An Act ofSpiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Food Bag for Kids
Summer Food Donation Weekend - July 17/18
For our July and August Food Donation Weekends, we are going to be doing something different from our usual food collection. With school closed for the summer, many children do not get regular meals. Feeding Westchester has a summer food program where you purchase specific food items and make breakfast, lunch, or dinner food bags at home. All items should be placed in quart sized Ziplock bags.
Bring completed bags to HNJ, put them in the donation bins, and Social Concerns will bring the food bags to Feeding Westchester where they will distribute them to families in need.
Check the Social Concerns bulletin board in the side vestibule for more info and pictures of sample food bags or click on link below for details.
