About
Box of Joy is a beautiful service opportunity that invites our parish to share the true spirit of Christmas by giving to children who would otherwise go without. In partnership with Cross Catholic Outreach, families at Sts. Simon & Jude fill shoebox-sized packages with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and notes of encouragement. These boxes are then sent directly to our mission parish in Guatemala, where they bring joy, dignity, and the love of Christ to children living in poverty.
This is more than a donation—it’s a tangible expression of faith, generosity, and global solidarity. Whether you’re packing a box as a family, a school group, or ministry team, you are making a lasting difference in a child’s life.
Boxes are distributed in January, with collection happening right here on campus. Together, let’s deliver hope—one box at a time.
