Despite COVID and snowstorm, Christmas still came for kids
Residents of St. Edmond’s Home for Children, an archdiocesan care facility in Rosemont, recently celebrated an early Christmas with gifts from the annual Archbishop’s Benefit for Children. Due to COVID and a major snowstorm, the normally lavish party, now in its 65th year, had to be scaled back to several smaller gatherings. (Jessica Fisher/St. Edmond’s Home for Children)
