From the archives – Christmas toy drive
Mount Carmel Guild volunteers arrange dolls in the Guild’s annual toy display, c. 1939. The toys collected by Mount Carmel Guild each Christmas season would be blessed by the Archbishop before being distributed to needy families. (Archdiocese of Newark Archives, Photograph collection)
