RELIGIOUS ITEMS FOR THE MISSIONS Ginny Akhoury is collecting religious items, prayer cards, novena booklets, medals, small statues, rosaries (broken ones will be repaired) crucifixes and greeting cards, for distribution around the world. These items will be sent to missions in Africa, India, the Philippines and many other locations. The priests and religious are in dire need of materials to propagate the faith with their poor parishion-ers. Please leave any contributions in the baskets at the doors of the church.
PARISH EMAIL MAILING LIST The parish has a new email mailing list service! The purpose of this service is to quickly provide interested parishioners with important news and announcements that are time sensitive (i.e. cannot wait for Sunday), or notices of interest to parishioners who might be away on business or vacation. These announce-ments might include the death of a parishioner/ex-parishioner, emergency needs of the parish, request for prayers, etc. To subscribe to the mailing list, simply send an email (i.e. no message or title needed) from your email address to [email protected], or go to http://www.holyfamilyfp.org/subscribe. You will receive two emails in return … one asking that you confirm that you made the re-quest (simply respond to this first email) and then you will re-ceive a second email saying welcome to the mailing list once your request is approved by one of our moderators (you do not need to respond to the second email). To contact the moderators of the system send a message via e-mail to [email protected] (Celeste) or [email protected] (Ed McGuire). If you have any questions, you can contact Ed McGuire at [email protected] or 973-377-7150.
CHILDRENS CHOIR We are looking for someone to start a Children’s Choir here. Please call the rectory for information.
CATHOLIC CHARITIES Please help support our local programs by donations of clothing, shoes and household items in our donation bin located in the parking lot.
