Jn 3:13-18. 21
Jesus said to Nicodemus: No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.
Whether you can spare a few hours or several shifts, your time and support will make a real difference.

Parents who had children in the
just concluded CCD program received an email on Friday, May 15th giving them an opportunity to reenroll
their child and pay the tuition. New students are to be enrolled using the link on the Religious Education

Each Tuesday Weekly adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Weekly adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be held EACH Tuesday immediately following the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Devotions from noon to 9:00 p.m. beginning November 9. To ensure that there is always someone in attendance during the entire time, we are asking for 7 volunteers to commit to be present for a specific one-hour segment EACH TUESDAY OF NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. Since the Blessed Sacrament cannot be left unattended, each one-hour attendant will be responsible to be present at their selected time or secure a replacement. You can select the hour of your choice on the signup sheet in the church vestibule or call the parish office at 908-725-0072.

FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK

Christ is risen—He is truly risen!
Happy Easter, dear Friends!,
Christ is risen—He is truly risen! This is the unshakable truth that stands at the heart of our faith: Jesus has conquered death, once and for all. It is the light that shines in every darkness, the hope that carries us through every trial, and the joy that fills our hearts beyond measure.
Walking with the Risen Lord, we are never alone. In moments of struggle, His hand lifts us up. In our weakness and sin, His mercy restores us. In times of joy, He invites us to rejoice even more deeply in His presence.
May the power of the Resurrection be alive in you each day. When life feels heavy, may you see the light that no darkness can overcome. When challenges arise, may you find strength in God. And in every blessing, may you embrace the fullness of joy that comes from His grace.
Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed, hope-filled, and joyful Easter!
Sincerely in Christ,
F.Stan

In the face of death, the Church confidently proclaims that God has created each person for eternal life and that Jesus, by his death and resurrection, has destroyed death forever.
Christians celebrate the funeral rites to offer worship, praise and thanksgiving to God for the gift of life which has now been returned to God, the author of life. We pray for the person who has died - asking for the forgiveness of sin and the gift of everlasting life.
