The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart will be celebrated on this Friday, June 8 th. The Sacred Heart of Jesus, our Savior, is considered the chief sign and symbol of that love with which the Divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all human beings without exception. The gift of God s love is made manifest in the heart of Jesus. On the cross Jesus gave His life for us and for our salvation. From His wounded side flowed Blood and Water, the sacramental life of the Church. May we always give thanks for the great gift of God s love for us. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. In Christ, Fr. Thomas Dear Brothers & Sisters, I am pleased to announce that our parish has been assigned a seminarian for the summer. His name is Jay Alquiros and he is in his Second year of theology. Jay is 28 years of age and is a parishioner of Saint Ambrose Church in Old Bridge. I have asked Jay to lead Morning Prayer at our parish during his assignment. Morning Prayer will be 8am Monday to Friday in the Church. All parishioners are invited to attend. Please pray for Jay and all our seminarians. May the Lord bless us with vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life. In Christ, Fr. Thomas May 26th & 27th, 2018: $14,582.40
