information will be sent to you. The attendance at Pre-Cana or an
Engaged Encounter Weekend is required. One must be a registered

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.

Retirement Collection for Diocesan Clergy
The special collection next weekend, March 5-6, is for
the Fund for our Retired Diocesan Priests. This
collection is exclusively for the benefit of our retired
priests, as well as, our active priests upon their
retirement. May your generosity to this collection reflect
your gratitude and love for our retired priests who have
been dedicated and faithful to their priesthood over the
years. Let’s not forget.
“He said to the gardener, ‘For
three years now I have come in
search of fruit on this fig tree but
have found none.’” (Luke 13:7)
Are you like the barren fig tree? How will you respond
when God asks you what you have done with all the gifts
He has given you? Remember, not only are we called to
be generous, we are called to develop and nurture our
gifts and return with increase. Glittery holiday ads can
blind us to our stewardship values and distort our needs
and wants. It is important that during this season we
remember that each of us also has the need to give back
to God and to those that are in need.

MEDITATION FOR
February 28, 2016
Every moment of our lives can
be holy, as God is ever at work
in our lives.
Too many people think the
experience Moses had was a
once-in-a-lifetime event. The
truth is that every moment is a
holy moment, as God is always
at work in our lives. The
challenge is to continue to
grow in our faith and love for
the Lord, so that we may
recognize the many and varied ways He is present with
us. If we do this, we cooperate with the Lord’s grace and
help build up His kingdom on earth.
The first reading from Exodus recalls God revealing
Himself and speaking to Moses from a burning bush in
the desert. The second reading reminds us not to grumble
like our ancestors in the desert did. In the Gospel, Jesus
tells the parable of the fig tree and we learn that God
offers us many chances to repent and bear fruit.

Dear Parishioners:
Recently I received a special invitation from His Eminence Stanislaus Cardinal Dziwisz to
attend a special meeting in Krakow from April 19-22, 2016 regarding an international board
for the Saint John Paul II foundation. The invitation was sent to twenty-five people and I was
chosen because of my devotion to this Saint from Krakow. I was touched that His Eminence
reached out to me to be part of this exciting new chapter. The Cardinal is personally going to
present a special retreat on Saint John Paul II from his own experiences of living and working
with this Saint. Unfortunately my niece is making her Confirmation on April 20, 2016 at Saint
Mary of the Lakes in Medford, New Jersey, and I am her sponsor, so I had to decline the
invitation.
However, one door may close and the Lord opens another. I will be traveling to Krakow,
Poland from May 4 (the feast of Saint Florian) until May 11, 2016. His Grace, Archbishop
John J. Myers, the Archbishop of Newark, was invited by His Eminence Stanislaus Cardinal
Dziwisz to bless the special “American Chapel” in the Saint John Paul II Shrine. This chapel
is located in the upper Church of the newly built Shrine and contains the papal cassock that
Pope John Paul II wore the day he was shot in Saint Peter’s Square on May 13, 1981. The
Cardinal has a close relationship with Archbishop Myers and I was invited to attend this
solemn dedication of the American chapel. You may remember the Cardinal’s visit to our
parish on May 17, 2014 in honor of the canonization of Saint John Paul II and following the
Mass we hosted a wonderful Polish dinner. Many of you made generous gifts towards the
construction of the Saint John Paul II Shrine in Krakow. On the wall of the Chapel there will
be a special plaque with the name of our parish. The Archbishop and Cardinal will dedicate the
chapel on Saturday evening May 7th at a Solemn Mass of Thanksgiving. On Sunday, May 8th,
the traditional feast of Saint Stanislaus who’s body in enshrined in a special reliquary above
the main altar of the Cathedral of Krakow, there will be a solemn procession through the
streets of Krakow with all the Canons, His Grace Archbishop Myers, and Cardinal Dziwisz.
As a Canon of St. Florian Basilica I will be taking part in the procession along with my brother
and good friend the Very Reverend Canon Miroslaw Krol of St. Theresa’s parish in Linden.
Pope Francis will be dedicating the Shrine of Saint John Paul II in July 2016 while attending
World Youth Day in Krakow. Father Edmund Luciano and our seminarian will be attending
World Youth Day along with other young adults from our Diocese.
Since I will be attending this pilgrimage with Canon Krol, His Eminence has asked the
President of the Canons of Saint Florian Basilica to convene a special meeting of the Canons
followed by a grand dinner! This will be a joyous occasion to relive the wonderful memories
of my installation that took place back in November. I look forward to spending time in prayer
in the Basilica of Saint Florian where Father Karol Wojtyla ministered as a young priest! I also
look forward to spending time relaxing with my brother priests, Father Manny and Father
Gerald who will also be traveling with me. Upon my return I look forward to presiding over
the Sacrament of Confirmation for our candidates on Friday, May 13th, the Feast of Our Lady
of Fatima.
I don’t want you to think that I have lost my love for Rome so from June 28 to July 5, 2016, I
will be in Rome to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of my friends Patricia and Mark Maher on
June 29th, their actual anniversary. I married them on that date 25 years ago at Saint Michael’s
Church in Union. The date of June 29th is significant because it is the Feast of Saint Peter and
Paul and on this feast, Pope Francis will bestow the “pallium” to the new Archbishops of the
world to show their unity with the Successor of Saint Peter. Through the kindness of the
Prefect of the Papal Household we were able to obtain tickets to attend the Pallium Mass
celebrated by Pope Francis.
Father Edmund Luciano will be traveling with us and I was able to get us accommodations at
the Domus Sanctae Marthae inside the Vatican where Pope Francis lives. I also arranged for
Father Edmund to be the main celebrant for Mass at the Tomb of Saint Peter (the Clementine
Chapel) on Saturday, July 2 (First Saturday dedicated to Our Lady), the Altar of Saint John
Paul II on July 1st, which is the First Friday of the month and is a grace from Saint John Paul II
for Father Edmund because of his great devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Father Luciano
will also be the main celebrant at the Altar of Saint John XXIII on Sunday, July 3. The Vatican
has approved my request and has given special permission to celebrate Mass in the private
chapel of the Immaculate Conception in Saint Peter’s Basilica on July 4th. To celebrate Mass
in the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception is a grace since she is the patroness of the United
States.
So be assured of your remembrance in my prayers and Masses on my pilgrimage to Krakow in
May and Rome in June! I remain,
In the Peace of Christ,
Very Reverend Canon Robert G. Lynam, KCHS
Pastor
Canon of St. Florian Basilica

