THE 2023 ANNUAL APPEAL: DO YOUR PART & FILL THE HEART
The Newark Archdiocese Annual Appeal begins this weekend with a goal for our parish to raise $25,837. For the past several years we have met our goal with the help of many in the parish, including those who were very instrumental through very sizable contributions. Without those individuals, however, we would have been unable to meet the goal with only 20% parish participation. We continue to strive for 100% parish participation and ask that everyone please "Do Your Part & Fill the Heart" by donating $52 - that's just a dollar a week. We know that some families continue to experience difficult times so we hope that any amount by all of us will help us reach our goal. Please use the Annual Appeal envelope, make your donation on Venmo or through Parish Giving.

The Fr. Michael Food Pantry
The Fr. Michael Food Pantry is active with monthly distributions to 50 families. In order to sustain our distribution we need to replenish our shelves on an ongoing basis. Please help us stock the shelves with the following. The Pantry is named for our beloved Fr. Michael, our former pastor, who along with his sisters were killed in a tragic car accident in June, 2017. His Franciscan values to feed those when they are hungry and his founding of the pantry were why we named the pantry in his honor in the year following his passing into eternal life.
