HELPING HANDS
Helping Hands is a church-based service organization that depends on the generosity and loyalty of our parishioners and other organizations to help stock our food pantry with food items and toiletries. We thank you for your donations. Our mission is to distribute those food and toiletry items to people who need help in maintaining sustenance, both parishioners and non-parishioners of this parish. Currently we have need for the following items: cereals, rice, beans (pinto, lima, etc.), condiments (ketchup, mustard, etc.), canned fruits, jelly, pancake mix and syrup, macaroni and cheese. These items may change from month to month, depending on demand. If you are aware of someone in need, please contact Pattie (Secretary) at 908-351-4444 or speak to one of our priests. Food packages will be prepared and packed up in boxes to be picked up at the Rectory. We respect your privacy and all requests will be processed through the rectory and held in the upmost confidentiality. Again, thank you for your continued support.
COAT DRIVE
The Youth Group will hold its annual Coat Drive during the month of November. Gently worn coats and clothing are welcome. You may leave your donations in the boxes placed at the front and side doors. All items collected will be distributed to the needy by our Youth Group in December. Your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated.
St. Gen’s 100th Anniversary Mass and Celebration: FAQ
We are so happy about our upcoming 100th Anniversary Mass and Celebration on February 9, 2020, and even happier about the outpouring show of support! Here are some “Frequently Asked Questions” and answers about this wonderful celebration!
Q: How can I get involved in the 100th Anniversary Mass?
A: Great question! We want to involve as many people as possible! Please send an email to 100SaintGens@gmail.com and you will receive a list of volunteer opportunities available.
Q: Why are we having the celebration in the Church auditorium instead of at a catering hall?
A: Having a celebration that many parishioners can attend was our first priority. This event is for the parishioners to celebrate our beautiful church and community and what better way to celebrate than having it on Church grounds!
Q: Will there be other events to commemorate the 100th in the coming year?
A: Yes! Please check the Church Bulletin or Church announcements for future events!
Q: I have lots of ideas (and questions), who can I talk to about them?
A: Ed and Ginny Biggins are the 100th Anniversary Co-Chairs. They are easily accessible by sending an email to 100SaintGens@gmail.com or by phone at 908-351-4444
Reminder: On Sunday, November 10, following the 10:30 AM Mass there will be a meeting for all interested volunteers. The meeting will be held in the Church auditorium.
Share what St. Genevieve's means to you!
We are collecting stories and special memories about St. Genevieve’s from our parishioners’ perspective. If you have a story or special memory, please share it with us! We will be compiling them over the next few months to incorporate into the 100th Anniversary Mass and Celebration. (Say it in 50 words or less, please.)
You can fill out the form in the bulletin and drop it at the Rectory, or send an email to 100StGens@gmail.com. Please print clearly.(50 words or less, please)
