Council Of Catholic Women - Boxes Of Joy

Elizabeth Borovy • August 27, 2025

Help Bring Joy to a Child This Christmas!

The Council of Catholic Women (CCW) is partnering with Cross Catholic Outreach to bring the gift of joy to children in need around the world. Boxes of Joy will be available for pickup in the Narthex after all Masses on Saturday, August 30 and Sunday, August 31, 2025.


These special boxes are part of a mission outreach program designed to bless children living in developing countries who might otherwise go without a gift at Christmas. Each box includes a list of suggested items, making it simple to fill with small toys, clothing, school supplies, hygiene items, and other thoughtful gifts.


Participants return the completed boxes to the parish office, and Cross Catholic Outreach ensures they are delivered to children who will treasure them.


The 2025–2026 CCW Calendar of Events brochure will also be available during distribution. The calendar highlights upcoming gatherings, service opportunities, and events for those interested in connecting with the parish community and supporting future outreach efforts.


Help make a difference this Christmas, one Box of Joy at a time.


Council of Catholic Women (CCW) se está asociando con Cross Catholic Outreach para llevar el regalo de la alegría a niños necesitados en todo el mundo. Las Cajas de Alegría estarán disponibles para recoger en el Nártex después de todas las Misas el sábado 30 de agosto y el domingo 31 de agosto de 2025.


Estas cajas especiales forman parte de un programa de alcance misionero diseñado para bendecir a niños que viven en países en desarrollo y que, de otro modo, no recibirían un regalo en Navidad. Cada caja incluye una lista de artículos sugeridos, lo que facilita llenarlas con juguetes pequeños, ropa, útiles escolares, artículos de higiene y otros obsequios significativos.


Los participantes deben devolver las cajas completas a la oficina parroquial, y Cross Catholic Outreach se encargará de que sean entregadas a niños que las apreciarán profundamente.


El folleto con el Calendario de Eventos de la CCW 2025–2026 también estará disponible durante la distribución. El calendario destaca las próximas reuniones, oportunidades de servicio y eventos para quienes deseen conectarse con la comunidad parroquial y apoyar futuros esfuerzos de alcance.


Ayude a marcar la diferencia esta Navidad, una Caja de Alegría a la vez
