Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The new commandment that Jesus gives to his disciples
is that we will love one another. This is not
a sentimental type of love but a love marked by service
and sacrifice. It is a sacrificial love that seeks
the good of the other ahead of our own. It is this
sacrificial love that led our Lord to accept death on
a Cross for our sake and for our salvation. If the
Church, the People of God, forsakes this commandment,
then the Cross is emptied of its power to heal
and redeem.
As our society continues to be unmoored from the
teachings of the Gospel, we have experienced a rise
in violence and hate speech. Christians must resist
the rising tide of intolerance and racism. We belong
to Christ and to His Kingdom. Let us put away
deeds of darkness and practice the selfless love to
which Christ has called us.
In Christ,
Fr. Thomas

2019 Bishop’s Annual Appeal
Help Build a Civilization of Love
To date, 453 parishioners have pledged $144,433 and paid
$133,145. Thanks to your generosity, these pledges put us at
81% 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.

Having trouble hearing in Church?
 Hearing Assistance Devices are available in the rear of the Church.
The devices cannot be used outside the Church, as they are connected
to our Church public address system.
The hearing devices are used by many at daily
and Sunday Masses and other Liturgical Celebrations.
PLEASE be sure to return them to the box at the
back of the Church and also be certain to turn the
switch OFF before placing them back into the box.
