Holy Child Christmas Fair

Saturday, November 10th

9:30 AM - 5:00 PM

Please note: The Fair will be held in the Forum

Our annual Christmas Fair will be held on Saturday, November 10

th. Many of our old time vendors will be back as well as

many, many new vendors. There will be crafts for the children to make, a food court and lots of raffle baskets. You can also have a visit with Santa.

We would greatly appreciate any donation of Scratch Off Lottery Tickets or gift cards. Donations can be brought to the Preschool or left in the Rectory.

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

Our Cardinal’s Appeal Representative sent this report:

“I was reviewing numbers today and wanted to let you know that we have achieved 600 donors for the Cardinal’s Appeal. Great job!

With the matching gift initiative, it is likely that this number will increase, but I am so happy to report this milestone.

I was reviewing the 10 year history of the parish and this is the highest amount of parishioners participating in the past 10 years --- this really is a testament to the hard work and dedication that your parish has put in!!!

I figured you would want to put this information in the bulletin and let everyone know.”

A MESSAGE FROM CARDINAL DOLAN

A blessed Autumn! You have heard the good news: with many of our parishes only now beginning their campaigns, we are exceeding all of our benchmarks towards our $200 million goal! Thank you all! Would you please remind your people that no money collected for Renew and Rebuild, Capital Campaign, or, for that matter, from the Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal, the Cathedraticum, or any of our charitable, educational, emergency relief, or missionary collections, goes to the costs of settlements with victims. As I publicized many times, like any family in an emergency, we took a loan, and will pay it off with interest from rental on property and investments. (By the way, if the statue of limitation fails, the above protections of our peoples’ offerings will indeed be in jeopardy). Thanks to those of you who showed the DVD on the crisis over the weekend. By the way, the video is also posted on the archdiocesan website at https://archny.org/news/transparency-accountability-and-action for those who may have missed seeing it at Mass.

My love, gratitude, prayers, and unity in Christ,

Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan
