A GIVING TREE THANK YOU In the name of each child who received the gift of Christmas through the generosity of our Parish SECRET SANTAS, thank you For your generous support of the GIVING TREE. A very special thank you goes to Nancy Tognan who is responsible for the computerization of the Giving Tree. It is a wonderful system that tracks the gifts from the moment they are requested until they are packaged for distribution. We now can easily ascertain any missing gifts and address the situation so that all requests are filled. We would like to thank those who helped by sorting, wrapping, packing, loading and transporting gifts. A Special Thank You to Nancy and Lou Tognan who were present for the collection of the gifts. Also to Troop 49 and their leaders for their dedication to this project. We also would like to thank the Girl Scouts who cut out and pasted labels on the tags and decorated the trees. THANK YOU, Eagle Scout Project Ryan Messer Hello and Thank You, I have just completed my journey to becoming an Eagle Scout. My Eagle Scout project consisted of building Toiletry Kits that would help benefit the children at St. Joseph s School for the Deaf. In order to raise money for my project, I came to the very generous Sacred Heart community in April. With your generosity and the help of family and friends I was able to raise $1,500 dollars. All excess money that was left over from the Toiletry Kits was donated to the school. Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for this community and the people in it. Once again, Than You so much and I wish everyone a Happy New Year. DUE TO EVERYONE S EFFORTS 675 GIFTS WERE RECEIVED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO Dorothy Bennett Center Bridge to Life St. Bonaventure/Benedict Moor St. Joseph School for the Deaf Mercy Services, PA. Queen of the Most Holy Rosary St. Rita Star of the Sea St. Lucy/St. Patrick GOD BLESS ALL THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN OUR GIVING TREE PROGRAM

6 PLANNING A FUNERAL LITURGY It's not uncommon for people to make prearrangements with funeral homes regarding their burial options. But have you ever thought about going a little further in your pre-planning? What about planning a funeral liturgy? Believe it or not, there have been a number of requests to do just that. So, the opportunity to learn how to plan a funeral mass and then to plan your own funeral liturgy is here. THE ADVANTAGE: You can communicate to your loved ones your preferences the scripture readings, hymns, and prayers that YOU WANT that best capture your particular beliefs. You can identify preferences for pall bearers, offertory gift bearers, scripture readers, and who it is you want to offer a eulogy. Preparing your funeral liturgy in advance can relieve your family of tremendous pressure at a time of intense emotional pain. On your part, it becomes a final gesture of love and concern offered to family and friends. If interested, please call Sister Kathleen at so that materials can be prepared. When? January 24, 2019 Time? 11am Where?
