Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Msgr. T. Mark Condon
Bingo Volunteers . . . please!
A few weeks ago, I made a plea for new Bingo Volunteers. So far, there has
been li le or no response. I ask you to recall that the ongoing Bingo fundraiser is an
important part of maintaining the financial stability of our parish. I ask you to please
once again consider making an investment of your me in this effort. The demands for
your me and a en on are many but even a small investment of me toward this effort can make a big
difference in allevia ng the stress that is put upon a few members of our parish to maintain a very large
enterprise. Please give the request your prayerful considera on. Those who serve our parish by weekly
running our parish Bingo provide a very valuable service to our parish; they give the gi of themselves and
their me in their parish. Honestly, I don’t know what we would do without their faithful service in opera ng
this ongoing and weekly fundraiser. Those who serve the parish at Bingo are becoming a li le bit weary and
red because so much work falls to them and there is very li le assistance to be found. From me to me, I
have asked for volunteers to serve at Bingo; there are many ways to serve and to help this fundraising effort
con nue so that the good work of our parish con nues. I ask you, once again, to please consider serving in
this capacity. I understand that all of us can be re cent to make a heavy investment of me and effort when
there are so many other responsibili es that call for our me and effort. But please consider making a
commitment of two or three hours once a month to help our Bingo volunteers. The Bingo team serves quietly
and without much no ce, and I know that they don’t seek it, but I want to thank them for all that they do and
for their faithfulness that is much appreciated. Please consider making this contribu on that will cost a li le
bit of me but that will come back to you as a reward by mee ng others who are a part of our parish life and
are, incidentally, a lot of fun to be around. Thank you and God bless you for your goodness. Please call the
parish office if you are interested in volunteering in our Bingo efforts.
Second CollecƟon
The Maintenance CollecƟon
The Maintenance Collec on has been an important means for us to con nue repairs and upgrades to
our parish buildings. Though we have done a great deal to help bring the plan up to speed you can see the
need for many repairs that will need to be addressed in the future. One look at the terrace in the front of the
church is a case in point; thankfully the shrubbery covers most of the unsightly appearance of the terrace but
the shrubbery is masking the cosme c aspects of the structure – there is a more important structural aspect
to the terrace that will need to be addressed in the not too distant future. Addi onally, I men oned to you in
the past weeks that our bells need a significant faceli . The price tag – around $35,000; I know that is a he y
piece of change but I hope that we will be able to proceed with the repairs. The bells, real live bells and not
digital recordings are rare to find in a parish church and they are an important part of the patrimony of our
parish and we have the responsibility to pass them on to future genera ons in good repair so that they
con nue to remind us of God’s presence in our midst. For the sake of a recap regarding the bells: It has been
an ongoing process of failure and restart in our effort to restore all four bells to working order. Sadly, the
parts are no longer made for the outdated system which was installed in the early 1990’s. A new system, now
the size of a cell phone, as opposed to a console the size of an old stereo system, is the only solu on to the
problem. The fact that we have real bells, not digital that are projected through a speaker, is one of the great

treasures of the parish church. Their upkeep is important. Your generosity in the maintenance collec on will
help to bring them up to date and preserve them. Thank you, as always, for your generosity.
Vivere Christus Medal
CongratulaƟons, Sister Janice Jolin, SMIC
Last Sunday, The Most Reverend Arthur J. Serratelli, Bishop of Paterson,
awarded the Vivere Christus Medal to Sister Janice Jolin, SMIC. Sister Janice is a
familiar and well loved member of our parish family. Sister Janice is ac ve in our
Jus ce, Peace and Integrity of Crea on (JPIC) Commi ee and faithfully reminds
us of our Chris an responsibility to be aware of the needs of the poorest and
those who most need our love and compassion. This award to Sister Janice from Bishop Serratelli in the name
of the Diocese of Paterson is really an honor not only for Sister Janice but for all of the Missionary Sisters of
the Immaculate Concep on who do such faithful work in the name of Christ. Thank you Sister Janice and
Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Concep on for all of your faithful, loving service to the Lord and his
Church. Congratula ons Sister Janice and God bless you! Congratula ons to all of the JPIC Commi ee for
their successful Angola Fundraiser last weekend which raised funds for new desks and chairs for the school in
Angola. God bless you, as always, for your generosity.
Moving ahead with revisions to our ConfirmaƟon Program
As I reported to you last week, there will be significant changes to our Confirma on Program. As
always, I want to thank parents for entrus ng their young people to our parish for their prepara on for the
sacraments. It is a privilege to assist parents in their responsibility of handing on the faith to their children. I
also want to thank Ms. Trish Filiaci for her outstanding work with our young people in all aspects of our faith
forma on program. I don’t know what the final tally will be, but right now, it looks as if the parents of young
people in our parish are in favor of moving ahead which I requested from Bishop Serratelli and which he
graciously gave his approval for; I have not heard any comments opposed to the change as of this wri ng.
Earlier this month, I wrote to parents in our faith forma on classes where young people’s prepara on for
Confirma on would be most immediately impacted:
One of the most important ministries of our parish is our assistance to parents in the educa on of their
children in the faith; it is a privilege to share in the faith forma on of the young people of our parish. For
several years, it has been a source of concern that many of our young people do not seek the Sacrament of
Confirma on. A er considera on and discussion with some parents, faith forma on staff, and Bishop
Serratelli, I have sought to seek a means to interest more young people in a Sacrament so vital to their faith
that will strengthen them with the special strength of the Holy Spirit that is received at Confirma on.
Therefore, I wanted to let you know about a significant revision of our Faith Forma on Program that will,
with your support, take place in the upcoming year.
At my request, Bishop Serratelli has approved a pilot program for our parish, over a three year period,
which will provide for those in 8th grade to receive the Sacrament of Confirma on. The three year

Registration packets for all Faith Formation Programs
have been mailed out. If you did NOT receive a packet,
please contact Josephine Lyons ASAP at the ministry
center to have a packet mailed out to you, 973-256-5200.
Please note the deadlines for returning registration forms
as a late fee will be charged for registrations received
after the due date.
We Are in Need of Catechists!
Please consider volunteering as a catechist. Without an
appropriate number of catechists, we will not be able
to offer so many program options. You do NOT need
to be a formal educator to become a teacher of our faith.
The texts are NOT hard to follow. All catechists are
provided with materials and much support to facilitate the
lessons and activities to allow the children to successfully
learn the content appropriate for them. Our 7th and 8th
grade middle school program meets once per month as
does our Confirmation Program during the school year
and our two week Summer Program begins June 27th.
Once again, all catechists are provided with materials and
explicit outlines for the monthly lessons. It is the direct
result of so many who generously share their time in our
faith formation ministry that we are able to offer many
programs which continue to educate and strengthen the
faith of our youth, who will soon become the leaders of
our community. The adults who have been involved in
faith formation have been a wonderful example for
our children of what it means to volunteer time in
ministry, support and service to others, just as Jesus
teaches us to do as His disciples. Please contact
Trish Filiaci through e-mail at [email protected] or
at the Parish Ministry Center to learn about how to
become involved, 973-256-5200.
Confirmation Program
Please see the following list for possible ministry
opportunities that all students can become involved with:
Fr. English Food Pans
Please support the Fr. English Center and support a
family or two by making a meal for them to enjoy. Food
pans and recipes are available during each confirmation
session. All pans should be clearly marked with the meal
that it contains and they should be brought back to the
next month’s confirmation session FROZEN.
Altar Servers
This is an important ministry for our parish and your
support and involvement once per month is needed!
Please contact the Parish Ministry Center (973-256-5200)
if you are interested in becoming an altar server.
Lectors
Readers Wanted! We are in need of lectors to read once
per month during one of our liturgies. Please contact the
Parish Ministry Center (973-256-5200) if you are
interested in becoming a lector.

Our Music Ministry Needs You!

her after mass.
Faith Formation Assistants
Classroom Assistants are needed for our Summer Faith
Formation Program. Please contact Trish Filiaci if you

Community food bank dates have been set for this year.
It is a wonderful ministry and opportunity to work with
others to help feed the hungry. For more specific

A Family Perspective by Bud Ozar
Office of Family Life ~ Diocese of Paterson
The widow in today’s gospel was in deep trouble. Her
husband and her only son were dead. In that male
dominated society woman owned nothing and were
totally dependent on men for their livelihood. She would
be reduced to begging. Restoring her son to life, Jesus
also restored the woman to life.
Early-Stage Alzheimer’s Program
The Alzheimer’s Association is offering an education

provisional period will allow me to assess how our 8th grade students respond to their Sacramental
prepara on. This transi on will take place as follows:
•
Students who are in grades 9 and 10 during the 2013-2014 school year will prepare and receive
the sacrament of Confirma on together during the Spring of 2014. The date for ConfirmaƟon is

