For Sacred Heart Parish, Bay Head, refunds from the Faith to Move Mountains campaign are enabling the parish to enhance their religious education program and invest some 75 percent of their rebates in helping others outside the parish.
“The Faith to Move Mountains program did well in our parish, we went over our goal and I thank God for that,” said Father Michael O’Connor, pastor, who noted that he and his parishioners are still very mindful of those who continue to suffer from the effects of Superstorm Sandy.
“The past few years have been difficult for people living in the shore area because of the hurricane,” he said. The parish is reaching out to support the St. Vincent de Paul program in St. Martha Parish, Point Pleasant; St. Gregory’s Pantry in Point Pleasant and Visitation Relief Center in Brick.
