Vocation reflections

Jesus is the Bread of Life who strengthens us for our journey today.  We are called to be imitators of God and follow the way of love.  What way are you following Jesus?  How can you imitate God and be food for others in the name of Jesus?  Think about becoming a priest, deacon, religious sister or brother!

If so, please contact the Vocations Office at 973-497-4365 or by e-mail at platebri@rcan.org or visit our website at www.rcan.org.

SCRIPTURE  REFLECTION
Stewardship is planned giving and does not leave giving to chance.  It challenges us to plan.  It asks us to appraise - deliberately - what we are doing with our time, our talent, and our treasure.
