St Paus's Catholic Church in New Bern is happy to be able to offer “A Day of Reflection and Action” on the 22nd of January in solidarity with everyone participating in prayer and/or other activity on that date, including the March for Life. One of our objectives was to offer something locally for people who couldn’t or didn’t want to attend the March for whatever reason. Click on this news article for more information.

I received an email from the Diocese that there are spots available on busses from Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral and St Anne's parish in Clayton. The Point of Contact for the Cathedral is Christine Dennis and for St Anne's is Joe Basar. If you are interested in going please call the Cathedral office or St Anne's and ask to speak to the respective contact.

I would like to extend the invitation to all our parishioners who normally attend and participate in the national march for life in Washington D.C. to the Diocesan Mass & March for life on January 15th. While the parish trip and bus may be canceled, the Diocesan event offers a great opportunity for those fighting to protect and preserve life from cradle to grave (or in the language of West Side Story "from womb to tomb") to actively participate at our Diocesan Mass and March for Life. I will be serving as Deacon at the Mass as well as participating in other events but will be back at our parish for 5 PM Mass. I hope to see some of you there! To get more information simply click on this story to go to our Diocesan Web Site for details.

With the March for Life trip to Washington, D.C. canceled I invite all parishioners who normally go to the Annual March for Life in D.C. to come to the Diocesan Mass and March for life on January 15, 2022. While it is not Washington D.C. it is for the same cause and purpose as the D.C. march and is local and less costly. I hope that many of you will take this opportunity and hope to see many of you there.  - I will be serving as Deacon of the Word at the Mass with the Bishop.

Sunday, September 24 is Priesthood Sunday. Let us join together on this special day to pray for our priests, especially our Pastor, Father Roch. Let us thank God for Father’s courage and generosity in accepting his vocation. Priesthood Sunday is not about big celebrations but it is about establishing quiet, loving care for our parish priest. A simple smile or note letting Father know of our loving care and gratitude for his presence in the life of our parish will go a long way. Thank You, Father Roch! Please, know that we appreciate and love all you do for us and we promise to keep you in our prayers. El domingo 24 de septiembre es el Domingo del Sacerdocio. Unámonos en este día especial para orar por nuestros sacerdotes, especialmente nuestro pastor, el padre Roch. Demos gracias a Dios por el valor y la generosidad del Padre en la aceptación de su vocación. El Domingo del Sacerdocio no se trata de grandes celebraciones, sino de establecer un cuidado silencioso y amoroso para nuestro párroco. Una simple sonrisa o nota que le haga saber al Padre nuestro cariño y gratitud por su presencia en la vida de nuestra parroquia será de gran ayuda. ¡Gracias, padre Roch! Por favor, sepa que apreciamos y amamos todo lo que hacen por nosotros y prometemos mentarlo en nuestras oraciones
