The Middle School service project is to host a ‘Children’s Christmas Store’ for the younger children of our Parish on Sunday, December 8, 2024 between the masses, from 9:30 to 10:45 AM in the Social Hall. It will allow children to be able to shop a wide assortment of Christmas gifts for their siblings, parents, grandparents and friends at very low prices!
Secondly, we are requesting gently used/new donations (unwrapped) for our Christmas Store. We will be collecting these all through the month of November 2024. A Parish wide donation request will be going out soon, but we wanted you to be the first to know and support us (and your youth) if you can. Below is a list of acceptable/ preferred items:
· Nativity or Catholic related items,
· SMALL toys,
· costume jewelry,
· ornaments, kitchenware,
· electronic gadgets and tools,
· gardening supplies
· books
· Gift wrapping supplies – Christmas Wrapping & tissue paper, gift bags and small boxes/cartons
Thank you in advance for support and God Bless you!

Holy Name of Mary is proud to offer the on-line formation program FORMED
Holy Name of Mary has a small number who help each Mass run smoothly by giving of their time to serve as Ushers, Altar Servers, Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, Lectors, and Mass Coordinators. Now that we have returned to our regular weekly Mass schedule additional help is needed. All Liturgical Ministers are assigned on a rotation basis to avoid having any one person serve every weekend. Currently, to completely meet the ministry needs of the Parish help is needed at all weekday and Sunday Masses.
Please take some time to consider how you might be able to help in any of these roles. As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace. 1Peter 4:10. Many are called, will you answer? If you could help or have questions please contact Debbie Cirre at [email protected] or by calling the Church Office.
Please ignore any texts or emails that state they are from Fr. Nixon asking for a favor. Father Nixon does not text or email asking for favors, especially money or gift cards. Be aware that they are a scam! Be Safe!
