Our Lady of Guadalupe December 12, 2020 Thank you to everyone who came out to our Family Advent Celebration! From visits with the live nativity animals — and Santa himself — we were so pleased that everyone remained masked and socially distanced. It was a wonderful day. Thank you for sharing it with us — and for your generous toy donations for the children at St. Anne’s Soup Kitchen! A special thank you to all the volunteers who made this possible. Many loving hands made the work a joy! Blessed are we!

Memorial Opportunities There are opportunities available for memorializing items in our church and cemetery mausoleums in honor of departed loved ones. If interested, please see Msgr. Benwell before or after Mass or email him at parish@ stmaryswatchung.org

Our next food collection—non-perishable groceries for the Somerset County Food Bank and frozen casseroles for SHIP is coming up soon. Your continued support means so much. Thank you!
