Polish Wigilia (Oplatek)
The Christmas Eve Wigilia Supper forms the focal point of the Polish Yuletide customs. Wigilia, which means vigil,
commemorates the birth of Jesus. For Polish families, the meal starts when the eastern star appears through the parlor window
to serve as a guide to the Birth of Jesus in the same manner as the star of Bethlehem was a guide to the Magi!
The meal begins with the ancient tradition of breaking oplatek, a thin wafer, or bread of love. It is passed to the
various members of the family who put it to their lips and wish each other Blessings for the upcoming year.
These wafers are now available in the Rectory Office.
UNCLE AL’S THRIFT SHOP
With just two weeks to go, we should be filled with the joyous spirit of Christmas. Why is it then that the season
seems so stressful? The busy-ness of the holidays can make us focus on shopping, baking, planning and cleaning
and lose sight of the beauty, the hope and joy of Christmas. Uncle Al’s can help! No need to travel for miles, get
bleary-eyed from ordering online or from catalogs. Our amazing thrift shop has much to offer, and very possibly
you might find that perfect gift, toy, doll, book or outfit that you’ve been looking for. Take your time, browse,
walk through more than once— little treasures can be tucked into a corner. If you have an impatient shopper
with you, there are a few chairs for resting. The best part is the proceeds from Uncle Al’s benefit our own parish,
St. Joseph-Immaculate Conception! The shop at 3275 Franklin Avenue is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and
Saturday from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
Due to your overwhelming generosity, we can only accept Christmas donations at this time. Other donations
will gratefully be accepted after the New Year.
All proceeds benefit St. Joseph-Immaculate Conception Church.
March for Life Trip to Washington DC, January 18, 2019
Join the youth group from St. John’s in Pawling as we drive down to Washington DC and take a stand for
the dignity of all human life! We will leave from St. John’s at 4:00am, and arrive at DC in time for the
Rally and marching to the Supreme Court building. We will head home, with a stop for dinner, after that.
To reserve a $25.00 seat on the bus, please email Kate at [email protected] or call St. John’s
rectory at 845-855-5488 and leave your number for her.
The second collection today is for our Retired Religious. Thank you for your generosity.
