Christmas Caroling for tonight, December 28th, has been postponed.

The annual Rockaway Right to Life March will take place on Saturday, January 29th. The event begins with the celebration of the Holy Mass in church at 8 o’clock in the morning followed by coffee and a brief program in Hayes Hall. Participants will then walk around Park Lake praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary and return to Hayes hall for a final prayer. Each year this event grows with young people, families and people of good will from other communities. Please join us in promoting the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death by participating in this local event.

The Saint Monica Guild will conduct a bake sale on Saturday and Sunday, December 18 & 19 in Hayes Hall following the Holy Masses. The ladies provide a wide variety of cakes, cookies and candy – all homemade! This could be a great gift as you visit with family and friends. Your support assists this parish society in its work for our parish.

Join us for an outdoor night of Christmas carols around a fire pit with hot chocolate and cookies too on Tuesday, December 28th from 7 to 8 pm at the parish parking lot (behind the rectory). A suggested donation of $5 per family will benefit the Rockaway Food Pantry. What a great way for us to come together as a family of faith to sing the Lord’s praises and to enjoy one another’s company. I think the kids will love it! – Father Zig
