BINGO

Every Wednesday � Holy Name Social Center

Alderman Street 7:00-10:00 pm

Doors open at 4:00 pm � Bring a friend!

We need paper bags!

 

Social Center Lettering.....

 

We now have lettering up that says, �Holy Name Social Center� on the front side of the building (Alderman Street) and on the parking lot side as well.� The Alderman Street side also now contains our address.� This is important because Fire and Police need an address and a building name to respond to calls.� Before this month, we had nothing on our Social Center to identify it.� This will also help those who are visiting our Social Center for basketball and other events.� Often they find it difficult to determine if that was the correct building.� We are grateful to have this lettering for safety and identification purposes.

 

The money for this project was donated by Holy Name parishioner Mrs. Josephine Fontaine in memory of her grandson, Tyler Ugolyn, who was killed in the World Trade Center on September 11th.�� Mrs. Fontaine called Fr. John Connors a few months ago to discuss a donation.� After hearing that Tyler was a 24-year old basketball coach of youth sports it was determined that putting lettering up would be a fitting memorial on a building that provides so much basketball for youth in our community.� As noted above, this new lettering is desperately needed and can provide a sense of pride for our Holy Name community.� We are grateful to Mrs. Fontaine for her generosity.� The 8:15am Saturday morning Mass on September 11th will be offered for her grandson, Tyler.�
