Outreach February 2026

We are collecting bars of soap (not travel-sized) and washcloths or 100% cotton yarn (to be knitted into washcloths). These will be donated to a homeless shelter. There is a container in the narthex. 

See Kathy S. if you have any questions – and thank you!

Gift Cards for Families in Need

We are collecting gift cards from ShopRite or Walmart to give to families in need who have a loved one detained at Delaney Hall in Newark.

Please mark the amount of the card on the back if it is not visible on the front. Cards can be given to Kathy Shanklin, Fr. Rob, or you can drop them in the offering plate or in the box labeled “Gift Cards” in the Narthex.

I was hungry and you fed me….

I was in prison and you visited me…

Lenten Study 2026

When: Mondays in Lent: February 23 – March 16, 2026

Time: 7:00 pm (Rosary at 6:30pm)

Our Lenten Study this year will help parishioners learn more about Carmelite Spirituality, which is one of the major themes of Fr. Rob’s Sabbatical Retreat.

We will be using the book Carmel Notes: A Compendium of Carmelite Spirituality by John Welch, O. Carm. The book may be purchased on Amazon as a paperback or Kindle book. The cost is $21. 

Please let Fr. Rob+ know if you would like to participate, but the cost of the book is prohibitive. 

Annual Meeting 2026

Our parish annual meeting will take place on Sunday, February 1, 2026.

In place of the Homily, Fr. Rob will give his Annual Meeting Address. The annual meeting will resume in the church at the end of the 10:30 a.m. Mass. There will be only one joint Mass on that Sunday.

Bagels and coffee will be provided after the meeting. We hope you can join us!
