Freshman theology students at Rochester’s Aquinas Institute recently purchased and wrapped 163 gifts to be distributed to 130 Adult Day Services participants from St. Ann’s Community. During a Dec. 9 ceremony, seven St. Ann’s clients visited Aquinas to meet with the students and receive a few of the gifts.
