Faith to Move Mountains is a $75 million Diocesan-wide endowment campaign that will secure the resources needed to enable our Church to flourish for genera ons to come. Unlike the Annual Catholic Appeal, which addresses the day-to-day opera ng expenses of the Diocese, this campaign will establish endowments to respond to cri cal long-term needs and serve as a permanent and self-sustaining source of financial stability for the Diocese. Once established, the funds will con nue to grow through the reinvestment of interest and earnings, as well as addi onal gi s. Through this, the endowments will pro-vide support for the following needs in perpetuity:
In addi on, 30% of the campaign funds that we raise toward our parish goal will be di-rected back to our parish for our local parish needs. We will use our share of funds for various projects including upgrade of the Lower Church, parking lot repairs, repairs of the mosaic and stained glass windows in the Upper Church, defibrillator equipment and train-ing, restroom renova ons, I/T and security equipment purchases, and other uses. Thank you for your con nued prayers and support.

PATHWAY TO HEAL Divorced, Widowed, and Separated Group
History: the past is the reason for the present. We are living the present, and we have to hope for the future! How did life get out of control? What went wrong? Where did the chaos come from? The dreams have vanished. Why? "The Plan" was altered. I own my history, the treasured memories and yes, the broken promises like broken bubbles. Is there a bright future and new dream to look forward to? I learned something else: there was a Plan, and I was being led. The more I trusted my instincts, what I wanted, and what felt right, the more I felt that I was being led. Is this new plan, a new and better plan filled with new dreams and new hopes? You must have hope and believe God knows where your next chapter is taking you; it is where you need to be. The Pathway to Heal group came out of my own chaos and with lots of guidance from those who cared. So many people have come through its doors. A place to learn, a place to share - this is a place to discuss our lives’ new adventures and new challenges. From my chaos so much good has come: people have joined and found bits of healing, small pieces one piece at a time, together they make some sense of the loss of a loved one or the vanished dreams of a marriage. I have learned from the past and I have high hopes for the future. Come join us the sec-ond and fourth Thursdays of the month.
The next meeting is Thursday, July 6 at 7:00PM St. Michael's Living Room, 6 West End Court, West End, NJ.
Please Join Us, All Are Welcomed.

Our Extraordinary Ministers made 13 Communion/shut-in visits and one Stephen Ministry visit during this past week. We pray that we have helped to bring God’s love and peace to His people in need.
Love If I do not have love, it profits me nothing. 1 Cor 13:3
“The first task of love is to acknowledge before God that we belong to Him alone. We owe our lives to Him alone. Hence, our hearts must be free of everything that concerns anyone else.” St. Zeno
My prayer: My loving Creator, I readily acknowledge that I belong to You. Help me to keep my heart free of all earthly distractions so that I may be united to You with all my being.
Extraordinary Ministers are available to visit and bring Communion to the sick and he elderly, and to bring Communion. Please contact us if you need us at 732-483-0360 ext. 120.
