The Office For Evangelization
|
Launches You Tube channel! Check out the intro video here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/EvangiRCAN
"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." |
