Our parish family is so grateful to the
Anonymous Donor of The Resurrected Christ statue, and to the members of our Knights of Columbus (Council # 3272) for the gift of Rachel Weeping which commemorates The Unborn. May Our Lord bless these generous donors - - and may we grow in respect of God’s gift of human life from conception to natural death.

"You shall pray to me and I will hear you. You shall seek me and shall find me,
when you seek me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29: 12 - 13
Rachel’s Garden is a group of people that provide prayer support for the Project Rachel Program in the Diocese of Metuchen. By offering prayers and/or personal sacrifices, members of Rachel’s Garden hope to obtain for Project Rachel personnel the grace they need to perform their post-abortion healing ministry. The grace from prayer is critical in strengthening the Project Rachel personnel as they encourage women and men to embrace God’s mercy. Rachel’s Garden also offers prayers for those who have had an abortion, that they may have the courage to turn to Project Rachel and start on a path of healing. Please consider becoming a prayer worker in Rachel’s Garden. If interested, please e-mail to: jruggiero@diometuchen.org.
