• We really could use ushers for the weekend masses. Ushers are needed to ensure everyone has a seat and are socially distant. Please contact the office at 908-464-7600 if you can help.
• Please be considerate of those coming in to mass after you. If there is a spot
  available please move down to next yellow dot. We want to avoid having people
  stand in the back of church.
• If you would like a 2021 Word & Song book to follow the readings during Mass,
  please call the rectory at 908-464-7600 to have one put aside for you to pick up.
  2021 calendars as well as Advent Devotionals are also available.
• Collections have been way down since Covid-19 started. Please prayerfully consider supporting the parish even if you are staying home. Unfortunately, the bills don’t stop when attendance is down! You may drop off or mail your envelopes. We also have online giving through WeShare. Click here to go to WeShare.

The OLP Food Pantry is open on Tuesdays, from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. for curbside pickup. Since we are now only open one day a week the number of patrons is significant and the supply is hard to maintain. The following is in great demand: pasta, mac & cheese, instant potatoes, canned meats, jelly and canned fruit, Hamburger Helper, Chef Boyardee, Stove Top Stuffing. 
You can drop off donations at the Rectory from Monday to Friday – 8am to 6pm
Thank you for allowing the Pantry to serve those in need with your donations.

WHY REGISTER?
Every Catholic should be registered in a parish. Beside the active support and involvement that the registration enables, the parish registration is also a mandatory condition for many sacraments including Baptism and Matrimony. *It is therefore important to register at your local parish as soon as you start worshiping there regularly.
 You may request verification letters to sponsor individuals for sacraments,
receive sacraments yourself or your child (i.e. marriage, baptism).
 You will receive end-of-the-year tax contribution statements.
 The Archdiocese will know that our parish has a healthy base of registered,
supportive parishioners.

To register in the parish, please visit the Rectory or print out the

Parish-Registration-Form

on our website, fill it out and return it to the rectory.

*You are not automatically registered if you made your Sacraments here as a child or went to the school.
