Sunday eBulletinsKnights of Columbus
In an amazing act of generosity, St John Neumann parishioners donated hundreds of pounds of supplies during the Knights of Columbus’ collection event in support of the Little Sisters of the Poor on August 1 at the Newman House garage. Goods including paper products, cleaning supplies, batteries, and many other essential items were among the donations, all of which were delivered later on that afternoon to the Sisters at their residence in Washington, DC.
As Sister Jeanne Veronique noted recently, “your donation of much needed and hard to find items…thrilled us all. These are dollars saved, which we are able to use in order to sustain a loving and safe home for our residents.”
Thanks to the Knights of Columbus for hosting this important event and to all the SJN parishioners who so graciously supported it. Working together we ensure that we “leave no neighbor behind” and that we continue to care for those in our community who need our help now more than ever. Vivat Jesus!

Holy Land Carvings represent the Christian wood carvers of Bethlehem that rely on tourism to support their families. Due to the bad situation and the interruption of the tourist trade, thousands of families in the Holy Land are in danger of having to leave their homes in search of work. Holy Land Carvings sells the olive wood carvings to the to help the Christian families remain in their homes and support their families. These beautiful carvings include Nativity Scenes, Crucifixes, Rosaries, Statues, The Last Supper, and several other religious items. 
Holy Land Carvings has been supported by St. John Neumann parishioners and friends since 2018. Usually they bring their beautiful olive wood carvings to our church for sale. This year, with COVID-19 affecting us, we are pleased to offer another way to continue our support for the Christians of the Holy Land.

Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated, and we are so honored to partner with you in this important mission. Together we can strengthen the presence of Christians in the Holy Land.
