you can buy a “brick” posted on a fireplace at Catholic Charities. All donations go directly to emergency assistance for home heating. Bricks are available at the Cobleskill office at 489 West Main St. or by calling 518-234-3581. Or, you can put your donation/check made out to “Catholic Charities” into the collection at Mass in an envelope clearly marked “Catholic Charities Bricks” and we will deliver it to Catholic Charities. Thank you for thinking of our neighbors this winter!
