Sandwich Sundays at the Oratory
Beginning on Sunday, September 19 at the 6pm at St Boniface the Oratory Young Men's Group (OMG) will begin collecting sandwiches in support of the Catholic Worker soup kitchen on the Lower East Side. If you would like to participate, here are the details: two slices of baloney, one slice of American cheese on white bread with a bit of
mayonnaise. Each sandwich should be in its own bag. Any number of sandwiches will be appreciated, and immediately following Mass, Fr Anthony will bring all sandwiches donated to the Catholic Worker. The plan is to have this collection once each month at the 6pm Mass. For more information, contact Fr Anthony, andreassi.anthony@gmail.com.

Eucharistic Ministry at Assumption
As we look at reintroducing Eucharistic Ministers in the coming months, we would like to have a Zoom meeting with those who have been in the ministry and those who might be interested. We will not be returning to a common chalice anytime soon. We are hoping to have one EM per Mass to safely distribute Holy Communion with the Presider by section. Even if you are uncertain about participating in the coming months in the ministry, we would appreciate your participation to get your perspective.
