Easter Baskets & Goodies
Collected for the Needy
The Social Concerns Ministry of Our Lady of

distribute to the needy. By distributing Easter treats
to less fortunate families, it reduces the stress on the
parents and allows the children to join in the
tradition of the season.
Everyone is invited to participate by donating
what you feel would bring a smile to a child’s face at
Easter.
Please bring Easter baskets and goodies to the
rectory any time between now and Palm Sunday,
April 17, 2011.
Please contact the rectory office for details.
Attention
Children
Ages 1-10
Come join us for the Annual Easter Egg Hunt!
Easter Sunday after the 9:00 a.m. Mass by the

would be very nice if the older children assisted the
younger children in finding Easter Eggs!!
If anyone is interested in helping to prepare for this
event, please contact Maureen Miller at

Operation Starfish collection boxes are
on the tables in the back of church
should you need one.
There is something each of us can do to help
others who are in need. Participate in our Parish-
Wide Lenten Project, Operation Starfish. If we,
as the Parish of Our Lady of Peace, can donate a
collective amount of $3,200, we can sponsor a
modest house for a family and perhaps change
the direction of their lives. We can give a
homeless Haitian family even something more
than a home; we can give them a smile . . . .
This project is sponsored by Food for the Poor,
and you can view their website at
www.foodforthepoor.org.
If we are able to collect enough to donate a
house, Bread for the World will send us a photo
of our sponsored family in front of their new
home, and a model of the house.
Any monies received over the amount needed for
a home for a Haitian family will be donated to
help those recently devastated in Japan.
Please consider participating with your family.
FROM THE CATECHETICAL OFFICE
IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY
One of the most rewarding things you can do is
share your faith with the young people of our
parish as a catechist who teaches in our
Religious Education Program. Have you thought
about it? The requirements are simple: a love
for God, love for our Catholic faith, and love for
children.
Religious Education sessions for children in
grades k – 6 are held on Wednesdays or
Thursdays at 3:30 – 4:45 pm. Sessions for
grades 7 – 8 are on Wednesday evenings at 7:15
– 8:30.
Why not call to talk about becoming a catechist -
-- no commitment necessary. We’ll tell you
Page 8
what’s involved and answer your questions!
We provide training and the materials you will
need. Call Carol Skrocki, Pastoral Associate for
Catechetics at 908-464-8156. It’s a great way to
learn more about your faith as you share with the
children. A baby sitting service is offered for
younger children of catechists.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
REGISTRATION
Religious Education registration packets for
September 2011/2012 will be mailed to families
of current students on or about April 15. Be sure
to look for yours in the mail. Additional packets
and information will be on the tables in the back
of the church shortly after that date.
All Catholic children attending public schools
should attend religious education classes so that
they may be well grounded in our faith and be
prepared for the sacraments. You may either
mail your completed forms to the Catechetical
Office or drop them off at our Office located in
the rectory. It helps us greatly if you register
early before June 15. It enables us to take
advantage of early order vendor discounts, and to
prepare for the fall over the quieter summer
months.
Do you have a child entering first grade in
September?
Please don’t delay registering your young one.
Our First Reconciliation and Eucharist
preparation begins in grade one. Children
generally receive First Reconciliation in the
second grade and First Communion in the third
grade after they have experienced full
preparation during those three years.
Call or visit the Catechetical Office with any
questions. (908-464-8156).
KINDERGARTEN SESSIONS
Our Lady of Peace parish also offers religious
education for kindergarten aged children at a
reduced fee. Kindergarten classes are not
‘required’ but parents often want their children to
begin classes at this age. Please call the
Catechetical Office at 908-464-8156 for
information.
