Parishioners Pat and Barb Clark visit Esopus.

Pat & Barb Clark went on a road trip this summer to Esopus to visit and  see Father Browne’s grave stone. They wanted to  share the following photos with all of us!! Below are pictures taken of Father Browne’s grave stone. The property is now owned by a Bruderhoff group, a religious organization. They welcomed Pat & Barb with open arms and wanted to know more about Father Browne. Truly a wonderful visit for all!!!

Celebrating the Feast of  the Holy Rosary, O.L.P.H. Jr. Legion of Mary traveled on a Mission Trip to The Regency Assisted Living Home in Edgewater to visit and pray the Rosary with their 14 Residents, with the owner Beni Demitta and Staff .
Our Legionaries gave each resident a Rosary and together we prayed the Holy Rosary with them led by our members.
The Residents were each also given a Blessed Shawl made and donated by our CCW Women of Sacred Heart.
We thank owner Beni and staff for such a warm welcome by making us feel welcome but also appreciating Beni providing our group with snacks and drinks.
Special, “Thanks,” also goes out to the Mc. Guires who treated our Group to dinner at Chick-fil-a.

We hope that the men of the parish eighteen and above consider becoming a Knight. It’s easy just pick up a form in the church alcove or office, ask a knight or contact me Grand Knight Fran McGrath at 386-314-6480. Your effort and help is appreciated.
