Giving Tree 2019

11/26/2019

OUR GIVING TREE IS HERE!
Stop in and pick up as many tags as you will be able to purchase gifts for. Please only take tags if you can purchase the gift. Purchase the $15 - $25 gift on the tag, wrap it, and securely attach the tag to it.

The tags are very important for proper distribution of gifts. Gifts must be returned under the tree on or before Dec. 8 so we can distribute them. Remember, gift cards must be brought to the rectory. The following charities benefit from your generosity:
  • Josephine’s Place is run by the Sisters of Charity and helps women and their families become independent.
  • The Interfaith Hospitality Network of Essex County Assists the homeless.
  • The Passaic County Women’s Shelter takes care of women and their children who are in serious need of help.
  • Hope Through Care is a small home that helps homeless women and children get on their feet again.
  • The Filippini Sisters give to children in need in Essex County.

THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE GIFTS ON YOUR TAGS. GIVING TO THOSE IN NEED IS THE TRUE MEANING OF THE SEASON.

Nov. 2019 - All Souls Month

11/21/2019

 
Picture
"The month of November is dedicated to the Souls in Purgatory, whose feast is celebrated on November 2. The entire month of November falls during the liturgical season known as Ordinary Time, which is represented by the liturgical color green. This symbol of hope is the color of the sprouting seed and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. It is used in the offices and Masses of Ordinary Time. The last portion of the liturgical year represents the time of our pilgrimage to heaven during which we hope for reward."

A Prayer for Our Confirmandi

Holy Spirit, strengthen our STM Confirmandi with your gifts of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord, as a disciple of Christ. Fill them with the joy of your presence. Increase in them the fruit of your Spirit. Help them to experience and trust your dwelling within, so that they may count on your guidance today and every day. Show us the way to help one another become better disciples of Jesus Christ, sharing your love with our world and with each person we encounter. Amen.
