The Holy Cross Mothers’ Guild supports the spiritual mission of Notre Dame High School by assist various programs and events throughout the school year, especially for the retreat program. The guild chose to touch the lives of children in the inner-city at Christmas. Nativity Catholic School, located in the Vermont District of South-Central Los Angeles, is the recipient of their love and thoughtfulness.

Each student TK-8th grade received a toy, books, art supplies, gift card and more. A parent alumni representative of the guild, Karen Mott, joined Santa and many volunteers visiting each classroom handing out bags, upon bags of presents. “The smiles on the children’s faces are priceless,” says Principal Teresa Reynoso-Gonzalez. “We are truly blessed and grateful to the Holy Cross Mothers’ Guild at Notre Dame, its students and families for their giving hearts.”

The generosity of spirit comes naturally to Notre Dame High School whose mission is carried out in all they do by educating the hearts and minds of students.
