• Religious Ed. Christmas Card Service Project

  Tuesday Dec 13, 2022 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM

  Following in a tradition started last year, we invite all family members to participate in our community service project. On Dec. 13, during the normal Tuesday evening class time, we’ll set up tables in the Parish Center with construction paper, envelopes and blank Christmas cards, along with the names and addresses of homebound parishioners, retired priests and West Orange senior citizens. Religious Ed. parents and younger students -- and any interested parishioners -- are welcome to come by and join the older children during that time to spread holiday cheer by making cards and writing personalized messages to the recipients. We’ll take care of delivery and even provide the crayons, markers & pens! Light refreshments will be available. Questions, please contact Clare Krakoviak at c.krakoviak@saintjosephwo.org or 973-669-8331.
