Children’s Halloween Party in Saint Joseph Villa Brings Candy and Smiles

There were lots of doors to knock and lots of candy to collect for trick-or-treaters visiting Saint Joseph Villa at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2019. Each of the Ursuline Sisters in the Villa had a different type of candy to hand out from the doorways of their rooms. Nine children and grandchildren of Mount Saint Joseph staff dressed up in costumes to go door to door. Afterwards, the children enjoyed snacks and played games in the Rainbow Room. Here are photos from the event.
