Your donations will enable many children to have a great start to the new school year. MISSION TRIP EXPLORATORY MEETING- Interested in going on a week long Mission Trip??? We are considering organizing a trip with Holy Name volunteers to Kingston, Jamaica, to work with Father Richard Ho Lung and his Missionaries of the Poor. We would go for a week, either in the winter or spring. Working with homeless, sick, disabled and/or dying men, women, and children. Cost per person would be the cost of airfare (approx 400-600) plus 200 to cover meals for a week. Jim Collins, a parishioner who has volunteered with Father Richard in Jamaica several times, will be giving an overview of a typical week and answering questions. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 3rd, from 7-9 PM in the Father Dave Library. Park in the back and enter through the back door. All parishioners who think they might be interested, please come!!! Please call or email Maureen McLoughlin at 946-9334, MMCL16@optonline.net if you plan on attending, or have any questions or concerns. This is just an exploratory meeting, no commitment needed just yet. It could be week that could change your life! (You can check out Father Richard and the Missionaries of the Poor online– utube videos). FYI: Through our Regular Church Collections, Second Collections and donations from our generous Parishioners, Holy Name was able to install, plant and paint: The gym windows and the upstairs school windows are being replaced with tempered glass windows and energy saving glass. Due to corroding and burrowing bees the soffits under the two Church overhangs and the gym entry will be replaced with vinyl and azac is replacing the trim. Plants that died due to the harsh winter were replaced at no cost and additional plants were done. A new fire alarm system has been installed and we are in the process of installing 15 cameras in the Church and around the property. The fence between Holy Name and the dam is being repaired and removing all the overgrown shrub on the fence. The sacristy has been painted. As always call or visit the rectory for any more info!!! |
