St. John School was well represented yesterday as they delivered the school’s donations of hats, gloves and socks for a Christmas Drive to St. Anthony Shrine Outreach Program.
The schools 7th and 8th grade students went to the Shrine to drop them off personally and met with the Outreach Coordinator, who explained how the items will be hand delivered to the homeless in the streets of Boston.
St. Anthony Shrine was overwhelmed with the amount of items donated and expressed how much it supports them in their mission. They are grateful to have St. John School as partners in their work to help those in need.
Father Tom Conway, OFM, Executive Director of the Shrine said, “Thank you to St. John School’s wonderful students. The donations will go a long way this winter!”
