Parish Food Pantry Our parish collects food for the needy every Sunday. Please bring nonperishable canned or boxed food and offer it as your gift to those in need.

OUR PRAYER FOR UNITY Last Sunday, we heard the final words Jesus spoke be-fore his ascension into heaven, words recorded by Saint Mark. Today we listen to a portion of what has become known as Jesus’ “final discourse” from John’s Gospel. Once again, the Lord’s words contain a commissioning of his

disciples for ministry to the world. One important part of this discourse is Jesus’ prayer for unity: “Keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.” As the Easter season comes to an end, a season that has seen us deepening our awareness of the Paschal Mystery, it is fitting that today we hear this prayer for unity among the Lord’s followers. Let us cele-brate the unity we have with other Christians and work together to heed the Lord’s great commission to bring the Good News to our weary world.

Notification of Hospitalization Illness or Impending Surgery

Hospitals are required to observe confidentiality and priva-cy laws and are no longer able to inform parishes of admis-sions of parishioners. It is now necessary for either the pa-tient, him/her self, or a family member to notify the parish of his/her hospitalization. Arrangements then can be made for the parish priest to visit the patient. Because of privacy laws we do not publish the names of the sick in our bulletin or announce them at Mass unless the patient or a family member gives us permission to do so. Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be adminis-tered upon request prior to a scheduled hospital admission or before any elective surgery. Please call the rectory 973-694-5700. All calls are kept confidential.

Serving in Our Military With gratitude, we remember our veterans and we also pray for the safe return of our loved ones who now serve us faithfully both here and in foreign lands. As a visible reminder of their sacrifice and our love, we would like to begin publishing a prayer list of the men and women who are actively serving. This list will be published regularly in the bulletin. If you wish to include a family member who is actively serving in the military, please call the Parish Office at 973-694-5700 and provide us with the individuals name and rank. You may also email the information to trish23@optonline.net. Please keep in your prayers ~Lt. Col. Timothy M. Crowley, USMC ~Major Hans Hogan, US Army ~Staff Sgt.
