While our youngsters were home sharing the holiday with their families, special gifts were wrapped and placed under the trees in each of our campus homes.

On January 11, we celebrated Christmas as one big St. Joseph’s family!

Though our Christmas celebration falls a bit later than most, there is no less enthusiasm when the time finally arrives!

The gifts provided by caring friends, like you, are often the only presents our Native American students receive, which makes our annual Christmas celebration even more special. As we strive to give the children a “normal” life, this is one of many simple blessings your generosity provides.

Pilamaya — thank you — for making the Lakota children’s Christmas so special!
