Once again this year St Joseph's will be taking part in the Road of Hope Shoebox appeal. Road of Hope is a cross community charity that donates gift filled Christmas Shoeboxes to the desperately underprivileged in Eastern Europe. Last year, thanks to your generosity, we donated approximately 180 shoeboxes to the charity.
