In the same way today, God calls us to be content with a fair portion and to be willing to share the rest. CHOOSE LIFE “It’s scary, and it knocks the breath out of you. It takes a long time to come to terms with a disease, especially a terminal illness. And then you start thinking, ‘Okay, this is the new me, this is the new normal, and I can still appreciate every moment.’” — Maggie Karner in “Maggie’s Story,” a 3-minute video available at www.bit.ly/MaggiesStory (wife, mother of three, living with terminal illness) PARISH EMAIL ADDRESSES Msgr.

The children and their parents attend one three-hour session each month, based on their choice at registration and availability of space in each session. The family attends the same weekday and time each month. Most sessions are planned to be on or near the third/fourth weekend of each month. At this time, families with children with special needs will have their session on Saturdays only. Each month a new educational topic is discussed. The entire group meets first in the Cafeteria, where prayer and a light meal take place. Then Grades K through 8 participate in age appropriate classroom instruction while the parents/adults have a speaker in the Cafeteria to inform them of the month’s topic. All children return to their respective families near the end of the session to discuss that month’s topic together. Dismissal with prayer and the monthly handout for families to continue their education together until next month is last. Adult children or family members, in addition to those pre-registered, are welcome each month. Childcare, for children age 2-5 who are potty trained, is also offered. ALL PARISHIONERS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND We will have 6 sessions (3rd / 4th weekend of the month - dates will vary) – Saturday 9am to 12pm – Monday 6pm to 9pm – Sunday 10:15am to 1:15pm – Tuesday 5pm to 8pm Registration is offered on a first come, first-served basis. Class size will be limited. Please mail or hand-deliver your COMPLETED registration form WITH the registration fee to the GIFT office. All currently registered families received registration forms in their respective G.I.F.T. folders during April G.I.F.T. sessions. New registrants may obtain a registration form with complete instructions from the table in the lobby or at the GIFT Office (Room 4) in the school.

Over the centuries, prayer shawls have come to symbolize shelter, peace and spiritual sustenance. The members of our Prayer Shawl Ministry have lovingly donated their time and talents by creating hand-knitted and crocheted shawls, filled with the power of prayer, for those in need. The prayer shawl maker begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient. The intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. Upon completion, a final blessing is offered before the shawl is sent on its way. The blessing of the Prayer Shawl provides healing and comfort to the sick, the lonely and the elderly. Like all acts of generosity, the presentation of a Prayer Shawl enriches the giver as well as the recipient. The blessing ripples from person-to-person, with both the giver and receiver feeling the unconditional embrace of a sheltering, loving God! Since the first official meeting of the Prayer Shawl Ministry in June 2010, we have distributed 113 shawls and 23 lap blankets. Our thanks to everyone who contributed to this venture so far. To request a prayer shawl, please call Maria Tiberi at 732-254-1775, or Paula Liquari at 732-251-0586.
