St. Peter Julian Eymard
"Hear Mass daily; it will prosper the whole day. All your duties will be performed the better for it, and your soul will be stronger to bear its daily cross. The Mass is the most holy act of religion; you can do nothing that can give greater glory to God or be more profitable for your soul than to hear Mass both frequently and devoutly. It is the favorite devotion of the saints. "
Food For Families
KofC Jars with Yellow Lids
The Washingtonville Knights of Columbus have launced their Food for Families program, which has been implemented to support Country Kids 4U Food Pantry. With the cooperation of local businesses, clear glass jars with yellow lids have been placed in their stores. All funds collected will go directly to Country Kids to help with the purchase of food.
Knights program chairman, Bill Preston, met with the pantry's Directors in late January. Given an explanation of how the program works and a tour of the building, Bill knew the Knights had to help. "John, Peter and Valerie have put together a great organization. It's a safety net for so many people in our community who have been impacted by events beyond their control. We feel privledged to be able to help."
Knights Sean Cunnane, Frank Roughneen, Sal Pineda, Danny Munoz, Joe Prunty, Kevin Strommer and Viz Cordero help Bill and all the Country Kids volunteers load and unload vans full of food on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month at the pantry.
We'd like to thank the following buisnesses for their willingness to help. If you'd like a 'Jar with a Yellow Lid' placed in your store, please call Bill Preston at 845-667-4038.
