Needing a New Winter Coat for your child?  If you are in need of a winter jacket for your child, please call the parish office and let us know. The Social Concerns Committee is organizing a Children’s Coat Give-Away during October. Please call (570)342-4881 and leave your name, the first name of the child, his/her coat size and your phone number. Coats will be distributed starting October 22^nd.

Last year our parish Social Concerns Committee hosted a new coat give a way for children. It proved to be a very successful and well received parish project! We’d like to continue it again this year. Beginning the weekend of September 30^th & October 1^st, the first name of a child and his/her coat size will be available in baskets on the radiators of the church. If you are financially able to participate, please take a name tag, purchase the jacket, and attach the name tag to the coat.   PLEASE DO NOT WRAP THE COATS!! Coats can be brought to the church or parish office.  If you prefer to make a monetary donation to the drive instead, that would be wonderful also. We would appreciate it if you would wait until we know the actual sizes needed before you shop! We can then match the coat to the child. Thank you!! Coats will be distributed beginning the week of October 22^nd.

Our Night of Reflection this year will take place on Monday, October 30^th at Mendicino’s Restaurant in Covington Twp. Our guest speaker will be Shannon Kowalski, the Diocesan Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry. Mark the day down…more information to follow regarding reserving your spot!! Transportation available!!

For the month of September, let us pray for teachers everywhere, that they may receive strength and stamina to continue in the work that you have called them to. Let’s also pray that the children they teach will gain the education, wisdom, and discernment they need to reach the fullness of life God intends for each of them.
