Education in Faith

This Christmas period, we are thrilled to support Father Bob’s Christmas Toy Drive, alongside collecting non-perishable food for the kitchen at St. Peter and Paul’s. These efforts aim to bring joy and provide nourishment to families and individuals in need throughout our community.

How You Can Help:

• Toy Donations: You may like to donate new, unwrapped toys for children aged 0-16 years to Father Bob’s Christmas Toy Drive.
• Tin Food Donations: You may like to contribute non-perishable food items such as canned vegetables, beans, soup, pasta sauce, and other staples to support the kitchen at St. Peter and Paul’s.

Each classroom will have a hamper where students can place their donations, and our Social Justice Leaders will sort these gifts. Please bring your donations by Monday, 9th December.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness. By supporting these initiatives, you’re helping bring Christmas cheer and essential support to those who need it most.
