Men of St. Monica's HNS
Greetings Holy Namers,
COVID is NOT stopping our dynamic and active society from supporting our theme of the 3 S's - Service, Spiritual and Social - its just modifying it a bit. HERE is what's happening.
Our leadership continues to meet each month in virtual meetings for the good of the parish community.
FIRST off..... CORRECTION on last Flocknote.... the date to provide help with the misseletts, is Friday November 27th - Day after Thanksgiving. Sorry bout that!
1. DUES are DUE
It is that time again gents for us to reach out to our entire organization for yearly dues. We are again asking for a minimum of just $15 to support our Holy Name mission. You can drop an envelope into the collection basket clearly marked HOLY NAME SOCIETY, or drop off at the rectory. As always.... Thank you for your financial support. You can ALSO mail in your dues to:
Bill Sherman
515 Daventry Road
Berwyn Pa 19312
2. Annual Dinner Christmas Social
As tradition has it, most would be expecting news to come out for our annual Christmas social dinner meeting that we always have in December. BUT, due to COVID, this, in its traditional sense, will not be occurring, but we ARE looking to put together a VIRTUAL Zoom happy hour on Monday, December 7th so we can at least try and have a bit of SOCIAL interaction along with respecting social distancing. STAY tuned for more info on this.
3. HNS Grotto Walk at Malvern
Thanks to Jeff Soderberg's idea..... the HNS is proud to provide an outdoor spiritual opportunity. As we continue to share over the years, the Malvern Retreat grounds are a very special place, and we are lucky this is right in our backyard. This will provide an opportunity for fellowship and reverence. These grounds are certainly highlighted by "The Grotto" as many of us have experienced during our annual retreat.
We will walk together outside with appropriate social distancing from the parking lot below Immaculate Conception Hall to the Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto. Prayers at the Grotto. It is a short and beautiful walk on a paved path through the grounds.
Date is Sunday, November 29, time is 2:00 pm. Duration approx. one-half hour or so. Rain date is December 4.
Address of Malvern Retreat House for gps:
315 S. Warren Avenue
Malvern, PA 19355
Attached in this flocknote is a map of the Malvern grounds and where we intend on meeting.
Thank you men.
Stay well..... stay healthy..... stay safe
