Thank you to all who attended The Rae Zrinsky Day of Recollection at St. Joseph’s By the Sea. Msgr. Ken from St. Mary’s parish in Barnegat was our guest speaker. He spoke to us about the important attributes and focus one needs to possess to be Catholic. The solo cup analogy was very informative. In addition to listening to confessions and conducting Mass, his humor and witty jokes kept us all engaged and entertained. Pat Cooper shared a great quote with us to wrap up the retreat. “Let your smile change the world but don’t let the world change your smile!” A huge THANK YOU to Sr. Bruni and her team. The food was delicious.
THANK YOU to Mary Gethard for organizing this beautiful retreat for our sister Rosarians. It was a much needed day of reflection for everyone.

Our first FUNdraiser of the year was our Paint & Sip. We hosted it in the Donovan Catholic Cafeteria. There were 54 painters , 15 raffle baskets and as always a 50-50. What a fulfilled night as we sipped and painted on a beautiful canvas. After a while we even started singing to the music. The best part was that all of the pictures that we painted were different but the end results were very beautiful!
The event was sponsored by Jersey Shore Paint Party. A huge THANK YOU to Donna West for chairing the even, Zina Approvato for creating our beautiful gift baskets and all those who contributed. Thanks to METZ Culinary for providing our snacks. Thank you to ALL who came out to support this FUNdraiser and enjoyed a fabulous time! We share many laughs together! God Bless and stay tuned for more scheduled events.

ROSARY ALTAR SOCIETY NEWS...
This weekend at the 10:30 mass, Father Scott inducted 38+ women of our parish into the Rosary Altar Society. Our newly inducted promised in front of our parish family that they will promote in every way possible the honor of Our Blessed Lady and devotion to her Rosary. Congratulations to all our Newly Inducted Rosarians
***********************************************
The Rosary Altar Society gathered in prayer before the Blessed Mother in the Mary Garden for the Annual Rosarian Rosary Rally. This Rally honors the Blessed Mother under all her titles but in particular The Immaculate Conception, patroness of the United States Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Western Hemisphere. It was a beautiful way to honor our Lady in song and prayer. Each decade was led by a member of the Rosarians and our music was led by our wonderful and amazing Laura Dozd our newest member of the Rosary Altar Society. Our Lady, Queen of the Rosary, Pray for us.
************************************************
Established in the 1930s and formally chartered in 1949, the primary purpose of the Rosary Altar Society is to praise and honor our Blessed Mother and secure her patronage by reciting the rosary. The women of the Rosary Altar Society honor Mother Mary by cleaning the church, visiting residents of a local nursing home, sponsor an annual Communion Brunch and make rosaries and Baptismal bibs. They also provide financial support to various parish projects by sponsoring three major fundraisers throughout the year: the Super Summer Raffle in September, and the Palm Cross sale in March. Members volunteer their time and talents to make these fundraisers a success every year.
The Rosary Altar Society meets on the first Sunday of the month at 9:00am for Mass with the meeting to follow in the Donovan Catholic cafeteria.
