GIVE THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS LOCALLY

UPDATE: ANOTHER FAMILY HAS ADDED $1,000 TO THE MATCH…..TOTAL MATCH IS NOW $4,000. A SPECIAL Christmas fund has been established to assist parishioners who do not have the discretionary income to purchase gifts for their children at Christmas. Last year, 17 parishioners donated $9,000 which enabled us to help fourteen families and organizations. Since inception in 2017, this fund has raised and contributed over $34,000 to those in need. If you would like to contribute this year please make checks payable to OLM and note “Christmas Fund”. Either mail/drop them at the Parish office or give them to Fr. Steve. This effort is in addition to the Ladies Guild Giving Tree. A generous parishioner has volunteered to “match” up to $3,000 of what is collected by the Parish. In addition, he has challenged other parishioners to join in the matching gift portion of the program. Last year we had another parishioner take up the Matching Challenge. If you are interested in matching, please call George in the office at 973-838-6838 ext. 102. Your prayerful consideration is greatly appreciated. God Bless!
