• Five of our nine Soccer Challenge winners showed up for the District 8 Shootout Meet on Oct 1st and all five advanced to the next round held on Oct 23rd at the East Islip Westbrook Sports Facility.
• Our Essay Contest winner, Kevin Shepherd was presented with his well deserved award and was recognized at the 9:00am Mass, Sunday October 10th. See pictures below.
• Four of our five District 8 Soccer Challenge winners were present for the Suffolk County competition held October 23rd with two advancing to the finals at West Point held on Sunday, November 7th. Congratulations to Gladys Sanchez, the winner of the 12 year old girls and Sophia Colavito the 13 year old girls winner. 
• Our Winter Blood Drive was held on Tuesday, 28 December. We had over 55 registered donors and Whole Blood donations along with (Alyx) Automated Red Cell donations brought our pints collected total to 50. Thank you to all who came even though we were not able to provide meat ball heros because of Covid concerns.
• Our Pastor, Msgr. Rick has transferred his membership in the Knights of Columbus to our own St. Joseph the Carpenter Council. He has been a Knight over twenty years longer than me even though I'm almost ten years older than he is. Which just proves you're never too young or too old to become a Knight. And just to underline that fact, Joe Miller who has been a Knight longer than Msgr. Rick and me combined has just put in his application to become a 4th Degree Knight!
• Be well, stay safe and pray for our parish and all its parishoners for God's blessings as we enter the second month of the New Year.
