seven million children live in families in which
severe partner violence occurs?
Last week the article in The Jersey Journal reporting
the horrific death of Patricia Santana made me
sad especially because this act of violence happened in our neighborhood, to a woman who had
dedicated 30 years of her life to teach in the Faith
Formation Program in her parish, and because
she represents the problem of ongoing violence
done to women in our County, State and World
every single day. This woman was described as an
"angel" and so are the many other women, men
and children who are victims of domestic violence.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
It is a good time to provide some information and resources about Domestic Violence
in case you or someone you know needs help.
What is domestic violence?
Domestic violence is a pattern of coercive,
controlling behavior that can include physical
abuse, emotional or psychological abuse,
sexual abuse or financial abuse (using money
and financial tools to exert control).
Domestic violence is a pervasive, lifethreatening crime that affects millions
of individuals across the United States
regardless of age, economic status, race,
religion or education.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH’S
RESPONSE:
“When I Call for Help”
Patricia Santana, 53, of
Jersey City was stabbed
to death in her Kennedy
Boulevard apartment
by her ex-boyfriend,
authorities said.

Nigel Mohammed)
High-profile cases of domestic violence will
attract headlines, but thousands of people
experience domestic abuse every day. They
come from all walks of life.
Batterers make it very difficult for victims to
escape relationships. Sadly, many survivors
suffer from abuse for decades.
It’s important for survivors to know that the
abuse is not their fault, and they are not alone.
Help is available for those who suffer from
domestic violence.

In their statement “When I Call for Help,” which
was published in 1992 and reaffirmed in 2002,
the US bishops unequivocally rejected domestic violence: As pastors of the Catholic Church in
the United States, we state as clearly and strongly
as we can that violence against women, inside or
outside the home, is never justified. Violence in any
form – physical, sexual, psychological, verbal – is
sinful; often it is a crime as well. We have called for
a moral revolution to replace a culture of violence.
“When I Call for Help” remains the touchstone of
the Church’s response to domestic violence. In it,
the bishops address four audiences: victims of
domestic violence (predominately, though not
exclusively, women), clergy and Church employees, abusers (predominately, though not exclusively, men), and society at large.
The bishops say very clearly that domestic
violence can never be justified by Scripture or
Church teaching. “A correct reading of Scripture
leads people to an understanding of the equal
dignity of men and women and to relationships based on mutuality and love” (p 9). They
remind victims of abuse that they are not to
blame. And to victims who are abused by their
spouse, the bishops state clearly that “no person
is expected to stay in an abusive marriage” (p 9).
In this, they echo the Code of Canon Law, which
states, “If either of the spouses causes grave
mental or physical danger to the other spouse
or to the offspring or otherwise renders common life too difficult, that spouse gives the other
a legitimate cause for leaving [ie separation]”
(canon 1153.1). In the last section of “When I
Call for Help,” the bishops provide suggestions for action for abused women, men who
abuse, and pastors and pastoral staff, who are
often “first responders” to a situation of abuse.
“When I Call for Help” is available online at

Our Mother of Perpetual Help
St Alphonsus Liguori founded the
Redemptorists in 1732 so the congregation’s brothers and priests might
proclaim the Gospel to the most
abandoned, especially the poor. The
community’s primary ministry was
to conduct parish missions, that is, to
visit local churches and offer “revivals,”
preaching sermons, providing catechesis, celebrating the sacraments,
reconciling sinners, and teaching
people how to pray and continue in
their faith journey once the missionaries had moved on. Alphonsus wanted
his community to be preachers of conversion who would lead people to a
lasting, saving relationship with their
Lord, Jesus Christ.
To bring people into this relationship
with Christ, Alphonsus made sure that
his Redemptorist missionaries never
neglected any chance to preach about
Mary. Alphonsus urged his fellow missionaries to dwell on the themes of
Mary’s mercy and powerful intercession. It was Alphonsus’ pastoral experience that no sermon did more good
in opening people’s hearts to love and
to a desire for conversion from sin than
his sermons on the motherly mercy of
Mary. He used paintings and statues of
Mary as visual aids that complemented and carried his message about
Mary and her Son.
When Pope Pius IX gave the icon of
Our Mother of Perpetual Help to the
Redemptorists in 1865, Alphonsus’
spiritual heirs found it fit perfectly with
the themes they had been preaching.
To this day in churches and homes,
wherever a copy of the icon hangs, the
message of plentiful redemption and
merciful love is continually proclaimed
by the Redemptorist Madonna, Our
Mother of Perpetual Help.

