The Archdiocese of New York takes stewardship of your donations seriously. If you have knowledge of or reason to suspect misconduct, please report your concerns via a toll-free hotline at 877-820-0541 or on the internet at http://www.reportlineweb.com/ADNY. Both are available 24 hours per day.
Registration is already open for the sacramental preparation programs that begin in September: for children and adults who haven’t received Baptism, First Communion, or Confirmation. Registration sheets for kids are in the back of church by the door; or you can sign up at the office or on sapbronx.com. One change for this year: the kids in grades 1-4, the “Treasure Hunters” group, will meet here on Wednesday evenings, from 5:30—7:00 PM.
As in other years, in July and August, there will be no Spanish Mass here at 3 PM because of the heat in the church at that time of day. The next 3 PM Mass will be on September 3.
To decorate the church as well as possible, we invite everyone to bring flowers or flower arrangements—either white or yellow or gold—to the office, by Thursday, June 8, at the latest.
