Please Join Us Next Weekend

September 29th and 30th!

The Annual Parish Ministry Fair at St. Michael’s

will be held before and after all the Saturday and Sun-day Masses (excluding the 12:00 Noon Sunday Mass) next weekend September 29-30. The fair will include displays and tables staffed by members of all of our

parish ministries who will be providing information

about their ministry’s work, brochures, and answers to your questions. Those who are interested in learn-ing more, receiving a follow-up phone call, exploring the possibility of receiving ministry services (for ex-ample: Holy Communion brought to a loved one

who is homebound), and/or becoming a ministry volunteer (for example: lector, usher, choir member, catechist, etc.) will be able to leave their name and contact information with the ministry representatives at the tables. The Ministry Fair will provide you with a chance to consider and discern ways that you can be more fully involved in the life of our parish and utilize your talents, skills, and time to assist and serve parish and

community, as well as consider new/additional ways through which the Holy Spirit might be calling you to share of yourself and your God-given talents. Through the gifts of time and talent that our pa-rishioners so generously share we are able to truly be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in our parish and community. May the Holy Spirit continue to inspire and guide our ministries and volunteers and call others to join in this unique way of living the Gospel message through service to our parish family.

Fall Campaign: September 26, 2018 to

November 4, 2018

This Fall, people throughout the country are in-

vited to take part in the 40 Days for Life effort. We

are asked to commit to prayer and fasting for an end

to abortion in America and throughout the world. In

addition to 40 days of prayer and fasting, please

consider volunteering to pray outside of Planned

Parenthood, 69 E. Newman Springs Road, Shrews-

bury, NJ.

St. Michael’s Parish will once again participate

in the very important ministry, “40 Days For Life”.

The fall campaign begins September 26 and runs

through November 4, 2018. We are partnering with

other local parishes, conducting peaceful, prayerful

vigils at the Planned Parenthood facility on New-

man Springs Road in Shrewsbury, where abor-

tions are performed.

40 Days for Life vigils are the last line of defense

for babies who are minutes away from being killed

through abortion. In fact, former abortion industry

workers report that when vigil participants are on

site, the no-show rate for abortion appointments can

be as high as 75%.

“As Catholics we have a responsibility to stand

for Life!”

Now more than ever, we need you to come and

join us. Please bring your Rosary, a friend (or two),

and stand up with us Mondays starting October 1st

through October 29th for one hour, between the

hours of 8AM and 6PM at Planned Parenthood in

Shrewsbury.

For questions, and/or to sign up, please call Mary

Richards at (732) 222-1562 or email:

recovery. Please make any checks payable to St.

Parish Day of Prayer for Vocations Saturday, November 3, 2018

Outdoor repairs and routine

maintenance continued during the

past two weeks. The red and

white New Guinea impatiens

(which proved to be a good fit

with our sunny, ocean-front envi-

ronment) were removed last

week and replaced this week with

autumn mums which we hope

will be in full bloom by our Par-

ish Ministry Fair Weekend. The

roofers completed water-

proofing repairs to the pan be-

low the pedestal under the

Blessed Mother’s statue and

returned the newly painted stat-

ue to its niche above the

church’s main entrance. The

latest roof repairs above the St.

Ann’s Chapel were also com-

pleted.

Saint Michael's parishioners submitted nearly 200 prayer intentions that were brought to the original Infant of Prague statue in Prague, Czech Republic at the be-ginning of the month by our pilgrim parishioners. The Infant promised to Father Cyr-il: "The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you!" Since then the infant Jesus has not ceased to perform miracles and to give graces to many faithful around the world. We have some Infant of Prague prayer cards (pictured below) available in the back of the church. Enjoy.

O Infant Jesus, I run to You, Begging You through Your Holy Mother To save me in this need (mention it here), For I truly and firmly believe That Your Divinity can defend me. Full of trust I hope in You To obtain Your holy grace. I love You with all my heart, I am painfully sorry for my sins And on my knees I beg You, O Little Jesus, to free me from them. My resolution is to improve And never more to offend You. Therefore, I offer myself to You, Ready to suffer everything for You And to serve You faithfully. I will love my neighbor as myself From my heart for the love of you. O little Jesus, I adore You, O Mighty Child, I implore You, Save me in this need (mention it here), That I may enjoy You eternally, With Mary and Joseph see You, And with all the angels adore You.

Amen.

During the past week a number of new pledges have been received for the Annual

10.4% of our parish families have now responded to the campaign. Our parish

recently and also to those who contributed earlier in the year. The need still exists

and is still urgent. If you have not responded to the Annual Appeal and have

the financial ability to make a contribution, please prayerfully consider making

a pledge to this very worthy and important cause. Pledge cards may be found in

the pews; and when completed the pledge cards may be placed in the collection

basket during the Offertory Collection at Mass or mailed to, or dropped off at, the

Pastoral Care

Stephen and Paduan Ministries

Our Extraordinary Ministers made fourteen (14) Communion/shut-in visits and one (2) Ste-phen Ministry visits during this past week. We pray that we have helped to bring God’s love and peace to His people in need. Those Who Care

The needs of others should be our own needs. For those who care and willingly give of themselves to others, we pray that God will re-ward them with special graces and love for their kindness and compassion. Too often we forget to thank those who do so much for others and generously give of themselves to anyone who needs their help, support and love.

Our Prayer: Heavenly Father of all living be-ings, please give me a loving and caring heart. Help me to reach out to my brothers and sisters with love and compassion.

Our Extraordinary Ministers are available for our parishioners to visit the sick; the elderly; and bring Communion. Please contact us if you need us – 732-483-0360, Ext. 120.

PARISH COUNSELING SERVICES

A joint effort of the Diocese of Trenton and

Catholic Charities provides licensed professionals for

your pastor or parish priest for additional information

and referral. The fee is $90 per session, but, if needed,

financial assistance is available through the Diocese of

Trenton Parish Counseling Services.

Please wish Michael Taylor well and keep him in your prayers. Michael (for 22 years) has provided beautiful sacred music at our Sunday 4:00 p.m. Mass and at other liturgies as our organist. He has accepted the position of Music Director at Saint Joseph’s Church in Stuart, Florida and has relo-cated there with his family. Thank you, Michael, for your many years of faithful and excellent music ministry at St. Michael’s Church. God bless!
