+ BRING IN A CHAIR!
These chairs were under the tent during last Saturday’s storm that massacred our event tent (a moment of silence, please)…
Your trusty Senior Warden played hooky on Monday afternoon to collect all the remaining debris and wash mud off of the chairs. Now you can help with the next step. The chairs are stacked outside the “mailbox” doors. If you are able, please grab a chair or two and bring it inside to the Memorial Room where we stack them on the left side wall behind the couch. Thanks!
Held over an extra week since last Sunday’s downpours prevented the completion of the task.
+ PUT YOUR TRASH ROSARY SKILLS TO WORK!
Overbrook Park Civic Association is hosting Clean Up days at Rose Playground at 75th Street and Lansdowne Avenue on select Saturdays through November. We pray for the Rose Playground area twice a week in our Parish Prayer List: on Sundays we pray for 75th Street and on Tuesdays we pray for Lansdowne Avenue. Why not add an additional day per month of praying for that area during a clean up day? The next scheduled date is May 13th. If you find yourself available between 9am-11am stop by and lend a hand! Need a refresher of Fr. James’ “Trash Rosary” article? – you can re-read it here
