Parish Retreat At Holy Name of Mary Father Leo J. McKernan, a former pastor at Holy Name of Mary Church and the Diocesan Preacher for the Diocese of Scranton, will lead a Parish Retreat to start the Advent Season. The retreat will begin on the first Sunday of Advent, November 30, and continue for the next two evenings, each session starting at 7 p.m. and lasting about one hour. Homemade refreshments will be served in the church hall after each service. This will provide a great opportunity for former parishioners to visit with Fr. Leo. Congregations from surrounding parishes are invited to attend these special evenings at Holy Name of Mary Church, 60 South Main Street, Montrose. On Sunday, November 30, the session will begin with Father Gerry Safko singing Evensong and Father Leo will then speak on “The Call of God.” On Monday, December 1, confession will be available from 6 to 7 p.m. At 7 p.m., a mass will be celebrated with the homily given by Fr. McKernan on “The Call to Holiness and Love.” Tuesday’s session will be a special service of prayer and healing. Father McKernan’s talk will be “From the Upper Room – New Evangelization,” followed by the singing of night prayer. There will be an opportunity for individual healing, and several priests will be available for the sacrament of reconciliation. This will serve as the Advent Penance service for Holy Name of Mary. Families are encouraged to bring their children as a terrific way to prepare for the birth of Christ during this holy season. The music will be inspiring and Father McKernan is an amazing speaker. All who attend will have the opportunity to be brought closer to God.

Kiwanis Club Annual Christmas Toy Drive The Christmas season has always been a time of giving and sharing. One of the best ways to celebrate the spirit of the season is to share some of our blessings with the needy and less fortunate in our communities. The true reward for helping others in need is found in the wonderful biblical theme, “It is in giving, that we receive.” The Kiwanis Club of Montrose Area wants to provide just such an opportunity to the people of Susquehanna County. For the past 28 years, the Kiwanis Club has conducted their annual Christmas Toy Drive. Last year, over 740 children were able to enjoy Christmas in a very special way because of the generosity of so many caring neighbors and organizations that contributed to the Toy Drive. Because of the critical economic environment that currently exists in both our country and our county, it is anticipated that the need will be even greater this year. The Kiwanis Club is asking for the public’s help and support again this year in this worthwhile service project. Donations of new toys and used toys in clean, reusable condition are requested. Cash donations are urgently solicited and gladly accepted, to be used to purchase new toys in order to meet the goal of giving at least one or two new toys to each child. Cash contributions may be sent to the Kiwanis Club of Montrose Area, P.O. Box 275, Montrose, PA 18801. Toys will be accepted from now until Saturday, December 13, and may be dropped off at the following locations: Tom Kerr Chevrolet, Grow Avenue, Montrose; or Robinson’s Market, South Montrose. For additional information, contact the Montrose Kiwanis Club at 278–3537. Distribution of toys will be coordinated by the Interfaith Christmas Bureau. Christmas toys and food baskets will be given out on Thursday, December 18 at the Montrose Bible Conference, located on Lake Avenue. The Kiwanis Club of Montrose Area invites everyone to participate in this annual service project. Help make a Christmas dream come true for the needy children in our area.
The Susquehanna County commissioners announced the Courthouse will be closed on Thursday and Friday, November 27 and 28, in observance of Thanksgiving Day. All court related offices will be available.
