An Act ofSpiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Volunteer Appreciation Mass - Dec. 9 at 7:00pm
In appreciation of all the efforts of volunteers in the parish, Fr. Abraham cordially invites all volunteers to a Special Mass on December 9 at 7:00pm followed by coffee and cake to celebrate all our volunteers!
Volunteerism has been defined as "the practice of people working on behalf of others without being motivated by financial or material gain...generally considered an altruistic activity, intended to promote good or improve human quality of life." It is one of the most fundamental ways we have of inspiring God's give way of life.
As such, it is one of the greatest assets we can ever have. To all of you who volunteer, in ways great and small, visible and invisible, we say, "Thank you!"
It is your practicing this give way of life that will keep the Church warm and moving forward.

Covid Protocol Update
Please continue to help keep our Church community safe and healthy by wearing a mask indoors as per CDC guidelines. Holy Name of Jesus and the Archdiocese of NY follow the CDC guidelines for masking indoors during the ongoing pandemic.
If you or your family, including children 2-12 are unvaccinated, PLEASE wear masks indoors in our Church. This will help reduce the spread of the Covid virus, especially the new Delta variant which is highly transmissible.
Just a few facts to consider…as of 12/02 per the Westchester
County dashboard; 70.3% of Valhalla’s residents have been vaccinated, which means 29.7% have not and are still of risk to themselves and others.
If you have been full vaccinated, feel free to wear your mask in church as an additional layer protection.
Let’s continue to be vigilant in protecting one another. “Love thy neighbor as thy self”.

Thanks so much to all our parishioners who helped to make Christmas crafts for residents of local nursing homes. About 40 volunteers made Christmas trees, cards, gingerbread houses, elves, ornaments, wreaths... Everything looked beautiful and festive. The crafts helped to brighten up the rooms of the residents. Many thanks to all who participated. Thanks also to RE students and to Mary Poakart for making beautiful Christmas cards. Many thanks to Sister Gertrude for helping to deliver the crafts. They were given to Rosary Hill, Cabrini, Wartburg, and the Bristal.

Thanks so much to all our
parishioners who donated new and used winter coats for
people in need. We received many coats of all sizes and styles for men, women, and children.
The men's and women's coats were given to Midnight Run in Dobbs Ferry, the homeless shelter at Grasslands, and to the Don Bosco Center in Port Chester. The children's coats were all given to Don Bosco Center.
The staff of each facility was so happy to receive our donations as it's getting much colder outside and many folks were in great need of a warm coat. Thanks so much to all for your generosity.
