In what has been a strong nine year tradition, we are partnering with the Custom House, to support the Catholic Charities toy drive. The toys and baby items collected will be brought together in a “toy store” for parents to choose which toys they think best for their children. Please place your toys in the rear of the Church.

Volunteering for Catholic Charities Toy Drive
Much work goes into the toy drive, especially after the toys are donated. More help than usual is needed this year due to the safety protocols. We are looking for people who could help prepare for and make the toy distribution a success:
Toy Collection
The toys will be collected from churches and Investors Bank locations during the week of Dec 14. We are looking for people who have cars to drive and also those who can help load.
The toys will be dropped off at two churches in Brooklyn and Queens: St. Vincent Ferrer, Flatbush and Our Lady of the Angelus, Rego Park.
Toy Distribution
The toys will be set up at “toy stores” at the two churches where parents can select the toys for their children. Below are the dates of the toy distributions at each site:
Dec. 18: Our Lady of Angeles, Rego Park
Dec. 22: St. Vincent Ferrer, Flatbush
More details about exact timing should be available next week. If you are available to assist by email or call the rectory, [email protected] or (718) 625-1177.
