necessary expenses of the diocese such as

consider supporting this appeal this year and each

year going forward. Thank-you.

INTERFAITH HOSPITALITY

On behalf of our Guests from IHN, I would like

to thank all of you for making this Host Week so

comfortable once again. During this week we

housed 4 families which included 5 adults, and 5

children ages 8, 7, 4, 18 months and a 4-month-

old.

This Host Week, we saw volunteers of all ages,

make sacrifices to make our families feel safe,

warm and supported during this Lenten Season.

Thanks to all of you who helped with set up,

grocery shopping, donating gift cards, meal

preparation, hosting, sleeping, phone calls, break

down, and laundry. Because we had many

volunteers, we were able to share the work and

share the LOVE! Thank You!!! (We can always

use new volunteers to help out with Hosting,

Meal Prep, Sleeping and Laundry)

Thank you also to our Parish Priests who are so

supportive in our Ministry. We would also like to

thank Saint Vincent de Paul Society, The Knights

of Columbus, Catholic Daughters, Saint Mary’s

Guild, The Islamic Center of Toms River and

Students at Georgian Court University who were

all extremely helpful during this Host Week.

Our next guests from Interfaith Hospitality

Network will arrive on Sunday, May 13, 2018

and will stay until Sunday, May 20, 2018. We are

always looking for new volunteers to help; make

it a family evening or sleepover or just come over

and help set up or break down.

Thank You for making this ministry a part of our

Parish. For more information: Pat Rainer 732-

ADULT FAITH FORMATION

NEW PARISH RESOURCE:

FORMED NETWORK

Our parish has joined FORMED, an online

website that contains Catholic videos, and

downloadable audio or e-books. The site contains

series on Catholic Theology and Spirituality.

Over the course of next few years, we will be

utilizing these resources for group formation such

as Bible studies, catechist enrichment, prayer

groups, and small faith sharing groups.

The resources on FORMED can be used just by

individuals, or, used in group settings. Of note is

a weekly commentary on the Sunday readings

and a series on basic Catholic theology called

“Symbolon.”

The FORMED website is available to all

registered parishioners and everyone who live

within the parish boundaries, which is the

boundaries of Lakewood. To access the website,

you need to register first. You do that by:

1. Go to formed.org on your web browser

2. Click the button: ENTER CODE

3. Enter our parish code, all caps: YRP6YV

4. Enter your name, email, and a password. In

the future, the next time you enter the

FORMED site, all you will need is to enter

your email address and password. On most

web browsers, they have a feature that will

automatically enter your info when you log

on, if you care to use it to make logging on

easier in the future. Since this is not a high

target web site for hackers (we doubt anyone

would want to steal your FORMED access),

we suggest you keep your password simple

and different from your high-value websites,

such as your online banking. The site does

require that the password contain at least one

number and one special character (such as: ! $

#). Write your password down and keep it in a

handy place.

Once you’re in, explore the site’s resources!

ADVERTISING IN THE BULLETIN

Please consider advertising in the bulletin. The

income from ad sales not only pays for the cost of

the printing of the bulletin, but also generates

extra revenue.

You can arrange to place an ad or ask any

questions about advertising by calling the parish

office and asking to speak to either Cori or

Josette.

Also, please consider using the services of those

who do advertise in the bulletin and let them

know you saw their ad in our bulletin. Thanks.

4 Marzec 2018-niedziela - III tydzień Wielkiego postu - rok B/II

Nawracajcie się i wierzcie w Ewangelię!” (Mk 1,15).

Wielkie Rekolekcje WIELKOPOSTNE z O. Pawłem Drobot z Zakonu Ojców Redemptorystów z Polski

9 -11 Marzec 2018 - Parafia Saint Mary, Lakewood NJ

…ważne jest wyznanie Apostoła Pawła: „Żydzi żądają znaków, a Grecy szukają mądrości, my zaś głosimy

Chrystusa ukrzyżowanego, który jest zgorszeniem dla Żydów, a głupstwem dla pogan, dla tych zaś, którzy są

powołani, jest mocą i mądrością Bożą”. U samych źródeł dramatu grzechu jest tworzenie własnego dekalogu,

często na „nie” dla Boga. Pragnienie „uwolnienia się” od Boga, choć przecież i tak „w Nim żyjemy, poruszamy

się i jesteśmy” (Dz 17, 28). Chrystus, który „umiłował mnie i samego siebie wydał za mnie” (Ga 2,20),

oczekuje od każdego z nas ponownego odkrycia miłości Boga. On „sam wie, co się kryje w człowieku” (J 2,

25) i zna najgłębsze jego pragnienia. Wzywa, by umrzeć dla grzechu, a On wskrzesi nas z martwych i uczyni

świątynią, w której Bóg zamieszka! Owa przemiana, powoduje, że nasza codzienność staje się

urzeczywistnianiem planów Boga zmierzających do stworzenia człowieka nowego, człowieka w Chrystusie,

nowym Adamie. Do tego jesteśmy wezwani przez obmycie wodą chrztu.
