Remembering Maureen McManus

With the third anniversary of Maureen’s passing approaching, the Food Giving Ministry would like to honor Maureen’s tremendous impact on our parish by renaming this ministry in her memory.

We are soliciting YOUR suggestions to engage the parish in this process.

By Sunday October 6, submit your suggestion(s) via email (info@holycrossdewitt.org), or put the slip of paper provided in pews in the collection baskets during Mass or in the receptacles in the back of church.

We will compile suggestions (reserving the option to combine very similar ones) & develop a voting ballot.

On October 26-27, ballots will be distributed in pews, collected after Mass, responses counted, and results announced during the Nov 2-3 food giving weekend.

We look forward to your creative suggestions!
