Household & decorative items, clothing, jewelry, toys and much more will be available. If anyone has something in good condition that is no longer wanted but may be a treasure to someone else please consider donating it to the white elephant/flea market table. The more items available for sale the greater our profit will be. Also, we are in need of volunteers to work at the table. Anyone who is able to help, either by donating items to sell or by working at the table, is asked to contact the Rectory or call Filomena at (973) 790-6332. 
Catholic Charities In an effort to raise much needed funds, Catholic Charities now has a “car donation” program and is desirous of having donors give us used cars and other vehicles which will be sold and whose proceeds will fund our programs and services for the poor. It you need more information, you can access at www.catholiccharities-cardonations.org. Many thanks for considering this request. It will help us tremendously. Joe Duffy |
