Dear Parishioners,
As the Holy Father visits our area this week, I am reminded of
his call for all Catholic parishes to be transformed into “islands
of mercy”, places where God’s love is made visible to the
surrounding community. Immaculate Conception is blessed
with many ministries which help to ensure that God’s presence
is indeed made visible locally; two of these ministries were
especially active over the summer. The Pastoral Council is
sponsoring a reception after all Sunday Masses please stop by
the portico for a cup of coffee and introduce yourself to the
council members; they are always interested in hearing your
thoughts and ideas regarding our parish.
The Finance Council does an excellent job ensuring that we
continue to be good stewards of the funds entrusted to us. As
you have probably noticed over the past year, whether it’s the
bell tower or the air conditioning system, significant expenses
are part of parish life, and your weekly contributions are both
essential and deeply appreciated. Finance Council members
will be at the reception to introduce a new online giving
program offered through NCS Services. We chose to partner
with NCS after an extensive search – their platform is
convenient and secure, and offers you complete flexibility over
your giving schedule as well as full encryption of your
financial information. I encourage you to learn more about egiving and to prayerfully consider signing up for this exciting
new form of stewardship. We already have more than 50
families signed up on the new platform and the reviews have
been extremely positive. As always, thank you for your
continued generosity!
By now, the World Meeting of Families is in full swing in
Philadelphia with Pope Francis. Following pastoral visits to
Washington, D.C., and to New York City, the final stop is
Philadelphia to attend and participate in the World Meeting of
Families. The WMF is an event which is held every 3 years in
a different part of the world. Three years ago, it was held in
Milan, Italy, with Pope Benedict XVI. It’s main goal is to
strengthen the bonds of unity within the family structure. The
closing event of the World Meeting of Families with be the
Mass celebrated by Pope Francis at 4:00pm Sunday
afternoon. Please watch it and listen to his message, if you
can, watch it with your family. Pray with the Holy Father
during this special Mass in the comfort of your own home. It
promises to be a truly holy and fruitful experience, whether
live in Philadelphia or in the front of your television.
Next Sunday is October 4th, we will once again have the
blessing of animals on the portico of the church at 1:30pm.
Please bring your pet to receive this special blessing in honor
of St. Francis of Assisi. Also, next Sunday is the 20th
anniversary of the visit of St. Pope John Paul II to our
cathedral in Newark. A special prayer service will be
celebrated at 6:00pm to commemorate his visit at the
Cathedral Basilica.
This weekend we welcome back to our parish the Little
Sisters of the Poor. Their work and ministry in caring for the
poor and infirm is such a great blessing to so many whom
they care for and their families. Please be as generous as your
means will allow in supporting their ministry.
Sincerely in the Lord,
Fr. Joe
Charity is the form, mover, mother and root of all the virtues.”

I.C. CATECHETICAL MINISTRY
JANET NATALE, PARISH CATECHETICAL LEADER
[email protected] | 973-744-5650 ext. 118
I am feeling extremely grateful to all of the parents, children,
catechists and aides who made last weekend’s Catechetical
Sunday such a success. There are of course a few kinks to be
worked out, but we will make our way together.
As I said in my remarks in our parent meeting, the priests and
the staff at Immaculate Conception Parish are your partners in
faith. As we sang in our opening hymn: “We are pilgrims on a
journey, we are travelers on the road, we are here to help each
other walk the mile and bear the load.” We are here to walk
this journey of faith with you and your family. Please reach out
to me or any of the Parish Pastoral Staff with any concerns you
may have. Be assured that you will find a friendly, listening ear.
Should you wish to set up a “face to face” meeting with me,
please do not hesitate to call or email me at the Catechetical Office. A “sign up genius” has also been set up for that purpose,
and the meeting times will be regularly updated. The link is:
http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f044aadaa29a1f58-meet
I also remind you of important upcoming dates; please mark
them in your calendars: (Meetings held in St. Kateri Room in
School Building.)

members who are not part of our parish are
able to share in the magnificent beauty of
our church through the evangelizing nature
of music. This year’s events are perhaps
the most diverse offering ever presented in the series with everything from large choirs to vocal jazz, short programs featuring
young people in our community as well as a “Carnegie Hall” level
performance of the Messiah the Sunday just prior to Christmas. Please see the parish website (www.mtcimmaculate.org/?

September 27, 2015
“Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because
you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you,
will surely not lose his reward.” —Mark 9:41
Does your life reflect the life of Jesus? Remember, we were
made in His image. We tend to forget this. When others see you,
do they see the face of Jesus? When you look at others, do you
see the face of Jesus in them?
