St. Joseph’s Church “Sponsor A Family”

Lita Reilly, Sr. Ginny MaGuire and Pat DiMattia
Lita Reilly, Sr. Ginny MaGuire and Pat DiMattia Fall is here and Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away! The St. Joseph’s Sponsor A Family Committee is busy preparing to help over 200 families from two neighboring parishes - Queen of the Most Holy Rosary in Roosevelt and Our Lady of Loretto in Hempstead. This year the need for assistance is greater than ever and we are counting on the continuing support and generosity from the Garden City community. The goal is to provide a complete Thanksgiving dinner, including a frozen turkey with all of the trimmings to so many families in need. It is a unique opportunity to share your blessings with others. We encourage all residents and community organizations to participate in this wonderful charitable event.

Please join us in our mission to help others this Thanksgiving. Information and sign up forms will be in the St. Joseph’s bulletin for the next three weeks (10/17, 10/24 and 10/31) or you may call Lita Reilly at 248-5880 or Pat DiMattia at 294-9316.

The deadline to sign up is Tuesday, November 3 and the collection of the grocery dinners will take place on Saturday morning, November 21 from 9:30 to 11:30 AM at the St. Joseph’s School parking lot. With so many families in such great need, your assistance this year is now more important than ever. Thank you for your support!
