Bulletin May 7, 2017

Altar Candles: The altar candles are burning during the month of April for: +George and +Ann Hametz.

Let Us Remember in Prayer: Those who are ill or convalescing. May our Lord Jesus Christ, the Physician and Healer of souls and bodies, grant them peace and good health for many blessed years.
Please let Fr. Lewis know if anyone should be added or taken away from this prayer list.

The Mystery of Repentance: Every Catholic in good standing is required to avail themselves of the Sacrament of Repentance at least once each year. Please do not withhold God’s forgiveness by avoiding this Sacrament of Healing. “In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand” (Matt. 3:1-2).

Byzantine Catholic Inquiry Classes: These will begin on Sunday, May 21 after the Divine Liturgy. We will have a simple lunch and then begin class. Those who are interested, please let Fr. Lewis know.

Questionnaire for the 2018 Synod of Bishops on Young People, the Faith and Vocational Discernment: Following is the Questionnaire which the Vatican has issued in preparation for the Synod. You can complete it right on this website by following the link www.eparchyofpassaic.com. Please answer the questions to the best of your ability. Kindly go all the way to the end and remember to mark DONE, so your responses can be included in the document which I will present to the Synod.
Thank you for your cooperation and time,
Archbishop William Skurla
Synod Father

Mary and the Month of May: During the month of May we will be celebrating the Akathist to the Theotokos every week.

Eparchial Pilgrimages: Fr. Conan and Fr. Lewis are interested in grouping together so the faithful may attend this year’s pilgrimages. We would like to get a bus or van booked so that as many as possible can attend these important spiritual events. Please consider attending these events and place them on your calendar. Information will be coming soon.
