The poinsettias and greenery that adorn the altar and sanctuary at St. Martin’s during the Christmas season enhance the beauty and holiness of our Church and remind us of the spirit of love and joy that this time of year represents.
We would like to invite all parishioners to donate towards the costs of these decorations and also to participate in the “Greening of the Church” on Saturday, December 23 at 9am.
Please send your donations to the Church Office (1350 Washington Valley Rd, Bridgewater, NJ 08807) and email the church to let the office know of your donation (stmartinschurchnj@gmail.com).
