Jesus was obedient
to the Father, even to death on a cross.
We need never fear if we turn away from the path of virtue for the Lord
is ever ready to forgive us, if we but repent.
Remember, the Lord’s compassion and kindness are from of old.

The first son in today’s
Gospel said he would do his father’s bidding, but did not. The second son
balked at first, but then repented and did as he was asked. What service is God calling me to do? Which
son am I more like?

activities, projects and services of the Diocese of Metuchen will continue to
help those in nee.
“As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good
stewards of God’s varied grace.”

Small Christian communities are the hope of the church... (Pope Paul VI)
As we begin RENEW in October we will provide an opportunity for all parishioners to become part of a small Christian community. These communities will meet only once a week for six weeks, beginning the week of October 2. Everyone is invited.
We are not meant to live our faith alone; we need the support of other Christians.
Certainly as we gather each week for Mass we support and love one another, but we need more. We need people who can get to know us well and with whom we can be comfortable. In our small communities we have the opportunity to share our faith, find meaning, deepen relationships, pray, learn from one another, and support each other as we struggle to live our faith in all aspects of our lives.
This is the last weekend to sign up for a Small Christian Community. Won't you join us?

According to Jeff Foxworthy, you're not a kid anymore WHEN...
You quit trying to hold in your stomach, no matter who walks into the room.
You enjoy watching the News.
The phone rings and you hope it’s not for you.
The only reason you're still awake at 4 AM is indigestion.
Your best friend is dating someone half their age AND isn't breaking any laws.
You start singing along with the elevator music.
You really do want a new washing machine for your birthday.
You've owned clothes so long that they've come back into style--TWICE.
You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge. You write Thank You notes without being told.
You don't like to drive after dark
