The Knights of Columbus in New Jersey are looking for donations to help send active duty military personnel home for the holidays. It's the Knights' seventh year buying bus, train and plane tickets for service members. In the past six years, they've raised in excess of $200,000 to get 360 Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guard members to their families.

It’s that time of year already, and once we are calling upon the generosity of the parishioners of Saint Ann and Saint Michael to come to the aid of our neighbors. On Monday evening, November 25, 2019 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, members of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society will be at the FRONT of the Church of Saint Ann collecting FROZEN turkeys. Saint Michael’s should also bring their donated turkeys to Saint Ann’s.

Please drop off all food donations by November 20, 2019
