COMMUNION TO THE SICK is taken by Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist on a regular basis to those confined to their homes. Please call the Parish Center.
THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at 1:30 PM (not during Lent). A family must be registered in the parish, attend the baptismal preparation class, and cooperate with the regulations established by the parish. Our baptismal class is held on the 2nd Monday of the month at 8:00 PM. Please call the Parish Center to register any time during your pregnancy.
THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION is celebrated on Saturday between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM in the Chapel or by appointment.
THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION is celebrated once a year, here at St. Augustine. A candidate must successfully complete our Religious Education program. Adult Confirmation is held on Pentecost Sunday and any interested adults should contact the Parish Center.
THE SACRAMENT OF THE SICK is administered at home to any Catholic who is seriously ill. Please call the Parish Center. Any parishioner admitted to a local hospital should contact the Catholic Hospital Chaplain through the hospital. A family member should contact the parish when someone is admitted to the hospital. We will gladly pray for any members who are sick, whether at home or in the hospital, at our Sunday Masses; however, it is necessary for the family to “request” it.
THE SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY is celebrated by the Pastor or one of our deacons. Weddings may be scheduled on Friday evening, Saturday, or Sunday afternoon. Only a ceremony is permitted on Sunday. The pastor will confirm the date so couples should contact the Parish Center at least ONE YEAR in advance. All the necessary information will be sent to you. The attendance at Pre-Cana or an Engaged Encounter Weekend is required. One must be a registered member of the parish.
THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS and RELIGIOUS LIFE: If you are considering serving God as a priest, deacon, or religious, you may contact your parish priest, deacon, or religious; or phone the Diocesan Office of Vocations at (732) 562-1990.

“You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel…” (Ezekiel 33:7)
Many of us are generous with our gifts. However, many of us are not generous in proportion to the gifts we have been given. How often do we give at the minimum level required? Remember, the Lord calls us to nurture and develop our gifts. He calls us to be generous with all the gifts He has given us, especially the one that means the most to us. Sunday August 30 $17,346.50
MEDITATION FOR SEPTEMBER 6 2020 Love your neighbor as yourself.. Our readings today work together to teach us about the real obligations of the law, which include gently correcting one another so that our communities may be in harmony. Paul explains how we must do this, and do all things, with love. And Jesus promises to remain with us always.
In the first reading, the Lord tells Ezekiel that he will be held responsible for the death of the wicked one if he does not speak out to dissuade him from his way. In the Letter to the Romans, Paul writes that the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. In the Gospel, Jesus gives instructions for correcting another, gives authority to bind and loose, and promises where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
INTENTIONS OF OUR HOLY FATHER We are invited to unite with our Holy Father, Pope Francis, for this universal intention during the month of September.
Respect for the Planet’s Resources. That the planet’s resources will not be plundered, but shared in a just and respectful manner.

RICA Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
We need your help!
Pope Francis said that every Christian is an active agent of evangelization. Every Christian who has encountered the love of God in Christ Jesus is a missionary. And if a person has
welcomed this love that gives the meaning to his life, he cannot contain the desire to communicate it to others. We have a wonderful RCIA team, ready and willing to share the faith with those who seek a relationship with Jesus in the truth of the Catholic faith. But we need your help in identifying those who are possible candidates. It may be a neighbor, a friend, a family member or even a spouse whom you would recommend to us. RCIA is for those who have never been baptized, for those baptized in another Christian faith who would like to become Catholic or for baptized Catholics who need both First Communion and Confirmation to complete their Sacraments of Initiation. If you have discussed this possibility with anyone or know anyone who may be interested, please call the Parish Office (732-297-3000) and we will contact them immediately. Thank you for your help! Deacon Denis
