Hurricane Irene luckily didn’t damage our church property. The window wells and sump pump we recently installed were very effective. As you know from the mass media, there were many families and businesses flooded in Woodland Park and other towns along the Passaic River. Several people were evacuated. The devastation was terrible. In helping victims of the flood we began a Food Drive on Sunday September 4, 2011 which will continue through September 25, 2011. Please bring non perishable food items to the parish hall which will be given to Father English Food Pantry.
The Parish Committee decided to donate anonymously to a family from our parish. In addition we decided to donate $1,000 to the volunteer West Paterson Fire Department who was there for our town during this difficult time.
Passaic County, in conjunction with the Federal Food Stamp Disaster Program, announced that flood victims can submit their application on Monday, September 12, 2011 from 4-8PM at the Woodland Park municipal building, 5 Brophy Lane in order to receive food stamps.
