“Your presence is a precious gift to us.”
Those heartfelt words from the residents of Cottonwood Manor Assisted Living beautifully captured the impact of a recent visit from students of Holy Family Catholic School.
In the spirit of the Christmas season, members of the Holy Family Leadership Club partnered with students across all grades to create handmade Christmas cards for the residents of Cottonwood Manor. Once completed, the Leadership Club personally delivered the cards, turning a simple project into a meaningful encounter for students and residents alike.
During their visit, students had the opportunity to spend time with residents sharing smiles, conversation, and genuine connection. The visit concluded with students and residents joining together to sing familiar Christmas tunes, filling the space with warmth, joy, and the sounds of the season.
Through this experience, our students lived out Christ’s call to reach out to those in need. They learned that even small acts like a homemade card or a short visit can make a profound difference in the life of someone who may be feeling lonely, particularly during the Christmas season. It was a powerful reminder that presence, kindness, and compassion are some of the greatest gifts we can share.
We are grateful to our Leadership Club, our students, and the residents of Cottonwood Manor for making this visit such a meaningful celebration of faith, service, and community during the Christmas season.
