Christian Service Committee - Begun in February 1990 as a merging of three Hudson parishes, this service group has continued to grow and flourish.  Along with fundraising efforts to support our parish, the group also provides hospitality for special liturgies, organizes a county-wide Christmas giving tree for nursing home residents, supplies our homebound with Easter and Christmas rememberances, hosts special dinners, and the list goes on and on.  This group is comprised of men and women aged 60 to 90+.  We welcome any and all new members.  It is not necessary to be a member of our parish, or Catholic, to join us.  We are dedicated to the 'cause' of doing good in the community.  For information on joining us, please contact the Rectory at 518-828-1334.
