During the week of December 9th, Molloy ran its annual Toy Drive. Each grade was tasked with donating toys for a specific age group, ranging from stuffed animals and rattles to dolls and games! According to Campus Minister for Service - Rose Haslbauer - about 400 toys were donated to The Ronald McDonald House! The RMDH helps provide shelter for families with children that are critically ill in local hospitals.
Fr. John Delaney '79, Pastor of Sacred Hearts Parish in Bradford, MA, celebrated the Feast of the Immaculate Conception with the Central Catholic High School community.
Magic came alive at the 3rd Annual ELFstravaganza, hosted by the CCHS LINK Club! Volunteers from Columbus, Carrollton, St. Brendan, Lourdes, La Salle, and our first middle school group, St. Thomas the Apostle, came together to create joy and holiday cheer for the special needs community. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of teens working selflessly to spread love, laughter, and inclusion this Christmas season.
At the club Christmas party, the Green Team made ornaments and cards for those at the Franciscan Outreach in Pilsen. They no doubt brought smiles to many faces during the holiday season!
The SJA community celebrated their annual Christmas prayer service, including a reenactment of the Nativity, readings from the Gospels, hymns, goats, babies, and even dogs (meant to be sheep)!! While it may have been a lively scene, it was still a sacred time of prayer. During the service, SJA Bloodhounds placed themselves in first-century Bethlehem, embracing the true spirit of the season.
MSMA's Campus Ministry office collected toys and gifts for children at the Mercy Center in the South Bronx during their annual toy drive. Student volunteers also played Santa and a few of his elves for the center’s annual after school program Christmas party. The Marist Brothers at Champagnat Hall donated treat bags for all of the kids.
