CSF Alumni Newsletter: December 2025
December 22nd, 2025
On this holy day, we give thanks for the light of Christ entering our world and for you, whose generosity brings that same light into the lives of students and families across the Archdiocese of Boston.
Because of your kindness, thousands of children are learning, growing, and thriving in schools where faith is at the center of every day. Your support brings hope, stability, and opportunity to families who need it most. Today, and throughout the year, you reflect the true spirit of Christmas: love, compassion, and the gift of Christ’s presence.
From all of us at the Catholic Schools Foundation, we wish you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas filled with peace, joy, and grace.
Merry Christmas from all of us at CSF!
Meet the Artist Behind This Year’s CSF Christmas Card
This year’s CSF Christmas card is brought to life by one of our CSF scholars, Nicole Guzman-DeFusco, a talented junior at Central Catholic High School and the school’s November Artist of the Month. Known for her vivid colors, textured materials, and nostalgic themes, Nicole creates artwork that evokes emotion and connection, an intention rooted in her Catholic school journey and deep sense of community.
Supported through CSF’s pilot program, Nicole has flourished academically and artistically, exploring themes of girlhood, faith, and identity in her AP Art portfolio. Nicole is especially excited to design CSF’s 2025 Christmas card. Her story is a powerful reflection of how opportunity and community help scholars grow, thrive, and share their gifts with the world.

Celebrating the Christmas Season Together at the CSF YL/ YA Christmas Party

Twenty-one attendees joined in the festivities, enjoying great food and drinks while making a meaningful impact by donating canned and non-perishable goods to support a CSF partner school this holiday season. It was a wonderful evening of connection, generosity, and new friendships.
