Dear Parishioners, This weekend we celebrate the fourteenth week in Ordinary Time and it is also the Fourth of July weekend. Our Gospel from Luke begins when Jesus appointed seventy-two disciples to go out in twos to every town and place He intended to visit. Are we aware that we also have been sent to go out to the world and represent the Lord in our dealings with others? That is what stewardship is about - using our gifts to spread the Good News. We all know that the task of being true to our faith and serving the Lord comes with risks. Isaiah in the first reading does make reference to this but he assures us that God is with us at all times. He assures us of that in the words; “God is with us as a mother comforts a child so God

will comfort us”. Today’s second reading from Paul to the Galatians which seems to have been written to address two issues- the nature of salvation and how that relates to Jewish Law. Paul closes today’s reading by saying, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit”. He wants the Galatians to know that salvation comes from the grace of God, not from keeping Jewish Law. Returning to the Gospel of Luke we know that Jesus had more than 12 followers (Apostles) as he sends 72 additional people out to prepare the way. Jesus sees the entire world and all its peoples as the potential harvest to work among the people. There are incredible needs among humankind. Is there any connection with today’s Scripture readings and the Fourth of July? What are we being sent to do in today’s world? Most of us enjoy July 4th as a time for cookouts, time at the beach, time with family and friends and fireworks but we recognize July 4 means more than that. We are very aware that on July 4, 1776, the United States claimed Independence from Britain, and our democratic republic was born. We celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The United States is truly a diverse nation and “In God we Trust”. More than any other time in our history are we called – sent to stand up for what is right. The 72 were sent out to preach the good news. Change will not happen in our country today unless we eliminate the gray area around moral issues. True freedom is to do what we ought to do because it takes into account the common good, as well as the individual good. What can we do as we try to preach the good news? Some suggestions are : 1. Place God first in our lives. 2. Fight against increasing efforts to remove God from the public square. 3. Be a people of prayer. 4. Teach our children to have faith in God-lead by example. 5. Vote for politicians who embrace and uphold our principles.

thisyear? We meet monthly except July to plan our calendar for the upcoming year. By September we are full speed ahead. Receptions for new parishioners are held three times a year. When we receive the new registration forms for our new parishioners a welcome letter and parish information is sent out to them asking them to reserve the date of the welcome reception. An invitation is sent directly to them at the time of the reception to meet the committee and staff at an informal reception in the rectory. Parents of children that are baptized at Saint Aloysius Parish are sent a letter of congratulations and encouragement in their faith. On the first anniversary of the baptism the parents again receive a letter of support from the parish. We have our annual collections - Back to School;

Giving Tree at Christmas time and our Lenten collections. As an extension of the Social Concerns Committee we have people who take care of the monthly food collections and food pantry and also food collections at Thanksgiving and Easter. We have had at other times special collections and projects from other requests. We have provided furniture and clothing for our families and others who find themselves in a difficult situation. Food and gift cards for local stores are also provided to families. Our Anointing Masses and receptions are held twice a year. The Remembrance Mass and reception on November 2nd are under the direction of the Social Concerns Committee. We also plan Prayer Services for October, Month of the Holy Rosary and in May, Mary Queen of Heaven and Earth. We team with the Rosary Society for these prayer services. Our Living Rosary is a stronghold of prayer and currently we have 28 teams of 5. We cannot forget the Lenten Soup Suppers and Fish Fry (scheduled for April this year!). Every other year we plan a Garage Sale. Coming under the heading of Social Concerns are the Adult Funeral Team Servers and Parish Nurses for Health and Wellness; and Chair Yoga sessions. Most important is that we are available to assist our brothers and sisters in our parish, our town wherever there is a need. The Fair Trade Sale in November not only provides beautiful gifts and merchandise but we are assisting those in poorer countries who are not paid fairly and cannot provide for themselves and their families. We have this sale in connection with Catholic Relief Services. Whatever money is collected in any of these events is used to help others.

I personally am very grateful to all our parishioners for their contributions throughout the year whether it is through service and/or outright donations. All of this can only happen with the cooperation of the staff and all members of the Faith Community of Saint Aloysius Parish. I also work with the Seniors and the Rosary Society and lend support to the Catholic Daughters. Our Women’s Ministry has just completed their first year - more to follow. Most of all thank you to all the members of the Social Concerns Committee who are always there for any and all activities. We have a large committee and welcome new members. Just give me a call or send an e-mail if you are interested Sister Justine and the Social Concerns Committee jpintop@verizon.net 973-226-0209x37

THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM

Through Baptism, we become Children of God and

members of the household of faith. Children should be

baptized in the faith community to which their parents

belong, that is, the Parish in which they are registered

and active members. Call the rectory to make

arrangements. Parents are reminded that godparents

must have received the Sacrament of Confirmation and

are actively practicing their faith.

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION (Penance)

Saturday: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.; and after the 5:30 p.m.

Mass

SACRAMENT OF THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK

Please notify one of the parish priests in the event of

serious illness. Communal celebrations of the Anointing

will be held twice yearly.

SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE

Church law requires that a wedding should take place

in the parish to which either the bride or groom belong.

Arrangements should be made ideally one year in

advance of the proposed marriage.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

ARE YOU SOMEONE OR DO YOU KNOW

SOMEONE WHO:

Has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic?

Has a child over the age of seven who has not been

baptized?

Was baptized Catholic as a child, but has not

celebrated the Sacraments of Confirmation or

Eucharist?

We offer an opportunity to come together in a small

group to learn more about your faith.

Sessions focus on the teachings and experience of

Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the

Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist

during the Easter season. You are welcome to

participate in the process with your questions, your

insights and your faith story in a warm, accepting

setting. For information, please contact Sister Alice.
