We invite you to grow spiritually through worship, prayer and education ministries that teach us and our children how to live our lives in Christ’s image.
“I have come to set the earth on fire.” Pope Benedict
XVI wrote that the fire is Christ’s own Passion
of Love, “a fire that is to be handed on. Whoever
comes close to Christ must be prepared to be
burned. This is a fire that makes things bright and
pure and free and grand. Being a Christian, then, is
daring to entrust oneself to this burning fire.” The
fire of God’s love consumes us when we desire to
live a life centered on Christ and the Gospel.
The spiritual life, then, becomes a loving response
to the passionate love of God for us in Christ. Most
Christians have a lukewarm response to God’s invitation
and are unaware of the riches of grace that are
given to those who respond in love. There is always
time to begin again....

2019 Bishop’s Annual Appeal Help Build a Civilization of Love
To date, 517 parish households have pledged $163,591 and
paid $163,601. Thanks very much for these pledges which put
us at 95% of our parish goal of $173,000.
Our other goal is for every family to participate. If you have
not contributed yet this year, we ask you to prayerfully consider
donating to the Bishop's Appeal funding over 25 diocesan
and parish ministries that reach a half million people. You can
take a Bishop's Appeal envelope in the Church gathering space
and return it with your pledge or one-time gift in the collection
basket. The Diocese of Metuchen's home
page, diometuchen.org, also describes other ways to contribute
including online and employer matching gifts.
Every gift, no matter the size, is important and greatly appreciated.
The Parish Office will be closed Monday, September 2nd, 2019 in observance of Labor Day.
