NEW FROM EFSP: DIANE McBAIN

Diane McBain

On the morning of 21 December 2022, American actress Diane McBain (1941-2022) passed away. As a bouncy, blonde-coiffed Warner Brothers starlet, she reached a brief peak of popularity during the early 1960s as a "bad girl" and "spoiled rich girl". She was best known for playing an adventurous socialite in the television series Surfside 6 (1960–1962) and as one of Elvis Presley's leading ladies in Spinout (1966).

THE ANNUAL REQUEST: A 2015 CROTON-ON-HUDSON EPIPHANY TALE...

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

THE ANNUAL REQUEST---FROM 2015

There was some excitement at Holy Name of Mary's life-sized outdoor nativity this morning. Read on...

A note from Holy Name....

Baby Jesus went missing from the Nativity scene in front of the Church on this snowy morning.

The police were called and a police report was submitted. This had happened before, back in 2012. We never got the baby Jesus back then, and had to purchase a replacement.

But this time was different... the baby hadn't actually been stolen.

It was 'relocated'.

Someone thought the Baby might need a break from hanging with the sheep, and would be happier in the arms of his 'godfather', a wise man who had come to leave Him a gift. (CLICK ON THE PHOTO).

The police were very understanding.

Blessings on the Epiphany and on Sunday: the baptism of the lord.
