When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. (Jesus) said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the holy Spirit."  John 20:20-22

 

There are different gifts, but the same Spirit.  There are different ministries, but the same Lord.”  Each of us has been graced with certain gifts of the Spirit.  They are active and they are ministries if we utilize them for the building up of the Church.  The vocation question Pentecost Sunday asks is how has God gifted you to serve?  Perhaps the Lord is calling you to the priesthood or religious life.  Contact Father Robert Medley at the Vocations Office 732-562-1990 or e-mail Vocations@diometuchen.org.  Or visit our website at www.diometuchen.org/vocations

 

 

Month of May Special Collections: Summer Collection May 25/26.  Proceeds are for the benefit of the Catholic Communications Campaign and the Catholic University of America.  The Catholic University of America stands as the most important Catholic center of graduate studies in religion and theology in the US and requires the support of all the diocese of the country.  The essential mission of the Catholic Communications Campaign is to contribute to the process of evangelization by fostering activities in relation to television, radio and other media, and through special projects of the Catholic press.  One-half of the funds collected are remitted to the National Office and the other half of the collection stays in our Diocese for local media projects.

Registration forms for next year’s Religious Education Program are in the downstairs hall and may be picked up after any mass.  It is essential that you register your child(ren) as soon as possible so that books & supplies may be ordered for next year for your child(ren).

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

“Oh, I couldn’t see much because of all the mountains!”
