SMG Parishioners,

We have gotten notification that some parishioners have received text messages from someone impersonating Fr. Brian Dudzinski. These text messages may be from the number 945-260-6758 or another number and are not legitimate and are not coming from Fr. Dudzinski. These texts and previous attempted scams are not the result of any hacks of our systems or records. Spammers instead typically harvest phone numbers and email addresses from other public websites, chat rooms, domain contact points, and other sources.

If you received a message, it may say:

"[Name] please return my text when you get it, I have a favor to ask?

God Bless

Fr. Brian Dudzinski"

If you have received a text message such as this, DO NOT RESPOND. These scammers are texting from a phone number that is not Fr. Dudzinski's but is meant to look like it is.

Thank you.

St. Maria Goretti...pray for us!
