Welcome A Message from Msgr. Joe Today’s celebra on could well be about mission. In our Gospel reading, Jesus sends his disciples out to spread his message, giving them explicit instruc ons. We too have been sent by virtue of our Bap sm. Our gathering here, like many such gatherings around the world, is one of the fruits of their labors. An quity es mated the world’s na ons as seventy-two in number. Thus, in sending forth seventy-two disciples, Jesus provides sufficient workers to harvest the en re world. Their mission describes our bap smal call (subs tute “we” for “they”): Jesus’ messengers are not to proclaim themselves but prepare for Jesus. They are sent not as individuals, but in pairs (proclaiming the kingdom is a communal mission). They are to build stable communi es (“the same house” where they “eat and drink,” table fellowship in Luke, poin ng toward Eucharist). They invoke God’s peace, then respond to prac cal needs (curing the sick). They proclaim the Kingdom. In fulfilling their mission they are to trust in God’s providence; focus on the mission’s urgency without distrac ons or delay; humbly accept hospitality, respec ul of the welcoming culture (“eat and drink what is offered”); seek no superior se ngs or accommoda ons; and never retaliate. Isaiah prepares us to hear this gospel of God’s expanding kingdom by envisioning a Jerusalem that, while no longer the spiritual world’s physical center, has become even more
important: the figura ve source (note the beau ful maternal images) from which God extends comfor ng care to all the weary world. Gala ans reminds us that our only boast, as disciples, is the new life we have received through Christ’s cross. How par cularly striking this message is as we celebrate another Independence Day and are reminded of the faith-inspired principles of the Declara on of Independence. As Chris ans our discipleship, witness and mission is not merely to pronounce principles, but to give credibility through the faith-filled integra on of these principles and true ac ons of the disciple preparing the way for the Lord. As we worship here today, let us take me to be thankful to God for all the disciples who have gone before us to spread the Good News. I hope that all will have the opportunity to enjoy the holiday weekend. God Bless!
On his visit to the U.S., Pope Francis encouraged us to nurture, promote, and defend the precious gi of religious freedom. To this end, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has con nued to encourage Catholics, other Chris ans, and all people of good will to set aside two weeks to reflect on religious freedom. The Fortnight for Freedom runs from June 21 (the vigil of the feast of Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher) to July 4 (when we celebrate our na onal Independence Day). The theme for this year’s Fortnight is “Witnesses to Freedom.” The Conference is li ing up for reflec on the stories of 14 women and men who bear witness to freedom in Christ, such as Oscar Romero, the Li le Sisters of the Poor, the Martyrs of Compiègne, and the Cop c Chris ans who were killed by ISIS last year. Reflec ng on the lives of these great men and women can show us how we might serve as witnesses to freedom today. They love their country, yet this love does not surpass their love for and devo on to Christ and his Church. It is remarkable to
see the witness of so many martyrs throughout the history of the Church who love the land and people of their birth, even as they are being persecuted. We can emulate this in our work today to promote religious freedom in the U.S., as it is of a piece with our efforts to contribute to the good of all Americans. We are dedicated to protec ng and building up civil society precisely so that we-and so many others-may remain free to provide educa on, to care for the sick, the poor, and the migrant. Indeed, to yield in the face of challenges to religious ins tu ons today would show a wavering love for our country and a weakening in our resolve to serve the common good. And so we see that these witnesses are also dedicated to service. They show us that what is important is not simply that we have rights, but that we exercise them responsibly and out of love for others. This can take many forms. Like Thomas More, John Fisher, or Edith Stein, we may find ourselves at the forefront of culture. Or, we might serve those who are oppressed and marginalized, as Ven.
Henrie e Delille did. In every situa on, we are called to be missionary disciples, people who follow Christ and serve the world. And if following that call means that we are occasionally at odds with the government or the ambient culture, we can be assured that the power of the Holy Spirit will buoy us in
mes of trouble. The witnesses remind us as well that the struggle for religious freedom is not new. In the history of the Church, both globally and in the United States, religious freedom disputes have arisen frequently. Our challenges did not begin with a par cular government regula on or Supreme Court decision; they began instead when our capacity for knowing the truth and loving the good were damaged in the Fall. All people overstep their bounds from
me to me, and the people who establish and run governments are no different. In short, by pondering the lives of these exemplary Chris an witnesses, we can learn much of what it means to follow Jesus Christ in today’s challenging world.

