Best Wishes to Christopher McGinnis
St. Matthew and OLPH Parish said goodbye to Christopher McGinnis, the organist at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, last weekend. Chris has moved to the Sunshine State and, believe it or not, has been flying up to New York each weekend to play at Mass! We thank Chris for his years of service to our parish and wish him all the best in his new adventures.
Update on Trees in Front of St. Matthew Church
Recently, the Village of Hastings removed the street trees in front of the St. Matthew Church and Rectory. The Village has stated that the trees were determined to be dead or dying. They are in the process of selecting new trees to be planted later this spring.
The tree pits in front of the church will receive new soil so that the replacement trees will have nutrients available to them to fully establish themselves.
Mass & Candle Intentions Available
There are a number of available Masses for the upcoming weeks. The Mass book is currently open through July. The stipend for a Mass intention is $15. If you would like to reserve a Mass for a loved one or a special intention, please email Christine at the rectory or call Theresa at 914-478-2822.
Candle intentions in memory of a loved one or for a special intention are also available for many weeks. You may reserve the tabernacle candle at St. Matthew, the Blessed Mother candles at St. Matthew or the tabernacle candle at OLPH. The cost is $10/candle. Please email Christine at the rectory or call Theresa at 914-478-2822.
