FROM THE PASTOR
My Dear Brothers and Sisters we continue our joyful celebration of the Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ, today as we conclude the Octave of Easter. Jesus in his appearances to the Apostles wants to
calm them and make them realize he has fulfilled his mission and begins to prepare them for their role as
Apostles and disciples. He tells them in today’s Gospel: “Peace be with you, as the Father has sent me, so
I send you”.
Jesus’ time on earth will be ending shortly as he will ascend to the Father and the Holy Spirit on Ascension
Day. He wants to strengthen his disciples during these days to be ready to go out and proclaim the Good
News.
We also have the story St. Thomas featured in our Gospel today for his doubting the Resurrection of Jesus.
Thomas states: “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put
my hand into his side, I will not believe”.
When Thomas saw Jesus in the upper room he proclaimed: “My Lord and my God”, and believed. After this
Jesus speaks directly to us. He tells Thomas: “You have believed because you have seen but blessed are those
who have not seen and have believed”.
All of us have become disciples and have believed because of the witness of those who have gone before us.
Our mission as Baptized Disciples is to witness to the faith in our daily lives so that we may be able to bring
others to believe. This was, this is, and this always will be Jesus’ plan until that glorious day when he comes
again.
We Are Living Stones Capital Campaign
Our Living Stones Campaign continues. If you have not yet made your pledge to the Capital Campaign, there
is still plenty of time to do so. The Campaign will run for the next four years so please make your pledge
today. If you lost your pledge envelope we have them in the vestibule of the Church and Marian Center as
well as the rectory. As of today we are at about 30% of our goal.
May God bless you,
Fr. Stephen Cinque

PARISH NEWS
I WAS SICK AND YOU VISITED ME - If you know
someone who is unable to attend Mass and who would like to
receive Communion, please call Deacon Bruce at 201-6649130. We can place that person on the Communion List and
we would be happy to visit and bring them the Sacraments.
Please supply us with their name, address and phone number.
Please notify us when someone in your family is sick or
homebound so that we can pray for them, visit them and bring
them the consolation of the Sacraments. To contact a priest in
an emergency, call the rectory at any time day or night at
201-664-6624.
PARISH FOOD COLLECTION - Let us not forget our food
pantry. There is still a great need for non-perishable food,
paper products, personal hygiene items, etc. Monetary
donations are accepted and turned into
Shoprite gift cards. The suggested donation

INCLUSIVE FAMILY MASSES- These Masses are adapted
for individuals with special needs and/or gifts, their families

welcome attending their local parish liturgy, although they are
very welcome. These are the people and families, in particular,
that we are welcoming to attend these Masses and to celebrate
the Eucharist with other members of the surrounding
community. For questions about directions and particular
