheels, and a coloring book. See more suggested items below. 

- Also include a $9 donation in a clearly marked envelope.

 
“The world makes us look towards ourselves, our possessions, our  desires. The Gospel invites us to be open to others, to share with the poor.” –Pope Francis
