"When God gives a vision, God makes provision." Mark Batterson in The Circle Maker God has blessed the St. Vincent de Paul Society with faithful contributors of money donations and faithful participants in our fundraising efforts. It is through His provision that we are able to continue our ministry of helping the less fortunate. We encourage everyone to visit our table during the Italian Festival, August 13-16 and inquire about our 25% off Boscov shopping pass which can be purchased for $5.00. Also, if you are interested in joining our ministry, newcomers are always welcome. We hope to see you there.

Through the intercession of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary, I place in your care those I come to remember.

Regular ticket prices during the festival are: 1 ticket for $1.00; 14 tickets for $10 and 30 tickets for $20.

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is a process where you can experience the Catholic faith community. It is an opportunity for questions to be answered and for learning about the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church. Are you: A person who has not been baptized and would like
to learn more about the Catholic faith, and become a Catholic
A Baptized Christian of another denomination who would like to learn about and join the Catholic tradition?
A baptized Roman Catholic who has not received Eucharist or Confirmation and would like to become a full participant in the life of the Church?
The Christian Initiation process offers an environment of support and guidance as you discover God is working in your life. Through RCIA, the Epiphany parish community can help you fulfill this faith journey. If you think the RCIA program is for you, and you would like registration information, please call Michele in the Religious Ed office 732-785-0872. Classes begin in October.

Gospel: John 6:41-51 The Jews were not convinced that Jesus was the bread that came down from heaven. But he again explains that he is the bread of life. He tells them that anyone who believes and eats this bread shall live forever. He explains that the bread he will give is his flesh, for the life of the world. “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were sealed for the day of redemption. All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice. And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.” When Paul wrote to the Ephesians, he included a shopping list for what we need and what we should eliminate from our lives. The KFC we can easily remember. They are virtues which we seek and surely manifest in many ways. The negatives we might overlook, and perhaps do not see them as barriers or obstacles when we consider receiving the Eucharist. Paul is not referring to simple annoyances, as heat or storms, but as real vices directed at other people. Let’s offer a remedy: First pray for the person or persons against whom we direct rage, fury and anger.
Second, when we find it hard to ‘forgive and forget’ then remember, but without bitterness. The vices make us less human, less loving and selfish, less lovable. The Lord speaks to us as He did Elijah ‘Get up and eat, else the journey will be too long for you.’ The gift of the Eucharist offers us even greater spiritual strength to live the way Paul taught the Ephesians.

more at a special Eucharistic liturgy (Mass) and blessing celebration at 3:00pm on Sunday,
