We are called to form the Christian Community of Saint Mary Roman Catholic Church; we are protected by our Blessed Mother in whose patronage our parish has been placed under her title “Our Lady of the Rosary.”
Centuries before the end of WWI, November 11 [now known as Armistice Day {the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month} and Veteran’s Day] was the
day the Church honored the patron saint of, among other things, a soldier: the warrior turned monk turned Bishop: Saint Martin of Tours. Born in 316 in Hungary, Martin was conscripted into the Roman army and deployed to Gaul [France];
he died on November 8, 397 and was buried on what is now his Feast Day, November 11, not in his Cathedral’s crypt, but - by his own request - in the Cemetery of the Poor. His relics were moved to the Tours basilica named for him; it was a popular pilgrimage site until 1562 when militant Protestants destroyed it. Ironically, the father of Protestantism, Martin Luther was baptized on Saint Martin’s feast day and was named after him. During the basilica’s reconstruction in 1860, small fragments of his tomb were found, and his relics are reverenced there to this day. Here are his orations and the rest of his story.
Collect - Saint Martin of Tours, Bishop
O God, who are glorified in the Bishop Saint Martin both by his life and death, make new, we pray, the wonders of your grace
in our hearts, that neither death nor life may separate us from your love.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ … and ever. Amen.
SAINT MARTIN’S CAPELLA OR CLOAK. As he
rode his horse to Amiens, [he’s the patron saint of horses] he passed a naked beggar; he cut his military cloak in two and gave half to the beggar. The word for ‘little cloak’ is capella - from which we get the English word chaplain - which is used for clergy who ‘share themselves’ and attend to the spiritual needs of those in the military, hospitals, prisons, etc. Capella also gives us the word we use for little places reserved for religious services: chapel’. In honor of Saint Martin of Tours, we should all consider ways to share whatever we have, and whatever we can do, to help the poor or needy, frightened or sick, imprisoned or lonely. By serving God in such people, we, too, can hope to inherit heaven!
Prayer over the Offerings - Saint Martin of Tours
Sanctify these offerings, we pray, Lord God, which we joyfully present in honor of
Saint Martin, so that through them our life may always be directed
whether in tribulation or in prosperity. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
SAINTS STRUGGLE WITH LIFE AS WE DO. By
age 20, Saint Martin was tired of fighting; in fact, he is the first documented conscientious objector and is their patron saint. After leaving military life, he sought solace in a hermitage, living as a monk. However, his leadership skills and keen awareness of a main theological issue of his day: Arianism, which denied Christ’s full divinity, were well known. This led to his being ‘acclaimed’ Bishop, as it was done back then, but he refused! So he hid in a barn from those who ‘acclaimed’ him a Bishop, but was ‘outed’ by a flock of gaggling geese. [He is also the patron saint of geese!] This may all sound so silly, but don’t we also flee from God’s call to serve in His Church? When an opportunity arises for you to use your skills and abilities to promote the Gospel, don’t be a … silly goose!
Prayer after Communion - Saint Martin of Tours
Grant to us who have been restored by this Sacrament of unity, O Lord, perfect harmony
with your will in all things, that, just as Saint Martin submitted himself entirely to you,
so we, too, may glory in being truly yours. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
CATHOLIC UNITY STARTS AT THE PARISH. As Bishop of Tours, Saint Martin is credited with starting the custom of a Bishop regularly visiting each Parish in his Diocese, to assure orthodoxy and proper practices. These days, Bishops need not be as physically present to maintain these things; diocesan offices and policies help keep us ‘Catholic.’ Do you support - and use- all our Diocese offers to keep us up-to-date with current theology and liturgical norms, and to see that our Catechists and all who minister in the Church are certified and officially mandated? Saint Martin of Tours, pray for us!
With God’s love and my prayers,
Very Rev. Michael J. Kreder, KHS

RCIA RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS
The RCIA is a rite through which the Church celebrates the sacrament of Baptism of adults. The central purpose is conversion. Who are the participants? Persons who were never baptized in any tradition, individuals who have been baptized
in another tradition who seek full communion with entrance into the Catholic Church or baptized Catholics who seek to complete their initiation by receiving the sacraments of Confirmation and/or Holy Eucharist. During the RCIA Process the participants attend sessions that study the doctrines, sacraments, and moral teachings of the Catholic Church. Prayer, reflection, sharing and Bible readings are essential to each meeting. Speak to a priest, deacon or call Mary Kay Benjamin (201) 438-2476 for further information.

CHRISTMAS DECORATING “Can you find some time for us?”
We are coming up on our Christmas church
decorating season. We are always looking for anyone
who is interested in helping as “many hands make light
work” BUT, this year, we are looking ESPECIALLY for
the following: THREE MEN who would be willing to
learn how to ERECT THE STAINED-GLASS WINDOW
that SITS ON THE WALL BEHIND THE ALTAR for the
Christmas season. This is not a particularly difficult task
but one that REQUIRES CAREFUL AND PATIENT
INSTALLATION as this is a VALUABLE WINDOW.
Complete instructions will be given by someone who
has done it many times. Also, we are looking for
someone who is willing to learn how to HANG
VARIOUS THINGS throughout the church at different
times of the year. This person must be WILLING TO
CLIMB AN EXTENSION LADDER as many of the items
are hung rather high such as the WREATHS ON THE
WALL IN THE NARTHEX and the WREATHS OUTSIDE
THE CHURCH over the Christmas season, the BLUE
FABRIC THAT IS HUNG BEHIND THE BLESSED MOTHER
in the front of church, etc. It bears repeating, this
person must be comfortable on a high ladder. If you
are able to assist us or need more information, please
call Debbie Moran in the church office at 201-438-2200
