Our Church
Loving Christ, Loving Others
We are a welcoming Catholic community called by God to live out the message of Christ in love and service to all people. Our parish mission is:
To proclaim the Gospel of Christ to our local community in word, deed, and truth.
Florence Bank continues to offer a program that annually distributes $125,000 among local non-profit organizations. They call it their Annual Customers' Choice Community Grants. Any qualifying nonprofit organization that receives 50 or more customer votes receives a proportional share of the funds. Historically many non-profits have been awarded between $1,000 and $5,000. In 2022 Our Lady of the Hills Parish received $5,000 because you voted for us! Way-to-Go! The Finance Council urges parishioners to participate again on behalf of OLH by voting. Voting is available online at https://www.florencebank.com/vote

Giving Tree
The giving tree will again be set up this holiday season on the weekend of November 30- December 1 for the children and families of 18 Degrees (formally called Berkshire Children and Family Service), the residents of the River Valley Rest Home in Florence and the Goshen Hilltown Food Pantry. Any parishioner who is interested in providing a gift is asked to choose a tag off the tree and return with the gift and place it under the tree by December 15th. The tag includes the first name, age and size of the child and the child's wish. All gifts or toys should be new. Attach a with the name of the Staff name, child's name, age and sex and the donor code (OLTH) and list complete contents. You can reattach the original tag which you took from the tree as an alternative. No personal message other than holiday greetings should be included. The gifts for the rest home residents should be tagged with recipient name and destination. Again, you can use the originally tag. Thank you for your support of this ministry!

Rummage Sale report
This year our parish saw a profit of $3,103.32 from our rummage sale. We are blessed with a great group of workers who volunteer many hours of their time to make this event happen. You are special. Thank you so much.
Thank you also to the Annunciation Thrift Shop, the Hampshire Support Alliance, and the Salvation Army for taking our unsold items post sale. With the parish behind us, we hope to continue this worthwhile fund raising event. Thank you. Your Social Committee
