PASTOR’S FORUM

Tuesday, September 17 at 7pm in the Church Meeting Room

These meeting times are being offered for anyone who would like to follow up on the Parish Financial Report that was recently published. Their purpose is to provide opportunity for anyone who would like more information, to ask questions or wants to discuss any concerns you may have. It is also a more appropriate time and place for Fr. Tom to communicate in more detail about the parish operation and needed support.  Please take advantage of this opportunity.

Meet the Oratory

October 2                 7:30pm at St. Ann Church Meeting Room

This is an opportunity to meet the members of this Oratory, who reside at St. Ann’s rectory. We did an evening like this last year and it seemed to be helpful for those attending to get to know us better and to learn more about our life and ministry.  We welcome your questions.

St. Philip Neri and the Congregation of the Oratory:
4 Part Series, Consecutive Wednesdays

October 16, 23, 30 and November 6    7:30pm at Holy Trinity     

Who was Philip Neri? Why is he known as the second apostle to Rome and the patron saint of joy? How might his spirituality enrich your life and help deepen your relationship with Jesus.  Find out how the idea of the Congregation of the Oratory developed and what makes it unique among other Catholic religious orders and communities. 

Guadalupe: The Miracle and the Message (video)

November 13         7:30pm at St. Ann       One hour video presentation that traces the history of this transformative event from the 16th century to the present.  The Virgin Mary’s apparition and her miraculous image has an intimate message of motherly love and concern for us all. Why are we and the whole Diocese of Metuchen praying to Our Lady of Guadalupe every week?  Why is our Bishop asking that we consecrate ourselves to her? This video will help us to offer our prayer and ourselves in a more meaningful way.
