**** FROM THE PASTOR ****
16TH Sunday in Ordinary Time
My brothers and sisters, last week we talked about the seed of Faith that was sown in each of us at Baptism.
Each of us received the good seed of Christ love. Today Jesus talks about the world we live in and how the
evil one sows evil seed around us. The weeds of sin can surround us at times and if we are not careful in
growing in our faith those weeds can choke the life out of our faith.
St. Paul tells us today that Jesus gives us the Holy Spirit to aid us in our weakness. Like a good farmer he
nourishes us in our faith to enable us to resist the evil in the world. As St. Paul tells us: “the Spirit himself
intercedes with inexpressible groanings . . . He intercedes for the holy ones according to God’s will”.
Like the mustard seed our Faith can grow from that tiny seed of Baptism into the fullness of discipleship. We
can live that Faith and share it with others if we work at our prayer life, our Sacramental life and our
discipleship. We can produce the fruit of faith thirty, or sixty or a hundred-fold. Let each of us be yeast in
the hands of the Lord that leavens our homes, our schools, our places of work and our neighborhoods with
the love of God.
We Need Volunteers for our Sunday Counters Teams!
We are still in need of volunteers for our Sunday Counting Teams. The Counters count the Sunday
Collection. If you are looking to volunteer in the parish but prefer a more behind the scenes service this might
be just right for you. We have four teams of Counters who rotate every four weeks. They are a wonderful
group of men and women who enjoy their service and each other’s company. As I mentioned last month we
have lost some of our long time dedicated counters. If you think this ministry might appeal to you talk to Fr.
Cinque or Fr. Ray and they can explain it to you. Thank you for thinking about joining this wonderful and
important ministry in our parish.
May God bless you,
Fr. Stephen Cinque
WORD OF LIFE
“When we consider that women are treated as property it is
degrading to women that we should treat children as property
to be disposed of as we see fit.”
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
“When a man steals to satisfy hunger, we may safely conclude
that there is something wrong in society. So when a woman
destroys the life of her unborn child, it is an evidence that either
by education or circumstances she has been greatly wronged.”
Mattie Brinkerhoff

COOP HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE EXAMINATION -
This fall, eighth grade students in Catholic and public schools
seeking admission to an Archdiocesan high school will take a

previous test designed by CTB McGraw-Hill that the company
is not expected to continue offering. The COOP exam
measures scholastic aptitude in verbal and non-verbal abilities
in achievement in reading, language arts and mathematics..
Specific information about the dates and procedures for
registering for the 2017 COOP exam will be available on the
COOP website - http://jncoopexam.org

PLANNED GIVING OPPORTUNITIES (BEQUESTS) -
Imagine a gift that gives forever. That’s exactly what a bequest

insurance policy can do for our parish endowment. The plans
you make now will strengthen our parish family by providing
perpetual financial support year after year. Learn more by
contacting Theresa Lynch in the Archdiocese of Newark
Planned Giving Office at 973-497-4042.
CHURCH CHUCKLES
A Preacher ended his temperance sermon by saying, “The
world would be a better place if everyone poured their beer,
wine and whiskey into the river.” Then sat down. The song
leader stood and announced with a smile, “For our closing song,
let us sing Hymn 365: ‘Shall We Gather at the River.’”
