St. George Appalachia 2023:
Our 40th Trip!

About Appalachia
Each summer, a group of approximately 50 teenagers and adults travels to Booneville, KY to complete construction projects for families whose homes are in need of renovation or repair. You can learn more—and see pictures of past trips—on our website, https://sites.google.com/site/stgeorgeappalachiatrip.

Join us!
If you are interested in learning more about Appalachia, please join us at 7 PM on Monday, March 20th in the Church Hall. We will discuss all of the logistics of the trip, as well as share our philosophy of volunteerism, community, compassion, and faith. This year, our trip will run June 22nd through July 2nd. It always helps us to get a preliminary headcount – whether or not you can attend the Informational Meeting, please let us know if you are interested in the trip by going to https://sites.google.com/site/stgeorgeappalachiatrip and filling out the Google form.

Support us!
If you are unable to participate in Appalachia but would like to support our tradition of service, there are many ways to contribute! Each year, we use borrowed vehicles to travel to and from Booneville, and we are always in need of 7-8 passenger vehicles. We are also grateful for any financial support, as we raise all of our own funds each year.  Please contact Katharine Conroy at katharine.h.conroy@gmail.com or John Santoro at john.r.santoro@gmail.com to learn more about how we care for our loaner vehicles and how our funds are used.

Thank you so much in advance for your continued support!

St. Joseph Feast Day Celebration
Monday, March 20, 2023

Please join us as we celebrate St. Joseph, the husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus.  He is also the Patron of the Universal Church. We will begin our celebration with Mass at 8:30 am. Immediately following, we will gather in the Church Hall where Fr. Dillon will bless the St. Joseph Altar and foods. Breakfast will be served.

St. Joseph’s altars is a Sicilian tradition that was brought over to America in the 1800s.  The Sicilians prayed to their patron saint, St. Joseph, to send rain and end their starvation due to a drought.  The rains came and the only sustainable crop was the fava bean. In thanksgiving to St. Joseph, they prepared a special table in their homes with foods they had harvested.  After paying honor to St. Joseph, they distributed the food to those less fortunate.

Can you help?  We are looking for donations of homemade cookies, non-perishable food items, and monetary contributions for the delicious Italian pastry treats called zeppoles, etc. Please email Charlene Carson at chyinct@yahoo.com and kindly put St. Joseph’s Day in the subject line.

The Knights of Columbus will once again be making pancakes for us. We are asking for a headcount by March 15th.

For planning purposes, kindly call the St. George office at 203-453-2788 with your name, phone number, email, and the number of people attending.

For monetary donations: checks should be made payable to St. George. The memo field should indicate: St. Joseph’s Day Celebration. Checks may be dropped in the collection baskets at Mass in an envelope labeled “Office – St. Joseph’s Celebration, dropped in the  black lock box  outside the Sullivan Center, brought into the office or mailed.
