       We welcome you to our parishes in the northwest corner     
                            of Sussex County, New Jersey.

  We welcome you and ask that you fill out a registration form which can be found in the vestibule of the Church or obtained via our Parish Office. 
  Often when a Catholic is asked to be a Godparent or Sponsor, a letter from the pastor of their parish is requested. That letter can only be provided to a registered member of the parish.

The C.L.O.W. resumed Sept. 15th, as a part of the 9:30 AM Sunday Mass.  
All children grade 6 & lower are welcome to participate. Older children who may be assisting their younger K-6 siblings are also welcome.
Dates for C.L.O.W. are posted in the bulletin - and will be posted online.

We invite all our K - 6th grade children and Middle and High School teens to continue attending a regularly scheduled Mass each weekend with their entire family. 

Confirmed adults can assist C.L.O.W. as a Lay presider, lector, or hospitality minister. Coordinatior for C.L.O.W. is Pat Hope.

Please call the Religious Ed Office at (973) 948-7004 for any further information.  

Due to upcoming changes for those who will begin preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, see the pertinent info regarding these changes under Liturgy/Sacraments. 

Re-registrations for children and teens in grades 1 through 10 were due by July 31st.  No one was considered automatically re-registered and no re-registrations will be accepted during the first classes.  
All late re-registrations must be brought to the Religious Education Office. Please call first to schedule an appointment  (973) 948-7004.
