Please use an envelope from home and mark “Christmas Flowers” on it. The names of those memorialized and the donor will be published in the bulletin.

FOOD PANTRY NEEDS
During these difficult times we are asking you to donate any can or dry food that will be given out to those in need in our Food Pantry. We are getting more people than we expected, and want to help them whenever we can. You can donate your food item as you enter church in the baskets provided or drop off your donation at the Rectory. Monetary donations can be dropped off at the Rectory. Thank you all and God bless.

ADVERTISING AD SPONSORS ARE NEEDED FOR OUR NEW BULLETIN!
This month we are appealing to local businesses and neighboring faithful to sponsor ad space in our bulletin. This weekly bulletin is a main source of communication for registered families, and an important touchpoint for visitors to our parish. We are currently in need of businesses who are looking to advertise locally and build awareness. As an advertiser, your business will be seen as a trusted source in the community. You can count on the support from our parish leadership team and fellow parishioner families and friends. Even if you don’t own a business, you can still sponsor a space for a charitable cause, to honor a memory, ask for prayers, or purchase as a gift for a friend to support their new or existing business.

We would like to thank our current and renewing advertisers for their support of our parish and hope that you consider selecting goods and services advertised in this bulletin. For those interested in placing a new ad, please contact the parish office or call Robin Ungaro with LPi (our bulletin publisher) directly at 203-747-5671.
