Page 8 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • March 3, 2010 Park Windmill Foundation reschedules meeting The Midland Park Public Education Foundation’s Founders Recognition event and public information meeting, which was cancelled last Thursday due of inclement weather, has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 4 at 8 p.m. in the Midland Park High School Media Center. Nativity hosts Masses for differently-abled Catholic Masses for differently-abled individuals will be held at Church of the Nativity in Midland Park on Sundays, March 7, and April 18, with Great Communion May 9 and June 13. Receptions follow Mass. These Masses are specifically for families with members who are differently-abled. Many people who are challenged behaviorally, mentally, or physically may have difficulty in traditional Sunday Mass environments, so the families are unable to worship together and may avoid Mass altogether. These are the families we are welcoming to attend these Masses and celebrate the Eucharist with other members of the surrounding community.
