St. Raphael’s Second Super Service

Those of you who are regular readers of our blog may remember last week when we told you about some fantastic service projects and donations done for the sake of the needy seniors and children we serve by St. Raphael Church of Naperville. Well, as it would turn out, the generous parishioners at St. Raphael were not done wowing us at HSP, because earlier this week, they made another fantastic donation. We would like to thank St. Raphael for running a toy drive and donating many marvelous, new toys for the needy children in our Children’s Birthday Project.  When you keep in mind that, just last week St. Raphael graced us with their spirit of giving by wrapping Children’s Birthday Project gifts and putting together several personal Care Kits (full of items like lotions, conditioner, shower gel, soap, and shampoo) for the Senior Citizen Project, everyone at St. Raphael sure has been busy recently.

The new toys were dropped off at HSP’s Center on Monday by St. Raphael member, Margaret Huck, whose minivan was completely stuffed with unique and fun gifts like large teddy bears, miniature bowling sets, games, big wheels, and even guitars! The kind heartedness of St. Raphael will most certainly bring countless memories to the kids who receive these wonderful gifts. Again, we wish to thank everyone at St. Raphael for there continued thoughtfulness!
