Mk 10:17-30
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up,
knelt down before him, and asked him,
"Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
Jesus answered him, "Why do you call me good?
No one is good but God alone.
You know the commandments: You shall not kill;
you shall not commit adultery;
you shall not steal;
you shall not bear false witness;
you shall not defraud;
honor your father and your mother."
He replied and said to him,
"Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth."
Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him,
"You are lacking in one thing.
Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor
and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me."
At that statement his face fell,
and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples,
"How hard it is for those who have wealth
to enter the kingdom of God!"
The disciples were amazed at his words.
So Jesus again said to them in reply,
"Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle
than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves,
"Then who can be saved?"
Jesus looked at them and said,
"For human beings it is impossible, but not for God.
All things are possible for God."
Peter began to say to him,
"We have given up everything and followed you."
Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you,
there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters
or mother or father or children or lands
for my sake and for the sake of the gospel
who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age:
houses and brothers and sisters
and mothers and children and lands,
with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come."
Our 56th Summer Festival, held from July 24-27, 2024, not only attracted many guests but also brought our community together in support of the noble cause of sustaining Christ the Redeemer Parish. Through your generous support, we were able to raise $29,574. These funds will be used to cover the costs of maintaining Christ the Redeemer Parish. Your commitment and participation are a testament to the great things we can achieve when we come together.
It is with immense joy and gratitude that I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of our Summer Festival. I would like to extend special thanks to ALL volunteers, parish staff, sponsors, and everyone who devoted their time and energy to making this event possible. Without your help, none of this would have been achievable.
I strongly believe and pray that with your help our next 57th Summer Festival scheduled for July 23-26, 2025, will be equally successful.
With gratitude and prayer, Fr. Stanislaw Słaby CSsR

In the face of death, the Church confidently proclaims that God has created each person for eternal life and that Jesus, by his death and resurrection, has destroyed death forever.
Christians celebrate the funeral rites to offer worship, praise and thanksgiving to God for the gift of life which has now been returned to God, the author of life. We pray for the person who has died - asking for the forgiveness of sin and the gift of everlasting life.
To make arrangements for a funeral liturgy, please contact the parish office at 908-725-0072
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CHRIST THE REDEEMER PARISH via our ONLINE MEMORIAL DONATIONS system.
