Memorial Day Mass “Serving God and Country: A Memorial Day Salute to Our Heroes”
As the country celebrates Memorial Day, Our Lady of Angels Cemetery joins thousands of Catholic cemeteries across the United States in a national celebration, “Serving God and Country: A Memorial Day Salute to Our Heroes.” This national program, developed by the Catholic Cemetery Conference, honors men and women who died while serving in the armed forces, as well as recognizing both active duty military and veterans.
Please join us for this special Mass celebrated by Reverend John Bradley on Monday, May 29, at 10am at Our Lady of Angels Cemetery, 1389 Central Avenue in Colonie. The Memorial Day Mass will take place outside, under a large tent, rain or shine. Veterans are invited each year to serve as lectors and Eucharistic Ministers, and participate in the presentation of gifts. Veterans attending the Mass are offered special lapel pins.
For more information about our Memorial Day Mass including volunteer opportunities for the service, please call (518) 374-5319.
Change The World 2023
The First United Methodist Church of East Greenbush, located at 1 Gilligan Road in East Greenbush has an exciting May planned.
This coming May marks the tenth anniversary of participation in Change the World. What started in 2014 with a one-day event has now grown into a month-long series of events, all designed to share God’s love with our neighbors. Originally designed as an attempt to get church-goers out of their pews and into the community to demonstrate our faith, the interest and excitement continues. Once again this year activities are being planned throughout the month of May including some favorites from past years as well as some new events.
We are looking forward to hosting our first “Moonbee” on May 20. A “Moonbee” is a sewing-bee where volunteers create washable menstrual management kits for distribution to girls around the world living in poverty. (No sewing experience is necessary. There are jobs for everyone!) Here’s what the Change the World planning group has scheduled so far.
