New Items Have Arrived�This Week’s Review:!!
Brother Francis: He Is Risen (DVD)!!
This episode reminds us of the powerful reality of the Resurrection in our present lives and the great price Jesus paid to bring us home to God. !!
Brother Francis: The Mass (DVD)!!
Come with “Brother Francis” as he celebrates the life�changing power of the Mass. Rich in instruction and inspiration, Brother Francis: “The Mass is a unique way of helping children experience the presence of Christ as they attend Mass.”!!
Our Lady Untier of Knots (Booklet)!!During his studies in Germany, Pope Francis encountered a local devotion centered on an image of Our La-dy in the Church of St. Peter in Augsburg. Many had come to pray with seemingly irresolvable family and marriage problems and had been helped. On his return to Argentina he set about spreading this devotion and its novena. This booklet gives a brief history of the devotion and the main prayers.!!
Donations for the items can be made at the kiosk to help continue this program ($3!$5). �Please make checks payable to St. Catherine’s. Donations are used towards the purchase of additional materials. �
Questions? Please contact Denise Botto @908!996!6760.�

World Day of Prayer for Vocations
Sunday, April 22nd !
Next Sunday, April 22nd, is World Day of Prayer for Vo-cations. On this day, the Church throughout the world in a special way encourages prayer for vocations. It also asks us to do the following: !!
!� Make a special effort to ask the Lord for more voca-tions to the priesthood, and religious life.!
!
!� Pray for the priests who have ministered to you throughout your life, both living and dead.!
!
!� Keep our parish priests in your prayers throughout the week.!
!
!� Encourage your children, grandchildren, or other young people to consider a vocation as a priest, or religious brother or sister.!
!
!� Pray a rosary for more young men and women in our Diocese to respond to God’s call. !
!
The Church reminds us that “God transforms whomever He chooses. You do not have to be perfect or sinless to be a priest, brother, or sister. If God calls, His grace is sufficient.” “While we all called to imitate Christ, some in the Church are called to more closely imitate Jesus the Good Shepherd. Priests and religious give their whole lives to the Church. Those who are called to be shep-herds must themselves learn to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd.”!!
We are invited to join in this special day and pray for holy, happy, and healthy priests, deacons, religious brothers and sisters to shepherd and assist the Church of tomor-row.!!
Inserted in next weekend’s bulletin, you will find an insert highlighting the 2018 World Day of Prayer for Vocations.!!
Please pray that hearts will be touched and minds will be opened on the World Day of Prayer for Vocations, next Sunday.!!