•
In order for students who are in grades 7 and 8 during the 2013-2014 school year to have 2 full
years of Confirma on prepara on, they will receive the sacrament of Confirma on together as
8th and 9th graders during the Spring of 2015.
•
Students who are in grade 6 during the 2013-2014 school year will begin a 2 year Confirma on
prepara on star ng in 7th grade and they will be the first “8th grade only” class to receive the
sacrament of Confirma on during the Spring of 2016.
If you have any ques ons, please contact Trish Filiaci through email: [email protected] or by cell phone:

At our baptism we were all anointed Priest, Prophet
and King, how do we live this? Especially when we
believe that every time we celebrate the Eucharist we
renew our Baptismal promises?
What does it mean to spurn the Lord and do evil in His
sight, and even when we know something is wrong why
do we continue with that behavior?
Take some time to discuss the age-old dilemma: Is
salvation gained through faith or works?
Those who love little are forgiven little while those who
show great love will receive much. In our world today
ripe with violence and war, who are those in our midst
that are still able to show great love?
The gospel tells us to forgive. How do we exercise
mercy and forgiveness toward those who may have
hurt our family, church or nation?

CURSILLO Fall 2013!
A 3-Day Course in Christianity
Cursillo is an international movement.
Literally, hundreds of thousands of Catholics
around the world have "made" a Cursillo and
found it to be one of the life changing events
of their adult Christian life. Not only do people
come away from the experience knowing
more about faith, they come away with a sense that they
belong to a great community of believers with whom they
can share and grow in faith, hope and love.
LIFENET, in partnership with the Archdiocese of
Newark, and Immaculate Conception parish, will be
conducting a True Love Waits program for current 7th &
8th graders, a program to empower youth to save sex
for marriage. Program is 5 sessions from 4:00-6:00 PM
beginning Sunday, June 23rd and ending Thursday,
June 27th at Immaculate Conception Church (Madonna
Hall), 30 N. Fullerton Avenue., Montclair, NJ. An
informational meeting for parents will be on Sunday,
June 9th at 11:00 AM. Cost of program is $30 per
student which includes light refreshments and sterling
silver purity ring for students who make a purity
commitment. We are also looking for high school
students to serve as volunteers. For more information,
call Julissa at 973-744-5650 x-121 or visit
www.lifeneteducation.org.

to come and see,” then the “Come and See” Weekend

Year of Faith: June 2013
Rediscovering the Eucharist:
Celebration and Adoration
Meditation
May this Year kindle in every believer a resolve to
profess the faith in its fullness, with renewed
conviction, and to celebrate the faith more intensely
especially in the Eucharist, the summit toward which all
the Church’s activity is directed and the source from
which all the Church’s energy flows. Without liturgy, the
profession of faith would lack the grace to bear fruit in
Christian witness (see Benedict XVI, Door of Faith, 9,
11).
How providential that June opens, in this Year of Faith,
with the solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of
Christ (Corpus Christi). June’s Sunday Gospels show
Jesus comforting the afflicted and forgiving sin,
predicting his saving passion and challenging would-be
disciples to take up their cross daily and follow him. But
faithful discipleship is impossible without the grace that
flows from Christ’s Eucharistic sacrifice, without the
comfort bestowed by Jesus’ abiding Eucharistic
presence. Thus June becomes a grace-filled
opportunity to renew our appreciation of the multiple
dimensions of the Eucharist by rediscovering the riches
of the Church’s teaching: Eucharist as sacrifice and
paschal banquet (Catechism of the Catholic Church,
1322–1372, 1382–1390; Compendium, 271, 275, 280281; YouCat, 212); Christ’s Real Presence (Catechism,
1373–1381; Compendium, 282–283; YouCat, 216–
218); full, conscious and active participation
(internal and external) (Constitution on the Sacred
Liturgy, 14; Catechism, 1345–1355); fruits of the
Eucharist in our personal and communal lives
(Catechism, 1391–1401); Eucharist as pledge of
future glory (Catechism, 1402–1405).
Mission
Study the Church’s teaching on the Eucharist; prepare
more prayerfully for Sunday (daily) Mass; spend time
each week in Eucharistic adoration.
