Please pray for the young people of our parish who will be confirmed this Saturday, October 17.

May the Holy spirit come upon them all in power:

Thanks to our Knights of Columbus who labored mightily for their spaghetti dinner last Saturday. They realized $3,500 in profits!

We Continue to welcome back parishioners who have been absent from our weekend Eucharists.  If you’ve not made that leap of faith yet you might consider joining us for a daily Mass (no crowds at all) on Mondays, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:00 a.m. We miss you but understand the many reasons for not joining us. Let us pray for each other.

We also hope that you will keep in mind the challenges we face financially during these difficult times. Please continue to help us with your on-line gifts or by mailing us your envelopes to the parish office, or in the basket at the entry of the church.

With all the craziness these days, we entirely overlooked the patronal feast day of St. Edward the Confessor on October 13^th. Let us seek his intercession that he will watch over us.

God bless,

Msgr Enke

St. Edward Church Right to Life Group is hosting a virtual Little Flower Shower Baby Shower

Lealoni is a mom of 4 on her own in Newark.  This lucky lady is the mom of TWO sets of boy/girl twins. The older pair turn 5 on October 11, the younger ones were born in August.  She is understandably tired, and asks for prayers to find good, affordable childcare.  Let's be the hands and feet of Christ as we shower this family with prayers, written notes of support, and gifts.  All gifts need to be collected by Sunday, October 25 to be delivered to the family.  An Amazon Gift Registry has been created with some needs and wants for Lealoni and her children.  Please note that the Amazon registry is managed by the Little Flower Shower coordinator, and all gifts purchased on Amazon are sent to the shower coordinator to be delivered to the family.  For any questions or to volunteer your support, please contact littleflowershowersted@yahoo.com

Please place gifts in the Shower box in the gathering space on or before Sunday October 25th. Thank you
