Dear Brothers, Family, and Friends,

I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Christmas! As today marks the first day of 2022, I pray for a blessed, healthy, and prosperous New Year for all of you.

We are presented with similar challenges at the start of this year as in 2021. Cases rising, low attendance at Church and decreasing active membership. However, there is a lot to celebrate as well! We had a successful fundraiser through the pasta dinner, food-drive and weekly food collection for the Somerset County Foodbank Network, and coat and blood drives.

There is still a lot of low-hanging fruit in terms of membership and overall opportunities for our Council. For the first quarter of the year, we are planning a membership drive and in a collaborative effort with the CCW to start planning a fundraiser for our Parish.

I believe the future is bright and look forward to many accomplishments with your support!

Happy New Year!

Vivat Jesu,
Jon De Leon
