Saint Joseph Health System and South Bend Parks and Recreation held the 13th Annual Senior Christmas Party on Tuesday.

The party happened at the Martin Luther King Center on Linden Avenue in South Bend.

"We do this because it is important for them to enjoy Christmas, because sometimes they may not be able to get out of the house during Christmas time, because of the snow, family lives far away. It is important for them to come out in fellowship and know that people still care about them," said Andrea Wright, the Community Nurse and Coordinator for St. Joseph Health System.
