Parishioner in Need

Enrico (Rick) Sico is one of our parishioners. He was born in Newark to loving, hard-working parents. After graduating East Side High School, he attended Monmouth University where he majored in Business and Education. After teaching for a few years, he went into their family business, a men's clothing store called Swank Men's Shop and have been in business for 40 years. Rick and his wife, Janis, have been married for over 44 years and both have strong religious beliefs. Rick and Janis have lived in Cranford, Westfield and now reside in Clark.
 
At the present time, Rick is in need of a kidney donation and he is searching for a donor. Time is of the essence and a kidney donation would surely save his life. Rick and Janis are both well aware of the gravity of offering such a donation but, in faith and humility, are hoping and praying that someone from their parish might be able and willing to help. There is no cost at all to the donor. For additional information, you can go to the National Kidney Registry at www.NKR.ORG/NAX432
 
If anyone might be willing to come forward, please contact Msgr. Tom as soon as possible. Thank you.
