Knights of Columbus Holy Name Council 4783, in partnership with Holy Name of Jesus Church, is collecting winter hats and gloves for the local charity, CHiPS. Please wrap your donations separately and place them in the box marked “KofC / HNJ Hats & Gloves” in the vestibule of the Church as soon as possible. All gifts must be in the box no later than Monday, December 18 to ensure Members of the KofC can deliver the packages to CHiPS in time for Christmas.

Thank you for your support!

This year, we are collecting toys to help Catholic Charities of Brooklyn & Queens make Christmas a bit brighter for the people they serve.
Please take a gift tag from the tree and bring in your unwrapped toy(s) as soon as you can. All gifts must be placed in the box marked “Catholic Charities” in the Church vestibule by Monday, December 18 to ensure the children will receive them in time for Christmas, but bringing them even earlier will be a big help!

Gift cards are also greatly appreciated. If you do opt for gift cards, we urge you to deliver them to the Rectory Office or place them in the Collection Baskets as Mass to prevent them from being lost. Please do not place gift cards in the Toy Box.

Thank you for your kindness!
