National YMS of R Appeal We are calling for a winter clothing drive at each of our parishes. The majority of the parishes of the Polish National Catholic Church belong to areas that are about to be met with its most difficult weather. The Board thought a NATIONAL-church-wide drive could accomplish something that not only helps each local community, but also reflects the mission of Jesus Christ in our world today. Though a reason to be charitable is never needed, we have decided to reward the Parish who collects the most. The winning Parish will receive a monetary gift sponsored by the United Y.M.S. of R. Board, in hopes of being used to promote a fellowship activity in you parish. 1st place will receive $200.00, 2nd place $100.00, and 3rd place $50.00. As you receive clothing tems please donate them to local charitable agencies, be sure to tally what you collect and confirm your final tally with President Nick Kazinetz on or near January 20, 2020. For any further information, please contact the YMS of R diocesan representatives or president Kazinetz at (570) 604-2620 or

Nkaz20@aol.com. May the items you collect reflect the love of Jesus and the call of His gospel to continue His holy mission. The winter clothing drive begins November 1, 2019 and will conclude January 20, 2020. Drop-off place for winter clothing is the parish hall on Sundays (from 7:30 am till 12pm)

SENIORATE ADVENT PENITENTIAL SERVICE - The Advent season is a time of preparation that both directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and also to the anniversary of the Lord’s birth on Christmas. Let’s start our observance of the season with the Sacrament of Penance. On Saturday, November 30th , we’ll hold our annual Scranton Seniorate Penitential Service here in the lower chapel of the Cathedral in Scranton  at 11:00 am. A new kind of penitential service is being created for this occasion; creative, modern and with a focus on Mary, the mother of the long anticipated Messiah. Plan to be present on the 30th for the most important

of all your Christmas preparations.
