ADVENT SEASON
Welcome to the Advent
season and all the preparations that we will be involved in for the celebration
of Christmas. Let us not forget the true meaning of the day and make sure we
spare a thought for the Christ child and the tremendous influence he has had on
our Christian world.
Welcome too to the Holy
Cross College Christmas Appeal. It is another time of the year where we put
our efforts into raising
the profile of the St Vincent de Paul Society which Frederic Ozanam founded. For
this appeal this year each House Tutor Group (HTG) has been given the profile
of a typical household that the Society caters for at Christmas time. Each
family will receive the description of this household and are asked, along with
the rest of the HTG to assemble a hamper for the household for Christmas. Ideas
for the hamper are found below.
We will once again have the
Christmas Tree of Giving in the College Office with tags for each of the
individuals found within the HTG profiles. Please consider taking one of these
tags and buying something for one of these individuals. Please do not wrap the presents but place them
in a plastic bag. The Society must check all parcels and will then wrap them
for the individual concerned.
Many thanks for your
cooperation and we will keep you informed as to how the Appeal is going over
the next two weeks.
Mr Harry Muller
