When making a decision to close the parish and center due to inclement weather or other emergencies, the primary factor is your SAFETY, given the age of most of our parishioners.
Page 1 of our bulletin states: Emergency information is available on our answering machine 609-494-8861; or on WJRZ 100.1 FM; 98.5 FM; The Breeze 99.7 FM; and WOBM 92.7 FM; and 1057the hawk.com.
When in doubt remember, PRUDENCE IS A GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT...AND PRUDENCE TRUMPS PIETY.
