Returning to Grace:A Pastoral Letter on the Eucharist
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
On behalf of Cardinal Joseph Tobin, you are invited to read Returning to Grace: A Pastoral Letter on the Eucharist, which identifies and reflects on important questions that many in our archdiocese are asking today about worship and the Eucharist amid the ongoing pandemic. The pastoral letter offers Cardinal Tobin’s reflections, personal stories and some thoughts shared with us by Pope Francis during this challenging time.
To view the Cardinal's introductory video, visit the Archdiocesan website (www.rcan.org/cardinal-joseph-tobin-pastoral-letter).
I pray that you have a spiritually fruitful Lenten journey.
Father John

GIVING DURING A TIME OF PANDEMIC:THE 2021 ANNUAL APPEALDear Parishioners,
I am asking for your assistance in supporting the 2021 Annual Appeal. One of the beneficiaries of your contributions is the Family Life Office of the Archdiocese of Newark.
This ministry places the Catholic family at the center of the Church’s mission. More than 60 support groups in the Archdiocese offer resources and assistance such as bereavement support. Many virtual resources are available as well.
Please click on the window below to watch the video. The video features Bishop Michael Saporito, Auxiliary Bishop of Newark, and Alicia Cordero, as they share their stories of grief and the importance of a parish community offering support.
Please visit rcan.org/sharing to make a gift today. You can also use the envelope which you received in the mail. Envelopes are also in the vestibule and at the Parish Center. Donations can be mailed, dropped in the collection basket when we gather for Mass, or dropped off at the Parish Center. Please be sure to indicate that you are a member of Most Blessed Sacrament in Franklin Lakes.
Please pray for the success of the Appeal, and ask God to show you in what ways He is asking you to be a witness to God's love in the world. Ultimately, that’s the mission of Most Blessed Sacrament.
With gratitude for your stewardship,
Father John Job