From His Wounded Side We Were Born
This is the time of year when we begin to look forward
to warmer weather and spring vacations. It is also the
time of year when we pause to see where we’ve been
and where we should be going. It is the time to
recommit ourselves to the Lord.
During Lent, starting on Ash Wednesday, February 10,
2016, by the cross of St. Lucy you will notice a basket
with decorated index cards. Listed on each card is a
suggestion of a necessary item to be purchased for an
organization that helps those in need. These items will
be collected before all the weekend Masses on,
February 27/28, and March 5/6. This is our way as a
parish to reach out to others through “almsgiving”, one
of the spiritual blessings of our Lenten journey. All
donations need to be in by March 6. Anything
received after that date will be given to our Food Pantry.
As St. Theresa of Avila said: “We should not attach
much value to what we have given God, since we shall
receive for the little we have bestowed upon Him much
more in this life and in the next.”
CHRISM MASS MONDAY, MARCH 21, 2016
CATHEDRAL OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI,
METUCHEN
On Monday, March 21, 2016 Bishop Paul G. Bootkoski
will celebrate the Chrism Mass with the priests of the
Diocese. At this Mass, the Bishop will bless the Holy
Oils which each parish receives for the rites of anointing.
Saint Ambrose (340-398) began this custom—which we
now call the Chrism Mass—in his Cathedral in Milan.
These Holy Oils, which are used to sanctify the Faithful,
have been channels of holiness for centuries! The Oil of
Catechumens is used to anoint the chest of infants and
hands of adults before their Baptism; the Oil of the Sick
is used on the forehead and hands of the infirm in the
Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick; and Sacred
Chrism is used to anoint the head of a bishop at his
ordination, and the altar and walls of new churches. At
the Mass, all priests make a Renewal of Commitment to
Priestly Service, recommitting themselves to their Bishop
and to their ministry to God and His People; the Bishop
and all Priests then ask the people for a pledge if their
prayerful support. All are strongly encouraged to join in
the ancient, grace-filled Chrism Mass at the Cathedral of
St. Francis of Assisi in Metuchen at 7:30 pm.
The following organizations are helped by your
donations:
Rape Crisis Center, St. Augustine Food Pantry, Catholic
Charities Connection Program, Residents of Rosalie
Hall, New Brunswick St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry,
South Brunswick Food Pantry, The Center for Great
Expectations, Interfaith Hospitality Network of
Somerset County, Residents of Kenmare High School.

Dear Father Bob,
Thank you so much for donating money to help
make my dream to go to Ecuador become a reality.
It is because of your generosity that I just embarked
on the most incredible journey in Arbolito, Ecuador
through the Rostro de Cristo foundation. My
experience here changed everything for me: the way
I see things, how I want to live my life, my passion
to grow further in my faith, to live more simply, and
the desire to build more genuine relationships with
the people around me.
We never truly know God’s plan for us, and I felt
that as I sat in a place I never thought I would come
to, but knowing that God led me here. This week
taught me to see God in all things. As I walked
through sector 4 of Arbolito, surrounded by cane
houses, dirt roads, children playing soccer on the
rocky, dirt road without shoes, everything stopped
and there I was, standing in the middle of poverty in
its most raw form. It was breathtaking. It was a
moment that stopped me in my tracks and made me
ask myself questions. I’ll probably never know the
answers to because I’m not sure if there are answers.
It is impossible to summarize my week in a few sentences because there is no sentence that would do it justice.
This week, I learned what it is like to live in poverty, living in the town exactly as they live and only living on
2 dollars a day to eat, just as they do. It changed my life and it ruined me for the good. I am going to tell
everyone what I have seen and learned because we all need to work together to solve these injustices that
people face every day. I am committing myself to serving others. To summarize my week I will say to you:
this was the hardest thing I have ever done, but also the best thing.
I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. You are in my prayers and my heart.
Much Love and Gratitude,
Emily Baumley

2015 Bishop’s Annual Appeal
February 27-28
How do we, as Catholics know if our voting habits align
with Church teachings and the Gospel message? And
how can we come to better understand why we believe
what we say we believe? For busy Catholics who want
clear, concise and focused answers, the Diocese of
Metuchen’s public policy newsletter, Faith in Action, is
the answer.
Your gift to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal helps to make
this quarterly online publication available to all.
