For the fourth consecutive year, Holy Spirit Church is participating in Operation Christmas Child--the "Shoebox Ministry" in which we fill shoe boxes (or boxes of similar size) with small gifts for children who lack even the basic necessities of life, and who likely have never received a gift of any type in their lives.  Your help would be so much appreciated!  To support this effort, please consider purchasing one or more small items:  school supplies, tooth brushes, wash cloths, toys, socks, t-shirts or almost anything you feel would bring joy to a child.  Boxes will be set up at the entrances to the church beginning on the weekend of October 17/18, until the weekend of October 31/November 1.  At the end of the collection period a group of volunteers will sort the gifts by intended recipient:  boy/girl/age, and take them to the drop off location.  If you've not returned to in-person Mass but wish to support this effort, please contact Kim Rizzo at (973) 652-6615 so alternate donation drop off or pickup arrangements can be made.  Operation Christmas Child also asks for donations of $9 per box for processing and shipping, so a monetary donation (check made payable to Holy Spirit Church) would also be much appreciated if you prefer to give in that way.  For complete information contained on our flyer, please see our website at www.holyspiritparishnj.org.  Bring hope and joy to a child in need this Christmas!  Thank you for your support.

Do you know any adults who need to receive the sacraments of Baptism, First Eucharist or Confirmation? The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
(RCIA) is the process by which adults are formally received into the Roman Catholic Church. RCIA is for adults who were never baptized, or were baptized in
another Christian tradition or those who were baptized as Catholics and never received Confirmation or First Eucharist. RCIA is a process of adult faith formation
that involves prayer, instruction, and discernment within the context of a small faith community.

For more information about the RCIA process at Holy Spirit, please contact Steve Kass at 973-879-3102 or stephenbkass@ gmail.com.
