We have a wonderful tradition here at Notre Dame of sharing fellowship in our Gatherintg Space after Sunday Masses. It gives us all an opportunity to "meet old friends and make a some new ones!" There are also donuts and coffee available during these times which simply add so much to this special time of fellowship.
The angels behind this special time are a dedicated group of parishioners who:- Take turns picking up the donuts at a local shop each Saturday evening (between 4:30-5:30pm) and bringing back to the church that same evening for Sunday morning. Click here for specific details.
- Get up early on Sunday morning and head over to the church to get that coffee brewing and put out the donuts at the table, to have it available for the 7:30am congregants.
Many hands make light work! Would you like to give back to your parish family and help bring forth that spirit of welcome and hospitality? Service in this ministry is not a significant time commitment. Given the number of members available, you may be asked to serve only once a month!
- If you can enter the donut pick-up rotation, please contact Ginny Connolly at connollyvp@gmail.com; 973-335-9514 (H); 973-600-9977 (C).
- If you can help setting up the coffee and iced tea on Sunday morning before the 7:30am Mass, please contact John Welch at jjwelchyr@gmail.com.
- If you can assist with clean-up after the 12:15pm Mass, please contact Ron Borrillo at borrillo@verizon.net.
Clean up After Sunday Masses Hospitality
We enlist the support of a few folks who offer just a bit of extra time and dedication after the 12;15pm Mass, to help clean-up from Sunday Masses hospitality: vacuum the carpet in the Gathering Space, clear the donuts, coffee & tea containers, wipe tables and put them away..
With a few helpers at hand, this can be taken care of in 15 to 20 minutes (Click HERE for specific instructions.). With a nice group of folks on the list of available helpers, each would only be scheduled to help every so often.
Would you like to lend a hand? Please call our parish office at 973-538-1358, ext. 105.or email us at commsupport@ndcarmel.com, or click HERE to sign up to help!
