Special Parish Events this Month...ish
CHURCH CHRISTMAS FLOWERS
We know it’s early but those of you who use the parish envelope system, will be receiving an envelope packet which contains the traditional Christmas Flower envelope.
This year, we are hoping to, once again, present the parish with another spectacular floral and evergreen display in our Church. Your usual generosity will help make this possible. You may place your Christmas Flower Offering Envelope in the contribution basket on ANY SUNDAY prior to Christmas.
As in the past, your Christmas Flower Offering Envelope, memorializing the names of family members and friends will be placed on the altar throughout the Christmas Season. Additional Flower Envelopes will be made available in the vestibule of the Church as we get closer to December.
LADIES GUILD GIFTS FOR RETIRED RELIGIOUS
The Guild is collecting gifts for the Retired Religious Sisters of St. Dominic, Sparkill; Dominican Sisters, Blauvelt and the Sisters of Charity, Nanuet.
Our goal is to give a few gifts to every Sister, such as skin lotion (Vaseline Intense Care), toothpaste/mouthwash, writing paper, stamps, Dove soap, white tube socks and articles appropriate for an elderly person. (NO Perfumes.) Gifts should be unwrapped. Thank you for your generosity.
ALSO: Come join in the merriment as we wrap the gifts that will be given to our local retired nuns. Our wrapping party will be held on Tuesday, December 17th at 1pm in the Parish Meeting Room. Bring scissors & tape. We will provide the paper and refreshments.SAINT AEDAN’S ADVENT GIVING TREE
Please take an ornament from the tree in the vestibule, buy the item written on the back and decorate the ornament. Then place the item (unwrapped) under the tree in the Church and hang the decorated ornament on the tree. While it is fun to buy toys for children, please keep in mind, especially this year, let’s give what people really need.
We are asking that everything be turned in no later than Sunday, December 15th.THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR
TRADITIONAL SUPPORT. -

HOSPICE CHRISTMAS TREES AT THE PALISADES MALL
If you find your self shopping at the Palisades Mall this Season, especially over by the Cheesecake Factory and Sephora...stop by the Hospice of Rockland Christmas Tree display. You can purchase a STAR to add to their trees in honor of a departed loved one. This year is the first time they are including a separate tree for passed VETERANS! It is one of their nicer, simpler fund raisers of the year. You may make a donation of any size; however, the stars start for as little as $10, and go up to the thousands for the TREE TOPPERS, but they are usually scooped up first! Volunteers are needed for the duration of the Christmas Season...they are there now through December 24th. 10am-1:30pm-5pm-8pm, all three shifts are there every day!
