A blood donor bus from the New York Blood Center will be in the OLQM church parking lot at Austin Street and 72nd Avenue from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please show your support. By donating to a blood drive, members of our parish will be helping to meet an important community need.

I gave my blood …
Christ gave His.
I gave a pint …
He gave all.
The needle is small and sharp …
The nails were large and dull.
The table soft, relaxing …
The cross rough, painful.
The nurse’s kind and gentle…
The soldiers cruel and mean.
The crowd applauds my sacrifice …
“They that passed by reviled Him.”
Mine is O-Positive …
His for positively all.
Mine, at best will prolong a life for awhile …
His, without doubt, saved all … forever!
