Spirituality Committee Presents
A Spirituality and Health Lecture On
Yoga
November 10th at 4:00 PM
St. Margaret's Hall
The spirituality committee will sponsor a program on yoga as a continuation of its presentations on spirituality and health. Yoga enhances physical fitness and leads to a calming of the mind. It Improves memory function and processing speed and has been found to improve quality of life and reduce stress which is a leading cause of illness. Because of the multiple health benefits of yoga the World Health Organization declared June 21st as International Yoga Day. Hope you can fit this into your busy schedules. Jack Harrigan M.D.
3 513 St. Catharine—St. Margaret Parish Family
I read the New York Times everyday. I never miss it. I
also read the Wall Street Journal, and other newspapers
online..… Every day……. Some people think I am a
masochist. I guess I’m a “newsaholic”. Eventually they
will find a cure or a pill that I can take.
I have discovered over the years that I am not the only
Catholic who reads the New York Times. I have some
good company. Archbishop Dolan of New York
apparently reads it too. I remember reading some time
back that Archbishop Dolan has had it with the Catholic-
bashing New York Times.
This article pointed out that Arch bishop Dolan is known
for his easy going and even -tempered demeanor – but he
took to his blog to blast the paper for “gushing” reviews it
gave to an art exhibit that criticized the late Cardinal
O’Connor, and a play that makes fun of nuns.
“The common, casual way the New York Times offends
Catholic sensitivity is something that they would never
think of doing – rightly so- to Jewish, Black, Islamic or
gay communities”, he wrote.
At that time the Times had heartily recommended an art
exhibit in the West Village by the AIDS activist group
ACT UP that features a blasphemous picture of the late
Cardinal O’Connor, and a play in the East Village called
“The Divine Sister” that was described as “fresh and
funny” by the Times. Archbishop Dolan accused the
paper of “promoting cheap laughs at the expense of a
bigoted view of the most noble women around” …“These
are nuns, mocked and held up for snickering,” the
Archbishop wrote.
The Times responded that it covers cultural events even if
some may disagree with the content. But Archbishop
Dolan wasn’t having any of it. “If they are going to say,
‘Oh, No, we do that all the time’, I’m going to say, show
me when you do it to the Islamic community, to the
African American community, to the gay community.
They don’t do it because they know it is out of bounds.”
I was reminded of this last week when those WIKI Leaks
emails from one of the Presidential campaigns was
published, denigrating and deploring the position of the
Catholic Church and observant Catholics on an array of
positions.
It was comforting to recall that the Archbishop of New
York sent a message that he is not prepared to sit around
quietly when a powerful institution like the New York
Times feels that it can disrespect the Catholic Church in a
way that it would not dare to do to other prominent
groups.
Mass of Remembrance All Souls Day
You are invited to join in a Mass of Remembrance with those who have lost a loved one during the past year. A reading of the names of the deceased, a candle to be lit for each and special prayers will be included during the 5:00 PM Mass at St. Catharine Church on Saturday, November 5th. By your attendance you will show support for those who are going through a difficult time and will reinforce the feeling of community and solidarity here at St. Catharine-St. Margaret Parish.
Share the Joyful Gospel on Catholic Radio 89.3 FM (home or in the car) or online at www.domesticchurchmedia.org.
Whether perceived or real, the alleged anti-Catholic bias
of the New York Times is one reason why some of my
friends criticize me for reading that paper every day.
Some of the people who criticize me for reading the New
York Times admit that they do not read any newspaper.
Some of them form their opinions and their views largely
from listening to, and watching the cable news channels. I
guess they would contend that it is preferable to surround
and immerse yourself with people and views that are
similar to your own rather than to open your self to the
dissonance of points of view that are not consistent with
your own world view.
That is why, I am glad to note that Archbishop Dolan
reads the New York Times. I guess that he, like myself,
believes that it is important to keep your friends close, but
it is even more important to keep your enemies close – not
that I am suggesting that that newspaper is our enemy, but
just that it often presents a point of view and a way of
looking at things that is diametrically different from the
way we see things.
Fr Harry Cullen
Retraction!!!
Last week in the welcome to Fr. Martin to the parish, I made an
error that I have suffered for all week. I said that Fr Martin
was from Co Monaghan in Northern Ireland. If I had said that
he was from the northern part of Ireland (Ulster) I would have
been fine, but I erroneously placed him in the “occupied” part of
Ireland known as Northern Ireland. For the record, Fr Martin
is from Co Monaghan which is part of the Irish Republic.

We are not able to take requests over the telephone. Forms are
available in the churches and in the rectory office.
Please be patient. Last year there were hundreds of requests
during the first week.
Please keep in mind that we also can accept any number of
UNANNOUNCED Mass intentions, although we cannot tell
you when or where the Mass will be said and there will be no
announcement in the bulletin for this Mass.
*You can also enroll your deceased loved one in the Memorial
Mass Society.
The Mass book will be opened as usual on Monday, November 7th at the RECTORY reception desk.

A Dedication Ceremony on Behalf of
the Unborn
Next Sunday, Oct. 30 at 4:00PM you are all invited to take part in a very meaningful and different type of dedication ceremony here at St. Catharine Church. It is in honor of the Unborn. Unborn, as in those unfortunate souls whose lives have been intentionally terminated before birth. Intentionally aborted while still in the womb.
The dedication ceremony will include a blessing of the beautiful new granite memorial stone recently installed (see photo). Carved into the stone are the Lord's words from Jeremiah: "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I consecrated you." There will also be prayers confirming that, as God's creation, these human beings, small as they may be, are entitled to life. And that we will continue to fight the evil act that snuffs out the lives of these defenseless before they take their first breath or ever see the light of day.
The ceremony will be simple and solemn, and include singing by some of the students from St. Catharine School. It will take place outside, across from St. Catharine Church at the far end of the Lady of Fatima shrine area. Dear people, please mark your calendars: Sunday, Oct. 30 at 4:00PM. And join us for this special ceremony. You'll be glad you did.
The monument project and dedication ceremony has been coordinated by the Mary's Child Pro-Life Ministry represented by these six (6) parishes: St. Catharine-St. Margaret, St. Denis, St. Elizabeth, Holy Innocents, St Marks and St. Rose.
Urgent! HELP WANTED Urgent!
Are you searching for meaningful volunteer work for the
benefit of your parish? Perhaps you have a background in
writing and/or public relations and/or marketing. Maybe
you are retired? Maybe you have some time to spare that
could be used immersing yourself in the exciting life of St.
Catharine-St. Margaret Parish and/or St. Catharine
School? We have had some very exciting events in our
parish and in our school in recent times that deserve to be
highlighted in the local press and elsewhere. Sadly, we do
not always have someone we can reliably look to represent
us and let the world know that we are members of a world
class parish and school. Like to give it a shot? Or like to
just discuss it? Call Fr Cullen at the rectory (732 449
5765) or email at [email protected]
