St. Catharine Church
A Disappearing Breed
Thirty years ago I was making an observation that was true
back then, but has really come home to roost in 2016. We
were putting together a Confirmation program and there was a
debate about a service component. Some argued you couldn’t
legislate volunteerism by having a certain number of hours.
Others said if we don’t offer a model of service, we were going
to lose the concept altogether.
I must admit I was on the latter side, recognizing the arguments against. It seemed that parents were teaching children
to get their due and just pay for whatever they did. A couple of
years earlier, as a seminarian, I had volunteered at Bergen
Pines. It was an amazing network of people, without which,
the hospital would not have survived.
Today my fear is all around us. My friends in non-profit talk about
the paucity of people willing to give their time. Hospitals in the
area all write to me begging for some of our parishioners to serve
in a variety of roles in Bergen Regional, Hackensack and Valley.
High schools, even colleges, are trying to make this an element
of overall education. But once again it is hard to legislate.
I say all this in light of our Volunteer Appreciation Reception to be
held next Friday in Community Hall. Over a 120 of our many volunteers will gather together with our thankful pastoral staff so we
can recognize them. We are very fortunate that so many of you
help us carry out the work of the ministries that operate in our
parish. With only 2 priests and a small paid staff we could only
execute a fraction of the activities that take place without you.
Above all, I want to thank you from keeping the “volunteer” from
being a disappearing breed within St. Catharine Church. You
mean the world to us, and we hardly ever publicly or individually
thank you. We pray that this will continue, if not increase, going
forward. There is so much to be done and we need so much help.
Think about what you might be willing to do when the ministry
season starts up in earnest again in the fall. Some ministries
require a great more time than others, but there is truly something for everyone. I pray you will continue to enjoy this beautiful spring. And lastly, for all those who give of their talent and
time, a great big thank you!
Deacon Ordination of George Carbone
Long-time St. Catharine parishioner, George Carbone, is about
to complete his five-year formation program and will become a
deacon in June. We are very pleased that he is being assigned
to our parish. All are invited to his ordination and first mass.
The ordination will take place at noon on Saturday, June 4th at the
Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, 89 Ridge St, Newark.
There will be seating available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
His first mass will be at St. Catharine on Sunday, June 5th at
12 noon. A light reception will follow mass in Community
Hall. All are invited to attend.
Welcoming Mass
On Sunday, May 15th at the 10am Mass we will welcome
all new parishioners to our parish .
After Mass a reception will be held in Community Hall to allow
our new parishioners to meet the pastor, priests, and other
members of the parish. The reception is a rewarding experience as well as a fun time for the children as they nosh on
donuts, bagels, and juice. Pictures of the new parishioners will
be displayed in the Narthex. All parishioners are invited to
share in the fellowship.
New parishioners: Please call the rectory so we can
announce your names at the beginning of Mass.

Eucharistic Adoration
Come join us on First Friday, May 6th
“Eucharistic Adoration is an affirmation of our faith.
Through this vigil of prayer, we give witness to
our belief that God is truly dwelling with His people.
In it’s fullest essence, it is God and man
reaching out for each other, at the same time”
- Pope Benedict XVI
All are invited to the Ministry Center Chapel this Friday following
the 8am Mass for Exposition. Benediction at 11am.
“We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say but what God says to
us and through us. Jesus is always waiting for us in
silence. In that silence, He will listen to us; He will
speak to our souls. And there we will hear His Voice.”
- Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Our Annual Men’s Retreat at Loyola, Morristown is
scheduled for May 13th - 15th. Decide TODAY to join us

Sharing the Gift of Treasure
“…do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.”
John 14:27
Our limited human understanding cannot begin to understand
the immense power of God. Instead of trusting in God, we
think we can control every outcome. Do you want to make
God laugh? Tell Him your plans. The next time worry, anxiety
or fear creeps in, thank God for all He has given you and trust
He has a better plan for you.
Thank you for your generosity to St. Catharine!
