Mount Carmel Academy homerooms, clubs, teams, and organizations — reaching 100% participation — donated 139 boxes filled with toys and little gifts for the Cross Catholic Box of Joy program, a nationwide Christmas gift outreach. By packing “Boxes of Joy,” students will bless children living in developing countries by sharing the joy of Christmas and demonstrating Christ’s love and compassion. 

Box of Joy provides schools, parishes, and organizations the opportunity to send gifts to Haiti, Guatemala, and other developing countries. These boxes may be the only Christmas gift these children receive.
