Our Priests Continue to Languish!

Would you or someone that you know like to cook on a part time basis at our rectory? Cook in a beautiful new air-conditioned kitchen for the dear Fathers of our parish. Our priests need a hot meal cooked and served to them several times a week to sustain their frail hungry bodies. How else can they be expected to keep up with all the spiritual needs of our parish! So please dont delay to contact us, our priests are getting weaker by the minute our parish needs them! All kidding aside, a part time cook is needed at the rectory. If interested, please call the rectory at 908-464-7600 or email [email protected].
