Turn Your Home From
A Tax Sponge Into A Tax Deduction
Are you tired of paying taxes on your home? Did you know
that you can get a tax deduction for a portion of your home’s value to help
offset these taxes? You can do this,
continue to live in your home and support the work of your parish at the same
time.
If you want to know more about
this, the Diocese can provide free assistance.

FOR
SAFETY SAKE
For your safety
as well as the safety of others, we ask your cooperation with St. Victor’s,
the Police Department and the Fire Department by parking in designated areas
only. We especially need
the fire lanes to be left open and clear. (You may be ticketed!)
As a courtesy to others, we ask you to follow traffic signs in and out
of the parish grounds. Please
also obey the posted signs – Speed Limit of 5 miles per hour - when driving on the parish grounds.
We hope those few traffic rules will help keep everyone safe, and smooth
any traffic flow problems we may have.

LORD TEENS – BAKE
SALE
Next Sunday, November 23rd, St.
Victor’s U.n.I. Lord Teens will be sponsoring their 14th annual
BAKE SALE after the 7:00, 8:00, 9:15 and 10:45 A.M. and 12:15 P.M. Masses.
All items cost $5.00 each. The
teens hold this fundraiser each year to help those in need during the holiday
season. {In the past, they have been
able to provide holiday meals, groceries for several weeks, new coats or
clothing and Christmas toys and decorations for their adopt-a-family.}
Thank you in advance for your generous support of St. Victor’s teens.
God bless you.
OLIVEWOOD HANDCRAFTED ITEMS FROM THE HOLY LAND
will be available to purchase after all Masses the weekend, December 6th
& 7th. The olivewood carving industries has evolved as a cultural
tradition of Christians over many centuries.
Many Holy Land Christians in the
Bethlehem
area alone rely upon income generated from this art form, carved by the local
craftsmen. Less than 2% of the
population in that area is now Christian, as many families are now leaving the
area to find relief from the difficult conditions of their homeland. Please help
protect this very important culture and industry.
St. Victor’s School still has openings for some grades, please call them @
251-1740, for more information.

that they be presented at the altar during the offertory procession
at each Mass. Your gifts will be

for distribution to the 54 needy families of our neighborhood
throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday seasons.
Monetary donations will also be accepted. Thank you!
