Sacrament of Penance Saturdays in Church or by Appointment 5 PM By Seàn-Patrick LOVETT Seoul, South Korea, for Vatican Radio Here in Korea, everywhere you look, you see this slogan – in every shape, size and form: on banners fluttering from lampposts and draped across skyscrapers, on caps, t-shirts and coffee-cups. It flashes across TV screens and is emblazoned upon anything and everything associated with these Asian Youth Day celebrations. So no one was surprised when Pope Francis focussed on the individual words of this slogan during his homily at the Mass closing the 6th Asian Youth Day, using his familiar 3-point catechetical approach, and confirming some of his favourite inspirational themes. As “Asians”, he said, “you have a right and a duty to take full part in the life of your societies. Do not be afraid to bring the wisdom of faith to every aspect of social life”. “As Christians”, he continued, “you can appreciate the many positive values of the diverse Asian cultures. You are also able to discern what is incompatible with your Catholic faith…and what aspects of contemporary culture are sinful, corrupt, and lead to death”. As “Youth”, said Pope Francis, “you are filled with the optimism, energy and good will which are so characteristic of this period in life. Let Christ turn your natural optimism into Christian hope, your energy into moral virtue, your good will into genuine self-sacrificing love”. “As Christians”, he went on, “you are not only a part of the future of the Church, you are also a necessary and beloved part of the Church's present”. The Pope urged the young people of Asia to keep close to one another, to God, and their Bishops, in order to build “a holier, more missionary and humble Church” that seeks “to serve the poor, the lonely, the infirm and the marginalised”. As Asian Youth called to “Wake up!”, concluded the Pope, you have a responsibility and a duty “to be vigilant, not to allow the pressures, the temptations and the sins of ourselves or others to dull our sensitivity to the beauty of holiness, to the joy of the Gospel”. No one can do anything if they are asleep, improvised Pope Francis in English, repeating again and again the challenge to “Wake up!”. Pope Francis blesses a child in Seoul.

Safeguarding Children and Addressing Abuse The Archdiocese Acts to Protect Youth and Children Archbishop Myers has stated categorically that the primary responsibilities of the Archdiocese are to protect children and young people, and to promote the healing of, and provide compassion to, victims of abuse. The Archdiocese of Newark requires all staff and volunteers working with children and youth to undergo background checks and receive sexual abuse awareness training. More than 20,000 Clergy, Religious and Lay people have received this training and undergone criminal background checks. Nearly 95,000 children annually receive safe environment training through our Catholic schools and through opportunities offered to public school students in our religious education programs. The Archdiocese utilizes the services of a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as the first contact for individuals who allege that they were abused so that counseling and other support services can be offered immediately if appropriate – sometimes even before a determination is made regarding the credibility of an allegation. A full-time Office of Child and Youth Protection dedicated to protecting children works with parishes and schools to ensure that safe environments are in place throughout the Archdiocese. Parish Membership Our Parish Family invites all of its members to participate fully in our spiritual and social life. Every family moving into the Parish is requested to register at the Rectory.

Meet The New Priests of the Archdiocese of Newark Father Doroteo B Layosa II Born and raised in the Philippines, Fr Layosa, 33, was the fourth of six children of the late Cayetano Layosa, a furniture maker, and his wife, Lourdes Saldo. Before coming to the US he studied at Holy Rosary Seminary in Naga City. His family prayed the rosary every night but it was the example of Monsignor Dominador Galicia that led him to the seminary. “Mamong Doming” gave Fr Layosa his first Holy Communion and his first Bible, which remains a constant companion. “I witnessed his simplicity, humility, great patience and joyful heart in his priesthood and most of all his dedication to prayer,” Fr Layosa said. “He was a dedicated and holy man who loved and served God and his people until he breathed his last. I told him that I would want to be like him.” Fr Layosa's first mass was offered at St Henry in Bayonne, where he served as a deacon.

The son of Joana Mabini Rado and Ferdinand Attilio, Fr Mabini, 31, is the eldest of seven. During his formation, his fondest memories were of serving missions in Belize and in Saint Croix. “It was a challenging experience, because the sufferings of these people were quite visible,” he said, and only confirmed his commitment to the priesthood. His home parish is now Saint Aedan's: the Saint Peter's University Church in Jersey City. He served his diaconate at Saint Peter in Belleville. How can you support seminarians? A portion of the donations collected by the Annual Appeal is used to fund the seminary training and formation of our new priests. Your support of the Annual Appeal continues to directly support the three seminaries maintained by the Archdiocese to educate and train future priests. Help Students in Philippines The Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God are asking for your help. On 8 November 2013, Tacloban City of Philippines was hit by the full force of Typhoon Haiyan, causing massive destruction across the city. 50% of our Sacred Heart School was destroyed, especially the high school building and library. We started a long journey of cleaning, repairing, and rebuilding after Typhoon Haiyan. The school resumed on 6 January, 2014. 75% of students who are from kindergarten to high school are back to school now. In this coming October, the library will be ready for the students. However, we do not have the books in English for our library because only 2 books survived. We need all kinds of the books (text books, references, magazines, novels, arts, music, coloring and story books...) from kindergarten to high school/college ( freshman & sophomore), and the school supplies as well. We need your support to rebuild our school. If you have the books you are able to donate, please contact 862-249-6026. Please contact Elizabeth F. Caraballo, Esq. at [email protected] for more information on how you can help.

Catholic Social Teaching: Pacem in Terris — Part One Rights and Duties By Drew STUART, MA In 1963, as the Cold War raged, Pope John XXIII released his encyclical Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth). In this encyclical, he speaks of the ordering of society and relations between persons and nations from the perspective of Catholic Social teaching. Starting out, he says that peace on earth can only be achieved if humanity follows the order that God has established for the earth. All human beings can understand this order, as it is written on every heart and can be discovered through conscience. By following this order, states, peoples, and individuals can develop their relationships with each other. Pope John asserts that every human being has, by nature, intelligence and free will and is subject of rights and obligations that are based upon being created in God's image. By respecting these mutual rights and duties, human beings can live together in peace. Pope John XXIII next lists these rights and duties. Each person has the right to life, bodily integrity, and the means necessary for proper development (eg food, clothing, shelter medical care, etc.) Next, everyone has a right to a good reputation, the freedom to look for the truth, and the right to form and express their own opinions within the limits of the moral order and common good. He says that each person has a right to be informed about public events, to share in the benefits of education and culture, to practice the religion of his or her choice, to choose his or her state of life, and to establish and provide for a family. All people have a right to work and to healthy working conditions. These working conditions should respect women's duties as wives and mothers. Finally individuals have a right to a just wage that acknowledges their dignity, and the right to private property. Pope John asserts that there are also social rights, including the rights to assembly and association, the right to emigrate for just reasons, and the right to participate to political particPope Saint John XXIII ipation. He emphasizes that each right has a corresponding duty which finds its origin in natural law. The right to life comes with the duty to preserve one's life and the right to a just standard of living comes with the duty to live within your means. Overall, Pope John emphasizes that Catholic social teaching holds that all human beings have certain rights that include corresponding duties. Only by acknowledging and respecting that each person, as a being created in God's image, is subject to these rights and duties can we hope to establish peace in the world.
