MercyworX Update

This week, 14 student scholars gathered for the MercyworX Summer Institute - a collaborative program for college credit at Georgian Court University and sponsored by the Center for FaithJustice. This program was made possible in large part by the generous scholarship support of the parish of Saint Ann and several individual donors. Twelve students of this year's cohort are from our parish! In addition to classroom study, students completed more than 20 hours of community service at the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties and the Visitation Relief Center. We are so proud of them and grateful for your support and prayers! THANK YOU. God is good - all the time!

Wedding Congratulations

We congratulate

Francis Masterson and Gina Dinki

who were married last weekend. We offer them our prayers and support as they begin to live their life together.

Monthly Food Collection

FOOD ITEMS NEEDED TO HELP THOSE IN NEED

LOCAL FOOD BANKS ARE LOW ON FOOD

Just a reminder that the second Sunday of every month is "Food Drive Sunday." In an effort to increase the supply of food we donate locally, we are encouraging all of our parishioners to bring in a bag of groceries on the second Sunday of every month.

Items needed are: cereal, cranberry juice, deodorant, detergent, canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, pasta sauce, shampoo, soap, toilet tissue, rice, napkins, soups, stuffing, tuna, and jelly.

If you forget, don't worry, we'll take them on any Sunday. You can leave your bag of non-perishable food items in the lobby of the church. At present, we send this food to Mt. Carmel Guild, the Lawrence Community Center (HomeFront), and Better Community Housing. Thanks for your support.

Centering Prayer

All are welcome to this silent prayer practice in which we experience God's presence within us. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship....a movement beyond conversation with Christ to communion with Christ. Join us at any time, on any date you can.

MORNING Centering Prayer: This group meets monthly,

usually on the 2nd Monday at 10 AM in the Spiritual Direction Room. The next meeting is: July 10, 2017.

Any questions, please call Mary Malley (609) 896-8193 or email mary.malley@

EVENING Centering Prayer: This group meets twice a

month, usually the 2nd and the 4th Sundays at 7 PM on the second floor in the room to the left of the stairs, in the Spiritual Direction Room. The July meetings are: July 9 and 30, 2017.

Any questions, please call Patty Creech at 1 (908) 500-7089 or at pattyos1210@.
