Looking to Make Miracles Happen at Bergen Point

By Lauren Bull
Journal Staff Writer

Big things are happening on Fifth Street and Broadway.

Trinity Parish at Bergen Point launched its "Miracle on 5th Street" campaign this past July with plans to construct a two-story building to house training and industry programs for developmentally disabled and autistic adults. Additionally, there are plans to expand the already existing community hall, thrift shop and food pantry, and to build an entirely new community center.

Octoberfest

The Windmill Center invites you to come and celebrate with us as part of the "Octoberfest" sponsored by Bayonne Downtown Merchants.

Come to Trinity Parish, 141 Broadway, on Saturday, Oct. 6, and have your picture taken in Bayonne's one and only Pumpkin Patch, with pumpkins, ghosts and goblins. Photos are only $3.

Baked goods, crafts, raffles and candies will also be offered for sale.

Challenge Total

The final tally is in: Highways has exceeded the challenge grant goal from the Linden Foundation by raising nearly $27,700 since Nov. 15! This will bring an additional $5,000 in support of our social service outreach.

Our thanks again to everyone for your generous support.
