This Thanksgiving we will be trying something different!
Usually we gather in the cafeteria on a Saturday afternoon with a large group of parishioners to make crafts for nursing homes. Because of COVID, we cannot do that. So, we will try making crafts at home!  I have ordered a variety of simple Thanksgiving crafts.  Most are peel and stick, some need a glue gun, others are coloring/scratch activities.

If interested, please contact me telling me what kind of craft you would be interested in making - peel and stick, glue gun, or coloring/scratch. (If a glue gun is needed, I will provide a glue gun plus extra glue sticks).

For each person who calls, I will set aside one or 2 packages of crafts for you.  I will be outside the school gym vestibule door, on the steps, on Saturday Nov. 7 from 12:30-1:00pm for everyone to pick up their crafts.  If that time doesn't work for you, let me know and I can make other arrangements with you.  You will have one week to complete your crafts.

Please leave your completed crafts and unused kits on the school stage or in the green Social Concerns bins in the church vestibules by the weekend of November 14/15.  I will pick up the crafts on Sunday, Nov 15, after the 12:00pm mass. (I will also check the stage/bins on Tues morn, Nov 10, for those of you who may finish your crafts early). 

The crafts will be delivered to Maryknoll and perhaps other nursing homes.

Please call or email Maureen at 914-946-9334 or email
MMCL16@optonline.net if interested.

Halloween Craft Thanks
Many thanks to all the parishioners who picked up Halloween crafts from SocialConcerns and made them at home. They were all given to retired Sisters living at Maryknoll. Maryknoll we know was hit hard by the virus early on, and several Sisters died from Covid. The director said the Sisters loved the crafts! It helped to lift their spirits. Thanks so much for helping to brighten their days just a little bit!

Would you like to join us? This is a great activity for families as well as individuals.  Also a nice option for students' service hours.  No special skills are needed, just enthusiasm!

Most crafts are peel and stick.  The crafts we make will be given to several different nursing homes, including Rosary Hill, Hebrew Home (the Grove), and FDR Veteran's Home.  Knowing that someone in the community cared enough, our crafts always bring smiles and joy to our seniors in these nursing homes.

Please call or email Maureen at 946-9334, MMCL16@optonline.net and join us for a fun afternoon of service, laughs and camaraderie all for a worthwhile cause.
