COMMUNION TO THE SICK is taken by Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist on a regular basis to those confined to their homes. Please call the Parish Center.
THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at 1:30 PM (not during Lent). A family must be registered in the parish, attend the baptismal preparation class, and cooperate with the regulations established by the parish. Our baptismal class is held on the 2nd Monday of the month at 8:00 PM. Please call the Parish Center to register any time during your pregnancy.
THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION is celebrated on Saturday between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM in the Chapel or by appointment.
THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION is celebrated once a year, here at St. Augustine. A candidate must successfully complete our Religious Education program. Adult Confirmation is held on Pentecost Sunday and any interested adults should contact the Parish Center.
THE SACRAMENT OF THE SICK is administered at home to any Catholic who is seriously ill. Please call the Parish Center. Any parishioner admitted to a local hospital should contact the Catholic Hospital Chaplain through the hospital. A family member should contact the parish when someone is admitted to the hospital. We will gladly pray for any members who are sick, whether at home or in the hospital, at our Sunday Masses; however, it is necessary for the family to “request” it.
THE SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY is celebrated by the Pastor or one of our deacons. Weddings may be scheduled on Friday evening, Saturday, or Sunday afternoon. Only a ceremony is permitted on Sunday. The pastor will confirm the date so couples should contact the Parish Center at least ONE YEAR in advance. All the necessary information will be sent to you. The attendance at Pre-Cana or an Engaged Encounter Weekend is required. One must be a registered member of the parish. Our parish upholds the Gospel values and the Church’s teachings regarding the sacredness of marriage and those couples choosing to live together in contradiction of those values, will receive a simple ceremony and all Diocesan regulations followed.
THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS and RELIGIOUS LIFE: If you are considering serving God as a priest, deacon, or religious, you may contact your parish priest, deacon, or religious; or phone the Diocesan Office of Vocations at (732) 562-1990.

Therefore, every tree that does not bear fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” Matthew 3:10
Do you bear good fruit for Christ? Or, do you spend your time, talent, and treasure constantly acquiring more toys, clutter, and junk. Our time, our talent, and our treasure are gifts that God has given us. What we do with them is our gift back to God. What gifts are you planning to give to the Lord during this upcoming Christmas season?

MEDITATION FOR DECEMBER 8, 2019 A Savior is coming who will bring justice and peace to the faithful. God is calling out to us-through His prophets and Apostles, through His holy Word, through His Son whom He sent to dwell among us-that He has come to save us. His kingdom is one of justice and peace. Will we listen to these holy voices crying out to us in
the desert of worldly divisions and distractions? Isaiah tells of the justice and peace that shall reign in the kingdom of God. Saint Paul prays that God will give the community the ability to be in harmony and united with Christ. In the Gospel, John the Baptist exhorts his listeners to turn away from their sins and be baptized, for the one who is coming after him is even mightier.
Religious give thanks “’Thank you’ hardly seems adequate to convey what it means to us,” says a Catholic sister of the financial assistance her community received from the Retirement Fund for Religious. Prayer-filled thanks for your donation to last week’s collection.
OUR LADY OF FATIMA STATUE & OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE ICON This week the Statue of Our Lady of Fatima will be in the home of Tom DeLuca. Please remember to pick up the two black bags and returning them and the statue back to the priest’s sacristy on Saturday, December 14, after the 5pm Mass. Thank you for taking Our Lady on a journey through our parish.
INTENTIONS OF OUR HOLY FATHER We are invited to unite with our Holy Father, Pope Francis, for this universal intention during the month of December.
The Future of the Very Young. That every country determine to take the necessary measures to make the future of the very young, especially those who suffer, a priority.

