Let Us
Pray For Those Seriously Ill Vocation reflections As
Jesus entered Jerusalem, the people shouted Hosanna! Blessed is he who
comes in the name of the Lord! By the end of the week, the people shouted
crucify him, crucify him! Still today, some do not follow Jesus, they show
anger or resentment toward faith. Are you willing to work to turn this
anger into shouts of joy? Consider doing this as a priest, deacon or
religious sister or brother. 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.

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.
