niedziela 2 listopad 2014 – Niedziela-Dzień Zaduszny

W domu Ojca mego jest mieszkań wiele ... Jezus nie kryje przed nami ani konieczności swego własnego "odejścia", swojej własnej śmierci, ani konieczności naszego odejścia, śmierci każdego z nas. Nie mówi nam "nie bój się nie umrzesz". Ale mówiąc o konieczności śmierci pokazuje nam jednocześnie drogę jaką powinniśmy kroczyć, aby dotrzeć do domu Ojca i pokazuje nam ostateczny cel naszej wędrówki. Jego słowa: "Ja jestem Drogą, Prawdą i Życiem" można także zrozumieć w następujący sposób: "Ja jestem prawdziwą droga życia", albo "Ja jestem drogą w prawdzie do Życia". Naszym zadaniem jest do tego Życia Wiecznego dotrzeć. W domu Ojca czeka nas prawdziwe życie, czeka nas Życie Wieczne, czeka nas Ten, z Którego rąk wyszliśmy, nasz Ojciec i nasz Zbawiciel i cała rzesza przyjaciół.

DIVINE MERCY HEALING MASS

Sunday, November 9, 2 PM

Holy Family Chapel

MASS OF REMEMBRANCE We are celebrating a Mass of Remembrance for

all of those who have died this past year. The

Mass will be at 10:30 AM in Holy Family

Chapel on Saturday November 8. Light

refreshments will follow.

MASS INTENTIONS FOR 2015

Requests for Mass intentions for 2015 will take

place during this entire month of November.

Because of the large number of requests for

intentions, we will still keep the same

limitations that we had last year.

All intentions are for deceased individuals

announced by their first and last name. Since

the parish now automatically schedules a

‘month’s mind’ and anniversary intention for

those who have recently died, we will send any

extra intentions that come in for that deceased

person to the missions. Any other intention

requests will be collected during the month of

November and then scheduled as best as we

can, casting lots if there are conflicts. It is not a

first-come, first-served policy. Everyone is

limited to two Masses. You may include more

than one person for a particular Mass. Forms for

your Mass requests are available at the rectory.

during this month.

Opportunities for additional memorials will be

the Mothers Day Novena intentions; the Fathers

Day Novena intentions; and the All Souls

intentions. Also, the vigil and sanctuary lights,

and the bread and wine offerings may be

memorialized. Also, Mass intentions for the

deceased or for other intentions may be sent to

the missions.

ATTENTION LECTORS Workbooks are now available for the upcoming

pick up your copy. November 30 is the start of

the new liturgical year.

ALTAR SERVERS NEEDED Do you want to know a sure fire way to assist

your children in following the Mass more

closely or helping them to develop a deeper

relationship with Christ? Perhaps the answer is

by your saying yes. If you are already going to

Mass, it doesn’t take all that much more effort

to attend Mass as an altar server but the benefits

are huge. It is as easy as coming to your first

Altar server training session. There are six one

hour sessions and by Christmas we hope to

have your children prepared to serve at the table

of the Lord. You will be able to set your own

schedule for serving (it can be as often as you

like or only once a month at a particular Mass

time on a given Sunday.) We all are very busy

but this is a simple way to help our children

learn and grow in their faith. The next training

session is Thursday evening November 6th at 6

PM at Holy Family, or Saturday morning

November 8th at 12:30 PM at St. Mary of the

Lake. If you have questions please call the

rectory 732-363-0139.

ATTENTION SNOW BIRDS!

Please notify the rectory of the dates you will be

away for the winter season. We will be happy to

suspend your envelopes until your return in the

spring!

RESPECT LIFE

SPIRITUAL ADOPTION

Our spiritually adopted baby is almost 7 months

old. The baby really fills out over these next

few weeks storing fat on the body and weighing

4-4½ lbs. The bones are fully developed but are

still soft and pliable. Some rhythmic breathing

movements are occurring.

We continue to pray for the well-being and safe

delivery of the baby.

CEMETERY NEWS

Our “clean-up” in the cemetery and

mausoleums is a work in progress. We

encourage you to keep your space tidy and

clean. Overgrown shrubs that are obscuring the

view of the headstone are being removed. If

you’re not sure what the regulations are in your

area, please call the office, 732-363-8262, and

we’ll be happy to provide you with the

regulations.

Effective immediately, no live plants are

permitted in any of the mausoleums. The

stagnant water is drawing bugs. Artificial

flowers are still permitted.

Look for more information in the mausoleums

of a photo program of your personal photo to be

affixed to the crypt/niche front of your loved

one.

INTERFAITH HOSPITALITY

NETWORK

On behalf of our Guests from IHN, I would like

to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of

your physical help, your time, and your

financial support during our Host Week. During

this week we housed 4 families which included

4 moms, 2 dads and 7 children.

On October 19, we had over 20 volunteers who

helped transform Guild Hall into a home for our

guests. (This was exciting just to watch.) Our

families had hectic schedules but at dinner time

they were able to sit down with their children

Page 6: niedziela 2 listopad 2014 Niedziela-Dzień Zadusznysmlparish.net/sml/Parish/OUR PARISH/Bulletins... · Andrzejkową w sobote 15 listopada 2014 o godzinie 8 pm w Southard Fire Department

www.smlparish.net 732 363-0139 8

and enjoy fabulous home cooked meals and

desserts that were prepared by our parishioners.

(They were especially happy to have leftovers

for lunch the next day to take to work.) When

you heard that we were having such a large

group, many of you stopped by and dropped off

extra supplies for the children or added an extra

course for their dinners. This was so much

appreciated by our guests. Thank you for

making our Interfaith Hospitality Guests so

comfortable and safe.

Many of you shared your time by conversing

with our guests through hosting and sleeping

over, thank you! Thank you to the man and

women who helped clean up at 7 am Sunday

morning . Thank you also to those of you who

took the laundry, which really helps out when

our host week is over. There were many of you,

who did not have the time during this week, but

you offered assistance by dropping off

donations and Shop Rite Gift Cards, thank you.

Without each one of you, we would not be able

to help the families of Interfaith Hospitality

Network. All of you helped make this week’s

hosting so much easier because we shared the

work. One more thank you goes out to our

Parish Priests, who were extremely supportive.

Our next guests from Interfaith Hospitality

Network will arrive on Sunday, January 11, and

will stay until Sunday, January 18. We are

always looking for new volunteers to help;

make it a family evening, sleepover or just

come over and help set up or break down.

Thank you for making this ministry a part of

our Parish. For more information please call:

Pat Rainer 732-300-8288 or e-mail

VOCATION AWARENESS WEEK

Did you know that in our country, compared to

50 years ago, there are 20,000 fewer priests and

129,000 fewer religious sisters? At the same

time, the Catholic population has continued to

grow steadily. Many factors have contributed to

the decline: growing secularism a lengthened

period of adolescence, attitudes about celibacy,

etc. During Vocation Awareness week, please

pray that young people in today’s society will

hear and respond to God’s call. And do your

part to encourage them to consider the

priesthood and religious life.

FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP

All are encouraged to read and prayerfully

reflect on the non-partisan document the U.S.

Bishops put out called: Forming Consciences

for Faithful Citizenship: A Call to Political

Responsibility which provides a framework for

Catholics in the United States to apply their

faith and Church teachings to political issues.

And then, most importantly, be actively

engaged in the democratic process, not only by

voting in the upcoming election, but through all

the means of political activism which we as

citizens have a right – and a duty – to perform.

Their document can be found online at:

Reminder – November 4

This is an honor and privilege we should not take for granted!
