This week’s “Pastor’s Column” is a special thank you from our Helping Hands Ministry & our Giving Tree Team for your help & generosity in the Advent & Christmas season...

   The Giving Tree collected many useful items for the men of the Jack Mulhall Center. The most popular donations included socks, t-shirts, hats, Fixodent, and razors. The paper products and cleaning solutions were the most greatly appreciated at this time of year. All donations help to keep the Mulhall Center operating successfully and are greatly appreciated. Thanks to all that helped make it possible this year.

   The Helping Hands Ministry also delivered Christmas baskets to our firefighters on Rocky River Drive and to our police force on West 130th Street. The baskets were filled with fruits, cheeses, meats, and other varieties of snacking items. The baskets were accepted with great thanks and happiness. Thank you to our Parish for your generosity to the Helping Hands program. God bless everyone who helped make this possible!
