This Pastoral Letter is a reflection on my pastoral visits to all 90 parishes within our diocese as well as visits to many Catholic schools, institutions and varied ministries and ethnic groups since I became your Shepherd last May.

If you have a warm heart, a listening ear, and the gift of compassion, you can make a difference in the life of a hospice patient or family member. VNA Health Group is offering training for all individuals interested in becoming hospice volunteers in several counties throughout New Jersey.

I am looking to form a spiritually based women’s group that will be modeled after the program developed by Lisa Brenninkmeyer called Walking With A Purpose.

On this the Third Sunday of Ordinary Time the beginning of the Gospel of Saint Luke is proclaimed. The evangelist Saint Luke, the dear and glorious physician, who became a disciple of the Lord Jesus through the ministry of the Apostle Paul writes an account of the life of Jesus the Christ for his patron, Theophilus.

“There was a Wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there….” With these words Saint John the Evangelist opens one of the most beautiful accounts in the New Testament.

Blessings for the New Year 2019! Please allow me to express my gratitude to all of our parish ministers and pastoral staff for all of their hard work throughout the Advent and Christmas Season.

Today is the 12th day of Christmas the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord. Jesus Christ manifested in the flesh and revealed unto the Gentiles as Savior of the World.
