CrossWalk Ministry is a dynamic service-based youth ministry program designed
for all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade youth.
Students meet once a month to discuss how they may reach out to the needy among us and perform the corporal and spiritual works of mercy by participating in service projects.

Service Projects
Write to the elderly. We have a list of elderly from Holy Family who would love to receive a letter or card. Also there is The Californian where there are 35 residents who would love to receive a letter/card. Please parents could you drop off the letters or mail the letters to the Church (Note for Sally Cunningham)
Here are some of the guidelines: NO Glitter, not illegible, or too short.
1. Letters must be legible (large print) and handwritten. No worries if you’re not artistic– make your card as what you’d like to receive.
2. Address the letter to Dear Special Friend, I am sending you my love and prayers during this time, Love from 1st name only.
3. Exclude the date.
4. Embrace creativity! Recipients love it when the letters are personal. We encourage you to make your letters colorful and fun– photos, crosswords, and drawings are great!
5. Be kind & thoughtful. This is a one-way letter exchange, so you will not receive a letter back. Receiving nothing in return is part of the beauty of your act of kindness, and recipients aren’t burdened by feeling obligated or unable to respond.
6. Envelope your letters if you can! It’s so much nicer to receive an enveloped card. If you’re sending more than 1 letter, leave your enveloped letters unsealed and unstamped and send them in a larger envelope.. I will forward all the letters in a large envelope.
