ENVELOPES FOR SCHOOL SUBSIDY AND
CHURCH MAINTENANCE
Thank you for contributing to offset our church maintenance and school subsidy obligations. Anything you are able to give by using the green maintenance or yellow school envelopes, located in the vestibule, is deeply appreciated. As with a home, there are ongoing repair and maintenance projects. The metal landing at the back door of the Lyceum was repaired, at a cost of $1,500. Parishes are expected to continue to support the Catholic Academy of Sussex County. We have been fortunate in the last several years that the Academy has maintained all areas occupied by ICRS. However, maintenance of the school building and modular units has reverted back to the Parish.
Weekly Contributions
Last Week’s Collection: $ 3,577
2016-2017 Diocesan Assessment: $21,960 Collected to Date (Project Faith): $ 1,169
Please know that we are most appreciative for all of your donations. We all know how difficult things are financially for families. So, too, is it to run a parish, as expenses continue to rise. The parish is dependent on income from collections and Mass stipends. Our Sunday collections continue to fall short of needed revenue. We are most grateful for your continued and increased generosity in support of our parish. For whatever you are able to give, may God bless you; you and your intentions are always in our prayers. Remember, God always rewards a generous giver.
To receive credit for your donations, please use our envelope system and write the amount of your
contribution on your envelope.
We ask that you please remember to support your parish when attending Mass elsewhere over the
summer.
Annual Mission Co-Op Appeal This weekend, Rev. Ligory Philips of the Diocese of Ramanathapuramm, India, is speaking at all Masses as
part of the 2016 Missionary Cooperation Plan. There is a basket at the back of the Church this
weekend for the annual Mission Co-Op Collection.

PARISH NOTES During the warm summer months, please keep in mind that you are visiting the House of the Lord when attending Mass. Please dress comfortably
but modestly. Thank You.
Prayers for the Sick Names included in the weekly Prayers of the
Faithful are those who are currently hospitalized, undergoing surgery or who have recently died.
Beginning August 14, names will be read at weekend Masses for three weeks, then moved to
the bulletin in the event of a chronic illness. Those prayed for as “those listed in the bulletin”
will receive the full benefit of our prayers. We have postponed this action for two weeks, so that all parishioners will have an opportunity to
see the bulletin notice and/or hear the announcement at weekend Masses.
Please check Page 5 of the bulletin and advise the Parish Office if any names are missing or should
be removed. Hospitals do not notify us when parishioners are in the
hospital. They will only do so if specifically requested by the patient. The parish office should be notified by a family member to include names in Prayers of the
Faithful. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
R C I A If you are an adult, or know of an adult who desires to be baptized, or receive First Communion or Confirmation, please contact the parish office. RCIA is aimed at helping a person who wants to become a Catholic, or receive the Sacraments of Initiation. If you
would like to be, or are asked to be, a Godparent for Baptism or Sponsor for Confirmation, you must be confirmed. RCIA classes will begin in the Fall.

LEGION OF MARY All practicing Catholics, men and women, are
welcome to join. Meetings are held on Tuesdays at 7:15pm.
As we approach the 150th anniversary of our parish, please continue to pray the “Loaded Rosary” project. You will recall the striped packets which were lovingly conceived and launched by Rosanne Huttman on the
occasion of her retirement. In case you have forgotten, loaded rosaries are to be “prayed forward”
each week for a person in our parish, then given to them to select and pray for someone else the following
week. If you have one of these packets in your possession, please sign the book in the next few weeks. The idea is to fill the coming months with prayer for each other, and for the spiritual growth of the parish
as a whole. God bless you all.
The celebration of the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary will take place at 7pm on
Monday, August 15th. The Legion of Mary would like to encourage all who can to attend this beautiful
celebration, including Holy Mass, Novena to the Immaculate Conception, Adoration and Benediction,
ending at 8:10pm. Children are encouraged to bring a bouquet of flowers to present to Our Lady, and to lead a decade of the rosary. Call Jenny Murphy with any
questions 862-684-0984. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
