# Shoe Box Appeal

   2 November 2020

Each Year, we support the Shoebox Appeal. We donate to this via wrapping and packing shoeboxes to send internationally to those who may not have a present this Christmas. We come together to support this initiative as a school community and truly seek to live out Matthew 25:40 : "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' The Shoebox appeal is our way of fulfilling our school mission of “Giving Glory to God by serving others”.

This year it is in memory of Colm Smyth, his passion and joy for giving to others and how much he cared for this and the school.

*“A true Irish gentleman who would stop and talk to friend and stranger, treating everyone as equal and would go out of his way for those in greater need. His infectious personality would lift the mood of any on the darkest day. A hardworking man, strong religious faith and in touch with reality.”*

Donations for the shoebox appeal can be brought in from the 28th September until the 16th November. Thank you for the support with the Shoebox Appeal.
