Ethics Point Hotline: As part of the ongoing efforts of the Diocese of Paterson to strengthen and support a culture of integrity, mutual
accountability and responsibility, an ethics hotline for the use of employees, volunteers, parishioners, vendors and other
interested parties is being introduced. This service provides opportunity for confidential, anonymous reporting of suspected misconduct in financial matters and human resource issues. Ethics Point, an independent third-party company, has been
selected to offer all diocesan parishes, schools, agencies and departments the opportunity to file reports via the web at
www.patersondiocese.org or through a call to 1-855-247-3140. For more information, check the Ethics Point link on the
diocesan website.
ALERT! If any person may have been abused by any priest, they should immediately contact their local County
Prosecutor’s Office and the Diocese’s Victims Assistance Coordinator: Dr. Ken McNiel at 973-879-1489. You may also be in
touch with either of the Diocesan Response Officers: Rev. Msgr. James T. Mahony, Vicar General and Moderator of the
Curia, 973-777-8818 ext. 205 or SisterJoan Daniel Healy, S.C.C., Chancellor/Delegate for Religious, 973-777-8818 ext. 248.
The entire text of the Policy of the Diocese of Paterson in Response to Complaints of Sexual Abuse is available on the
diocesan web site: www.patersondiocese.org.
Prayer for an End to Infanticide: The U.S. Senate recently failed to pass the Born-Alive Survivors Protection Act—legislation that prohibits infanticide by ensuring that a child born alive following an attempted abortion would receive the same degree of care to preserve her or his life and health as would be given to any other child born alive at the same gestational age. Please join us in payer for an end to infanticide: “Jesus, Lord of Life, transform the hearts of our elected leaders to recognize that infanticide is wrong and must not be tolerated. We especially pray for our Senators Corey Booker and Bob Menendez. Open their hearts and minds to recognize and defend the precious gift of every human life.” Catholic Charities Clothing Boxes: Donate Your Old Clothes: Now that we are starting to go through our old spring & summer clothing and putting away fall/winter clothing, please consider donating some of your old or used clothing to Catholic Charities. Your donated clothes raise money to fund our Catholic Charities poverty relief services throughout the Diocese. For your convenience there is a clothing drop-off bin located behind the church.
The Rosary Join us in Praying the Rosary on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
After the 8:30 AM Mass
Eucharistic Adoration Every Friday after the 8:30 am Mass until 10:00 am Come to pray before the Lord,
to give thanks and hear his voice in the quiet of your heart. Benediction is celebrated at the conclusion of Holy Hour
Pastor’s Column
Next Sunday our second collection is for our Maintenance Fund. The
parish plant is in need of some updating. We have a sink hole in the
parking lot near the garage, which needs to be tended to. The parking
lot needs to be striped. The rest of the parking lot needs to be paved.
These are just a few of the things that need to be done.
Also, we know pay for the snow plowing and salting. As you know
this costs money. This past year it put a dent into the budget. The
snow removal cost was over $2,500.
Maintenance is important because it keeps the buildings and grounds
in shape. If they are neglected it only cost more when the repairs
need to be performed immediately.
Usually we keep the overage from the Bishops Annual Appeal for
maintenance projects but due to higher costs especially snow
removal it had to be placed into the operating budget.
I ask you to please be as generous as you possibly can for this
collection.
God Bless, Fr. Rich

Religious Education Changes for the Confirmation Program: Bishop Serratelli has approved our parish to have the students to now receive Confirmation in 8th Grade. This year (2019/2020) we will have the incoming 9th & 10th grade students receive Confirmation in May 2020. Next year we will have the incoming 8th & 9th grade students receive Confirmation in May 2021. Then all students will receive their Confirmation in 8th grade going forward. More details will follow when CCD resumes in September. Bible Study: Bible Study will be on Tuesday, July 30th at 7:00pm in the Parish Center. We will be studying the Women in the Old Testament.

This year due to a rise in expenses, especially for snow removal we will use these funds to offset the budget. Thank you again for your generosity.
