O GIVING TREE, O GIVING TREE…
This Thursday evening at 7:00 PM, we will gather in our church for our annual Giving Tree celebration. We will trim our large Christmas tree in our sanctuary and form a procession of gift giving. It is a wonderful sight to see hundreds and hundreds of gifts for the poor brought up. That is followed by a caravan of Boy Scouts and parishioners moving the gifts from the church to the Parish Center. Many hands will make light work. Please prayerfully consider attending and assisting us in this ministry.
REND YOUR HEARTS, NOT YOUR GARMENTS…
Friday will be a busy day here at the parish. Our Holiday Giving Program takes place in the morning and afternoon, and we have our Vicariate Communal Penance Service in church at 7:00 PM in the evening. We will listen to God’s Word, examine our conscience and express our contrition and desire to repent and change our lives. Several priests will be available to hear individual confessions, including yours. “Tis the season” the get to Confession again!
Fr. Nick Zukowski

Dear Parishioners of St. Martin de Porres Parish,
It is my happy duty to greet you during the Advent and Christmas holidays and to invite you to our parish church services. Welcome home!
This has been a year of great sadness for our Church as we hear of more cases of sexual abuse by clergy and the cover-ups by Church officials. Such evil challenges our faith.
Yet we have confidence that transparency, justice, forgiveness and healing will prevail. As we carry on with faith in Jesus Christ, as we continue to stand together, and as we take refuge in the Sacraments, may the peace and joy of the season fill our hearts. We still will respond to the call to “Unleash the Gospel” through our faithful witness!
Please pray for us, pray with us and “come home” for Christmas!
God’s blessings to you and to your loved ones!
Fr. Nick Zukowski and the Staff of St. Martin de Porres Parish, Warren
