PHOTOS FROM THE 2016 GOD SQUAD SLEEP-OUT & KofC POST-SLEEP-OUT BREAKFAST

Welcome to Everything Croton--a collection of all things Croton, our history, our homes, our issues, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

Well another God Squad Sleep-out to Raise Awareness of Homelessness event has come and gone at Holy Name of Mary. This year the God Squad added a GOFUNDME page to their fundraising efforts, as well as a "pop-up" food collection at Shoprite for Fred's Food Pantry in Peekskill.  And as always, the Knights of Columbus were on hand to offer the post-sleep-out breakfast. Click on the photos below.

Kudos as always to these great kids!

BTW, The Knights of Columbus are currently having a membership drive; for more info: http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2016/12/knights-of-columbus-membership-drive.html

NATIVITY PUTZ, VINTAGE & NEW

Always worth re-visting - This lovely set of photos entitled THE NATIVITY PROJECT 2011 is from our friend Brian Apuzzo--it's a collection of assorted nativities/creche scenes he photographed in 2011, both indoor and out.

We thought you'd enjoy seeing them again. There are some exceptional pieces here: http://bit.ly/2goQJBB
