MISSION APPEAL – WEEKEND OF MAY 21-22
Fr Joseph Lin, a Vincentian priest and Sr. Martina will come to our parish to do a Mission Appeal on the weekend of May 21-22 in the name of the Chinese Province of the Congregation of the Mission. He would like to ask all parishioners to support the needs of ongoing formation for priests and nuns, through a program designed for pastoral leadership in China called “The Chinese Leadership Initiative” which aims at compassionate and collaborative ministry. Please consider giving a generous financial gift to this program. Thank you!
St. James Columbiettes will be taking up a collection after all the Masses
this weekend for Seminarians and Postulants. The money collected will help them with
their study expenses. Six are chosen throughout the State. In the past, some of the
Seminarians that were with us were recipients of these donations. If you would like to donate
by check, please make it out to St. James Columbiettes and mail to Sandra Bohinski, PO Box 546, Helmetta, NJ 08828
