The Knights of Columbus wish to thank all the Safeway shoppers who supported our food drive at Safeway on November 23rd and 24th. Over 3,500 lbs. of food were collected for our SJN Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry. Valued at more than $5,000, this is enough to feed at least 150 families for two distributions! Thanks too to the volunteer Knights and parishioners who helped this tremendous success.
This year's Box of Joy Collection was yet another big success! 210 boxes were collected. These will bring a Merry Christmas to poor children in Latin America and the Caribbean. SJN's Knights of Columbus thank the unending generosity of Saint John Neumann parish including the religious education students with wishes for a blessed and Merry Christmas. Don't forget on December 25th -- take a minute pray for the kids and envision the joy that your boxes bring ... "And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me." Mt 18:5
Our construction for the new addition to the church building has been completed! Here was our dedication mass and blessings of our newly built rooms. A reception to follow!
We have begun to cut down trees in preparation for the upcoming construction, and are working out the final details of the building project. There is additional handicap parking in the upper parking lot, and once construction begins the Goshen Road entrance will be shut down for car traffic.
