This initiative, called "Helping Hands," will provide essential resources such as food, clothing, and educational support. We're incredibly excited about this program and the positive impact it will have on our neighbors. To make this program successful, we need volunteers for various roles, including sorting donations, tutoring, and driving. If you're interested in volunteering, please sign up at the parish office or visit our website. Your time and effort can make a huge difference in someone’s life.

In other news, we've also completed the renovations on the church hall! The hall now features updated lighting, a new sound system, and a fresh coat of paint. It’s now a much more welcoming and functional space for various events, meetings, and activities. We celebrated the reopening with a special community dinner last weekend, and it was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the new facilities. We extend a huge thank you to all the volunteers and donors who made this project possible. Your generosity and hard work have truly enhanced our parish. Looking ahead, the hall will be used for a variety of purposes, including youth group meetings, bible studies, and community gatherings. Keep an eye on the church bulletin for upcoming events and opportunities to use the space.

Finally, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve welcomed two new members to our pastoral team. Sister Mary and Deacon John have joined us and are already making valuable contributions to our community. Sister Mary will be focusing on youth ministry, bringing her experience and passion to our younger parishioners. Deacon John will be assisting with liturgical services and pastoral care, providing spiritual guidance and support to those in need. Please give them a warm welcome when you see them around the church! We are so grateful to have them as part of our Oscosc Catholic Church family. With their help, we can continue to grow and strengthen our community, providing even more opportunities for spiritual growth and service.
