We are accepting GIFT CARDS of $25 or more and, toys for boys or girls 0-4 years old, 5-12 years old, and 13-17 years old. For adults toiletries or gift cards as Christmas gifts. These can be for drug or food stores, Visa, Master, Amazon, Target, etc., etc. or even Metrocards.
Please place gift cards in box near Giving Tree, in main church lobby. Thank you again this year for your kindness. Please return gift cards no later than today Sunday, December 22nd.

RECTORY RESTORATION
Our Rectory, which was built in 1926, will be receiving a serious make - over to its entire exterior (roof, lintels, windows and brick pointing etc.) The estimated cost is $750,000.
I will be funded with our reserves and investments. However, I ask you to be mindful of this when contributing in our weekly collection.

ON - LINE GIVING
Thanks to all who make their offering from week to week in an on - line fashion. Information on how to get started on this consistent gift withdrawn from a ban k account or deducted from a major credit card can be found in our bulletin.

FIRST FRIDAYS
Friday, December 6th, and every month on the first Friday of the month, we will pray a "Holy Hour" after the 8 am Mass (in English) and at 7 pm (in Spanish). Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction will be part of the Holy Hour. Join us to worship and adore the Lord!

NEW DONATION ENVELOPES
All “registered and contributing” parishioners are invited to pick up a year’s worth of envelopes in a boxed set. The box contains all the envelopes one will need from Jan. 2025 to January 2026, including Special Diocesan collections and holy days. The boxed envelopes are distributed beginning November 30h and December 1st, after Masses.
