Charlie & Joan Fiumefreddo
Each year there are special anniversary Masses celebrated at
the Cathedral Basilica of the
Sacred Heart to honor the
Sacrament of Marriage.
Joan Kuczynski is a true
“Daughter of Mt. Carmel.” Baptized here, she
received her Primary and Religious
education within our halls.
On June 18, 1955, she married the “love of her life”,
Charlie Fiumefreddo (a young man from
St. Vincent’s.) They began to raise their family in
Bayonne and took an active life within the Parish.
As good parents, Charlie was active in Boy Scouts
and Joan in the Mt. Carmel grammar school PTA.
They were also part of the flourishing social life of
the Parish: Joan in the Altar Society and the
Mt. Carmel Guild. Charlie in the Mt. Carmel Lyceum,
where he is a “50 Year Member.” They were an
active part of the 75th Anniversary Committee.
They had a warm relationship with Fr. Ted Zaorski.
He asked Joan to serve for a time as the
parish secretary.
They continued a close relationship with the next
Pastor, Msgr. Marjanczyk (traveling with him to Italy
and a private audience with St. John Paul II.)
Even after they left Bayonne, they never forgot their
roots at Mt. Carmel. Over the decades they have
generously donated to Mt. Carmel and were part of
many renovations and improvement projects.

DOROCZNY APEL ARCYBISKUPA
Powoli nadchodzi czas Wielkiego Postu, który
sprzyja czynieniu dzieł miłosierdzia. Poprzez wsparcie
Apelu Arcybiskupa, możemy uczynić jeden krok w wypełnianiu naszego postanowienia wielkopostnego, a zarazem przyczynić się do wsparcia finansowego wszelkich programów prowadzonych przez Archidiecezję
Newark: seminaria, organizacje wspierające potrzebujących i wiele innych.
Nie musisz ofiarować wiele, ale jeżeli każdy
parafianin wspomoże to dzieło, będziemy zdolni odpowiedzieć na apel Arcybiskupa.
ŚWIĘTY WALENTY, BISKUP I MĘCZENNIK,
PATRON ZAKOCHANYCH
Walenty był biskupem
Terni w Umbrii. Żył w III w. i był
kapłanem rzymskim. Tam w czasie
prześladowań, wraz ze św. Mariuszem i krewnymi, asystował
męczennikom w czasie ich procesów i egzekucji. Wkrótce sam
został pojmany i doprowadzony
do prefekta Rzymu, który
przeprowadził rutynowy proces
polegający na wymuszaniu odstępstwa od Chrystusa.
W tym celu kazał użyć kijów. Ponieważ nie przyniosło
to oczekiwanego rezultatu, kazał ściąć Walentego.
Stało się to 14 lutego 269 roku. Jego grób już w IV w.
otoczony był szczególną czcią. Nad grobem papież Juliusz I wystawił bazylikę pod wezwaniem św. Walentego. W ciągu średniowiecza kult Walentego objął całą
niemal Europę.W średniowieczu na terenie niemieckim
Święty był wzywany jako orędownik podczas ciężkich
chorób, zwłaszcza nerwowych i epilepsji. Na Zachodzie,
zwłaszcza w Anglii i Stanach Zjednoczonych, czczono
św. Walentego jako patrona zakochanych. W związku z
tym dzień 14 lutego stał się okazją do obdarowywania
się drobnymi upominkami
