Our yearly Christmas gift outreach to the children of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in Jersey City has begun.

Names of the children and of local adults available for the gift adoption program will be distributed at the main entrance located in the rear of our church AFTER ALL MASSES on the weekends of

NOVEMBER 24/25 AND DECEMBER 1/2.

All gifts must be NEW, WRAPPED AND TAGGED for the person you adopt. If you are unsure what to purchase for your child or adult, gift cards are also a welcome gift. All gifts must be brought to Church by Sunday, December 9th at 1PM to ensure delivery to your child by Christmas.

If you wish to make a monetary donation please send your check to our Parish Office located at 200 Jefferson Avenue, Cresskill, NJ 07626 in an envelope marked “OLS Outreach”. Finally, if you are unable to adopt a child but would still like to participate we will be happy to accept new, and in this case, unwrapped gifts which will also be sent to Our Lady of Sorrows. As always, your loving generosity is most gratefully appreciated. If you have any questions, call Nancy at 201-394-0713.

Retirement Fund for Religious

Next weekend please support the Retirement Fund for Religious. A donor writes, “Your flyer touched my heart—seeing the retired religious, such memories surfaced.” Do you remember the sisters, brothers, or religious order priests who made a positive difference in your life? Today many are elderly and need assistance. Their reli-gious communities struggle to meet retirement needs while continuing to serve the People of God. Please give to next week’s second collec-tion.
