Shoebox Appeal 2026
We are once again launching our annual Shoebox Appeal. The shoebox campaign delivers gifts to children affected by poverty in Eastern Europe and Africa. Often these shoebox gifts are the only gift that a child will receive at Christmas. Over the past 10 years our parish has packed over 6.000 Shoeboxes that were delivered to vulnerable Children. This year are we will again be working with TEAM HOPE.
TEAM HOPE is an Irish, Christian development aid charity, working with children, their families and communities across Eastern Europe and Africa (www.teamhope.ie). They will ensure that our boxes delivered straight into the hands of a child in need, irrespective of their race, religion, ethnicity or background. The only criteria for receiving a shoebox is the need of the child .
You can contribute to the good cause by either packing your own box (empty boxes and instructions are available at the back of the church during the month of October) or by by making a donation to sponsor a box that has been pre-packed by our team.
There are two ways you can help:
- Pack your own shoebox with carefully chosen gifts and treats for a child.
- Make a donation to sponsor a shoebox. Your contribution will help our dedicated group of parishioners prepare boxes filled with care, love and a little Christmas magic.
Every shoebox is more than just a gift – it is a personal message of kindness and a moment of unforgettable joy for a child who may have very little.
The cost of a prepaid shoebox is €36.
Pay via Wero or bank transfer to / LU040 0019 3600 0364 40000 (Name: Foley-Rohen Michele)

The deadline is the 8th of November 2026.
