About a dozen SVM parishioners, led by Fr. Owen travelled to Trenton on September 26th to attend the Mass for Life in the Cathedral, Rally for Life at the State Capitol, then the March for Life through the streets of Trenton. We joined hundreds from throughout our state including our own Bishop Sweeney! We pray and work for the day when babies in our state will be welcomed in life and protected in law.
We will be selling tickets for the annual NJ Right to Life car raffle at all the Masses during the weekend of October 12 & 13. And we are looking for ticket sellers! Please use this Sign Up Genius if you are able to help. Thank you!
Lastly, please consider attending Bishop Sweeney's annual Convocation for Life on Saturday, October 26th at St. Mary's in Denville. See the flyer below.

Summer Support... Over the summer, Fr. Yojan told us about a mom from our Hispanic Ministry in need of support. She was facing a high-risk pregnancy and told by her doctor that she could not work. This was a tremendous blow to her family who rely on her income. So we put together a list of things she needed and you all responded beautifully! All the things she needed were provided to her as well as over $2,000 in monetary donations. The stress this alleviated was enormous and she & her husband await the arrival of her baby girl with great peace. The Mom's message to us: “We loved everything. Wow, beautiful all the gifts, the details of the cards, we read all the beautiful words of each person. We are very grateful to God, to you and to Father Yojaneider, and to all the people who gave their love with their gifts, may God multiply them. In gratitude we are going to offer some masses for all the people who took the time and love to give us everything for our beloved daughter. With much affection, God and the Virgin Mary bless you and protect you with her mantle.”
