Catholic Charities- We are here to help

Samaritans coordinates our RaiseRight program (formerly known as ShopWithScrip), where you can purchase shopping cards for a wide variety of companies.  For every shopping card purchased, Samaritans receives a rebate that is used to help those in need.  The percentage for the rebate varies by vendor.

Our 2023 Christmas Giving Tree is taking place now. We are continuing to use an electronic list via the Sign-Up Genius platform for requests. The electronic list can be below.  You will need to enter an email address to select items from the list. All the organizations with whom we worked last year have returned for this year. Several of the organizations continue to request gift cards only. There are still client families and a few organizations who have requested items other than gift cards, as well. All donated items must be dropped off to the lower lobby or the Main Office by 11:00am on Sunday, December 10th. The opening message for this event in Sign-Up Genius contains additional details.

Financial contributions to be put toward items for this Drive are welcome. There is a Samaritans-Giving Tree item available in WeShare.  Please consider using RaiseRight to purchase donated gift cards. Feel free to stop by the RaiseRight table around Masses to learn more.

Anyone interested in helping sort and prep donated items on Sunday, December 10th is welcome. Volunteers will be working in the Community Room from 8:30am until we finish (likely around midday). Feel free to come help whenever you

The Social Committee is looking for men and women 21 years of age or older,  who want to promote fellowship and a sense of community here at Resurrection Parish. After a long hiatus due to COVID-19 we welcome new members to help us carry on the tradition of the sense of community upon which Resurrection Parish was founded.  If you are interested in helping to run 3 to 4 social events each year, please contact Mike or Claire at cmlamb@optonline.net or 973-366-6227.

 

“A Thrill of Hope” 
Friday December 15^th - 7:00 pm
Choirs of Resurrection
As we gather to celebrate the songs of this blessed season and prepare our hearts for the warming candle of Christ’s birth, the choir will present Joel Raney’s “A Thrill of Hope” accompanied by chamber orchestra.
  Our church will reverberate with the time-honored carols of our faith, beautifully complimented by meaningful Scriptures, as we celebrate the Advent and Christmas seasons as a parish community.
