Catholic Social Services hosted its 69th annual Archbishop’s Benefit for Children Christmas Party Dec. 18 for more than 500 children and youth. These children represent thousands of young people across the Greater Philadelphia region who benefit annually from community-based and residential programs offered by the agency.
Children enjoyed a festive afternoon alongside Archbishop Pérez filled with a live Nativity scene, student performances, sing-a-longs, snacks, a visit from Santa, and more. Student volunteers from Archdiocesan and private Catholic High Schools served as Santa’s helpers. This year’s theme was “The Archbishop’s Christmas Jam.” (Photos by Sarah Webb)
