End-of-Year Charitable Giving As we near the end of the year, it’s time to think about tax planning. Don’t forget that most people can take advantage of charitable gifts, like gifts to Maternity B.V.M. Church, by deducting part of them from your yearly tax liability. As you review your end-of-year finances, please remember your Parish in your charitable priorities. Please Also Remember Our ‘SPONSOR-A-STUDENT’ Program Here At Maternity B.V.M. School in Your End-of-Year Charitable Giving Consider a much-needed gift of Catholic Education for a child in this Parish! Sponsor-A-Student is a program that provides tuition assistance for deserving children of our Parish who desire a Catholic Education. Gifting Levels include: ____ Full Tuition Sponsorship $2,300 ____ Half Tuition Sponsorship $1,150 ____ Partial Tuition Sponsorship $575 ____ Additional assistance $300 ____ $200 ____ Other $ _____ All donations are tax-deductible and can be made monthly, quarterly or annually. If you have any questions, please contact Fr. Quinter directly at 215-673-8127. Winter Policies at Maternity B.V.M. Church The Cold and Flu Season is upon us! During the winter months, we will dispense from a hand-shake at the Sign of Peace; a friendly smile and respectful gesture will suffice. Severe Weather Conditions Severe, snowy weather on weekends will affect our Mass schedule. If this occurs, Masses will not be cancelled in the Upper Church, but may be moved to the Lower Chapel. However, Mass at 10:30 AM in the Old Church (first Sunday of month) will be cancelled. Also, please: no parking in any church lots at any time, especially during the winter. It is a liability and seriously impedes effective snow removal. Thank you! CERTIFICATE PROGRAM One-Stop Shop: Buy SCRIP for Gifts! Certificates & gift cards make great stocking stuffers, too. If you have to go to stores, don’t forget to stop in and get Certificates for your favorite shops! SCRIP is sold in Rectory Meeting Room 1. Sunday: 8:45 AM to 12:30 PM (Drop-off forms are available for quicker pick-up); Monday-Thursday: 9-11 AM; Friday: 8-11 AM; Saturday: 9:30-11:30 AM; Thursday evening: 6:30-8:30 PM For the holiday schedule, see page 3. Stewardship & Our Fall Appeal Fall is ending; winter is here! If you haven’t responded to our Fall Appeal, here’s a last call. We can use your help! Appeal forms are at all Church exits. Your Christmas Offering Is Deeply Appreciated! Your generosity to our Christmas collection has always been outstanding. We thank you in advance for your kindness and giving. It will be especially needed when the snow plowing bills start coming in. Most importantly, please keep doing your best in living the Catholic faith every day and at Mass each Sunday. Again, many thanks for your goodness and generosity! PLEASE NOTE: Due to the Christmas Holiday, this week’s Parish Bulletin went to press on Thursday, December 12, and no collection figures for the weekend of December 21/22 were available; they will be in next week’s Bulletin. 090 Maternity BVM 6
