East Rochester Area Churches Giving Tree
We continue to support the ER Resource Center program that provides gift cards to Parkside/DePaul residents, and this year, our congregation will offer to 15 people, gifts to celebrate the holidays. We need three more giftcards, anyone wishing to participate is asked to bring a $25 gift card from Dollar General, Wegmans or Big Lots to church no later than December 15th. We will get the cards to the Parkside/DePaul residents in time for Christmas. Thank you for your generosity!
Parking for Christmas Eve Mass
Our Mass on December 24th will be held at 4PM. If you are able, please consider parking at First Church Christ, Scientist 1104 Main Street or on the right-hand side of Brizee Street (across from our driveway). This will ensure that folks with mobility issues are able to park close to the church. Also, please remember that our parking lot is one-way only. Please proceed counterclockwise as you make your way around the parked cars. Thank you!
Money Ball is Back!
This fundraising event is open to all parishioners and the public! Balls/numbers are available for purchase now! Original numbers will be available until 12/8 at which time they will be available for others to pick!! The proceeds will benefit Mary Magdalene Church and our InReach/OutReach ministries. Click here for an informational flyer. Contact Tammy Drollette tdrollette@rochester.rr.com to purchase a ball if you are not able to do so in person.
SNOW ANGELS
It's that time of year again when we ask for volunteers to help clear the sidewalks and steps of snow and ice on Sunday mornings. We have a power shovel that is relatively easy to use and several regular shovels. Rock salt is available inside the back door and near the elevator in the front of the church. You would need to arrive to church early, between 9:15-9:30. Many hands make light work! If you can help please contact Sue. Thank you!
Winter Clothing Drive
On October 1st, we will begin collecting new or gently used winter apparel (coats, hats, gloves) for men, women, and children. Look for the collection box in the foyer of the church. These items will be distributed to those in need through the Open Door Mission and House of Mercy in Rochester. This drive will end on December 18th. In the past, over 200 coats have been collected as part of this project!
