ABOUT THE FEAST OF DEDICATION . . . A celebration of the Anniversary of the Dedication of a Church is a traditional, but often overlooked celebration in the life of a parish. For parishes that have no record of the actual date of their dedication, the Church has made provision for the celebration of the anniversary of dedication at the beginning of October. Grace Church was dedicated on Oct. 4, 1939 by The Right Reverend Benjamin Martin Washburn, 5th Bishop of Newark.

OUR PRAYERS ARE ASKED FOR . . . . the sick and those in need, especially Immanuel Charles, Francis Royer, Loreli Rankin, Bernadette Gannon, Lainey Martin, Mariam Kamal, Kathy Nathan, Ann Hopper, The Rev. James Warnke, priest,  Gary Stubbs, Nancy Mohr, Rae Palladino, Dave, Mitch, Thomas Petrullo, Daniela Parisi, Michael Shumway, Chris Spilker, Gina DeMarsico, Suzanne Morris, Lauren Rosenthal, Charlotte Wilson, John Whitlock, and Gaylord Hitchcock, priest.

For those celebrating birthdays especially Rebecca Perricelli (11/5), William Vogt (11/5), John Paul Spiro-Colwell (11/6), and Gifford Roache (11/8) and those celebrating anniversaries especially James & Nicole Gibson (11/5) and Thomas & Lynn Glynn (11/6).

For those who have died especially Tricia Masten Green (10/7), William H. V. McLeester (10/8), Rosina Hutchings (10/9), and Anna Scaffa (10/11).

PRAYER LIST REQUESTS . . . To add any names to the parish prayer list, please send an email to kmaccourt@gmail.com with the name of the person to be prayed for, your name and a brief description of the person’s health or other situation (note if long-term or chronic).  Names are listed for four weeks and then rotate off, but they can be added again as needed.  If you have questions, please speak with the wardens or Father Anthony.
