BOXING DAY - 2007

Definition: English custom of giving Christmas boxes containing food or money to family servants and suppliers. Celebrated in Great Britain, Commonwealths of Great Britain and Canada on December 26.







Yesterday the annual Boxing Day Fair was held here on the grounds of St. Mary's. Over the past two years we've tried to re-work the day into a day for children and their families.









Thanks to our benefactors back in the states: Curley High School (Baltimore, MD), St. Louis Parish (Batesville, IN), St. Catherine Parish (Spring Lake, NJ), the Heine Family, the Bertanzetti Family, Father Kolbe School and St Casimir Parish (Baltimore, MD) and many others... the prize selection was fantatstic and no child went home empty handed.






The day featured: the Bounce-About, Basket-Ball-Toss, Hoop La, Grab Bags, Field of Fortune... the DJ... fried and jerk chicken, beverages and ice cream.
