Sisters of St. Joseph Week of Service

Nine volunteers concluded the Sisters of St. Joseph Week of Service by assisting residents at L’Arche Wavecrest in Orange. The weeklong event, organized by the St. Joseph Justice Center from Sept. 19 to 26, included a project where volunteers helped create decorations for the upcoming St. Joseph’s Christmas festival.

Damaris Molena-Morales, the program coordinator for the St. Joseph Justice Center, said the service focused on connecting with adults with intellectual disabilities through listening and presence. The decorations produced by the volunteers will be used during a Christmas market and music festival that raises funds for children at CHOC Children’s Hospital. L’Arche Wavecrest also hosts an annual Festival of Lights.
