Is there an OLM parishioner with a pickup truck? House of Hope needs your truck to move donations to Paterson. It requires about 2 - 3 hours a month. OLM Volunteers help load the truck in Kinnelon and the folks in Paterson will unload it for us. If you have a pick up truck and 2-3 hours per month please call or email Sue Urban for information at 973-202-8716 scaufield11@gmail.com.

The House Calls for Groceries program provides assistance to homebound residents in Morris County. Volunteers are asked to shop about once a week, based upon client needs. This simple task can make a huge difference for an elderly neighbor for whom shopping has become a difficult process and, simultaneously, provide that neighbor a break from the isolation of being homebound. Please call 973-451-4128 to speak with the Development Coordinator, Rachel Enderle or email renderle@vnannj.org to answer any additional questions you may have.
Donations are now being accepted for the annual Friends of Kinnelon Library book sale. Donations of gently used books, vinyl records, CD’s DVD’s and books-on-tape will be accepted at the Kiel Ave Firehouse only now thru August 7th. The book sale dates are August 19th – Monday August 22nd.
Consider making your weekly contributions to OLM charitable donations through a QCD - Qualified Charitable Distribution. These contributions can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year. A QCD excludes the amount donated from taxable income, which is unlike regular withdrawals from an IRA. Please call George in the Parish office for more information.
God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the CALLED! No Matter where you are in your life with God, HE is qualifying you for His service because you are CALLED. Please consider becoming a catechist/teacher for our Religious Education program. We have a need for Sundays, weekly, 10:15-11:30 or Mondays, Weekly, 4:30-5:45. For more information see Mary Ramsden’s contact information below.
Do you have a desire to grow closer to Christ through Jesus and Mary? For information about becoming a Lay Carmelite call Carol Mangani at 973-283-2218.
