Over the next month, St. Sebastian will be participating in Box of Joy, a Christmas shoebox gift ministry organized by Catholic schools, parishes and groups nationwide. Last year, our generosity blessed over 350 children suffering from extreme poverty by filling boxes with toys and other gifts, sharing the joy of Christmas, and planting seeds of hope through the Gospel.
Materials will be available in the back of church and in the Parish Hall throughout October. Please return your packed Box of Joy gifts to the designated boxes in the back of church by Sunday, November 2.
A $9 donation is required to cover the shipping of the gifts to developing countries and can be made online at https://crosscatholic.org/box-of-joy/online or by mail using the donation envelope attached to the to the Box of Joy brochure or scanning the QR code.
If you have questions or would like to volunteer to help with the project, please contact MaryKay Zoulek at 616-745-2827.
