In the first reading today, we hear how Jesus was taken up to heaven and how the disciples, the apostles, gathered with Mary in the upper room, the place where previously Jesus had the Last Supper. For nine days, they prayed intently for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Brothers and sisters: as we are confined in our homes these days, I would like to invite you to pray intently for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Next Sunday is Pentecost. Your see, Mary, the disciples and the apostles were confined in the upper room to pray. We too are told to pray this week for the coming of the Holy Spirit.

If you have a Mass intention or a loved one you would like us to pray for, please send the intention and free will offering to Fr. Antonio at the rectory: 17 Mt. Olive Rd, Budd Lake, NJ 07828. Although we only live stream Sunday Mass, we celebrate Mass 7 days a week, Mondays through Saturdays in the Daily Chapel. 

Dear Friends,
With gratitude to God, I am sending you the announcement of the appointment of our new bishop. I ask you to welcome him and to keep him in your prayers as we prepare for his episcopal ordination and installation as our eighth bishop.
