God bless you! On behalf of Jesus, we are inviting you to join us for Eucharistic Adoration in our Parish. Although we invite you to drop in whenever you can and for as long as you are able, we really need adorers to sign up and commit to a specific hour each Saturday. We are trying to get a minimum of 2 committed adorers per hour, so that if you are ever unable to make a Saturday during your committed hour, your partner can cover the hour for you. Please call Rose Stone at 201-6770761 if you can commit to “watch one hour with Me”, as Jesus asked His disciples to do in the Garden of Gethsemane. Even if you are able to commit to a specific 30 minute time slot each Saturday, please give us a call. You will be greatly blessed.

They now need additional volunteers. Anyone interested in helping out in this ministry should call Peg Ficca at 201-848-8072 or the Parish Center at 201-8914200. The more people involved, the easier the work will be. Thank you ladies for your Christian kindness and generosity! It is much appreciated. We as a parish can help keep our Church clean and ease their job by making sure all tissues, papers and food products are removed from the pews at the end of each Mass. Thank you for your help.

Are you the non-Catholic spouse of a parishioner who is wondering about full communion with the Church? Are you an adult Catholic who, for whatever reason, "missed" one or more of the sacraments of initiation (First Holy Communion and/or Confirmation) while growing up? Anyone interested in learning more can contact Father John at 201-891-4200 x28.

As we embrace these autumn months, May the earlier setting of the sun remind us to take time to rest. May the crunch of the leaves beneath our feet remind us of the brevity of this earthly life. May the steam of our breath in the cool air remind us that it is you who give us your breath of life. May the scurrying of the squirrels and the migration of the birds remind us that you call us to follow your will. We praise you for your goodness forever and ever. Amen.

Two hundred children and adults participated in an interactive retreat about Penance and Eucharist.

The children and parents then decorated a special blessing cup for communion. What a great day. Pumpkin Prayer Presentation Students in CCD enjoyed the Halloween Pumpkin Prayer Presentation. Children participated in reciting the prayer and assembling the carved pumpkin in response to the prayer - Open my mind so I Can learn about Jesus; Take all my sin and forgive the wrong that I do; Open my eyes so Your love I see; I'm sorry for times I've turned up my nose of what You've given me; Open my ears so Your Word I will hear; Open my mouth to tell others You're near.
