Loyola Santa Shop

Date: This Event Has Passed For 2025 - 2026.

Time: 9:00am -12:00pm

Location: Loyola Academy

Attendees: SLUH Parents

Purpose: The Janet Knobbe Viox Loyola Santa Shop is a wonderful Mothers Club tradition held each December. This event brings holiday cheer to the young residents of Loyola Academy, allowing them to shop for gifts for their families donated by the SLUH community. Mothers Club volunteers help transform the space into a festive shop, assist the students with gift selection, and wrap presents to take home. It’s a joyful, hands-on way to serve others and spread Christmas spirit in our Jesuit community. 

Experience the joy of giving this holiday season by volunteering at the Loyola Santa Shop! The first Friday in December, Loyola Academy (near SLU’s campus) transforms into a magical holiday shopping experience for 4th-8th grade boys that attend the school.  We invite the SLUH community to donate new (or like new) gifts, create bows, wrap presents, sort donations, set up, and volunteer on the event day. During the event, the boys are paired with a SLUH mom to select and wrap gifts for their loved ones. Seeing the joy on these boys' faces as they experience the thrill of giving is such an amazing experience!  Hope you all will consider donating or volunteering to make this event a success!
