The person of true wisdom, like Solomon, will seek the reign of God and
treasure it above all else. It is more
precious than gold and silver. Thus one
becomes conformed to the image of Christ, the Son.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR PARISHIONERS who are sick at home, in the hospital or in nursing homes, especially for Mary Pokotello, Roberta (Bobbi) Zabita, John Foxwell, Haley Weber, Blanche Ferarro, Gladys Quinlan, Adam Platukis, Beverly Torok, Josephine Sarnoski, Marie Quinata, Andy Gonda, Joyce Porto, Nick Barber, Roseanne Scaletti, Diane Manley, and Bryant Connelly (Betty’s son). Please also pray for the soul of Joseph P. Nolan, father of Rev. Brian Nolan, Pastor of St. Mary Church – Stony Hill, Watchung who passed away last week.
Let us be joined in prayer, as
Joseph is welcomed back into the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father. Let us also remember the Nolan family that
they may find strength and consolation in the Lord, and comfort and support
from their family and friends.

Andy dislikes the catcher. Ed's sister is engaged to

What do the
youth and young adults need in order to have hope in this new 21st century?
When
questioned about major spiritual concerns facing their generation, young adults
respond that they need to belong and feel loved. They need self-esteem and are
concerned about human rights, increasing violence and abuse, ecological
problems and struggles with addiction and the loss of meaning and hope for the
future.
While
transcendence, belonging, self-esteem, community, trust, love, even mystical
consciousness are important, we see many -- including a large number of young
adults --
distancing
themselves from institutional religion.
Remember:
RENEW starts at Our Lady of Mercy in the
fall. Keep watching this space
