A VERY SUCCESSFUL ADVENT MISSION AT HOLY NAME OF MARY

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short,

EVERYTHING CROTON.

Successful Advent Mission!

Thank you to Fr. Erik and Fr. Fred, Capuchin priests, who led our Mission this year for three evenings during the second week of Advent. Our Mission was attended by about 275 people who appreciated the beautiful and uplifting Advent experience! Thank you also to John Milcetic who facilitated the Mission and who, together with his wife Kathy, hosted time for refreshments after wards with baked goods lovingly prepared by a few special parishioners. See the following message sent by Fr. Erik and Fr. Fred to the parish: “Dear Holy Name of Mary, It was a great blessing for the Capuchins to present the parish Advent mission. We are grateful for our long partnership to serve youth and families. Let us continue to pray for each other. There is a men’s retreat in January and women’s retreat in February.

Information can be found on.our.website. info@capuchin.org

Peace and goodwill, Fr. Erik and Fr. Fred.”

YES, IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR---JEAN SHEPHERD'S "A CHRISTMAS STORY"--1983

Yes, it's that time of year---when assorted channels will be blissfully playing Jean Shepherd's A CHRISTMAS STORY. (Check your local listings.)

A Christmas Story is a 1983 Christmas comedy film directed by Bob Clark and based on the 1966 book In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash by Jean Shepherd, with some elements from his 1971 book Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories and Other Disasters. It stars Melinda Dillon, Darren McGavin, and Peter Billingsley, and follows a young boy and his family's misadventures during Christmas time in the 1940s. It is the third installment in the Parker Family Saga.

A Christmas Story was released on November 18, 1983, and received positive reviews from critics. Filmed partly in Canada, the film earned two Canadian Genie Awards in 1984. Widely considered a holiday classic in the United States and Canada, it has been shown in a marathon annually on TNT since 1997 and on TBS since 2004 titled "24 Hours of A Christmas Story", consisting of 12 consecutive airings of the film from the evening of Christmas Eve to the evening of Christmas Day. In 2012, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.
