In December students in several grades wrote Christmas cards to our home-bound parishioners. We received several heartfelt notes of thanks. One 97-year-old woman wrote:
When I opened each envelope of Christmas wishes from the pupils of Religious Education, my heart filled with joy realizing the effort put into these thoughtful wishes in a note from these fine students.
Please share this message with your children to let them know the happiness they brought to many through their simple gesture.
During the Friends for Good sessions on January 8, students in grades 7 – 10 prepared toiletry kits for and wrote personal notes to the homeless men who use the day shelter at St. Francis House in Boston. Toiletries contained in the kits were donated by these students in November.
