Are you in grades 2- 8 and like to sing or play an instrument (Guitar, Bass, Key Board, Winds, Drums, etc) ? We are hoping to start a Youth Praise Team and are looking to see how many of our young people would be interested. Rehearsals would be once or twice a month at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday and the choir would sing at special liturgies throughout the year - beginning with one of the Christmas Masses. Should you be interested and have any questions please contact our Director of Music Ministry, Jim Carlo @ jvc333@optonline.net or call the Parish Center @ 201-261-6322. All Are Welcome!!! -
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.
