This year for Advent and Christmas, we are starting a new tradition here at Our Lady of Mount Virgin. In addition to our crѐche lighting, we will now have a Christmas Tree Memorial Lighting. We will celebrate the Christmas season by illuminat- ing the perimeter of our church with beautiful six-foot fresh cut Christmas trees with white lights.
We are offering the opportunity to dedicate a Christmas tree on behalf of a loved one, living or deceased, or for a personal family Christmas greeting. The trees will be affixed with a plaque containing the name or names to be memorialize. The cost to memorialize. The cost to memorialize one of the trees is $200.
The Christmas tree lighting will take place on December 10, 2022 after the Vigil Mass for the Third Sunday of Advent, also known as, Gaudete Sunday. There is a reason to rejoice! The birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is on the horizon.
This will be a great opportunity for our OLMV community to come together and celebrate the real reason for the season. There will be Christmas music, hot chocolate, and plenty of reasons to rejoice!
The number of trees is limited so please contact the parish of- fice to reserve yours now or if you have any other information
The Rosary is prayed every Tuesday and Thursday after the 12:00 noon Mass. All parishioners are invited to join in this most devout form of prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary for peace and the preservation of freedom in the United States.
With summertime and vacation time upon us, please consider joining our parish online giving program. This is the safest and most convenient way to ensure the financial stability of the parish over the summer months when many of our parishioners are on vacation. You can make your gift payable on a recurring basis, so that you support the parish even while you are away. Remember, parish expenses do not decrease over the summer months! Making a donation is easy. Simply go to this link. You can select either a one-time or a recurring gift. Even though you will not be using envelopes, please make sure to include your envelope number when you sign up to ensure that you get properly credited for your donation.
Wishing you and your family a happy and safe summer! God bless.
Please make use of our Meditation Garden. What a beautiful spot to spend a few minutes with our Lord! Our Meditation Garden and Remembrance Walkway project is ongoing, and bricks can be ordered at any time. The next placement of bricks will be during the summer. Remembrance bricks are a beautiful way to remember loved ones or special moments in our lives.
All volunteers are reminded that if their volunteer work at the parish involves working with children, unless each child’s parent or guardian accompanies their child for the entire time, the volunteer needs to have been fingerprinted and have gone through the Protecting God’s Children program, and their credentials must be up to date and on file with our Safe Environment Coordinator at OLMV (Ms. Zmigrodski). Also, no photos that include children may be included on any social media website or platform or in any publication without the prior written consent of the parent or guardian. Many thanks for your understanding and cooperation
While online giving is the best and easiest way to make offertory and special contributions to the parish, many thanks also to all who use the offertory envelopes for making their weekly and special contributions to the parish.
Collection envelopes are currently sent out every other month to about 1300 families in the parish. This is far more than the number of families that actually use them. In order to cut costs and waste, we are in the process of discontinuing envelopes being sent to any family that has not used its envelopes since January, 2019. You should still retain your envelope number and use it whenever you add or make changes to online giving or make a note of the envelope number on the memo line of your check if you make a contribution by check. If for some reason you would still like to receive envelopes, please call Patty in the parish office.
The best way to support the parish is to enroll in our online giving program. Through this program you can determine your donation amount, select the funds or funds of your choice to which to donate, determine the method of payment, and set the frequency of payments (one-time or recurring). Many thanks for your prayerful support and generosity.
