Wine Sunday

This is a reminder that several times a year, we ask each parish household to help replenish the supply of wine used at Masses, by donating a bottle of red wine. You may bring it when you come to Mass, or drop it off at the parish office through the week between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. We ask that you do not bring white, blush, or rosé wines. Thank you.

You may also wish to offer a monetary donation for the purchase of sacramental wine. In that case you can make a check payable to the Church of the Incarnation re: Altar Wine.

Music Ministry

Music ministers are needed for the Saturday 5:30 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m. Masses. The role of music minister implies a commitment to attend rehearsals and celebrations, some competency in playing an instrument and an ability to sing in tune. Ministers share musical skills both vocal and instrumental to lead the assembled community in sung prayer. If you are interested in this ministry please contact Deacon Chris Morash, the Director of Worship at the parish office (973-4381, ext. 102) .

Flower Donations

The Parish is accepting donations for the weekly flowers that adorn the altar and ambo in honor of a loved one! The cost is $75.00. Your name or a "memorial" name will be printed in the bulletin as a "thank-you" for your donation. Flowers are needed for the Sundays of the Ordinary Time (Summer/Fall), All Saints - November 1, All Souls (Mass of Remembrance) - November 2, Feast of Christ the King - November 22, along with the Third Sunday of Advent (Laetare Sunday) and the Christmas Liturgies.
