Joy Box Reminder

Boxes are scheduled to ship the second week of November. We are collecting money to offset the cost of shipping. If you care to donate, look for the sign and container in the narthex.

About Box of Joy:
Box of Joy is an annual Christmas shoebox gift ministry organized by local Catholic schools, parishes and groups across the United States and facilitated by Cross Catholic Outreach. Participants bless children suffering from extreme poverty by filling boxes with toys and other gifts, sharing the joy of Christmas and planting seeds of hope. Here are St. Mary’s and Fatima, this project has been incorporated into our religious education program.
You can be a part of it too.

Disciple Maker Index Survey

This fall, ABVM and Our Lady of Fatima will be conducting a parish survey on discipleship called the Disciple Maker Index(DMI), and we need to hear from you!

As part of the Diocesan Called for More initiative, the survey will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and our parish’s efforts to help you become the best disciple you can be. The information gathered will be used to plan for the future so we can become a more faith-filled, vibrant community.

The DMI will be open online from October 15 – November 24 and will take 10-15 minutes to complete (paper surveys will be available for those who need them). All responses will be confidential.

In the coming weeks, check the bulletin, and the parish website for more information, including how to access the survey online or complete a paper survey.

Funeral Luncheon Ministry Update

A team of volunteers  provide  funeral luncheons to parishioners in Frederick Hall after the services. Families return to the parish center and are served a stress free lunch as these volunteers take care of everything!

We are in need of volunteers to help. You never have to give more than a couple hours of your time because of the various jobs. For example, after the food is served, the clean up committee will arrive.

As a volunteer you can choose to …

• set up the day before
• prepare and serve the food
• cleanup
• provide a dessert

Volunteers are called when a luncheon is scheduled. At that time, you can decide if you are available for that luncheon.

You never have to give more than a couple hours of your time.

If you would like to signup to help fill out this form here or call the church office

717-272-5674. We would love to have you.

The third weekend of each month is the designated date for collection of food for Lebanon County Christian Ministries (LCCM) and Jonestown Outreach Pantry (JOY). These community outreach centers really depend on your contributions. Keep your food items coming and thank you in advance for your generosity. Please remember the poor boxes when you leave Church as this money goes to help the poor who come to our door .  Thank you so much and God bless you!
