Announcements

In an effort to raise matching funds to complete the much needed work on our stained glass windows, the church is embarking on a major fund raiser called the Governor’s Rally with the hopes of raising $50,000.00 or more dollars to match funding from The New York Landmarks Conservancy.  The Ingathering will be held on Sunday, March 30, 2008.

On the first Friday of each month, at 10:00 am, we will celebrate a requiem for those who have died in that month.  The names are taken from our parish register and others that have been added.  If you wish someone remembered at our parish requiem, please submit the names to the parish office.  The next service will be held on Friday, March 7^th at 10:00 a.m.  We will remember all who died in March in any year.  Please submit names to the office.
