Christmas Spirit Overflowing at Providence Catholic HS

From Providence Catholic High School:

The Christmas Spirit has been radiating from Providence Catholic High School.

Members of the school community celebrated the birth of Christ by giving to those in need. In early December, the Men’s Club held their annual Toys for Tots drive that provided more than 100 new toys for local children.

During the first two weeks of December, the Augustinian Youth Ministry collected over$2,500 in gift cards that will be distributed to sick teens by the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation.

In addition, members of the Student Augustinian Values Institute  and other student volunteers support “Sandwich Patrol” by preparing 200 sandwiches and other lunch items on a monthly basis that are delivered to the local Morning Star Mission.

The school’s Pastoral Department coordinated a shopping night with Catholic Charities for several families from the surrounding area. Members of SAVI helped the families shop for Christmas presents with funds that were donated through the school’s mission collections.

The Providence Catholic Bands and Choirs performed for the school and local communities at their annual Christmas Concert. Several hundred guests attended the performance and enjoyed the sounds of the season. The final medley included traditional favorites to which everyone sang along.

The choirs also brought joy to grade school students when they went Christmas caroling at several local schools.

The annual all-school Advent Mass took place prior to Christmas break and was attended by more than 200 alumni. Following Mass, members of the Providence Catholic faculty and staff sang Christmas favorites with alumni and students.
