Welcome All! Bienvenue!
READ our PARISH BULLETIN Page 1 Page 2 (see Bulletin Archive for past issues.
“We are three communities in the rural Northeast Kingdom of Vermont towns of Hardwick, Craftsbury, and Greensboro Bend who’ve come together to pray as one Parish Family. In a land both breathtakingly beautiful and at times harsh, community is as necessary as it is wide spread. Many families in our parish have been with us for generations, some just a few months. We all have our part to play”.”

December 8th:
The 4:00 PM Mass on Saturday, December 8th, will be for the feast of the Immaculate Conception which is a Holy Day of Obligation. Your Sunday obligation can only be fulfilled by going to Mass on Sunday, December 9th .
St. Norbert MQAS Giving Tree: Tags are on the trees with a description of what is needed. If interested in participating, please remove a tag, complete the section asking for your name and phone number and place it in the box next to the tree. Keep the section describing the item needed and return it with your wrapped gift no later than December 16th. In addition, there are food tags on the tree. If you wish to take one, there is a sheet which you may sign up for a particular food item. Please consider making a child’s Christmas special. Questions can be directed to Ellen Demers, 279-6070. Thank you in advance for helping our local families.
Advent Appeal – 2018: Please join Vermont Catholic Charities in supporting the Annual Advent Appeal. The “Season of Giving “has no bounds for people in need. Whatever the season, it is a daily struggle for many Vermonters to maintain housing, stay warm or feed their families. With your help, we can make a difference in lives of those living on the edge. Help people like Sharon avoid homelessness.
Sharon is a mom of a four-year old girl and recently left an abusive relationship. Due to this turmoil, she had fallen behind on rent and faced an eviction notice. We assisted with her rent, so she and her daughter could remain in their home. Whether your gift is $10, $100, $1,000 or more, your gift will make a difference in the life of a needy family.
To donate, please mail a check to Vermont Catholic Charities, 55 Joy Drive, South Burlington, VT 05403, or give online at www.vermontcatholic.org/adventappeal. Church Christmas Decorating: We will be decorating St. Norbert’s for Christmas after the 8:30 AM Mass on Sunday, December 16th. Volunteers are welcome!
Reminder: The 2019 and 2020 Mass Books are here.
