Sign your name and telephone number on the pad at Church next to the corresponding gift number. Gifts are due by December 15h. Please be aware that this is only two weeks since Thanksgiving is so late this year. Please attach the gift tag securely to the OUTSIDE of your package.

DONATIONS & TRICKY TRAY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Our 3rd Annual Tricky Tray will be held on
April 1, 2020.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far but we have quite a way to go. We need donations of gift cards, new items for baskets and monetary donations to make this event a success and raise much needed funds to keep our parish viable. If every parishioner can help this event with even a small donation, we can raise that much more money. Our next meeting is Monday, December 9th at 7 pm in the church basement. Everyone is invited to join us! Donations can be dropped off at the rectory any weekday from 9am to 3pm or call Lori Marini at 201-329-9058.

DO YOU HAVE GENTLY USED CHILDREN'S BOOKS THAT YOUR CHILDREN HAVE OUTGROWN AND
DON'T READ ANYMORE??
South Hackensack Memorial School's library would love to put them to good use by adding them to their collection. If you have kid's books that are in good shape and are current, you can put them in the box in the back of church and we will make sure other children get the chance to enjoy them!

HOLY DAY MIDDAY MASS
Beginning with All Saints Day, Friday November 1st, the midday mass for Holy Days of Obligation will change from 12 Noon to 12:15 pm. This was suggested by several people so as to give those who start their lunch hour at 12 to be on time for mass. The new schedule of masses for Holy Days will be 8:30 am, 12:15 pm & 7 pm.

Discover the Joy of being a Hospice Volunteer
If you have a warm heart, a listening ear, and the gift of compassion, you can make a difference in the life of a hospice patient or family member. VNA Health Group is inviting individuals interested in becoming hospice volunteers to join our team in Bergen County. There are many rewards and opportunities available to hospice volunteers though home visitation, companionship, administrative support, or any complimentary therapies. We are also seeking volunteers interested in providing support calls to our patients and family members from our offices in Englewood. Training will be provided by members of the Hospice team. Please call Ruth Sorbanelli at 201-510-6426 or email your contact information: ruth.sorbanelli@vnahg.org.

ARE YOU A NEW PARISHIONER??
If you are, please stop by the usher’s table after Mass and they will give you a registration card to fill out and return. Please indicate on the card whether you would like contribution envelopes so that you can receive a tax statement at the end of the year. Thank you.

OUR MINISTRIES NEED YOUR HELP!!

EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS URGENTLY NEEDED!!!
We have had quite a few Eucharistic Ministers leave this ministry recently due to a variety of reasons – moving, health issues, etc. So if anyone could help our parish by serving in this very important ministry please see Fr. Michael or call Sue at the rectory. It only takes a few minutes to learn the procedure and you can begin right away. Please pray that we receive more volunteers to help our parish.

We are looking for Ministers of Hospitality (ushers), Ministers of the Word lectors and Eucharistic Ministers. We also need volunteers for the Environmental Committee which is responsible for decorating our church for Easter, Christmas and other occasions. Our Tricky Tray committee also needs volunteers. Please consider donating your stewardship of time to these very important ministries.

PRAY THE ROSARY

ALTAR GIFTS are a beautiful way to honor your loved ones while also helping our parish. There are some two week blocks still available in 2019. Please contact the rectory if you are interested.

WE NEED BULLETIN ADVERTISERS!!
We would like to thank all the advertisers who have supported us throughout the past year. Our parish benefits greatly from the ads you see in the bulletin. The revenue pays for the printing which is an important means of communication for the parish. If we do not have enough advertisers, the cost of our bulletin goes up. We thank the local businesses that advertise with us especially in these tough economic times. We have some spaces on the back of our bulletin that need filling so if you would like to advertise your business as well as benefit your church, please contact Mike Seppe our advertising rep at 201-724-2804.

*****PLEASE LOCK THE SIDE DOOR!!
If you use the combination to enter the church (other than mass times) please lock the door when you leave. You can either lock the knob on the inside or you can push the button on the outside that has a picture of a lock on it.
