We appreciate everyone who helped with HOSPITALITY SUNDAY on October 23rd at Saint Alphonsus Church after each Mass. It was a beautiful day and parishioners really enjoyed the donuts. Attached are photos from the event.
Spina Bifida Awareness Dress Down Day
Tuesday, October 25th we will be donating $1 or more to benefit Rise Again, a foundation founded by a Seelos alumni family, who support those with spinal cord injuries or illnesses.For more info, please go to the Rise Again website.
Help Support our 5th Annual Pajama Drive!
Please join us in providing a little love and warmth for local families this Christmas by donating a new pair of pajamas! This year we hope to collect enough to provide for families of refugees from Syria, elementary school age children in Mars and Butler, Beverly’s Birthdays, the Christmas in Appalachia initiative at Saint Aidan, and the North Hills Community Outreach, so all sizes are needed! Please see the flyer for details, and email me if you have any questions at juliebyrne@roadrunner.com.

Thank you!
Katie (6th grade), Lexie (5th grade), and Maggie (2nd grade) Miller
