It is an opportunity to identify our parishioners and allow us to serve our parish community accordingly. In doing so, we will be able to recognize the needs of our parishioners and provide the services our families may require. Committee: Parish Used Ink Cartridges Wanted Saint Theresa School is collecting used ink jet and laser printer cartridges They will forward them to a recycling center and the proceeds will benefit our School's Computer Department. The cartridges may be dropped off at the school or arrangements can be made by calling the school at 908-276-7220. Committee: STS Salesian Sisters’ Centennial Corner 1920’s-The Salesian Sisters’ family kept growing. More space was needed! The young women asking to join the community needed a place to live; young people needed a school in which to learn; poor children needed a place to live. Our Lady Help of Christians would not leave her daughters abandoned. The Muhr Estate in North Haledon, NJ, became available to the Sisters and became home for the Sisters. This property, now, Mary Help of Christians Academy, still serves as the center of the life and ministry of all the Sisters. Committee: Salesian Sisters’ Centennial Corner Eucharist for Homebound If you know of someone who cannot attend Mass (homebound, sick, etc.) and would like to receive Communion at home, please call the Rectory 272-4444. Committee: Eucharistic Ministers Receive Communion Do you have difficulty coming up to receive
Communion? Committee: Eucharistic Ministers Family Counseling Services Family Counseling Services are available here at St. Theresa's. These include: marriage, parent-child, adolescent, and individual sessions. Student assistance (guidance counseling) for elementary and high school pupils. Please call Joseph P. Marciniak, ACSW, LMFC, at (973)743-4368 for more information. Committee: Parish Another Reason To Use Your Weekly Offertory Envelopes With the new IRS tax rules they forbid tax deductions for charitable donations unless the donor can prove the donation through receipts or other financial records. Previously, the IRS allowed the personal notes: diaries or bank registers as proof that a $5, $10 or $20 donation was made. In New Jersey, more than 40% of the 4.1 million tax returns filled annually took advantage of itemized deductions. Using weekly offertory envelopes enables the parishes to provide a statement of deductions at the end of the year, which satisfies the new IRS deduction requirements. Won't you pick your envelopes up today! Committee: Parish Common Courtesy God sees and knows all about each of us, we don’t necessarily need to see and know all. Please dress appropriately respecting yourself, one another, and the Lord. Beeping pagers, blinking Bluetooth earpieces and ringing cell phones have no place sounding off at Mass. Please silence all equipment before you enter the church. Thank you. Committee: Parish Divine Mercy Devotions Sunday, May 4, Hold a Special Devotion for Divine Mercy Sunday. Beginning at the Hour of Mercy, 3:00 PM, we will have the Mercy Stations, followed by Mass, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the sung Mercy Chaplet, and Benediction. Come join us! We will have these Devotions on the first Sunday of each month. Committee: Parish New Announcements may be sent to WebMaster@iCatholicZone.com |
