Spirit of Santa

We are so very proud to be partnering with The Ronald McDonald House to raise money to benefit this wonderful organization which helps children with cancer keep their families by their side.

This week we are excited to share the St. Joseph's Musical Christmas Card with the residents of Mary Manning Walsh nursing home on the Upper East Side.

A special thank you to Deirdre Stones, who compiled the beautiful montage of the SJSY families lighting their Christmas Trees.  It was a perfect kickoff for the Spirit of Santa week.

We ask that children prepare a card for their teacher(s) with a Christmas blessing and present it on this day.

On Tuesday, December 22, in the Spirit of Santa, we will be celebrating The Gift of Friendship.

There are ten 2020 SJSY Christmas ornaments left!

On Monday, December 21, in the Spirit of Santa, we will be celebrating The Gift of Family with our children. The children will be making a small gift in school to be given to a loved one at Christmas.

A virtual musical Christmas card from the children of St. Joseph’s will be presented to local Catholic nursing homes to be shared with their residents.
