PROCESSIONAL HYMN: Precious Blood Hymn
Abel's blood for vengeance
Pleaded to the skies;
But the Blood of Jesus
For our pardon cries.
Oft as it is sprinkled
On our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
Terror-struck departs.
Abel's blood for vengeance
Pleaded to the skies;
But the Blood of Jesus
For our pardon cries.
Oft as it is sprinkled
On our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
Terror-struck departs.

GYM MONITOR NEEDED FOR PARISH SPORTS PROGRAM
Our Sports Program is looking for a gym monitor. To apply you must be at least 18years old and be available to work weekends. You will be needed from November through February, for approximately 30 hours per week. For details call Michelle at 917-733-5391 or Patti at 732-778-8620.
PRO-LIFE CORNER
Christians: The blood of Christ paid for our sins; the blood of patriots paid for our freedom; the blood of the unborn is paying for our apathy. Stop abortion, the future of our nation depends on it.
All new parishioners are encouraged to introduce themselves to Fr. Hesko and register in the parish.
SUPPORT MISSIONS THIS WEEKEND
A Missionary Co-operative Plan Appeal will be made in this parish this weekend, July 12th/13th to benefit the missionary work of the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart. This collection will be used exclusively to support the Grey Nun Mission of Saint Mary’s on the island of Kodiak off the Alaskan mainland. The Grey Nuns have served Alaska since 1944. The United States Catholic Mission Association still considers Alaska to be a "mission abroad" or a "foreign mission" because of its distance, culture and needs; though in 1959 it became our 49th state. Please help the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart continue to help the people of God in Alaska by contributing to this collection.
SUMMER IS HERE, DRESS ACCORDINGLY
Now that the hot weather is here, please remember that our church is air-conditioned (the most popular complaint is that it is too cold) and that we are coming before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Please dress in a manner befitting your presence in church.
