The Sharing etwork 2nd Annual 5K Run / Walk Sunday, June 10, 2012
The early morning hours of Sunday June 10th promises to be a busy one around our borough and for our parish. On that morning, over 200 teams will run or walk a 5K though out New Providence in support of organ and tissue donation. Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI affirmed that Organ donation is a unique testimony of charity in his opening remarks to an international congress organized by the Pontifical Academy for Life in Rome 2008. Like all charitable endeavors, the need always outpace supply. The Sharing Network (sharenj.org) is committed to equalizing the imbalance by organized events like the annual 5K. This event brings together all those affected by donation to unite under a common messagewhich is that more of us need to register and express our desire to be an organ and tissue donor. This year, a team has been organized to participate in memory of a parishioner and in honor of those he gave the gift of life to. Please take just a few moments to register your intent and encourage others to do the same. Visit www.sharenj.org for more information. Thank you and God Bless you.

What Is A Priest To Do???????

If a priest preaches over 10 minutes, he is long winded; if his sermon is short, he is not prepared. If the parish funds are high, he is a business man; if he mentions money, he is money mad. If he visits his parishioners, he is nosy; if he doesnt, he is snobbish. If he has fairs and bazaars, he is bleeding the people; if he doesnt there is no life in the parish. If he takes time in the confessional to give guidance, he takes too long; if he doesnt he doesnt care. If he celebrates the liturgy quietly, he is a bore; if he puts feeling into it, he is an actor. If he starts Mass on time, his watch is fast; if he is late, he is holding up the people.
