Playgroup will have a new day this year! We will now meet on Thursdays starting October 17th from 9:30-11:00 a.m. Christina Kalmanson will be running playgroup this year with her son. If you are interested in helping with Playgroup on Thursday mornings, feel free to show up during Playgroup and speak to Christina. Playgroup is currently looking for a vacuum (in good condition) and ride on cars and big wheels to be donated. You can leave them in the office of the church with a note attached stating it is for Playgroup. Contact Debbie Rago in the church office with any questions. Playgroup is a great way for parents and kids to mingle and make life long friends. It is truly is a blessing in the cold and dreary months to enjoy a big warm gym with lots of toys and local families having fun. It's a only a $30.00 donation to the church to join and the covers the entire school calendar once we start up! Hope to see you there!

The Health, Safety and Security Committee of the HNM Pastoral Council is updating policies and procedures for emergencies in the church, gymnasium, chapel, parish center building and parish house (rectory). If you have special skills, training and experience in coping with medical emergencies (doctors, nurses, medical technicians), fire emergencies (firemen and women), or security breaches (police officers, military personnel), we invite you to join the HNM Immediate Responders. If you are willing to use your skills during emergencies at HNM, and could attend occasional training or refresher sessions, please call or text Tom Faranda (914) 924-2061, or email Maureen Poh Fitzpatrick (mbp9@columbia.edu), and tell us that you would step up and serve the HNM community in those potentially life-saving minutes before Croton Police, Fire or Emergency Medical Services can arrive and take over. Training sessions are anticipated later this year.
