Our Blood Drive on 3/20/21 was a great success! Not only did we have 53 donors, but we wound up with a new high of 44 pints donated! Our Brothers turned out in force, with 17 Knights donating that day, as well as the Ladies Auxiliary. As you know, the need is even greater during this Pandemic, so the Knights especially appreciate your donation this year. Look for our next blood drive in the fall! May God Bless you all! Bill Mazzio There are many ways you can help, but most importantly we hope you come out to donate.

Brothers   I would like to thank all of you who volunteered to hand out Poinsettias this weekend. We had over 40 volunteers at the masses and it was such a feel good moment for all.   The flowers were so well received by our parishioners and it was so enjoyable seeing the smiles on their faces as we handed them the flowers and a Holy family holy card.   This was a very difficult year, but our parish has been so generous to all of our causes and this was our way of saying Thank you!   I would like to thank Rick Feighery for putting the delivery together so quickly and overseeing the event.   Have a wonderful advent week! Yours in Christ Bill Mazzio

Restoring Our Religious Freedom 17th Annual Patriotic Prayer Service July 5, 2020. This morning, the American flag, flown for the past year in honor of Rich Szymborski. He will be remembered always as an untiring servant of the Lord, his Faith, family, and friends. This morning, a new American flag, flown over the Capitol of the United States, is raised in memory of Sir Knight Carl W. Kaufman, our Brother Knight. Carl used his Faith to preserve our Religious and Civil Liberties. He is the Founder of this annual Patriotic Prayer Service, and through his singular commitment, incorporated the Prayer for Religious Liberty we offer in our everyday Mass. He will also be remembered always as an untiring servant of the Lord, his Faith, family, and friends. We must never end our prayers to God asking for his help in our efforts to preserve our Freedoms and to be delivered from evil.
