Aquin's Canned Food Drive ends Monday!
Help us help those who are going hungry!
Monday is the last day for the Aquin High School Canned Food Drive which fills the shelves of FACC. We hold a class competition for the 'Most Pounds Donated' by grades 7-12. If you are interested in donating with credit going to a certain class, please contact a class member directly. Or, bring your donation to the office labelled with the grade to which the donation should be credited. If you have any questions, please contact Connie at 815-235-3154 x 230.
Donations must be at school by 2:30pm on Monday to count toward a class total!
Aquin's Toy Drive starts Monday!
It is not necessary to buy expensive gifts. If you have $20 to spend, it would be better to buy 4 smaller gifts to help make sure that all children have a gift to open.
Drop your donations at either campus and we'll be sure to get them in Santa's bag!

Boxes of Joy On Their Way!
From Cross Catholic Outreach about 'Box of Joy':
"At Christmas, we experience the joy of our Lord Jesus Christ. Gift giving is a wonderful, meaningful part of that experience. Unfortunately, severe poverty deprives many children in developing countries of this joy. Their parents are too poor to provide even one simple Christmas present.
Through Cross Catholic Outreach’s Box of Joy program, you can ensure these children are not deprived of Christmas blessings this year. By packing a Christmas gift box and sponsoring the cost of its shipment, you can deliver a Box of Joy to a child overseas who would otherwise receive nothing."
