Custom House was packed with donated toys on Saturday, December 14. These were donated to the Catholic Charities toy drive so that parents could select gifts and make sure their children had something under the tree. For twelve years, we have partnered with Custom House to benefit Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens for Santa’s Toy Shops, which serves thousands of children each year.

Mass Schedule for Immaculate Conception
Today, Friday, December 8 is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a holy day of obligation. We will celebrate Masses at 9 AM and 12:10 PM.
Novena to St. Charles
November 4 is the memorial of our parish’s patron, St. Charles Borromeo. St. Charles (1539-1584) is the patron saint of learning and the arts, and of catechists. He performed many acts of charity and ministered to the sick during an outbreak of bubonic plague.
Please join us in praying a novena in honor of St. Charles over the nine days leading to his feast, Thursday, October 26 through Friday, November 3. The parish Zoom link will be open at 5 PM each day to pray the novena with fellow parishioners.
Don’t worry if you can’t make all nine days. The materials are available here if you would like to pray on one or more days on your own.
