Let Us Pray for One Another
New! In the Narthex! Prayer Intention Book
At future Liturgies, prayers will be requested for all those
intentions listed in the new PRAYER INTENTION BOOK,
located in the Narthex of the Church. The Senior Group
that meets on Wednesdays will also include those intentions
in their weekly prayer. Feel free to write a name, a request,
a thank you, or just simply
“for a special intention” in the book. Prayer is so
important, for all people, so let us keep praying for one
another

program is also ideal for baptized Christians of other
Christian denominations who are interested in learning more

wish to experience the richness of our Catholic Faith and
who desires to participate fully in the sacramental life of the
Church, please contact Barbara Bunag at 732-257-7722.

visit with President Obama at the White House and in the afternoon will formally canonize Bl. Junipero Serra at the Basilica
of the Immaculate Conception. Thursday morning, September
24th, Pope Francis will address a Joint Session of the United
States Congress, the first time in our history that the successor
of Saint Peter has been invited to address Congress. In the evening he will depart Washington to journey to New York City.
After arriving at JFK, he will visit Saint Patrick‘s Cathedral
and preside at Evening Prayer. Friday morning, September
25th, Pope Francis will address The United Nations General
Assembly and after this he will be at the 9/11 Memorial and
Museum. In the evening he will celebrate Mass at Madison
Square Garden.
Saturday, September 26th, Pope Francis will travel to Philadelphia to take part in the World Meeting on the Families. While
in Philadelphia he will visit Independence Hall and the Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul. Sunday, September
27th, the Holy Father will host a meeting with all of the Bishops of the United States. A Mass will be celebrated by Pope
Francis at 4pm. on the front steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum and the large crowd is expected to fill the Benjamin
Franklin Parkway.
If you are interested in attending this Mass please see the insert
in today’s bulletin.
Please continue to pray for Pope Francis and for the success of
his pastoral visit to the United States.
In Christ,
Fr. Thomas
