Help to maintain a longstanding Polish Catholic tradition by acknowledging relatives, friends, and colleagues who are celebrating their “name day,” corresponding with the feast day of a saint of the same name. Where there is more than one saint of the same name who has been assigned a day, your “name day” is the one closest to your birthday. It is customary in the Polish tradition to acknowledge the name day of a relative or friend:
October 12: Maksymilian, Witold
October 13: Daniel, Edward, Mikołaj
October 14: Alan, Bernard, Dominik
October 15: Jadwiga, Teresa
October 16: Aurelia, Gerard, Grzegorz

Szanowni Państwo / Dear Friends:
RE: SPONSORING BUNDLES OF SHINGLES FOR THE NEW ROOF
St. Mary’s Polish Parish is in the middle of a major fund-raising campaign so that we can complete a much-needed new roof in the very near future. Total costs will be approximately $40,000.
We are proud to be stewards not only of a beautiful historic landmark (a protected heritage property, with a rare designation from the Province of Nova Scotia) but a vibrant and welcoming place of faith with a special sense of community and distinctive customs that we are blessed to share with everyone.
As one of our fund-raising efforts, we are inviting parishioners and friends of the parish to sponsor bundles of shingles at $25 per bundle. If you wish, you can sponsor the bundles in memory of a loved one. Names of sponsors (and IMO names, if applicable) will be listed on a permanent plaque in the church.
Please feel free to use the Roof Fund envelopes, which can be deposited into the Sunday collection or mailed to the parish. Charitable tax receipts will be provided (at the same time as general collection tax receipts, in February or early March).
Thank you kindly for any support you can give to this important collective effort. May God bless you and your families.
Bóg zapłać! ------ Rada Duszpasterska (Parish Council) of St. Mary’s Polish Church
