SOUPER BOWL COLLECTION by Confirmation Candidates

Confirmation candidates will be collecting at the doors of all the CCNCC churches during the weekend of February 12 and 13. The funds collected will help our candidates with their service projects during the next few months. “Souper Bowl” is a nationwide initiative to provide meals to the food insecure that takes place on Super Bowl weekend each year. Our candidates and their families will be providing food to the Joseph Outreach Van, Joseph House Shelter, and Sidewalk Warriors.

The Sacrament of Confirmation for all young people in Columbia County will be celebrated by Bishop Edward Scharfenberger on Sunday, May 22, at 3 pm at St. James Church in Chatham.

The Ceremony of Light for Confirmation candidates and their families will be held on Saturday, May 15 at 7 pm at the Church of St. Joseph, Stuyvesant

Sidewalk Warriors

The extremely cold weather also means that there is a need for NEW thermal tops/ bottoms and thinsulated gloves for people helped by this organization. Please help in whatever way you can. The need continues for food, as well as reusable bags and Ziplock style food bags. All donations can be dropped off at the CCNCC offices at 1025 Kinderhook Street in Valatie.
