PARISH & SACRAMENTAL INFORMATION
Welcome! The Archdiocese requires that all Roman Catholics be registered in a parish. Those who desire to be
godparents for Baptism or sponsors for Confirmation must be registered and actively practicing the faith. We cannot
certify your eligibility for these roles if you are not registered and if we do not know you. To obtain a census and
registration form, please call the rectory or visit our website.
BAPTISM – The Church asks that children be baptized soon after birth. Baptisms are scheduled once a month on
Sunday afternoons. Please call the rectory office in advance of your desired month for baptism. Parents and godparents
will attend a special catechetical session before the baptism. Godparents must meet all of the Church’s eligibility
requirements.
R.C.I.A. – This is a process for those adults (18 years and older) who desire to become Catholic or complete the
initiation sacraments (Eucharist and/or Confirmation). It is also intended for those baptized in another Christian
denomination who wish to join the Catholic faith. Call the rectory and speak to Deacon Bob Millea for further
information.
MARRIAGE – The Roman Catholic Church affirms the belief that marriage is designed for the union of one man and
one woman. Roman Catholics are bound by the Church’s law to marry in a Catholic Church and have that marriage
witnessed by a priest or a deacon. The Common Policy on Marriage in the State of New Jersey requires the couple to
prepare for one year prior to entering into marriage. Please call the rectory for more information.
ANOINTING OF THE SICK – Please notify the rectory in the event of a serious illness. A communal Mass of
Anointing is offered once a year. Visits to the homebound, upon request, can be made. Please notify a priest when a
loved one is near death so the appropriate prayers may be administered.
HOLY ORDERS – Any Catholic male, regardless of age, who feels the Lord calling him to the happy and fulfilling
life of a priest is asked to speak to one of the parish priests or to call the Vocations Office at 973-313-6190. You can
also visit www.newpriestnj.org.

THE SUNDAY READINGS
The 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 26, 2014
Exodus 22: 20-26
1 Thessalonians 1: 5-10
Matthew 22: 34-40
The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
November 2, 2014
Isaiah 25:6-9
Romans 5:5-11
Mark 15:33-39, 16:1-6
Our liturgical traditions reflect their origins in the northern hemisphere. From pre-historic times, the waning of the
winter sun has prompted reflection upon life’s end and what lies beyond the grave. In the closing weeks of the liturgical year,
the Church has wisely taken account of these old traditions. After celebrating All Saints, we remember All Souls - all those who
have died and gone before us. What a contrast there is between the outlook of those who join in these celebrations united in
Christian faith and its certainty of sharing in the risen life of the Lord, ‘the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep’ (1 Cor
15:20), and the uncertainty of those who have no hope, or who turn to other human traditions to understand what lies beyond
the grave. The ‘Communion of Saints’, one of the articles of Catholic faith, assures us that our shared life ‘in Christ’ establishes
a fellowship that overcomes the limits of space and time. On All Souls Day, this sense of being united in God’s family is a very
real part of our celebration.
In this awareness of family bonds, ‘Purgatory’ has loomed large in our Catholic outlook. For a renewed faith, the
Church’s teaching on Purgatory should be a source of encouragement. Emphasis upon Purgatory as a state of punishment was
misleading. As the name itself indicates, the Church’s belief is in a blessed renewal that makes those who have died ready to
enter finally into God’s friendship, to share all things with God. Given our human frailty, few of us die with hearts ready for this.
If this mysterious transition involves the pain of the final roots of our selfishness being removed, it must also be a joyful
experience for those who know that they are about to know God’s self-giving in eternal happiness.
The readings, therefore, bring us the message of Christian hope. The first reading, from the prophet Isaiah, promises
that God ‘will destroy death for ever’, and that the family of God will gather rejoicing around one table.
Or ‘hope is not deceptive’, Paul assures us, grounded as it is in ‘the love of God poured into our hearts by the Holy
Spirit’ – a love demonstrated to the world by the fact that ‘Christ died for us’, an astounding fact, that ‘fills us with joyful trust’.
Mark’s account of the death that Christ died for us is a masterpiece – a wealth of meaning expressed in so few words:
creation stands still as the earth is covered with darkness; the old order passes away as the Temple veil is rent; and the pagan
centurion is the spokesman of a world about to find faith in what God has done. It is important to recognize that the words of
Jesus, ‘My God, why have you deserted me?’ – a cry, certainly, that gave expression to the anguish of one going to his death
in the darkness of a lost world – are the first words of a psalm (Ps 22) that ends with a magnificent expression of hope and
confidence in the God who ‘has listened to the cry for help’. ‘And those who are dead’, it continues, ‘their descendants will serve
him, will proclaim his name to generations still to come’.
~Emmaus Series
POPE FRANCIS
The Holy Father's Prayer Intentions
For 2014
FOR THE MONTH OF
OCTOBER
Universal: That the Lord may grant peace to those parts of
the world most battered by war and violence.
For Evangelization: That World Mission Day may rekindle
in every believer zeal for carrying the Gospel into all the
world.
Glimmer of Light
Always bear in mind as a safe general rule that while
God tries us by His crosses and sufferings, He always
leaves us a glimmer of light by which we continue to
have great trust in him and to recognize His immense
goodness.

