We are modifying the time for Eucharistic Adoration on First Friday for the next few months. Starting with First Friday, Oct. 2, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed on the Main Altar at 7 PM. A prayer service follows with Benediction at approximately 7:45. As is the case every day private adoration and prayers can be said in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. Please make sure you wear a mask and maintain social distance requirements

165 bags of food were collected in September for Rockland Catholic Charities. Thank you for your generosity. Our next collection will be the second Sunday in October.

Thanks very much to those parishioners who donated backpacks and school supplies last month. We collected 104 backpacks that were distributed to the children of Rockland County who were in need. Because of you, over 100 children were able to start their school year with the supplies they need to succeed!
