PASTORAL CARE
732-449-5765 If you are going into the hospital, our
priests will be happy to anoint you by
appointment before admittance. If you are IN the hospital,
please call us to let us know so we can visit you, since
hospitals no longer list patients’ parishes.
If you wish someone to visit you or your loved one in your
home or assisted living, please notify us directly, Sr.
Margaret Tierney, Ext. 124.
Blood Pressure Screenings on the 2nd Tuesday
of each month, 12:30pm - 1:30pm, at the Convent.
Security Issues There have been a series of reports from churches across
the Diocese of serious security issues involving theft and
episodes involving scammers and con-artists. Individuals
and Groups of people have been showing up outside many
churches in the Diocese sometimes with placards or
cardboard signs, sometimes holding babies and asking for
money for gas, diapers etc. They reportedly have become
indignant and defensive when questioned about their
activities. We would ask everyone to be vigilant and if
you observe suspicious behavior around the church to alert
members of Mission of Mercy will speak at the masses
about their work providing quality education and health
care to the people of Uganda.
They will ask for your continued generous support that
you have given over the past 15 years. A collection will
be taken up those same dates, and green envelopes will
be provided in the pews and in the rear of the church for
these contributions. Checks should be made payable to
St. Catharine - St. Margaret Parish with Mission of
Mercy in the memo section on the check. Envelopes can
be placed in the second collection basket or mailed to Sr.
Carole, St. Catharine Convent, 211 Essex Avenue,
Spring Lake, NJ 07762.
This year Mission of Mercy hopes to accomplish the
completion of a Women’s Ward at the Alanyi Clinic in
the bush area of Lira. Moms on a Mission, our partner
organization in Westfield directed by Kerry Mooney and
Ali Costalos, provided $25,000 for the construction of
this building. It is now in its final stages.
Next we hope to begin the construction of a Nursery
School at St. Kizito’s in the forest of Lwetunga. We
have already completed school blocks for Grades 1-7
and a dormitory for girls in Grade 7. Additionally, with
the help of Spring Lake-Brielle Rotary Club, we have
provided clean drinking water through the construction
of a borehole and light for children at night through their
Luci Light campaign.
Also we sponsor 113 orphaned/needy children and
would like to have more children sponsored. These
children receive tuition assistance, a uniform, notebook
and the entire school community receives a porridge
breakfast and lunch! Rachelle Maget and Tesa Carlson
are the Coordinators of this project and applications for
new sponsors will be provided in the back of the church
for anyone interested in becoming a sponsor for $350.00
a year. Sponsors receive a picture of the child, a yearly
thank you and updates. If you are already a sponsor,
renewal forms will be sent to you throughout the year.
Finally, we would like to begin the construction of a
fence to enclose the Alanyi Primary School grounds.
This is a rural school across the road from the Alanyi
Health Center that is home to 2,000 children. To date
we have constructed a new school block, provided solar
lighting, a computer room and developed a Little League
Baseball Team. Additionally, we would like to continue
advancing our sports initiative and any gently used
baseball equipment is welcomed for donation.
