Each year, St. Kilian’s proudly supports the Christmas Shoebox Appeal in partnership with Team Hope Ireland, an international child-focused charity dedicated to helping vulnerable children overseas. Everyone who wishes to participate can donate a shoebox packed with WASH items (e.g. toothbrush), WRITE items (e.g. colouring pencils), WEAR items (e.g. gloves) and WOW items (e.g. small gifts/sweets). To help cover the cost of transporting the shoeboxes to children in need, Team Hope kindly asks for a €5 donation, which can be included inside the box or given online.
Please drop off your wrapped shoebox at the Assembly Area in the Primary School or on the table by the Secretary’s Office/reception in the Secondary School. The Closing Date is Monday, November 10th 2025, after which TEAM HOPE will collect the boxes.
A big thank you for your generous support and a special thanks to the Primary School Student Council and the Secondary School Charity Club for organizing this wonderful initiative. Every box brings hope and happiness to a child affected by poverty. Let’s help spread some cheers, hope and joy this Christmas together!
