Dear Parishioners,
At this time of year, with so little going on other than trying to stay cool, there really isn’t much to tell you this week. However, I do want to bring you up to date with two things that I have already mentioned.
First, the upcoming Archdiocese of Newark Holy Year Pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine in Washington, D.C. This will be taking place on October 18th, and much more information will be forthcoming shortly.
The last time we had the pilgrimage, over 3,000 people from the Archdiocese participated, including a bus from our parish. This time, because of the added graces of the Holy Year, even more are expected to participate. We have already charted our bus, and will shortly be accepting names of any would like to attend. Just like last time, there will be a small fee to offset the price of the bus, but certainly affordable for everyone. This is a long day, but a beautiful day and all those who participated in the past had a wonderful experience. Please consider being a part of this very special moment in the life of our Archdiocese, you will be very glad you did.
Secondly, although we have talked about it lately, much has been going on behind the scenes with the ongoing We Are His Witnesses process of pastoral conversion taking place in the Archdiocese. Later this month, you will be notified of the next phase of the process which will involve us meeting as a parish in the Fall, to honestly discuss our strengths and weaknesses and giving our input to the Archdiocese on how we can move forward. Once I know more information about this, I will inform you immediately.
Until then, stay cool, and if you are taking an August vacation, I hope you have a wonderful time.
Fathe. Armand
