DEAR SUN SPOTS: Addressing the request for where to donate used furniture: The Prince of Peace Catholic parish church bulletin featured a request for such items for Father Sevigny’s ministry. More details can be found on their website where you can find a copy of that particular bulletin. The number to call is listed there. Thanks. — No name, no town
ANSWER: Thank you for this information. Father Sevigny posted this notice in the Oct. 6 parish bulletin (princeofpeace.me/bulletins): “Greetings, often enough parishioners approach me and ask: How can I help in your ministry??? At this time, we are in need of many household items along with any furniture such as beds, bureaus, table and chairs, etc. You may contact Fr. Michael at 1-347-752-3700 if you have any donations. Thank you in advance for your kind support and generosity. Many blessings!”
