Dear Parishioners,
We are reaching out with an urgent plea for your support in making this Christmas Day special for those in need. Our annual POTS Christmas Day Luncheon in the Bronx is quickly approaching, and we are facing a shortage of food donations and volunteers.
We are extremely short in every donation category:
Boxed Mashed Potatoes
Boxed stuffing
cases of bottled apple juice
Canned corn
Pies
cases of water
We are also EXTREMELY short volunteers in ALL categories!
Please consider donating food or volunteering your time to make this holiday season brighter for those less fortunate. Your generosity will make a significant difference in the lives of many.

TODAYS GOSPEL
Luke 1:39-45
Mary paid a visit to Elizabeth, whose baby stirred in her womb upon hearing Mary's greeting. Elizabeth filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb." Elizabeth was deeply overjoyed that the words God had spoken to Mary had now been fulfilled.
HELP CATHOLICS COME HOME
Do you know someone who was baptized Catholic but has stopped attending Mass, is questioning the faith, or hasn’t found a parish home? Why not help your friend to come home? Perhaps you can act as a resource or offer to attend Mass together. If you aren’t sure how to help, ask our priests for advice.
PLEASE PATRONIZE
