SPECIAL NOON MASS
All are welcome to The Church of St. Mary, 20 Legion Place, Closter for the Third Saturday Mass on Saturday, August 17th at Noon. Mass is offered for the support, healing and recovery of the person directly affected with the abuse of alcohol and /or drugs, and for anyone involved in their life. A support group, Meeting of Hope will follow the mass.
For information please call 201-768-7565
Next weekend, our parish will take up a collection for the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa. While the Church in Africa is growing, many still lack access to basic resources as well as pastoral care. Many suffer due to high rates of poverty and unemployment, illiteracy, and poor education. The fund supports pastoral projects that strengthen communities in their faith and foster lasting peace and reconciliation in a continent often marked by division and tension.
To learn more, visit www.usccb.org/africa.
Reminder, we will be collecting all types of back to school items August 17-18, for the children from our sister parish, Our Lady of
Sorrows in Jersey City!
Please bring your donations to church before and after all masses.
Next Weekend: Aug. 17 & 18
Our Lady of Sorrows
“Back to School” Collection
Faith and hope are closely united in today's readings. The Israelites knew when the Passover was coming, and so were not in fear, but had faith and courage, putting into effect with one accord the divine institution. In this we can see a foretelling of the Eucharist that we celebrate according to Christ's command, Do this in memory of me.
We see that Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob died in faith, although they did not see fulfillment of the promise. We live in hope that our faith will be fulfilled every time we celebrate this sacrament. We too are not to be afraid, but to have hope that our faith will be fulfilled in the coming of Christ.
