New floor installed

The wooden floor by the stairs leading to the church was in very bad shape. The Parish Committee hired The CSC Services, Woodland Park to remove the floor and to install the vinyl tiles. In addition to that, mold from the nearby walls was cleaned and the walls were treated with new paint. We thank CSC Services for their job well done and Dominick Bucci for making all arrangements.

Adoration Society News

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.
