As you are probably aware, church attendance during the summer months tends to drop off as vacations and weekend sporting events often conflict. On the other hand, the services we provide within the parish, our summer seasonal expences as well as services for the larger community of paramus continue year round. Thus, your consistent financial support of our parish is vital to achieving our stewardship mission. The easiest way to be sure that your gift of treasure reaches us, even when you cannot be here, is through enrollment in our electronic offertory program: "MY VANCO". If you have not yet enrolled in "My VANCO", I encourage you to consider doing so this month by clicking ON THE ABOVE IMAGE here. Once you have enrolled, you can relax knowing that ANNUNCIATION Church will receive your gifts throughout the summer MONTHS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!! HAVE A GREAT SUMMER AND DON'T TAKE A VACATION FROM YOUR VOCATION AS DISCIPLES OF THE LORD!!!

Why Visitation Academy?!
First and foremost, Visitation Academy is a community of faith. We start each day with prayer and attend mass together once a week. Throughout the year, faith continues to be molded as we hold special prayer services and participate in Catholic devotions such as praying the rosary. The importance of service is instilled in our students through various food and toy drives in addition to praying for people suffering from natural disaster and student’s families that need prayers in our own community. At Visitation we know we are part of a bigger family. When one of us is suffering or is in need of prayers we know that the entire school community will be there to pray for us and give support in any way possible.Academics at Visitation is second to none! We are a National Blue Ribbon School of excellence and Middle States Accredited. Our belief is that by infusing the Archdiocesan curriculum with technology and cooperative lessons in our classrooms, we will help prepare our students for the challenges that lie ahead of them.
Our Early Childhood Center is equipped with State of the Art security, a fenced in play area, a break out room for dance and play time, NJ State Certified ECC Teachers and a technology room enabling hands on technology instruction.
Once you visit Visitation, I am sure you will understand “WHY Visitation Academy” for your family!

F.A.M.I.L.Y.
Having just arrived at Annunciation you will hear me make mention of on many occasions the acronym F.A.M.I.L.Y. (Forget About Me I Love You). You may recall that just about 6 months ago the parishes of our Archdiocese embarked upon our Annual Campaign which offers you and I an opportunity to reflect upon FAMILY, particularly our extended FAMILY MEMBERS whom we assist each year through the Annual Appeal of the Archdiocese. As a model of authentic stewardship, Jesus was not merely a man of words. He invited His disciples into His FAMILY – He nourished them with His life-giving Word and they, the Apostles, witnessed His mighty deeds to serve the larger FAMILY of humanity and they too were sent out to serve the HUMAN FAMILY. Ponder this thought for a moment - He gave Himself totally to them - His time, His goods, and ultimately, His very life.
We don’t very often identify ourselves as “disciples” in word, that is “Hi, I’m Leo and I’m a disciple of the Lord Jesus”. However we all seek to exemplify that we are disciples of the Lord Jesus through our service to the needy – making of ourselves as a “gift” to the FAMILY.
Like you I too received a letter from Cardinal Tobin about the start of the 2021 Annual Appeal of the Archdiocese of Newark and I have made my own pledge towards the appeal. More information about our parish’s involvement in this year’s appeal will soon be made available in our parish bulletin. In a short time I will be meeting with our Pastoral & Finance Councils to discuss our overall fiscal status as well as the Annual Appeal. For now, more than ever, your support is needed to fulfill the mission of the Church within our four counties, particularly to assist our needy brothers and sisters who are FAMILY. Please know I would never ask you to participate in anything that I would not support. I'm with you - as FAMILY! To make a gift online, please click HERE.
