July 26 – 2nd Collection
As Catholics observe on July 26 the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, established by Pope Francis in 2021, the Diocese of Trenton will take up its special collection during July 25-26 Masses for the Retired, Elderly and Infirm Priests Fund. The annual collection is taken up in all Catholic churches across Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean counties, coinciding with the Feast of Saints Joachim and Anne, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandparents of Jesus. Begun in 2022 by Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., the fund supports more than 80 priests of the Diocese in their retirement housing and healthcare needs.
Book Club
The Nativity Book Club will meet on Monday, July 27 at 7pm in the Parish Library to discuss The Dressmaker by Kate Alcott. A story of class differences on the Titanic with a focus on the aftermath investigation into the disaster. Rich in historical detail. All are welcome.
