The New Year brings new Opportunities for commitment

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Newark

As the New Year begins, most people wonder what will

unfold over the upcoming months. Through our uncer-

tainty we are ask to trust in the Lord, Catholic Charities is

also placing its trust in your kindness to support our mis-

sion. One way to do this is by cleaning out your closets

and donating any unwanted clothing, small appliances,

shoes, linens, sheets, towels, stuffed animals and books

(no reference books) to the Catholic Charities donation

bin located on your Church grounds. May your continued

generosity brighten every day of the New Year.

Thank You!

Thank You One and All

We thank all our volunteers and staff,

all who helped us prepare and decorate

our church for the Christ Child. Your

time, talent and treasures are greatly ap-

preciated. Your kindness and dedication

to the parish are wonderful blessings and

so are you.

As we say “Good Bye” to 2015, a

year that will always live in our hearts,

we thank all our faithful parishioners and

wish everyone a blessed, happy, healthy

new year. As we continue our journey

may the Holy Spirit be with us and car-

ry us over the bumps in the road. With

His help and guidance we will be blessed

in the new year and the new parish, Saint

John Paul II. Let us go forth together in

peace, love and good will at this time of

change.

Important Notes

This is the last publication of our

St. Michael St. Joseph Bulletin. The

maining envelopes until new enve-
