from Fr. Pawel

This will be the third year now that the annual ECUMENICAL LENTEN LUNCHES held at the First Presbyterian Church have been cancelled due to COVID 19. In lieu of this cancelled ecumenical event the Methodist Church of the Rockaways located on Hoagland Avenue invites residents to join them each Friday at Noon for a musical program of reflection. We pray that next Lent will allow us to return to our Lenten lunches for ecumenical fellowship.

“Helping Others Encounter Jesus in the Eucharist” is the title of a free on line event which will take place on Wednesday, March 23rd from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm. The speaker is Dr. James C. Pauley, Professor of Theology and Catechesis at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio. For additional information please visit: www.insidethewalls.org/zoom.

Several drives are taking place in our local area to help the people of Ukraine. Your support is greatly appreciated: Sacred Heart of Jesus Church will be collecting cash and/or checks (made payable to Sacred Heart Church with UKRAINE written in the memo line), Medical/Infant Supplies for Ukraine throughout Lent; Pain relievers like Advil or Tylenol, alcohol swabs, ice packs, bandaids, first aid supplies, diapers, wipes, sanitary pads, infant formula and Ensure is needed. A bin will be located in the back of church and can also be dropped off at the rectory during business hours. If you have any religious items such as rosaries, holy pictures, small prayer books, crucifixes or medals, there will be a separate bin for those items. Morris Catholic High School’s medical supply drive will run from now until March 18th. Items may be dropped off at the main entrance of Morris Catholic High School.
