The students, faculty and staff of Saint Patrick High School participated in the annual “Adopt-A-Kid” Christmas Program. The Saint Patrick family “adopted” 125 children by purchasing two gifts, one practical (clothing, hat, gloves) and one impractical (toy/game), for each child.

The Adopt-A-Kid Christmas Program, which started with only 10 students taking care of 24 foster children, is now in its 14th year. On Friday, December 9th, at Guerin Prep High School, the Adopt-A-Kid Christmas Program will be gathering 10,000 Christmas presents or more from close to 60 schools (grammar schools, high school and colleges), community groups, and church youth groups within the Chicagoland area.
