Filling Boxes with Joy for Christmas

THIS is how you get into the holiday spirit! For the second year, the Motherhouse community filled Boxes of Joy for the Cross Catholic Outreach Christmas program. Sister Rita coordinates the project of filling shoebox-sized boxes for 25 boys and 25 girls ages 12-14, many in Central and South America. This year the gifts were toothbrushes and other health items; some small games; necklaces and bracelets; musical instruments; bean bags made by the Sisters; and more. Gifts are provided by individual Sisters and the Presentation Easter Egg Grant fund, which also covers shipping costs. Andrea Hetley. Learn more at crosscatholic.org.