My nephew Alexander is fascinated by things
that grow. His recent birthday gifts have included sunflower seeds and a grow-your-ownbutterflies kit. Many post-birthday phone conversations have included intensely detailed
accounts of cocoon development and how big
his sunflower stalks are. Meanwhile, his aunt
ponders how he got to be so big—didn’t I rock
that newborn to sleep just yesterday?
Catholic Charities Food Drive
The Catholic Charities’ Emergency Food and Nutrition Network (CCEFNN) Thirtieth Annual Harvest
of Hope Food Drive provides an opportunity for
schools to respond to those in need in our area. The
CCEFNN has always provided emergency food and
other essential items to the poorest and most vulnerable members of the community-the homeless, the
working poor, senior citizens struggling on a fixed
income and the disabled.
As Alex is discovering, growth is natural for living
things, ourselves included. We all know about
growing older, growing taller, and growing thicker around the waist. But spiritual growth doesn’t
always come as naturally. It’s something we must
work toward more consciously.
Today’s familiar Gospel challenges us to this conscious growth. We know we should love God with
our whole selves, and we know we should love our
neighbors as ourselves. Yet it’s one thing to love,
and it’s another thing to grow in love. Is our love
for God increasing each day? Is our love for others
growing to be more like Jesus’ love? Or have we narrowed whom we consider to be our neighbor and
worthy of our love?
All God’s children are our neighbors. The Exodus
reading clearly declares God’s expansive love for
the poor, foreigners, the oppressed, and the dispossessed. Are our hearts large enough to love
these people?
My nephew watches his cocoons and sunflowers
with great hope, waiting to see growth. Our Father,
too, watches and waits—for our hearts to grow
large with love.
This past year we have seen a significant number of
people who have jobs but because of the high costs
of rent, medical care and utilities in our area can’t
make end meets and must turn to a church pantry
for help. Your participation in the Harvest of Hope
Drive (October 16 – December 31) can make an important difference to the many families we help in
the four counties of Essex, Hudson, Union and Bergen. For a donation form to the drive please contact eh

The Call That Comes Every Day
By Kathleen M BASI
important thing is to keep turning back.
How often have you promised yourself to change,
only to find that within a few days or weeks you’ve
reverted to your old ways? Conversion doesn’t happen according to a schedule, and God doesn’t call us
based on the calendar. He calls us when he has work
for us or when we’re tripping on our own weaknesses.
In other words, he calls every moment of every day.
This, he emphasized, is the true meaning of repentance. Every time we consciously shift our
focus from our own anxieties back to God, it’s a
recommitment—a moment of renewal. This is an
encouraging thought. Bad habits are easier to come
by than good ones, and replacing the former with
the latter requires constant vigilance. The practice
of turning and returning to God defines the Christian journey.
The question is, do we listen and respond? When I
find myself re-resolving the same things, I get frustrated. If my commitment is sincere, why do I have
to keep starting over?
I once heard a homily that addressed this frustration. The priest urged us not to beat ourselves up
when our attention wanders during Mass. We all
come to the table filled with our own worries and
concerns; it’s human nature to be distracted. The
We all need daily reminders of how much we depend on God’s saving grace, of how little we can accomplish on our own. God calls us when our hearts
are in need of repentance, and that call comes every
day—as reliable as the sun rising in the east, as certain as the failure of our own resolve. Can you hear
that quiet voice within your heart speaking, asking
you to make a change?
A NEW SACRED ARTS WORKSHOP FOR BEGINNERS:
PAINTING & GILDING A CELTIC ANGEL
SETON HALL UNIVERSITY
PIRATES OF IRISH PERSUASION & EXTRACTION (PIPE) ALUMNI CLUB
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2014 9 AM TO 2 PM
CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING: PACEM IN TERRIS — PART THREE
In parts I and II of this column on Pope Saint John
XXIII’s encyclical Pacem In
Terris, we saw that he applied the Church’s social
teaching on the rights and
duties of human and the
relationships between individuals and governments to
contemporary issues. Continuing our examination
of this encyclical, we shall
now take a look at how Pope
John applies Catholic social
teaching to the phenomenon of globalization and the
interdependence of nations.
Pope John points out that,
as science and technology
progress, opportunities for
cooperation between individuals and nations grow as
well. As this process of cooperation expands, global
economies become interdependent. This means the
social progress, security,
and peace of one country
can now affect all countries.
He says that this phenomenon has created a situation
in which a country cannot
rightly seek its own interests
and development in isolation from other countries.
Pope John calls for a universal public authority, in which
all nations willingly participate and are represented,
that will work toward a
concrete universal common
good. Once this authority
has been recognized by common accord it can begin to
work for the objective recognition, respect, protection,
and promotion of human
rights. However, he emphasizes that the relationship
between this universal public authority and individual
nations must be governed by
subsidiarity, meaning that
the public authorities within
these nations can carry out
their tasks and duties without excessive interference.
Pope John expresses hope
that the United Nations may
eventually evolve into such
a universal public authority
as it continues its efforts to
maintain and consolidate
peace between nations and
peoples.
Overall, Pope John XXIII
calls for a universal public
authority that will help nations live together in peace
in a globalized world. While
this authority would have
real power to guide relations
between nations in order to
avoid conflict, it would not
replace the governments of
each individual nation. Pope
John hopes that establishing such a universal public
authority would prevent
nations of seeking their
own selfish interests at the
expense of other nations
and create a more just and
peaceful world.

Reading Recommendations
Do Not Take Pleasure in Others’ Mistakes
“I take you ... to have and to
hold, from this day forward, for
better for worse, for richer and
for poorer, in sickness and in
health, until death do us part.”
Days are shortening, temperatures are dropping and the appeal of an
evening on the couch with a book is hard to resist. Below are some books
which will pair well with hot cider.
“You Cannot Reprimand a Person Without Love and Charity,” Pope Says.
With these brief words a marriage becomes
a living symbol of God’s unfailing love and
fidelity. The couple gives and receives their
consent not only to one another before
God, but to the whole church. With that
in mind we ask all parishioners to keep
the following couples in your prayers as
they prepare to be wed this weekend, and
that their life together will be a true sign of
God’s love to the world.

Francis: Life and Revolution,
Elisabetta Pique
In Italy, they call him il Papa, which means “The
Father.” Until his unprecedented election, author
and friend Elisabetta Piqué called him Padre Jorge.
He may have changed his name to become Pope
Francis, but it did not change their friendship.
Since Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis
in 2013, countless books have been written to help
the world understand this deeply complex yet
simple servant of God. What sets Pope Francis: Life
and Revolution apart from all other biographies
of Pope Francis is the careful research and original
investigation behind it, along with the fact that it is
written by an internationally respected journalist—
Elisabetta Piqué—who has remained close to the
Pope since first meeting him back in 2001.
With a foreword by Cardinal Seán O’Malley, OFM
Cap, Pope Francis: Life and Revolution is the definitive
resource and narrative of a man personally known
by few and revered and respected by many.

True fraternal reprimand is painful because it is done with love,
in truth and humility. Moreover
it is unchristian to take pleasure
when reprimanding someone.
This was the focus of Pope Francis
homily last month during Mass in
Santa Marta, on the day when the
Church celebrated the Feast Day
of the Holy Name of Mary.
The Pope was reflecting on the
Gospel passage where Jesus
warns against noticing the splinter in our brother’s eye but failing
to see the wooden beam in our
own. This inspired him to return
to the subject of fraternal reprimand. First, he said, the erring
brother should be reprimanded
with charity. “You cannot reprimand a person without love and
charity. [Just like] you cannot perform surgery without anesthesia:
you cannot, because the patient
will die from the pain. And charity is like an anesthetic that helps
you to receive treatment and accept reprimand. Take him to one
side and talk to him, with gentleness, with love”.
Secondly, — he continued — we
must speak the truth: “Do not
say something that is not true.
How often in our community are
things said about another person
that are not true: they are slander.
Or if they are true, they destroy the
person’s reputation”. “Gossip —
the Pope repeated — hurt; gossip
are a slap in the face of a person’s
reputation, they are an attack on
the heart of a person. “Sure — he
observed — when they tell you
the truth is not nice to hear, but if
it is spoken with charity and love,
it is easier to accept”. Therefore,
“we must speak of other people’s
defects” with charity.
Thirdly, we must reprimand with
humility: “If you really need to
reprimand a little flaw, stop and
remember that you have many
more and far bigger!” “Fraternal
reprimand is an act that heals the
Body of the Church. There’s a tear,
there, in the fabric of the Church
that we must mend. And like
mothers and grandmothers, who
mend so gently, so delicately, we
must do likewise when we want
to reprimand our brother. If you’re
not able to do this with love, charity, truth and humility, you will
offend, you will destroy the heart
of that person, you will add to
gossip, that hurts, and you will become a blind hypocrite, just as Jesus says. Hypocrite, first take the
wooden beam out of your own
Sponsor Certificates
Many of our parishioners request Sponsor Certificates
so that they may serve as Godparents at the Baptism
or Sponsors for the Confirmation of a loved one. This
is a great honor.
It means is that the young person (or his/her parents)
recognize you as someone who is an active and regular
participant in the practice of the Catholic faith, willing
and able to help pass on the faith to a young person.
In order for our Pastor to prepare a Sponsor Certificate
on your behalf, we ask that parishioners review and
complete the PDF application found on our web site
spphoboken.com/Baptism.php Please note that Ss Peter
and Paul will only certify those who are registered
(for at least 3 months) and known to the parish,
actively participate in its life, including regular mass
attendance and support Ss Peter and Paul with
envelopes or Parish Pay. Anonymous parishioners and
donors cannot be verified. Simply “being” a Catholic is
not enough to serve in this important capacity.
Should you have questions, please call the office at
201-659-2276 or email: secretaryspp@gmail.com
eye. ...’. Hypocrite! Recognize that
you are the more sinful than the
other, but you, as a brother must
help to reprimand the other”. “A
sign that perhaps can help us in
this” — said the Pope — is when
we feel “a certain delight” when
“we see something wrong” and
consider it our job to deliver a reprimand: you have to be “careful
because that is not coming from
the Lord”.
“The Cross, the difficulty of doing a good thing is ever present
in the Lord; the love that leads
us, the meekness is always of the
Lord. Do not judge. We Christians
tend to behave like doctors: stand
on the sidelines of the game
between sin and grace as if we
were angels ... No! Paul says:’ for
fear that, after having preached
to others, I myself should be disqualified ‘. And a Christian who,
in the community, does not do
things – even fraternal reprimand
– in love, in truth and humility, is

