Adoration Society News

Events, PNCC /

Last Sunday the ANS sold stuffed cabbage in between Holy Masses. Renata volunteered her time and talent to help raise money for the Society by preparing this delicacy. We thank her for offering to do this and we thank those who support us. There may be a few in the freezer, for sale, if you missed out last week. DELICIOUS!

The annual ANS Agape was held in Wallington last Sunday. It was truly inspiring. The imagery of our sins completely disappearing was amazing! We each wrote what bothered us most on a special piece of paper. One by one, we were escorted to the altar; put the paper in a bowl of water and it disappeared. As always, Father Nowicki did a wonderful job putting the service together and the Wallington Parish prepared a fantastic meal. They were very welcoming. It was nice to see so many priests from the Seniorate in attendance.

On April 22nd the ANS is having Bring A Sister Sunday. It will be held in between Masses. We will have a short meeting and introduce interested woman to what we usually do. There will be no pressure to join, but new members are very welcome at anytime.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebration. The weather was great.

I thank our dear SOCL teachers: Mrs. Karen Paulison, Mrs. Natalie Lazar, and Mrs. Jamie Santos for their help organizing Christmas Eve Mass at 4 PM. Mrs. Claire was unable to be with us due to her husband’s hospitalization. We keep him and all our homebound parishioners and friends in our prayers.

Equally, I would like to thank all the students who wore costumes and participated in the liturgy as lectors and altar servers. I thank all parents who brought their children to church.

I also thank those who served as lectors, choir members, altar servers on Christmas Eve Holy Masses at 4 PM and 10 PM, and for the Christmas Day 10 AM Holy Mass, and all who came to share their faith in the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. God bless you all.

Wishing you healthy, happy and blessed New Year 2012!!