Our Diocese The Diocese of Trenton, capital endowment campaign, Faith to Move Mountains, has
achieved 50% of the $75 million overall goal! On behalf of Bishop O’Connell, thank you to all of you who have made a pledge to the Faith to Move Mountains campaign from our parish! Presently our parish has raised $473,110 towards our goal of $1,635,000! Our diocese and parish is blessed by your
overwhelming generosity. Bishop is grateful for the support he has already received, but with a parish of more than 3,000 families, he knows that he can count on more success. I hope each will take the me to prayerfully reflect on what they will be able to do by making a sacrificial pledge for the Diocese and our parish before the summer months. Thank you again to everyone who has so generously made a pledge and brought us closer to our goal! If you have any ques ons, please contact the parish office.

Spiritual Direction Tending the sacred rela onship
Spiritual direc on is an on-going rela onship between a “directee” (person seeking) and a “director” (qualified person giving guidance) wherein a sacred space is created for the explora on and deepening of the spiritual life. Through conversa on and reflec on, the directee becomes more a uned to God's presence and can respond more fully to the Divine as it is revealed in all areas of life. Direc on typically takes place in a confiden al one-on-one se ng and may include some form of prayer experience to increase awareness of the movement of the Spirit in the directee’s life. If you are interested in more informa on, please contact Jennifer Hinton at [email protected] or 609-558-0985 (cell) or Teresa Knipper at 609-558-0582(cell) or [email protected]. Teresa is available for appointments during the day.

This policy allows for a child to receive a reasonable amount of prepara on and catechesis in order to experience and understand the sacrament they will be celebra ng.
Children in Catholic Schools If your child a ends a Catholic School other than St. Paul School please contact the Parish Office of Religious Educa on to be sure they are enrolled for any upcoming sacrament prepara on. Ideally, students who will celebrate First Reconcilia on and First Communion should be signed up in first grade. Students preparing for Confirma on should begin no later than 7th grade. For more informa on please contact the Office of Religious Educa on by email at: [email protected] for further
Faith Formation A Message from John Michael McGuire This weekend, as we celebrate the Fourth of July, we will undoubtedly be led to think about freedom and rights. The most poignant right to consider at this point is the inalienable right of to life. What does it mean for a right to be inalienable? It means that the right is innate, inherent and irrevocable by any authority. The right to life is a founda onal aspect of the na on that we live in. This leads us to consider where this right comes from, and why it exists. If protec on of an individual’s life is irrevocable, it must mean that it comes from an authority greater than those who created the laws. If a right is inborn, it must mean that it’s origin comes from our creator. A er all, you can’t inherit an inherent right can you? We as Catholics believe that we are made in the image and likeness of God. What some philosophers and theologians believe this to mean, is that we are created as rela onal, spiritual, and individual beings. We know that God is rela onal in that God exists in three persons of the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. If we read the crea on accounts of Genesis, and consider the mission of our Savior Jesus Christ, we were made to exist in rela onship to God, and to our neighbors, forming communi es within the familial sense, and as the Body of Christ, the Church. If the des ny of every man and woman is to live in rela onship with God, it could easily be seen that it is
wrong to disrespect the life of any human being from the womb to the tomb, because their dignified calling is to live in the presence and in rela onship with God. It is reasonable to consider that our dignity comes from the God who created and loves us, because there is no other source of irrevocable law. Let us pray this week, when we patrio cally celebrate our na on, that we will be renewed in our fervor to protect all life, because we are all created in the image and likeness of God!

