Parishioners wishing to honor the memory of a loved one can purchase these trees which will be placed in the island in front of the entrance of the Church, along the side of the Church and in the grassy area along Watchogue Rd. �The trees will be decorated with lights ONLY to maintain a neat and uniform appearance. �A laminated sign with the name of the loved one will be dis-played on the tree. �A nativity scene will also be displayed in front of the Church. �The cost of each tree will be $200 and will be sold on a first come first serve basis. �Forms are available in the lobby. �Parishioners wishing to purchase a tree should complete the form and submit it with their pay-ment to the rectory. �Checks should be made payable to the Holy Name Society.�

TOYS NEEDED�As Christmas approaches we ask our parishioners to keep the less fortunate in mind and if possible assist them by donating a new unwrapped toy. It’s very heart warming to realize that these donations will find their way to children that might not have a present to open on Christmas morning. On behalf of the brotherhood of the HNS (Holy Name Society), we thank you in advance for your wonderful donations and know that you will bring a smile to a child’s face. Please call Arthur Borik, HNS secretary, at 718�720�6379 if you have any questions. Donations start this weekend and ends Tuesday, December 19th. Please place new unwrapped toys in the Christmas box in the lobby.��

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED�The Cross Roads Foundation is in need of volunteers in all areas of our pro�life ministry including advisory clients, as-sisting in our “Mommy Store,” picking up donations and preparing mailings. Volunteer weekly, monthly or on an oc-casional basis. For more information, please call Kimberly Carbonaro at 718�556�3474 or email [email protected]. �����
