The book for September 2021 is Where the Crawdads Sing, a novel by Delia Owens, which has been a best-seller for months. For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet fishing village. Kya Clark is barefoot and wild; unfit for polite society. In late 1969 a murder occurs, and the locals im-mediately suspect her. But Kya is not who they think she is. Abandoned when she was young, with only one year of formal schooling, she has learned how to survive while living in the marsh. She is wise in the ways of the wild, but the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. Drawn to two young men from town, who are each intrigued by her wild beauty, she opens herself to a new and startling world – until the unthinkable happens.
Creation Care Corner
Christians throughout the world unite as one family in Christ, celebrating the bonds we share with each other and with “every living creature on Earth” (Genesis 9:10). The Christian family celebrates this Season spend-ing time in prayer, considering ways to inhabit our com-mon home more sustainably, and lifting our voices in the public sphere. This “time for creation” offers, in the words of Pope Francis, “individual believers and communities a fitting opportunity to reaffirm their personal vocation to be stewards of creation”. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops reminds us “we show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of Creation”. Please join with other Christians throughout the world.
Queridos amigos, Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que escribí una columna un lunes para ser impresa el próximo domingo. Entre las vaca-ciones del personal, los ajustes del boletín y las vacaciones, ha sido difícil comunicarme con ustedes en tiempo real. Dicho esto, ¡gracias a Dios por nuestro envío masivo de correos electrónicos! El fin de semana pasado, el 21/22 fue increíble, y estoy muy feliz y orgulloso de ser nuestra gran familia parroquial. A pe-sar de que un huracán se acercaba a la costa, nuestra iglesia estaba llena de mucha fe, esperanza y amor. Tuvimos tres colectas, dos sermones, otras celebraciones sacramentales y los continuos problemas técnicos con la transmisión en vivo. La Hna. Mary Cecilia, nuestra misionera visitante, habló muy bien del trabajo de las hermanas en África. Con el verano terminando extraoficialmente con el Día del Trabajo, la parroquia estará en un modo "a toda velocidad". Nuestro ministerio juvenil y la formación en la fe se reanudarán como antes del Covid. De hecho, estamos comenzando con pie derecho. Hemos estado recibiendo muchas solicitudes para la formación en la fe y para el grupo juvenil durante el verano. ¡Eso es algo muy bueno! Nuestros coordinadores del Bowery Mission y del almuerzo para los Seniors han informado que prefieren esperar hasta que pase la variante Delta y los nuevos casos de Covid disminuyan, antes de reanudar estos hermosos ministerios. Aunque intentaré planificar algunas reuniones sociales al aire libre después de las misas, el "café y ..." después de las misas dominicales, co-mo era antes del Covid, aún estoy esperando un poco a ver que pasa. También suspendí todas las fiestas privadas en el Redmond Center, pero ciertamente continuaré y mantendré allí todos los eventos que tengan que ver con nuestro minis-terio parroquial. Por favor, no olvide nuestro picnic parroquial el 26 de sep-tiembre, después de la última misa, en el parque Van Sauun en Paramus. Trae dos cosas: a ti mismo y un buen apetito!!!! Ustedes han ayudado a superar nuestro objetivo de la Cam-paña anual para la arquidiócesis y a recuperarnos bien en tiempos del Covid. Por eso queremos darte las gracias. Paz, bendiciones y saludos fraternos, Rev. Joseph A. D'Amico

Pastor’s Corner/ El Rincón del Pastor
Dear Friends, It's been so long since I have written a column on a Mon-day to be printed the next Sunday. Between staff vaca-tions and bulletin adjustments it's been difficult to com-municate with you in real time. With that being said, Thank God, for our bulk email blast! This past weekend, August 21/22 was just amazing. I'm so happy and proud to be a part of our great parish fami-ly. Despite a hurricane coming up the coast, our church was filled with so much faith, hope and love. We had three collections, two sermons, other sacramental celebra-tions, and the ever continuing I.T problems with the live stream. Sr. Mary Cecilia who was our visiting missionary spoke so beautifully of the work of the sisters in Africa. With summer unofficially ending with Labor Day, the parish will be in a "full speed ahead" mode. Our high school Youth Ministry and Faith Formation will resume as before COVID. Actually we are starting off on a very strong note. We've been receiving many applications for faith formation and youth ministry during the sum-mer. That is a very good thing! Our coordinators for the Bowery Mission and Senior Luncheon have informed me that they prefer to wait till the “delta variant” and new COVID cases decrease before resuming these beauti-ful ministries. Although I will try to plan some outdoor socials after the masses the "coffee and...." after the Sun-day masses as it was pre covid is still “on hold” for the same reason. I have suspended all private parties in the Redmond Center as well but will certainly continue and maintain all ministry events there. Please don't forget our Parish Picnic; September 26 after the last mass in Van Saun Park in Paramus. Bring two things: yourself and an appetite!!!! You have helped ex-ceed our annual appeal goal for the Archdiocese and get us into “recovery mode” from COVID. We want to say thank you. Peace, blessings and fraternal regards, Rev. Joseph A. D'Amico
