Hurricane Irene luckily didn’t damage our church property. The window wells and sump pump we recently installed were very effective.
As you know from the mass media, there were several families and businesses flooded in Woodland Park and other towns along the Passaic River. In our town several people were evacuated and many were able to return to their homes no sooner than Friday. The devastation is terrible. In helping victims of flood we begin a Food Drive on Sunday, September 4th. Please bring non perishable food items to the parish hall which will be given directly to flooded families or through the distribution of the Borough of Woodland Park if such case will occur.
In addition to that I ask the Parish Committee Members to attend short meeting after 9 AM Mass Sunday, September 4th to make further decisions on how we can help the flooded community of Woodland Park.
