SUMMER WEEKEND MASS SCHEDULE

Sunday: 8:00 AM
& 11:00 AM

The Office of Development and Stewardship exists to cultivate and promote stewardship as a way of life throughout the Archdiocese of Newark. Through their gifts of time, talent and treasure, Catholics actively build the Kingdom of God and advance the mission of the universal Church - to boldly proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, to pass on the Faith to the next generation, particularly through the celebration of the Sacraments, and to care for the poor, the vulnerable, and those on the margins. 
 
The Annual Appeal will fund essential programs and ministries at the heart of our Catholic mission in our four counties – namely to proclaim the gospel, to pass on the faith to future generations, particularly through the celebration of the sacraments, and to care for the poor and those on the margins.

We can Spiritually remember an engagement, marriage, birth, ordination, birthday, graduation,  anniversary of marriage or death, or other significant milestone for the living or deceased by dedicating the items we use for worship: the flower arrangement by the Table of the Eucharist, the Bread and Wine used at a Mass, the Sanctuary Lamp which constantly burns before the Blessed Sacrament, or the Votive Candles in front of the icons of the Blessed Virgin Mary. When a donation is requested, a card is provided noting the item and time of dedication, and the names are printed in the weekly bulletin. 

In addition, you canalso sponsor the refinishing  of the tall Altar Candles and memorialize  them to a loved one.

“Summertime and the living is easy.”  That’s what the favorite old song says.  The living may be easy, but often the giving is not.  Summer collections often drop significantly in our parish because of vacation travel, sports schedules and other activities that cause parishioners to attend Mass in other parishes. Whether on vacation or other activities, we pray that your time will be safe and a source of many happy memories.  However, please do not take your parish offering with you.  If you would like to make your giving easy and consistent this summer, please consider our electronic giving option.  Currently many parish families are using this simple and secure way to make and track their parish giving.  If you would like to learn more, please use the "Give Online" drop-down link above right, or scan the image below.


It’s simple!  It’s safe! And it keeps God at the top of your giving list even when you are away!
