Do you leave your

bulletin in the car after you drive

home on Sunday? Does it get lost

in the pile with the Sunday paper? Do you find yourself looking

for it to get an update on a meeting time, or find the name of that

plumber who advertises every week to support our parish? Well,

now you can find our bulletin online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a

week, 365 days a year. Go to www.SeekAndFind.com and enter

our church’s zip code 07662. You can download each week’s

The Office For Evangelization

Launches You Tube channel!

"The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message."  Pope John Paul 11

Vocation Reflections

"This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him?" When Christ calls, the Father tells us to listen. This is true not just in the realm of morals and faith, but also in the realm of what we are supposed to do with our lives. Christ calls each of us to a special place in His kingdom, and these are manifest in the roles which we fulfill in the Church. Have you questioned what vocation Christ wants for you? If so, you may want to explore the possibility of priesthood or religious life. The Office of Vocations is here to help explore that question with you, and if you would like, contact the Office of Vocations at 973-497-4365 or kellybar@rcan.org.

YOU ARE NEEDED AS A EUCHARISTIC MINISTER

Come join  us to serve the Lord as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. The requirements are love and an eagerness to serve the Lord and an hour of your time every other weekend at Mass. Do you feel challenged to serve God's people? Do you feel the need to grow in your spiritual life? Then meet these needs and become a Eucharistic Minister. For more information call Rosemarie Oliveri at 201-843-8368 or the rectory at 201-843-1722.
Bibles for the Homeless The poor in many of New Jersey's emergency shelters, jails, drug treatment centers and missions to aid mothers and children are hungering for the hope and life changing promises that Jesus gives in His precious Word..

This Bible ministry provides baskets containing free Bible located in the common rooms and are refilled frequently but emptied out by the residents.

The "Bible Donation Baskets." located in the vestibule of the church, welcomes Bibles of any version size, condition, disrepair or language. Every Bible is a soul saved for Christ!

Thank you.

The Ministry of Spiritual Direction Do you need more in your spiritual Journey? Is Jesus calling you to a deeper relationship with Him? Spiritual Direction will help you establish a deeper intimacy with God. It is not counseling, or therapy, but a one to one ministry in discovering the Lord's activity in your life. A good definition of the process is best described below:

"We define Christian spiritual direction as help given by one Christian to another which enables that person to pay attention to God's personal communication to him or her, to respond to this God, and to live out the consequence of the relationship."
The Ministry of Spiritual Direction is being made available to the members of the Sacred Heart Parish, this September, in the Religious Education Center. It will be conducted by a trained and certified Spiritual Director. If you are interested in participating, and want to walk a "closer walk", please leave your name, address, and telephone number at the rectory. Respond to His call to " Come and See."
