THE SACRAMENTAL LIFE OF OUR CHURCH THE SACRAMENT OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS Saturday: Vigil - 5:00 PM Sunday Schedule: 8:00AM 10:00AM
12 NOON 5:00 PM Weekdays: Monday through Saturday: 9:00 AM Holy Day: See Schedule in Bulletin
COMMUNION TO THE SICK is taken by Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist on a regular basis to those confined to their homes. Please call the Parish Center.
THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM is celebrated on most Sundays at 1:30 PM (not during Lent). A family must be registered in the parish, attend the baptismal preparation class, and cooperate with the regulations established by the parish. Our baptismal class is held on the 2nd Monday of the month at 8:00 PM. Please call the Parish Center to register any time during your pregnancy.
THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION is celebrated on Saturday between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM in the Chapel or by appointment.
THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION is celebrated once a year by the Bishop’s delegate, here at St. Augustine. A candidate must successfully complete our Religious Education program. Adult Confirmation is held on Pentecost Sunday and any interested adults should contact the Parish Center.
THE SACRAMENT OF THE SICK is administered at home to any Catholic who is seriously ill. Please call the Parish Center. Any parishioner admitted to a local hospital should contact the Catholic Hospital Chaplain through the hospital. A family member should contact the parish when someone is admitted to the hospital. We will gladly pray for any members who are sick, whether at home or in the hospital, at our Sunday Masses; however, it is necessary for the family to “request” it.
THE SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY is celebrated by the Pastor or one of our deacons. Weddings may be scheduled on Friday evening, Saturday, or Sunday afternoon. Only a ceremony is permitted on Sunday. The pastor will confirm the date so couples should contact the Parish Center at least ONE YEAR in advance. All the necessary information will be sent to you. The attendance at Pre-Cana or an Engaged Encounter Weekend is required. One must be a registered member of the parish. Our parish upholds the Gospel values and the Church’s teachings regarding the sacredness of marriage and those couples choosing to live together in contradiction of those values, will receive a simple ceremony and all Diocesan regulations followed.
THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS and RELIGIOUS LIFE: If you are considering serving God as a priest, deacon, or religious, you may contact your parish priest, deacon, or religious; or phone the Diocesan Office of Vocations at (732) 562-1990.
THE DEVOTIONAL LIFE OF THE PARISH:
The Liturgy of the Hours is prayed Monday through Saturday at 8:45 AM prior to Mass.
Eucharistic Adoration/Devotion is held Monday at 7:00 PM (not on national holidays or during the summer)
Novena in honor of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is prayed on Saturday following the 9:00 AM Mass in the chapel.
Devotion in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is prayed on the First Friday of the month following the 9:00 AM Mass.
St. Elizabeth’s Guild Prays the Rosary after daily Mass.
“The disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.” Acts 13:52
The disciples heard Our Lord’s call and were able to spread the Gospel message with strength and vitality. We, too, can experience that same joy if we make room for the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts. When we use our gifts in the way that God intends, He fills us with supernatural joy. A joy that others notice and are attracted to.

MEDITATION FOR MAY 12TH, 2019 Jesus, our Good Shepherd, grasps us by the hand.
Good Shepherd Sunday is celebrated around the world on the Fourth Sunday of Easter. Jesus knows each one of us and we know His voice. To follow Him is to know eternal life. As Paul and Barnabas continue their travels, they encounter more Gentiles who are receptive to their message. In John’s
vision, a great multitude from every corner of the earth is seen gathering together. In the Gospel, Jesus speaks of His sheep knowing His voice and following after Him.

BANNS OF ORDINATION The Most Reverend Bishop James F. Checchio, Bishop of Metuchen, has called Mr. Thomas Lanza to the Order of Deacon. He will be ordained Saturday, June 15, 2019 at 10:30 am at the Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi in Metuchen. In accordance with Canon 1051.2 of the Code of Canon Law, we are announcing his banns for ordination. I entrust Tom to your prayers as he prepares to be ordained a transitional deacon and we look forward to his priestly ordination next year. Let us continue to pray for vocations to the priesthood from the blessings of Saint Augustine parish.
Congratulations Father Bob, on the 35th Anniversary of
your Priesthood.
