2010 US Census Job Opportunities

Announcements, Parish Life /

Preparation Meetings are held in our Parish hall. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday February 24, 2009 from 2 P.M. to 5 P.M.

The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting temporary, part-time census takers for the 2010 Census. These short-term jobs offer good pay, flexible hours, paid training, and reimbursement for authorized work-related expenses, such as mileage incurred while conducting census work. Best of all – census takers work right in their own communities.

Census taker jobs are excellent for people who want to work part-time, those who are between jobs, or just about anyone who wants to earn extra money while performing an important service for their community. Census takers usually work in their own communities, going door-to-door, conducting brief personal interviews with neighbors, helping them to complete their census questionnaire.

What will I do? As a census taker, you will: Locate households / Explain the purpose of the census / Conduct brief personal interviews with residents / Record responses on paper forms . For more information please call: 1-866-861-2010.

Shopping Certificates

Announcements /

The easiest way to support our Building Fund is by purchasing weekly shopping certificates. The shopping certificates you can use also as gift cards for any occasion. The Building Fund is needed to finance any future repairs and maintenance of our facility.

Certificates are available for STOP & SHOP, A&P, PATHMARK, FOODTOWN and SHOPRITE. Every time you use one of these cards to purchase your groceries you are helping your church at no cost to you. For example, if you purchase $100 in certificates each week, The Parish receives $5 each time and in one year you will be contributing about $250 to the building fund. Please encourage other members of the Parish and friends to join in this wonderful project. If you have any questions, call Lucy Daum 973-694-9457, or Merry Sleece 973-731-3611.

Thank you for your support.

Ash Wednesday – The Beginning Of Lent

Announcements, Parish Life, PNCC /

On Wednesday, February 17, 2010 the Church begins the season of Lent. On that day two Masses will be celebrated: at 12:00 P.M. with the Blessing and distribution of Ashes and at 7:00 p.m. with the Blessing and distribution of Ashes.

Spiritual reflection for Ash Wednesday: Beginning on Ash Wednesday we are called to repent, to change our minds about the way we live our lives in the sight of God. In the reading from the Book of the Prophet Joel we will hear that he summoned infants, children, the newly married and the elderly to an assembly of prayer indicating that they were repenting. Ash Wednesday summons everyone to enter into a forty-day fast. All are called to pray. All are invited to give alms. We will all gather on Ash Wednesday because we know that we need to “to return to the Lord.” Joel tells us that we can do that only by returning with our whole hearts, that is, with a motivation that is deep inside us. The ashes marking a cross on our foreheads will indicate that we are entering in the Lenten period of change that will leave us never to be the same again.

During the season of Lent all parishioners are welcome to attend Lenten Devotions.

On Friday you are invited to attend Stations of the Cross with the reading on the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ at 7:30 PM. This will give us the opportunity to reflect upon the redemptive sufferings of our Lord.

SOS – Haiti Earthquake Update

Announcements, Parish Life /

Last Sunday’s donations totaled $147. The Parish Committee has decided that all donations will go to support the “Doctors Without Borders Foundation” for the Haiti Earthquake Relief. Envelopes are located in the vestibule of the church if you would like to help those affected by the earthquake on January 12, 2010. On that day, the capital city of Haiti – Port-au-Prince, close towns and villages, were affected by this terrible and deadly 7.1 magnitude earthquake which killed an estimated 200,000 people, injured 250,000 individuals, and left 1.5 million homeless.

On January 19, 2010 the Herald News had an article about the Haitian Bethel Church of the Nazarene in Paterson which assembles imperishable food, clothing and supplies for those in need. My wife and I recently went there to deliver some clothing, food items and toys (left from the last year’s Flea Market). We were warmly welcomed by the assistant pastor of that parish and informed that they already shipped two large containers through the Dominican Republic to Haiti. Those who wish to donate any imperishable food items, light clothing, and supplies may bring them directly to that church or call Jean Claude Douge at 201-654-5671. If you are unable to take your items to that church, you may drop them off in our parish hall. The Parish Committee members will assist in delivering your donations to Haitian Bethel Church, Paterson.