Dear Parishioners,
Can you believe we are at the last weekend in October already? Time certainly flies by…I hope we’re
having fun!
This coming Friday is, of course, our celebration of Halloween. In reality, the ancient celebrations of this
holiday have roots in Christian tradition. The former spelling of the holiday puts it into proper context:
“Hallow e’en”, literally, “the evening of the Holy”. Just as December 24th is the Eve of Christmas, October
31st is the Eve of All Saints’ Day. We remember the saints, the holy men and women of our faith who,
having achieved their heavenly glory, now intercede for us before the throne of Almighty God.
Popular culture has downgraded this Christian observance and emphasized witches, devils, ghosts and
ghouls. In some ways, the way we celebrate Halloween helps us to confront our own fears. Of course,
from a Christian perspective, our celebration of Halloween and, more importantly, All Saints Day, should
help us confront the reality that awaits us in heaven. Consider how best to celebrate all the saints,
especially your patron saint or a saint to whom you have a close and prayerful attraction.
Since November 1st falls on a Saturday, the obligation to attend Mass for the holy day in honor of all the
saints is not in effect this year. However, it is always a good practice to go to Mass even when we are not
obliged to. Mass for the All Saints holy day will be offered at 7:00 p.m. on Friday night and at 8:30 a.m.
on Saturday morning.
The 5:00 p.m. Mass on November 1st satisfies the Sunday obligation and not All Saints’ Day.
+++
Next Sunday, November 2nd, we will offer our annual Mass of Remembrance at twelve noon. We will
remember, by name, those who have died and were buried from our parish this past year. A candle will
be lit for our beloved dead. These candles will join the candles that are being offered in memory of our
loved ones. Please consider joining us for the twelve noon Mass next weekend to remember the members
of our parish family.
+++
Have a great week!
Father Joe

Do you put other “gods” before God? Is your love of money,
power, status or some personal pos-session greater than
your love for God? If so, you may want to pay attention to
the scripture reading because you are not going to like the
outcome. The good news – it’s not too late to put God first
in your life.

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN
TURN ALL YOUR CLOCKS BACK ONE HOUR
NOVEMBER 2nd AT 2:00 A.M.
Here’s some background information about Daylight Saving Time, a system to reduce electricity usage by extending
daylight hours.
Beginning in 2007, Daylight Saving Time starts in the United States on the second Sunday in March and ends on
the first Sunday in November.
Timeline:
!
1784 – The idea of daylight saving is first conceived by Benjamin Franklin.
!
1914-1918 – Britain goes on DLS during World War I.
!
March 19, 1918 – The Standard Time Act establishes time zones and daylight savings. Daylight savings is
repealed in 1919, but continues to be recognized in certain areas of the U.S.
!
1945-1966 – There is no federal law regarding Daylight Saving Time.
!
1966 – The Uniform Time Act of 1966 establishes the system of uniform Daylight Saving Time throughout the
U.S. The dates are the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. States can exempt themselves from
participation.
!
1974-1975 – Congress extends DLS in order to save energy during the energy crisis.
!
1986-2006 – Daylight Saving Time begins on the first Sunday in April and ends on the last Sunday in October.
!
August 8, 2005 – President Bush signs the Energy Policy Act of 2005 into law. Part of the act will extend
Daylight Saving Time starting in 2007, from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
!
2007 – Under the new laws, all of Indiana now observes Daylight Saving Time, where only certain areas of the
state did before.
!
Exceptions in the U.S.:
In the US, Hawaii and most of Arizona do not follow DLS.
The U.S. territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and American Samoa also do not
observe DLS.
!
What countries follow Daylight Saving Time?
About 70 countries around the world observe DLS.
Many countries near the equator do not adjust their clocks for daylight saving.
Neither China nor Japan observe DLS.
!
Some countries refer to “Daylight Saving Time” as “Summer Time.”

Saint of the Week
Blessed Thomas of Florence
(d. 1447)
October 31
he son of a butcher in Florence, Thomas led such a wild life for a time that
parents warned their sons to stay away from him. A rich man in town
befriended him and led him deeper into depravity. Accused of a serious
crime that he had not committed, Thomas went to his friend for protection. The
man would not even see him and told him to stay away. Crushed, Thomas
wandered the streets until he met a priest who listened to his story and took
Thomas into his home. Ultimately, he was able to get Thomas declared innocent
of the crime.
T
Thomas broke off his former associations and began to lead a life of prayer and
penance. Filled with grace, he asked to be admitted to a Franciscan friary as a lay brother. He went on to
become a model friar, fasting, keeping vigils, disciplining himself. He wore the cast-off clothes of his
brothers. He was frequently wrapped in ecstasy. Though he was never ordained a priest and remained
content to serve as a lay brother, Thomas was appointed novice master. Many young men followed in his
path of holiness.
Thomas founded numerous convents of friars in southern Italy. And Pope Martin V called upon him to
preach against the Fraticelli, a branch of heretical Franciscans. He was also asked to go to the Orient to
promote the reunion of the Eastern and Western Churches. There he was imprisoned and expected to
receive the crown of martyrdom. But the Pope ransomed him for a large sum of money. Thomas returned
to Italy and died on a journey to Rome, where he had hoped to receive permission to return to the Orient.
Comment:
When Thomas needed a compassionate listening ear, he found one in a stranger. Had the priest not heard
him out, he might never have achieved a place among the blessed. Who knows what God has in mind for
the person who wants to bend our ear and find a compassionate listener?
