Vocation reflections
The
light came into the world that people might be saved through him. And yet,
many prefer darkness to light. Are you willing to bring light to the
world? Do you wish to shatter the darkness and help others to live the
truth? If so, then say yes to serving God as a priest, deacon or
religious.
If you feel this call, “inquire within” and Please contact the Vocations Office the Vocations Office at (973) 497-4365 or by E-mail at kellyric@rcan.org. Or visit our web site at www.rcan.org.

STEWARDSHIP
STEWARDSHIP
SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
God
pardons and raises up those who have been unfaithful, those who have loved the
darkness rather than the light. For
God so loved the world that he sent his only Son to deliver the world from
exile.

HOLY
HOUR FOR PRIESTS
Every Tuesday the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in the church from 3 to 4 p.m. It is an hour of prayer for the priests, DIVINE MERCY and religious men and women of the church. Prayers are also said for an increase of vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
We invite you to come and spend time with the Lord for these intentions and for your personal requests. The Holy Hour closes with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. If you cannot join us in church, we ask you to join us from a quiet spot in your home and pray with us, asking the Lord to guide and protect our priests.
Stations of the Cross
During the Lenten Season, there will be Stations of the Cross in Church on Fridays at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. beginning March 7th and ending April 11th.

altar. While beautifying the church
for the Easter Season through the generosity of your donation, you will also be
