Parents are welcome to enroll their children ages 3-6 years old in our "Kids For Christ" program. Your child will be escorted from the 9:30am Mass into the Chapel for about 20 minutes to have joy in learning about God by creating arts and crafts and other great things. More PRAYER FOR ADVENT information and an application to follow.

May the Lord give you His peace! Thank you to both the parish and the Religious Education classes. Your abundant donations for our Thanksgiving Drive helped us provide 300 turkeys and over 700 bags of groceries for the needy! As we prepare for Christmas, we are hoping to provide our neighbors once again with enough food for a special meal. We are happy to receive any contribution of non-perishable food; however we wanted to share our specific need for: cans of carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, pineapple; boxes of mashed potatoes; cans of gravy, rice, beans and dessert items (cookies or hostess cakes). We are also accepting monetary donations to defray the cost of the hams we hope to give each family for their Christmas meal. The collection of food will be the weekend of Dec 8th/9th. We pray that God will reward your generosity abundantly.

Midnight/Breakfast Run & Music Ministries will be featured for December, please go to our website (https://holyrosaryhawthorne.org/ministry-of-the-month) to read about them
