Feast of St. Nicholas

On Dec. 6, the Feast of St. Nicholas we celebrated the faithfulness and generosity the real Bishop Nicholas of Myra. Nicholas was a saint known as the Wonderworker for the many miracles of love God granted through his intercession for the poor and young children.


He became a model for the legend of Santa Claus and the joy of gift-giving during Christmas. In honor of this Feast Day, the Make A Wish Club worked with the BCD's (Benedictone's Cor Defenders) to invite all the students to write letters to Santa. In exchange for their kindness, they received a candy cane and a gift of one homework pass from their teachers!

The letters will be dropped off at Macy's who will donate $1. to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for each letter they receive. Make-A-Wish Foundation provides dreams come true for children with terminal illnesses.

Stop by Macy's in your shopping travels and write a letter to Santa to help the little children. Together, we can "deliver happiness, one nudge of kindness at a time".
