Coats For Kids Project

 

With the conclusion of this year’s Coats for Kids project, the Holy Family Council 10019 membership, wish to thank all parishioners who donated coats, money or their time and labor. Your efforts contributed to make this project a great success. Over one hundred twenty five children and young teens are now just a bit warmer when they go outdoors to play. Back in September, the council sponsored a drive-thru spaghetti supper which raised over $2300. With your wonderful support, we were able to purchase one hundred twenty five coats. We then distributed, with the aid of the Dominican Sisters, Loaves & Fishes organization forty coats and hats. We brought another forty coats and hats to the Robert Connor Elementary School in Lewiston, the remaining forty five coats and hats were given to the St. Dominic Academy Key Club, for their distribution thru their Adopt Families for Christmas program. We want to especially thank the ladies that donated their time and talent by knitting very beautiful colorful hats and mittens of various sizes, which were given out with the coats. The kids loved them, their smiles told the story. Thank you, your rewards will be great in Heaven.

Fr. Daniel's Letter to the Parishioners

  Dear Parishioners,   As we approach the holy celebration of the Nativity of our Lord, Jesus Christ, many of us will be experiencing it in a very different way.   Certainly, the crowds of people who come to the Sacred Mass will not happen this year due to the limited number allowed.   However, we are hoping that the reception of Holy Communion during the scheduled hours will help connect many people to Christ’s presence in the Blessed Sacrament.   For those who are not comfortable staying for the period of time inside the building, we invite you to come with your whole family, say a prayer in the Church and prepare for Holy Communion, receive Communion and pray a prayer of Thanksgiving and return home.   This would only take a few minutes and you will have marked the Holy Night and Day with a Sacred Action.   Please let me know if you have any questions about the process as you consult the times and places where Holy Communion will be distributed. ...
