Shrine of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Some parishioners have asked to make a shrine of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini in the church to honor this local saint who served Our Lord so lovingly and tire-lessly by serving the poor and immigrants. I have heartily welcomed this idea provided that this project be fully funded by donation. While some have pledged already to the project, I wanted to invite others to be a part of it if they wish. We will be getting a statue, a pedestal and candle stand for the shrine. Once the funds are prepared and things are ordered, we will work on having a dedication of the shrine, probably after the New Year. If you are interested in being part of this project, please feel free to bring donations to the rectory and specify it is for the Shrine of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini. Please make checks payable to Our Lady Help of Christians Church. St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, pray for us.

PROJECT HOSPITALITY

We are looking for Volunteers

Did you know that our Parish Community has

been serving lunch monthly at the

Central Ave Shelter for Project Hospitality?

We have our two large outreach events

(Thanksgiving and Easter) and our Parish is

amazingly generous with both their time and

donations.

Would you like to get involved more often?

If so, please contact the rectory.

We serve the last Saturday of every month and

are always looking for donations of

people to serve or donate cooked food, snacks,

drinks, etc.

We are Blessed to have a wonderful group of

Parishioners that help out every month.

Thank you for your support!
