HOUSE BLESSING in honor of The EPIPHANY (KOLĘDA) K + M + B + 2015 On the feast of the Three Kings or Epiphany, the priests at the end of Mass bless chalk and holy water to be used during pastoral home visits that take place annually at this time of year. Every home and family in the parish is visited by the priests of the parish once a year at Christmas time. When the priest visits a home in the parish, he begins with the greeting, “Peace be to this house and to all that dwell here in.” Prayers are said including the Our Father and Hail Mary. The house is sprinkled with holy water and the door marked with the chalk blessed in church (optional). Finally the priest takes some time to speak with the family about any concerns they may have. Dear Parishioners, It is a great joy to visit our parish families for the Annual Blessing of Homes. This visit enables us to experience the family of St. Thomas More in a very real way. If you wish, please complete the form below and return it to St. Thomas More Church, 210 Horseneck Rd., Fairfield, NJ 07004, place in the Sunday collection basket, or call the rectory at 973-227-0055. ----------------------------------------------------------------Please bless my home in honor of the Feast of the Epiphany.

I would like to extend thanks to all who bought gifts for our ‘Giving Tree’ and those involved in sorting and delivering. This year’s gifts went to our Food Pantry Families, St. Leo’s Parish in Irvington, Josephine’s Place in Elizabeth and our Lady of Perpetual Help Pre-School in Newark. All gifts were very much needed and appreciated. Countless thanks to our many ministries: Art and Environment - the love, dedication and talent you display grows each year - the church looks magnificent. Our Music Minister Brad Ucci, our leader of song, Diane Ruggiero and our dedicated choir and all who sang, played an instrument and gave praise the music was glorious! Special thanks to Fairfield Garden Center for our beautiful Christmas tree that adorns our church, to Bob & Sharon Laner for the 3 trees placed at the Nativity scene in church and to Bernice’s Floral Creation for the countless generosity of her floral arrangements at Christmas and throughout the year. Thank you to the CCD staff and the Knights of Columbus for all you did during this Christmas Season and all you continue to do throughout the year. A special thanks to Ray for all his hard work and dedication and to the St. Thomas More Staff and everyone who helped to make this Christmas so beautiful. In gratitude to my brother priests, Fr. Juan, Fr. Gene and our Deacon Aidan - we are truly blessed to have you with us. And not to forget our parishioners who sent their prayers, well wishes, cards, gifts, food, desserts, etc. I speak for Fr. Juan, Fr. Gene and myself - May God bless all of you and your families with peace, joy, and good health. Please keep us in your prayers as you will remain in ours.
