Christmas Cards for Shut-Ins

In my efforts to help children to use technology to better serve others, this week each class will be making Christmas cards for members of St. Paul Parish who are shut-ins, unable to attend Mass regularly because of age or illness.  All students, K-8 will make Christmas cards to give love and encouragement to a lonely and isolated member of the St. Paul community.

Are there any people you or your family know that could use some encouragement or holiday cheer?  Perhaps an elderly neighbor or a service man or woman stationed far away from home?  Send them a card!  Drop by and visit!  Call and sing them a Christmas carol!  As Aesop, the Greek fable author who lived in 620-560 BC, wrote, "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."
