On Memorial Day, rainy weather prevented us from celebrating Holy Mass at Albany Rural Cemetery. Instead, we gathered at church for Mass to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Linda Reynolds played Taps at the conclusion of Mass, with the solemn melody echoing from the choir loft, unifying our hearts in reverence and gratitude.

The YMSofR invites you to our second Fifth Friday FUN Night on May 29 from 5:30–7:00 PM, free-will offering! Bring your family, invite a friend, and enjoy a relaxed evening of good food and good company. No agendas, no meetings, no deveining cabbage - just a chance to unwind and spend time together.

We’ll be serving hamburgers and hot dogs fresh off the grill. There's a signup sheet on the hall bulletin board. Maybe grab a partner for cornhole or toss a frisbee around the yard?

The annual PNCC Mission and Evangelism Workshop is being held this weekend, Friday, May 29th, through Sunday, May 31st, at St. Joseph’s Parish in Westfield, MA.

Last Friday night, Maddie and Emme, students at Shaker High, won the Section 2 Championship for flag football. And to complete the Fazziola family of Champions, Abby's team won the FC Delco Cup in Philadelphia. Congratulations to these amazing athletes and their great teams and coaches!

Clergy Pension Fund

Come join the Blessed Virgin Mary Church Team by participating in the 2026 Walk for Hospice on the beautiful Siena College campus on the morning of June 13. Our goal is to raise $1,000 for Hospice!



How to join our team:

Visit our Blessed Virgin Mary Church Team to register as part of our parish team or to donate on the team's behalf. To register, select REGISTER on the upper right of the page, then select “Use this option to register as a walker & join a team.” Proceed through the registration process, select your team from the dropdown, and choose "Blessed Virgin Mary Church Team."

If you want to provide support but don't want to walk, visit the link and click the “DONATE NOW” button. Your donation will be associated with our church team and help us meet our $1,000 team goal.

Over the years, Hospice has provided many of our loved ones with care, dignity, and support during their final days. Details about the walk can be found at the link below, or you can contact Don Dross. GO TEAM!

Odds 'n Ends Wednesday - 9 am - 10 am 

Join the Weekend Warriors for coffee and fellowship each week, and to care for a few odd jobs around the church. 

YOUR DONATIONS MATTER!

The groceries you place in the baskets in our vestibule become a real blessing for families in need here in our community. Each week, the Food Pantry at Christ Our Light Parish serves between 80 and 110 people — and our donations help make that possible.

Donations of non-perishable food items are always welcome. Please note that glass containers and expired food cannot be accepted.

Monetary donations are also appreciated. Financial gifts allow the pantry staff to purchase food in bulk at reduced prices, so those donations go even further in feeding those in need. Checks may be made payable to Christ Our Light Food Pantry and can be placed in the collection basket.
