Catching Up
The Baptism of the Lord
My recent bulletin articles were written awhile ago due to early
holiday printing deadlines. So this week, I want to catch up on
a few things from the recent past and talk about a few things
coming up in the near future.
First of all, I want to thank all those who have given so generously to the Living Stones campaign. To date we are just under $700,000 in pledges. If you are drawn to adding to our
total, knowing one half of all you give will come back to the
parish, it is not too late to pledge. Thank you for all you have
already done. In addition, we have received numerous letters
of thanks and appreciation from our Christmas giving program.
There are so many who have so little and you have put smiles
on many faces, including lots of children.
We have given out over 900 copies of Rediscover Jesus and a
good number of people have shared very positive feedback
about both the style and content of Kelly’s book. This Lent I
will be offering a 4 week series as a follow-up focusing on the
next step, after we have rediscovered Jesus, what do we do
about it? This Lenten series will start February 23rd and run for
four consecutive Tuesday evenings, more info will follow.
I would like to encourage you to join us this Wednesday,
January 13th for a program on the Year of Mercy. It will be
presented by George Carbone, who will be ordained a deacon
this spring, and myself, and will take place in Community Hall
at 7:30pm. We hope many will join us!
I also want to also emphasize that our Parish Anniversary
Brunch will take place following the 12 Noon Mass on January 24th. Please see the insert in this bulletin and RSVP soon.
We are now into the second weekend of our new Sunday
Mass schedule and we realize it will be a period of transition
until everyone is comfortable with the new times. Last weekend our Masses were lively and each Mass was a little more
populated. There is an energy that should be present at Mass,
and with more people in the pew this begins to happen more
and more. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
I believe we can continue to grow as a parish, especially in the
programs and ministries we offer. Suggestions and ideas are
more than welcome. You may use the suggestion box in the
narthex or please feel free to email or call me and we can discuss your ideas. It is only one month until Ash Wednesday,
with Easter late in March. Let us continue to discover Jesus
each and every day both in and out of church. I wish you
God’s blessings as we start 2016 together!
He saved us through the bath of rebirth
and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
Please Pray for the Recently Deceased
Assunta Barone, William Eichorn and Herman Suenholz
Our parish community extends its deepest
sympathy to the families on their loss.

Enter More Deeply Into
The Jubilee Year of Mercy
Please join us this Wednesday, Jan. 13th
at 7:30pm in Community Hall for an
evening of reflections on mercy by Fr.
Tom Wisniewski and George Carbone.
This Jubilee Year is only the 29th such

what this extraordinary Year of Mercy
is all about and how it can transform
us. As Pope Francis said, mercy “is a
wellspring of joy, serenity, and peace”.
All are welcome. For more information, please contact George
Carbone at [email protected] or 201-218-8555.
Family Promise – Can You Help?
St. Catharine is hosting Jan. 31 - Feb. 7 AND Feb. 21-28
Yes, this is a little different than past years! We are hosting
families in February this year instead of April and, while we are
hosting two weeks, they are not consecutive weeks.
There are MANY volunteer opportunities:
Evening volunteers, 7-9pm each evening
Overnight volunteer (you can sleep!)
Set Up – Sat & Sun, Jan 30 & Feb 20
Daily Cleaning ( @ 45 min each day)
Dinner each night for 15-20 people
Laundry – pick up Sun, Feb 7 & Feb 28
Cleanup – Sun morning, Feb 7 & Feb 28
Go to www.signupgenius.com to volunteer in any capacity.
At the top of the page, click “Find Signups” and then enter
[email protected] for the email of the creator. All Family
Promise volunteer signup openings will be listed. Sign up for
one or more opportunities. Not good with the computer but still
want to sign up? Want more information? Contact Pam Biggs
at [email protected] or call 201-670-8760.
All volunteers must be signed up in advance. While we understand that it’s sometimes difficult to know your schedule in
advance, it is imperative that we plan for the right number of
volunteers and also not overwhelm our guests with too many
people. After all, for these weeks in February, St. Catharine
will be home for our guests. Each time we enter the Ministry
Center that week as a volunteer, we are entering their home!
Please note that training will be required for all new volunteers
interacting with our guests. Training is less than 1 hour and there
will be a couple of times to choose from. Contact Pam at
[email protected] or call 201-670-8760.

to the volunteers who conducted the sale and to our parishioners
who supported it. In the ten years that St. Catharine has sponsored

Winter Bereavement Group
Special Mass & Support Group Meeting
'Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.'
A special mass & support group meeting for all who are affected
by the disease of alcoholism will take place at Church of St. Mary,
20 Legion Place in Closter on Saturday, Jan. 16th at 12noon.
Mass is offered for the support, healing and recovery of not
only the man/woman directly infected with the abuse of alcohol
or drugs, but also for anyone involved in the life of the alcoholic or drug addict. For information please call 201-768-7565.
When someone we love has been taken from us, we often find
ourselves dealing with change and transition. Many offer their
help, but do not always understand the loss we are feeling.
Bereavement support groups are one way to find support from
others who are going through the same process. We cannot
go around the grief process, over it, or under it. We need to go
through it; we need to be good to ourselves, putting balance
into our lives through prayer, reading, resting, relaxation and
work. Grief takes time. Unrealistic expectations undermine the
healing process.
The parishes of St. Catharine, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and St.
Gabriel are jointly sponsoring a Bereavement Support Group.
You need not be a parishioner to attend. The group will meet
on Thursday afternoons from 1-2:30pm and will run for
eight consecutive weeks beginning on January 28th and
ending on March 17th. Pre-registration is required. Please
contact Sr. Esther Falzone at 201-327-5663 x305 or Annette
Gallagher at 201-612-4660. All calls are confidential.
Faith and Grief Luncheon
Open to all faiths, Faith & Grief Luncheons are opportunities
for those mourning the loss of a loved one to gather together
and be strengthened through sharing, scripture, prayer, and
reflection. These gatherings are offered the third Wednesday
of the month and include a complimentary lunch. The next
luncheon is Wednesday, Jan. 20th from 12noon - 1pm at the
Christian Health Care Center Auditorium, 700 Mountain Ave.,
Wyckoff. Register at www.faithandgrief.org. Contact CHCC
Pastoral Care Dept. at 201-848-4264 for more info.

Sharing the Gift of Treasure
“John answered them all, ‘I baptize you with water;
but he who is mightier than I is coming…
he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit... ’”
- Luke 3:16
The Catholic Catechism states that “Jesus’ immersion in the
water is a sign for all human beings of the need to die to
themselves to do God’s will.” In other words, as baptized
Catholics there is only one gift that we need to give to Jesus –
the gift of ourselves. Once we surrender ourselves to God, we
will know in our hearts what God calls us to do.
Thank you for your generosity to St. Catharine!