Please return the completed form to the Parish Office either through drop-off, weekly collec on basket, mail or email. Please limit your requests to 4 Masses in order to accommodate others’ requests. The office staff will date and record the inten ons in the order in which they are received. The form may be returned prior to the date of the opening of the inten on book. There is no need to wait in line. This is a paper process. It is always possible to obtain a mass inten on for the deceased or living as the need arises, such as a the death of a friend or loved one. Simply contact the parish office to arrange a mass inten on. In order to con nue the prac ce for the reader to announce the mass inten ons during the Universal Prayer (daily masses) or the beginning of Mass (Sundays), you are requested to limit the individual names listed.

In normal circumstances, a priest may only accept one s pend for any one Mass even though he may offer up the Mass for several inten ons.

Proclamas Matrimoniales de Luis Antonio Castillo- Luz Maria Nagua: Su matrimonio se realizara el dia 9 de Julio a
las 7:00pm. En la Iglesia de San Pablo por el Rev. Miguel Valle. Les auguramos desde ya los mas sinceros exitos en su Proyecto de vida matrimonial.

Pastoral Hispana Mensaje del Padre Miguel Valle El evangelio de la misión de los 72 discípulos es peculiar de San Lucas. Algunos rabinos del empo de Jesús, imitando a los an guos profetas, solían enviar a sus discípulos en misiones de entrenamiento y de formación. Jesús tomo la inicia va al enviar a sus discípulos; la Iglesia sigue hoy en ejemplo de Jesús, porque la mies sigue siendo mucha: niños, jóvenes, ancianos, familias, enfermos, drogadictos, grupos marginados, inmigrantes, ovejas negras o descarriadas, los alejados de la Iglesia, y hasta los no creyentes. El papa Benedicto XVI, refiriéndose al templo de Jerusalén en el que había un Atrio de los Gen les, a donde todo el mundo, judíos y paganos, podía entrar para rezar, hablar o dialogar, decía que en la Iglesia debe haber lugar y espacios para dialogar con todas las culturas de nuestro mundo, y con aquellos grupos que se dicen agnós cos o no creyentes. La Iglesia seguirá dando tes monio del evangelio y proclamando a Jesús por medio de un dialogo abierto y respetuoso. Para ello la Iglesia seguirá enviando nuevos misioneros que se acerquen a esos grupos no creyentes para ensenarles la belleza del evangelio de Jesús. Todo Cris ano debe considerarse mensajero o misionero, porque la abundancia de la mies exige mas braceros. No hay que entretenerse solamente predicando y alimentando a los ya conver dos, sino que hay que ir de un modo especial a los alejados de la iglesia, “a las ovejas descarriadas de la casa de Israel”. No hay que esperar que este trabajo lo hagan solamente los sacerdotes o las religiosas; son principalmente las personas laicas las que pueden venir mejor en contacto con esas personas que se han alejado de la iglesia. Hay que seguir invitándolas a regresar a su casa, a la Iglesia. Jesús envía a sus discípulos de dos en dos, por
parejas, para apoyo mutuo, para dar tes monio viviente de paz y amor, y para ser tes gos creíbles de la verdad. El espíritu misionero es uno de paz, alegría, reconciliación, perdón, desprendimiento, esperanza, urgencia y compromiso; hace su labor con sencillez, tanto en los medios materiales que usa como en el vocabulario que u liza; el misionero hace su labor con sencillez, rico en mensaje y pobre en equipaje.

Most importantly, the person who has offered the s pend has not "bought a Mass," a thing which is patently impossible. What has happened is that the priest has commi ed himself to celebrate a Mass according to the inten ons of the person making the offering. This inten on is most o en to recommend the soul of a deceased person but may also be for the
personal inten ons of the living. Because the inten on is essen ally a spiritual act, its publica on neither adds nor subtracts from its efficacy. Indeed, publicly announcing the inten on is done for the comfort of the living and not for the benefit of the dead. If you have any ques ons, please contact the Parish Office.
