The A & R Society does a lot for our Church, possibly more than you may realize. It collaborates with agencies who perform community outreach, organizes the Annual Spaghetti Dinner, coordinates a Baby Shower every May to help mothers in need, hosts the Annual Communion Brunch, and keeps the Church's linens, Altar and Sacristy organized and shining... amongst many other things. It is also a social organization with lunches, dinners and fellowship.
It uses the money it raises to help such organizations as the Irvington Senior Center and the Yonkers Food Pantry. Finally, it has donated items to our Church - Altar Candles, Altar Linens, the Tabernacle, the Lectern, the Baptismal Font Cover, the Processional Cross and Candles, choir robes, and tables and chairs for general use.
So, now that you know that magic doesn’t only happen in books, consider being a part of our magic.
