Bishop McDonnell To Change Residence!
Dear Friends,
Bishop McDonnell and his family have decided it would be beneficial to the Bishop to move his
residence to The Little Sisters of the Poor, Saint Joseph Home for the Elderly located in Totowa,
New Jersey. This move will take place over the next few weeks and we will keep you updated.
Bishop Charlie has been an inspiration to many of us at Saint Mary’s and it has been a joy to have
him living with the priests in the Rectory. The Bishop is looking forward to this change, which
will allow him to live more comfortably and securely.
Even after his move, the Bishop will be with us on a regular basis, as we will have his rooms here
available for his convenience. He will be staying with us many weekends and will be returning to
participate with us in many of the liturgical celebrations and activities of the parish.
Saint Joseph’s in Totowa is a wonderful place. The Bishop will be able to come and go as he
pleases and will be able to receive visitors. I am sure he will continue to accept lunch and dinner
invitations!
If you see the Bishop over the next few weeks, please let him know how much we appreciate his
presence and service here, and please thank him for all he has done for our parish.
God Bless,
Fr. Rich
Blood Drive
The Blood mobile will be coming to St. Mary’s this Sunday,
November 16th. Donations can be made from 8:30 AM to 1:30
PM. The need is constant; please donate. Thank you!
Nutley Community Thanksgiving Service
November 24th at 7:30 PM
The Nutley Community Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service will be held on Monday evening,
November 24th at 7:30 PM at Holy Family Church located at 28 Brookline Drive in Nutley. Father
Thomas Nicastro of St. Mary’s Church will be preaching, area clergy will participate, there will be
the blowing of the shofar, a Nutley Congregations Choir will sing and the Vincent Church Wesley
Ringers will play. The evening’s offering will be donated to the
Nutley Family Service Bureau, whose mission is to promote the
emotional and social well being of individuals and families
through counseling and to provide community outreach to those
in need. All are welcomed and encouraged to join!

"Find Us Ready Lord!"
Some week’s music selections fit a singular theme. This is not one of those weeks. There are more than a few
things to consider in today’s readings; from the blessing of a good wife to the parable of the talents. (The
readings begin on page 230) There is also the end of time, which Paul writes will come unexpectedly “like a thief
in the night.’ In addition to this, our liturgical calendar tells us we are one week away from the end of the
church year while our civil calendar tells us the secular “holyday;” Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
Our first prelude speaks of a busy-ness appropriate for builders of the kingdom. When pray that God “Find Us
Ready” I think of the 2 people in today’s gospel who were found to be ready by the master on his return.
Our second prelude “Ubi Caritas” (song #530) is a beautiful adaptation by Bob Hurd. The chorus is translated
“where there is true charity, God is present. It would be an excellent choice for a wedding. (A hint and word of
congratulations to the couples, who just completed their pre-cana training.)
Finally, I mention the communion song we will be singing for the next two weeks; “We Give You Thanks.”
You will find the words to the refrain in a reprint box in this bulletin.
Peace,
Bruce
P.S.: Please consider joining us at the Nutley ecumenical Thanksgiving service, Monday Nov. 24th at Holy
Family Church. (St. Mary’s Adult Choir will be one of the groups offering an anthem.)

The Holy Father's Prayer Intentions
We pray that all who suffer loneliness may experience the closeness of God and the support of others. We also pray
that young seminarians and religious may have wise and well-formed mentors.
Religious Education News
First Penance
First Penance Preparation Class for our Sunday students is next Sunday,
November 23 from 9-10:15am. Fr. Trinidad will help us all to better
understand the Sacrament of Penance and what it does to help us grow as
followers of Jesus. Students should go to their classes while parents are invited to come over to
Walsh Hall for coffee as they await the start of the preparation. Please remember to bring your
completed First Penance book with you to the class.
Confirmation
Our next class will be this Thursday, November 20 from 7-8:30pm.
We also have lots of opportunities for service coming up this month so be sure to check out the
website to find out where you can help serve.
National Donor Sabbath – This Weekend!!!
Places of worship throughout New Jersey are celebrating National Donor Sabbath this weekend to
raise awareness about the critical need for organ and tissue donors. Close to 115,000 men, women
and children are waiting for a healthy organ. In New Jersey alone, close to 5,000 people await lifesaving organs and thousands more wait tissue transplants. Today, 18 people will die because they
will not get the organ transplant they so desperately need. One donor can save the lives of 5
people. One tissue donor can enhance the lives of more than 50 people. We encourage members of
the St. Mary’s family to consider organ and tissue donation. Talk it over with your family
members to discuss your wishes. You can register as an organ donor when you renew your driver’s
license or online at www.NJSharingNetwork.org.
