Bountiful Blessings ~ No gift is too small as long as it is tied with heartstrings of love! How time flies and it's again time for our Bountiful Blessings program. Each year St. Philip Neri has so generously participated and I am confident, as a parish family, this year will be equally successful in these challenging economic times. As in years past, gifts will be distributed to children at St. John of God in Central Islip, St. Rosalie's in Hampton Bays, Eastern Farm Workers in Bellport, as well as the residents of Dawn Hill Adult Home and the young mothers and children at Regina Residence and a Madonna Height's shelter, St. Joseph's Residence. This year we will also extend financial assistance to the Sister's of St. Joseph's mission in the Dominican Republic where the people are suffering from cholera and need help to build basic necessities. Tags will be available in church beginning the weekend of November 19th and 20th. May God bless you one and all - Cheryl Kraus and Committee |
