Confirmation Students Put Together Christmas Kits

Earlier this month the Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative Year 1 Confirmation students put together Christmas kits for the Catholic Charities Childcare Center in Lynn.

The components of these kits -- coloring books, crayons, play-doh, gloves, hats, bubbles, books, personal care items, and holiday decorations -- were donated by the Grades K-6 Faith Formation students from both Our Lady of the Assumption and St. Maria Goretti parishes. This is just one way that the students are living St. Francis of Assisi's reminder: "For it is in giving that we receive."
