Hope's first taste of sharing with children less fortunate than herself - she is the picture of the joy of giving.

This is only a portion of the gifts that were gathered thanks to the generosity of the OLPH Community.

From the church vestibule, the gifts are transported to Maguire Hall to be sorted by age and gender.

Sister Alice Ruane (pictured) is only one of many helping hands that prepare the gifts for pickup by charitable organizations.

Sister Marion Grace, (declined photo) OLPH School Principal, contacts worthy charities and organizes the pickup times.

It's a lot of work, and a true labor of love.

Thank You Men of OLPH and Thank You to the Sisters of OLPH Convent, who spend many hours sorting, and sometimes delivering, to the needy.
