Cross Catholic's Box of Joy
Project is coming soon!

We are excited to announce that it is almost time to begin our 3rd annual Box of Joy Christmas project! Box of Joy is a Christmas shoebox gift ministry organized by local Catholic schools, parishes and groups nationwide. We will bless 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. We encourage everyone to pack a Box of Joy!

Last year was our 2nd year to participate in the outreach and our parish did an amazing job! We were able to bless 300 children suffering from poverty in developing countries with Box of Joy gifts. This year, we have set a goal to bless 400 impoverished children. 

The Kickoff Celebration for our Box of Joy outreach will be the weekend of October 13th. 

Materials will be passed out after every Mass. The deadline for returning your packed Box of Joy is Sunday, November 10th. Please bring your boxes to the Holy Spirit Center.
