FROM THE PASTOR
My dear brothers and sisters, the Prophet Isaiah tells us today: “Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the
homeless; clothe the naked when you see them . . . Then your light shall break forth like the dawn”. We are called to be disciples
who bring the light of Christ’s love and mercy to the world. There are many ways that we can do this. We can do this by giving
of our time to those who are in need whether it be spiritually in need, physically in need or emotionally in need. We can be that
light to help others if we place our trust in God and allow his Spirit to work through us.
We can also do this by our support of the Church. By our generosity to the work of the Church we can help support those who are
bringing the healing that people need. We can provide help whether here in our parish by our weekly contributions to support the
work of our parish or by our support of the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. Each of us has special gifts and talents to offer. Whether
it’s with our prayers offered for others, our physical time and activities, or by our financial support we all can make a difference.
The New and Revised OLGC Web site
Hallelujah, our revised “OLGC Web site” is up and running. We were able to launch it this past week. We think you will find
it to be well done, attractive and informative. We still have some fine tuning to do on it, but it is looking good. You can find
our bulletin on it, schedules and Religious Education news and parish activities. If you do spot something that needs correcting
e-mail us about it. We want to thank Susannah Devine of Devine Design for giving us this wonderful new Web site. So check
us out at www.olgcwt.org.
Parish Calendar Raffle
We hope that each of you have sold as many Raffle Tickets as you can for our parish “Calendar Raffle”. It is not too late to
join the Raffle there are still almost three months to go. You will be eligible for all the prizes from the moment the tickets are
handed in. Remember the raffle runs until April 30th!! Your odds of winning are better than the Lottery. As we have said it is
our fervent prayer that everyone will make an effort to sell all of the raffle chances. Our parish fundraising efforts are extremely
important in helping us to make up the deficit from our weekly collections.
Finally, I will be getting away with my classmate Fr. Michael Santoro this week. We are setting sail on Sunday heading toward
Bahamas. Pray for us because we are sailing on the Royal Caribbean Ship, “The Explorer of the Seas” which had problems
with sickness on board two weeks ago. We are hoping for fair weather and smooth sailing. We hope it will be nice and warm
for some needed R& R. I hope to have guest columnist for next two weeks. In the meantime let us continue to pray for our
parish and for each other.
May God bless you,
Fr. Stephen Cinque

PARISH NEWS
AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD
PARISH FOOD COLLECTION - let’s not forget our food
pantry. There is still a great need for nonperishable food, paper products, personal
hygiene items, etc. And as always monetary
donations are accepted and turned into
Shoprite gift cards. The suggested donation
for the week of February 9th is Soups.
WORLD DAY FOR CONSECRATED LIFE - This Sunday
in our Cathedral Basilica we celebrate World Day for
Consecrated Life. We recognize and give thanks for those who
have consecrated their lives to God and the Church through the
vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Some join a religious
congregation or a secular institute. Others remain single and
make a profession to God through the local bishop and are
known as consecrated virgins. The consecrated life is one way
that men and women live out their baptismal commitment as
followers of Jesus.
“SHARE YOUR TALENTS AND IDEAS
WITH OTHERS AT OLGC” - The OLGC community
invites you to join the parish as we strive to grow as a
Catholic family. The Pastoral Council is reaching out to all
parishioners to help them assist our church by contributing
with their own knowledge, experiences, and ideas. The goal
is to utilize and discuss the talents and opinions of other
OLGC members in order to make our parish an even better
place to grow and enjoy in various ways. Please contact
George Toole at 201-954-5286, or leave your suggestions
and information at the rectory.
CASINO NIGHT - Plans are underway for our Casino Night
scheduled for Saturday, March 29th. We are currently
looking for prizes to be either donated or discounted.
Nothing is too small (we can add them in
our baskets), too big (we will gladly
pick-up). Items such as unwanted gift
cards, gifts from the holidays or even
services from your business. We only
ask that they be new not used items.
Contact Claudia Carroll at 201-664-1679.
CONGRATULATIONS to this week’s winners of our
calendar raffle. February 1 - Mark Candeletti, February 2 Liz Marcinek, February 3 - Dave Smith, February 4 - Kasey
Finn, February 5 - Bruggy, February 6 - Justin Doyle.
Tickets are available for the remainder of the raffle which
runs until April 30th .
MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER - Want To Get Closer To The
One You Love? You can do that on a Worldwide Marriage
Encounter weekend! On a Marriage Encounter weekend
married couples can get away from job, kids, chores and phones
for 44 hours - and focus only on each other. If you would like
greater depth, growth and enrichment in your relationship,
you’ll like the difference a Worldwide Marriage Encounter
weekend can make! For more information contact Mike and
Eileen Morgan at 973-827-9696 or email
[email protected] or go to WWME.org Military
Families, are you getting ready to deploy? Is your family
trying to reconnect after deployment? Marriage Encounter
offers tools of communication that have kept many military
marriages strong and happy through out the ups and downs of
military service. Contact your local chaplain or call 1-877-6979963 ext 7.
STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS
‘Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 - The generosity of being a good steward of your
gifts has a positive effect on people and it is contagious! Good
works encourage more good works. Let your light shine! Be
careful to recognize that God is working through you and don’t
put yourself above the people you have been called to help.
PRAYER INTENTION FOR THE WEEK OF FEB. 9th
Let us pray this week for the safety of all those participating
in the “Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics” in Russia, the athletes
from around the world, their coaches and support personnel,
the people working at the Olympics and the fans traveling to
and from the Games and those entrusted with their
protection. May they all be kept safe from any terrorism and
violence at the “Olympic Games”