OUTREACH MINISTRY
“ S i l e n c e i s t h e s a f e t y z o n e o f conversations.” (Arnold Glasow). When we help those in need, silence turns into grateful
appreciation. (Envelopes can be found in the Gathering Area of the Church).
Senior Club Meeting
December 10 Christmas Party-St. A’s Children’s Choir
THE CHRISTMAS WAFER Christmas Wafers (Oplatki) will be available after each Mass this weekend of December 7/8 and December 14/15 First come, first served. A $2.00 donation is requested.
The word Bethlehem means “House of Bread.” Breaking bread is a sign of charity, unity, and friendship. Religious family traditions and customs bring the truths of Faith into the home. One of these beautiful Christmas customs is the Christmas Wafer.
With a simple prayer for God’s grace and the welfare of the present and absent members of the family, the head of the family breaks the Wafer and distributes it, a piece to each person at the table. While doing so, each member of the family is kissed and wished a joyful feast. The other family members then greet one another in the same way.
The spiritual lesson in this age-old custom is the unity of the family—the main pillar of society. The bond of unity is the Christ-like charity that should exist amongst the members of the family. The father of the family is the link in the unbroken chain of One Body, One Bread, One Christ, and One Church. The family joins him in this eternal procession no matter where they are. For there is a universal longing by men to be always with one another, with God.
All this brings to mind clearly our charity for one another, to seek salvation together. Family customs remind us that we seek and obtain salvation with the help of others at all times.
CHRISTMAS FLOWER DONATIONS
On December 14/15, we will have our Christmas Flower Collection. Please place your offering in with the regular collection. Those who contribute in the Christmas Flower collection will be acknowledged in a bulletin
in January. Please place the name of deceased family and friends on the back of the envelope, which will be placed by the Nativity, along with your special intentions which will be remembered in all our Christmas Masses.

An Examination of Conscience to help you prepare to celebrate the
Sacrament of Reconciliation
Why should we confess? Confession is a sacrament instituted by Jesus Christ in His love and mercy to offer sinners forgiveness for offenses committed against God. At the same time, sinners reconcile with the Church, because it is also wounded by our sins. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a sacrament of healing and a sacrament of conversion, returning us to the Father after our sin.
We use an examination of conscience to help call to mind our sins and failings during a period of quiet reflection before approaching the priest in Confession. It’s important for an examination of conscience to be thorough. This will help you learn about things that you may not be aware of. It’s also a chance to develop your conscience.
To make an examination of conscience:
set aside some quiet time for reflection
start by praying to the Holy Spirit, asking for help in make a good examination to prepare for Confession
read through the terms on this list and honestly reflect on your behavior for each item
this examination of conscience is based on the Ten Commandments

RITE OF CONFESSION
INTRODUCTORY RITES
Upon kneeling or taking your seat in the room with the priest, bless yourself with the sign of the cross (+) and say:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Bless me Father for I have sinned.
At this point, the priest will encourage the penitent to have confidence in God with these or other words: May the Lord be in your heart and help you to confess your sins with true sorrow.
If the penitent is unknown to the priest, it is proper to indicate to the priest your state of life, i.e. single, married, divorced, etc., the time of your last confession, difficulties in leading the Christian life, and anything else which may help the priest to exercise his ministry. The penitent will accuse him or herself of his or her sins and ask for forgiveness. After you completed your Confession, the priest will counsel or provide opportune advice, impart a Penance and may ask you to pray the Act of Contrition, either before him or privately afterwards in the Church. ACT OF CONTRITION
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because of Your just punishment, but most of all because they offend You, my God, Who art all good, and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more, and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen. The priest will then impart Absolution: God, the Father of mercies, through the death and resurrection of his Son has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins; through the ministry of the Church, may God give you pardon and peace, and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
The penitent answers:
Amen.
The priest dismisses the penitent with a final blessing. The penitent makes the sign of the cross and leaves the Confessional. He or she is expected to fulfill the penance imposed.
(After your Confession, enjoy the peacefulness of the Church!)
The Lord has freed you from sin. May He bring you safely to His kingdom in heaven.
Glory to Him Forever!
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BECOMING A CATHOLIC?
Or perhaps you are a baptized Catholic who never completed the Sacraments of Initiation (Confirmation and Eucharist). The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is just

Meetings are held on Sundays at 8:00 am in Father McGivney Hall (followed by 10:00 am Mass). If you are interested in getting connected, please call the Parish Center at 732-297-3000. Deacon Denis
