 RESPECT LIFE/RIGHT TO LIFE MINISTRY

Meetings are held on the last Thursday of each month at 7 pm in Msgr. Casey Hall. All are invited to join us in our efforts to defend all life, and  to  "wrong the right" . We keep informed on all current issues, write, call, fax or e mail our elected representatives regarding issues coming up for a vote and letting them know where we stand on such issues. With the assistance of our Diocesan Office and the NCCCB our aim is to educate and inform our parishioners about the many life issues and decisions that we are dealing with in today's world.  

Each county holds a bi annual regional meeting with the other  parish reps in that specific county. Host parishes hold the meetings on a rotating basis where reports and  idea's are shared.  We place penny jars at the doors of the church to raise money which is all used for respect life purposes. We support pro life groups such as Priests for Life, NJ Right to Life, Good Counsel Homes, Madonna House, Life Dynamics, and such organizations dealing with families, mothers and children in need. We participate in the annual march for life in Washington DC each year.  

Our choir practices on Wednesday night at 7 pm and all men and women are invited to join us as we gather to sing God's praise. We sing at the 11 AM mass on Sunday as well as the masses for special feast days and holidays. During the summer, singing is optional at the 11 am mass for those who wish to attend. WE each pay $2.00 a month to cover the cost of gifts, cards, stationery/supplies etc when needed. In June we celebrate with a farewell get together until we return again in September.
