Our Mission

The Milwaukee Chapter of the Christ Child Society shall be a non-profit Catholic organization of volunteers, embracing members of all faiths, dedicated to expressing their love of the Christ Child by service to all God’s children.

The Chapter welcomes members of all denominations whose interests focus primarily on following the child by clothing the newborn, providing parental support, tutorial and scholarship assistance and other pertinent involvements necessary in nurturing the youth of the Greater Metropolitan Milwaukee Area.  These commitments, which enhance human dignity, reflect the goals and principles of Mary Virginia Merrick, founder of the Christ Child Society.  The Chapter shall provide members an opportunity for individual growth through interaction with the community and each other.

Christ Child Prayer

Remember in the sacrifice of Your own and only Child, all children everywhere throughout the world, and grant that, like Your Son, as they increase in years, they may grow in grace and wisdom before You, and in the sight of all, for the improvement and saving of the world. Jesus, friend of little children, bless the little children of the world.

Amen.

“The Christ Child Society is special to me because of two words: volunteer and child. I am proud that we continue to be an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that dedicates its resources to help better the lives of children in need.

Julie S., member since 1992

“Becoming a Christ Child Society member has allowed me to help the children in our community, and to do it from my home at my convenience. I am so happy with my involvement that I am looking to share my story with other women.”

Mary B., member since 2009

“My involvement in Christ Child Society allows me to help children know that love and caring exist while forming a bond with women who share those beliefs. We know that the Christ Child is always there to lift us up in this mission.”

Lois J., member since 1986