ALL SOULS DAY
Pray for the Dead
Often overshadowed by the two days preceding it, Halloween (October 31) and All Saints Day
(November 1), All Souls Day is a solemn feast in
our Church commemorating all of those who
have died and now are in purgatory, awaiting to
be invited fully into Heaven. One of the ways we
remember our beloved dead is by having masses
offered for them.
The importance of All Souls Day was made clear
by Pope Benedict XV (1914-22), when he granted
all priests the privilege of celebrating three Masses on All Souls Day: one, for the faithful departed;
one for the priest's intentions; and one for the
intentions of the Holy Father. Only on a handful
of other very important feast days are priests
allowed to celebrate more than two Masses, except for pastoral necessity.
On All Souls Day, we not only remember the
dead, but we apply our efforts, through prayer,
almsgiving, and the Mass, to their release from
Purgatory. Tradition tells us that there are two
plenary indulgences attached to All Souls Day,
one for visiting a church and another for visiting
a cemetery.
Praying for the dead is a Christian obligation.
In the modern world, when many have come
to doubt the Church's teaching on Purgatory,
the need for such prayers has only increased.
The Church devotes the month of November to
prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, and participation in the Mass of All Souls Day is a good
way to begin the month.
Envelopes to list the names of your beloved deceased are located in the rear of the Church.
We remember the recently departed
retired members from the Hoboken
Police and Fire Departments:
†Police Captain Rafael "Ray" Cruz, Jr
†Fire Captain Joseph F Montecalvo
†Police Lieutenant Harry J Pinkman
†Firefighter John J Huelbig
†Police Sergeant James
"Jimmy" Mancuso
†Firefighter George F Schlereth
†Police Officer Harry Huncken
†Firefighter George Hendricks
†Firefighter Willie L Pittman
All will be remembered in a
Memorial Mass in November.

PLANNED GIVING
Enabling Ss Peter And Paul
To Serve For The nNext 125 Years
For the long-term benefit of Ss Peter and Paul,
planned giving establishes a way for you to provide
for family members while caring for the parish.
Planned giving not only benefits the Church —many
forms provide substantial tax benefits to the giver.
Here are just a few forms of planned giving to consider. Note that we ask funds to be directed to the
parish Legacy Fund, a restricted fund to be used
soley for parish-specific projects and not subjected
to the Archdiocesan tax.
Securities
By giving appreciated securities that you have
owned for more than a year, your charitable deduction is the fair market value of the securities on the
date of the gift. Such gifts provide income tax savings and eliminates your capital gains tax liability.
Gifts by Will
The parish can be remembered in your Will while
still providing for your loved ones. Suggested wording for such bequests is: I give the sum of $_________
(or _____% of my estate) to the Legacy Fund of the
Church of Ss Peter and Paul, 404 Hudson Street, Hoboken, NJ 07030.
Gift of Life
Insurance
Consider naming The
Legacy Fund of Ss Peter and Paul Church,
404 Hudson Street,
Hoboken, NJ 07030 as the beneficiary or owner of
a new life insurance policy or the beneficiary of an
existing policy. For a young adult, the premium for
purchasing a new policy is minimal, yet the lasting
benefits to the parish are significant.
Gifts of Retirement Plans
Consider naming the Legacy Fund of the Church of
Ss Peter and Paul, 404 Hudson Street, Hoboken, NJ
07030 as a beneficiary or contingent beneficiary on
your “beneficiary designation” of your retirement
plan, IRA or 401(k). It’s easy, requires no attorneys or
fee, and is tax advantageous.
Contact Father Bob Meyer, Esq at pastorspp@gmail.
com or at 201-659-2276 or Louis Scarpa, Parish Development Director at ddevelopmentspp@gmail.
com or 201-659-2276 x306. Your care for God’s church
through a planned giving will enable Ss Peter and
Paul to continue a legacy of faith and service.
“Our Shelves are Almost Bare”
Ss Peter and Paul heads to the supermarket
The timing of our recent collection for Our Lady of
Sorrows Church Food Pantry, Jersey City, could not
have been more perfect. When Lou Scarpa called
informing Sister Alice McCoy, OP of Our Lady of Sorrows that the groceries were ready, she replied: “Our
shelves are almost bare. I’ll be over in 10 minutes.”
Amazingly, Sister arrived within a few minutes,
crediting the fact that her dad was a New York City
cabbie. The generous parishioners of Ss Peter and
Paul, through our Social Justice Sunday collection,
brought almost 50 bags of groceries to church on
October 12. THANK YOU to all who were able and
willing to donated the food items.The next collection will be on November 9 benefiting the St Matthew Trinity Lunch Time, Hudson St, Hoboken.
More info will follow.
Volunteers are needed to coordinate this SPP effort.
Please contact our coordinator, Odalys at odalys.caballero@gmail.com.
