MASS INTENTIONS FOR 2022 Our 2022 MASS BOOK will open Wednesday, July 7th, 9:30 AM—12:30
PM in the Parish Center. Keep in mind there will be a 6 Mass limit per reservation. Please adhere to the times given as we will not be taking any reservations earlier. Thank you for your cooperation.

SCHOLARSHIP RAFFLE UPDATE Winners announced. Prizes delivered. Planning for a new raffle underway. WATCH for “roll-out” July, ’21! Covid-19 claimed another change as the revenue being generated was way behind past years. After identifying workable options parishioners were polled. Their inputs led to identifying 6 winners. Each received the same prize - 1/6th of the total. Since income was lower than past years this award provided the winners with a more meaningful sum. As we move past Covid-19’s impact, look for the announcement of a recast Scholarship Raffle July, 2021.

Dear Parishioners, Credit Cards I try to do my banking with companies that don’t support intrinsic evils. I received the advertisement on the next page for a credit card that supports good causes including our own parish. Amazon Smile When I purchase items on Amazon, I go to smile.amazon.com and have selected “St John Con-ference St Vincent De Paul Society Location: Lake-hurst, NJ” as the charity I want to support. Collection Baskets The Flocknote poll results prompted us to keep the collection baskets near the entrances of our church. Seating & New Mass Schedule We added parish hall seating for those who can sit close together. We can comfortably seat 300 people at Mass and strategically reach 450+. We no longer need 6 Sunday Masses but are not ready to go back to 4. So, we will have 5 Sunday Masses starting in July when the 2 PM Mass will give way to Sunday baptisms at 1:15 PM. New Record & Reunions This summer may be an excellent time to reunite with family and friends we haven’t see since the lockdown. Even better, it’s a great time to reunite with Jesus inside our church. We welcomed 766 people inside our church last weekend which surpassed our Easter number of 748. I was so delighted to see so many people back in church for Mass. Please invite your neighbors, friends, family, and fellow parishioners back to Mass. Father’s Day May God abundantly bless all of our fathers and give them the courage and strength they need to continue to sacrifice for their families, our parish, and our communities. God love you, Fr. Jim O’Neill [email protected]
