Christmas in October??? Yes, that’s a scary thought!!!
But when it comes to fulfilling Christmas Wishes for 400 children we need to start thinking about Christmas in October!
We have only 3 weeks to recruit volunteers to sign up to sponsor a child this Christmas – will you be one of them?
When you sponsor a child (or multiple children), you will be given a wish list for clothing and a special gift that you will purchase and drop off at a local Wellesley home to be delivered to the families. Your instructions will be emailed to you the week before Thanksgiving and gifts will need to be dropped off the week after Thanksgiving.
SPONSOR A CHILD
We also welcome donations to help purchase gifts and gift cards for children not matched with sponsors. You can donate online or by check (made payable to St. John Parish with Christmas Wish in the memo.) Checks may be placed in the collection basket at Mass, or mailed to/dropped at the Parish Office at 39 Washington St. Wellesley, MA 02481.
Questions? Please contact Chrissy Cassa (chrissy.cassa1358@gmail.com) or Sarah Connolly at the Parish Office (sarah.connolly@
Christmas Wish has been one of the highlights of St. John’s holiday outreach since 1993. Christmas Wish supports children in our sister parishes of St. Katherine Drexel in Roxbury, St. Patrick in Lowell, St. Patrick in Brockton and children in our own community. The program also supports the Julie Family Learning Program in Boston with much-needed grocery gift cards.
