The Season of Wonder supports Catholic Charities’ Family Services division. Generous donations from our community not only give children in residential care at St. Vincent’s Villa something special to open on Christmas, but also support their needs throughout the year and help bring stability to families involved in trauma treatment.

Children receive intensive treatment at St. Vincent’s Villa to stabilize and restore them to their community, as soon as possible. We serve children between the ages of 5 and 14, but most residents are males over 10 years old. Since many of the youngsters spend their holidays at St. Vincent’s Villa, sponsor gifts make Christmas memorable.

Each child makes a wish list, which additionally includes some of their basic needs. So many of the challenges our children face can be addressed through caring acts such as participation in the Season of Wonder.
