As always, the kids and I thank you for your support. JUDI AGNEW - Assumption Youth Minister A note from the Pastor Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, W e can live our Christian life in either one of two ways: 1. Maintaining a certain “routine”: reducing our involvement with religious activities and worship to a “minimum requirement”, so that our personal life may not be too much disturbed – in the end doing nothing wrong, always being nice and gentle to the others, yet minding our business and demanding others do their own. Or: 2. Allowing ourselves to be challenged, taking some risk in changing our habits and attitudes in regard to our sacramental and spiritual life when needed, and responding with humility to the stimuli we receive from the current events of our life with the attitude of a “servant of God” rather than a “master of one’s life”. In today’s reading from the Gospel of Matthew we hear the well-known Parable of the Talents. One servant receives only one talent, with the task to invest it in order to produce some revenue. But he is afraid to take any risk: he secures the little he has received without making it fruitful for himself and his master. Just like the many who live their faith in an apathetic way – doing nothing objectively wrong perhaps, yet not responding to any of the promptings of the Holy Spirit. I remember being one of those people once: the minimum amount of faith I had received made me believe in the existence of God, but had no concrete and effective impact to my life, as I considered myself the only one in charge of it. I used also to see myself not a very talented man, until I learnt that the “talents” Jesus speaks about are not merely “human qualities” or “skills” – either connatural or acquired throughout our life. Talents represent rather all the “words” that come forth from the mouth of God: the words we hear when we proclaim Scripture at Mass; the words that are summarized in the teachings of the Church (in the Catechism, in the Magisterium); the words that are pronounced by ordained ministers especially when they celebrate the sacraments. We are urged today not to remain indifferent to the talents – the words – the Lord provides for us through the Church. This is an ever more urgent task as we face oppositions and challenges to our faith from the entire “secular” mentality. We can start by a very simple exercise, namely, asking ourselves how the Word of God we hear today speaks to us (individually) in our present life situation: What is God trying to tell me today? What is He calling me to? How can I respond? What kind of a challenge should I accept? Maybe, considering having another child? Perhaps, involving myself in some parish ministry? Finding new ways to deepen my spiritual life? The parable of the talents invites us to become “worthy servants”: children of God who strive daily to know what their master wants them to be and do, and who accept the challenge to break their routine – their mentality, their views, their plans … – by responding generously and courageously to the Lord’s call to discipleship and faithful observance of His Word. With my blessing, Fr. Paolo JUBILEE ChurchEVENTS of the Assumption November 16, 2014 Fellow Parishioners, Are you being called to Cornerstone? Why not take a break and treat yourself to the gift of Cornerstone? Our 7th Women’s Cornerstone retreat will happen here at Assumption on February 20th and 21st. This retreat is an opportunity for women to start, or renew a relationship with Christ. This 26 hour retreat is run by fellow women parishioners that have already made Cornerstone. We invite all women to give yourself this wonderful gift. Registration forms are in brochures located in the back of the church and in the Rectory. If you have any questions, please e-mail: [email protected], or call Nancy at 201-664-1424. ROSARY SOCIETY - IMPORTANT Our Mass for the November meeting will be said for all the deceased Rosarians. Please make an effort to be there by 7:30 p.m., Monday, November 17, 2014. Also, we will be taking and paying for our Christmas Party reservations, since this is the last meeting before that event. I urge all Rosarians to be at the meeting. THANK YOU.

NEED CASH FOR THE HOLIDAYS? Today, November 16th, Assumption Church has invited, “American Gold & Diamond Buyers” to come here & conduct a precious metal buy-back. You can turn in all your old un-wanted gold, silver, diamonds, jewelry, coins & so on, for money, condition doesn’t matter. Everyone can use some extra cash during the holidays, so check around your house for any hidden treasures. The event will run from 9 a.m. till 2 p.m. in the Assumption School Cafeteria. Stop by TODAY, November 16th. If you have any questions, please call our host Cathy at 973-6501821, or Brian Beahm at 1-551-404-4965. BENEATH THE STARS Our next and 4th Jubilee event will take place November 30th at 4:00 p.m. right here in our Church. It will be the second concert in our Concert Series…Beneath the Stars. Dr. Lisa Lutter, who has won awards world-wide with her award winning Ramapo Chorale Group, will treat us to a seasonal concert that will “touch your spirit and lift you to the highest heavens”. Joining her, under her direction will be her Ramapo Chorale Group of over 40 singers, accompanied by pianist Itay Goren, who captivated us a few weeks ago with his solo performance. Save the date, invite your family and friends and join us for another extraordinary show. Brian Beahm-Jubilee Chairman A couple of years ago, we at Assumption got together as a parish and planned a fantastic idea that we had never done before. We were going to work together to plan and put on a fundraiser that would have been a huge financial gain to our parish and show that we were able to work as a family. That fundraiser was the Carnival. A lot of ground work was completed, we had an abundance of people to help run the event, and everything was set. Unfortunately, the school closed and the Archdiocese asked us to postpone the Carnival until a later date. Well, the time and the need for the Carnival has come again! This can be a great Jubilee event to help us celebrate our parish’s 50th year anniversary. The financial benefit couldn’t come at a better time too. We have seen some major expenditures during the past year. Our heating and air conditioning units have been very costly. Though your very generous donations have helped soften the blow, they have fallen short of what was needed. Not only will the Carnival help bring much needed revenue to our Church, it will bring us together as a family to help achieve a common goal. We propose to hold the Carnival around the same time when we last planned it, the middle of July. While there is no perfect time to put on any event, this date had seemed to work well with the surrounding circumstances. May and June are filled with graduations, communions, confirmations and our grounds are still being used by the Pre-school. The timing of other surrounding towns that put on carnivals, all of this has to be taken into consideration. All the ground work has been laid from the previous attempt to put on the Carnival. What the parish needs now is a renewed commitment from her parishioners, that they can come together and work as a family and put on a Carnival. Over the 4 or 5 days we would be putting on the Carnival, we would need 50-60 people to split the different shifts. There are many different duties that need to be performed during the course of the event. Some are sitting, some are standing , and others are walking around. We will try to accommodate any restrictions you might have, so you are able to help out. We need to know now if you are able to help! Unless we know we will reach the needed volunteers, there would be no sense to continue the planning of the Carnival! All this has to be done 5-6 months in advance. This Carnival can only happen if our Assumption parishioners are committed to see our parish flourish and be successful. Without her parishioners, our church is nothing but an empty building. You are the ones that make Assumption Church what she is today. You alone have the ability to see her continue to be the guiding light of your faith. A place to shed your fears and take in God’s love and wisdom, and a place to pray. It’s all up to you, as parishioners of Our Lady of Assumption. Please contact me and give me your commitment that you will help put on the Carnival, or if you have any questions. My contact information is Brian Beahm, Jubilee Chairman/Parish Development Chairman, [email protected],or my cell at 551-404-4965. Thank-you and God Bless!
