Operation Shoebox

Operation Christmas Child invites parishioners to fill one or more shoeboxes with their own personal selection of toys, games, personal items and gifts.  The donated boxes are then sent to Samaritan’s Purse, a global organization which distributes them to youngsters throughout the world during the holiday season.
