Vocation reflections
 In
today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches the crowd of people.
He says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, blessed are they who
mourn, blessed are they who are persecuted.”
His words need to be taught to the people of today.
Will you answer God’s call to teach as a priest, deacon, or
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. |

HOLY
HOUR
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.

Enrichment Weekend
Lent
is coming - what are you doing? Scripture
tells us that Jesus went to the desert for 40 days to prepare himself for
his public ministry by being alone with his Father.
He needed a solid relationship to face the challenges ahead.
Lent is the traditional time to work on our relationship with God
through prayer and works of penance. But
what about your relationship with your spouse
Want to work on that to help face the challenges of life in the
modern world? Try a weekend for
just the two of you - not forty days, not in a desert but a comfortable
hotel, a real opportunity to rediscover and strengthen your relationship.
This opportunity is brought to you by Marriage Encounter - making
good relationships better. For
reservations or more information, please call Sal and Sylvia Vassallo at
973-857-8184. Call now, space
may be limited. 2004
Anniversary Liturgies
Those couples celebrating their 5th, 25th, or 50th wedding anniversary in 2004 have the opportunity to celebrate with a special Mass in Newark. If interested, please contact the rectory. |
