FIRE UPON THE EARTH: A ‘NEW EVANGELIZATION’ COURSE Our Diocese is offering a nine month course to form people for the mission of evangelization here at St. Joseph Church. The classes will take place on the first Saturday of the month from 9:00am - 12:00pm in the Community Room. This course is a basic introduction to the New Evangelization spoken of so often by our popes in recent years. An evangelistic retreat is incorporated into the content as well as different methods and practical tools available for use in the mission of evangelization. Fire Upon the Earth is open to anyone who wants to understand what evangelization is and can commit to a three hour class once a month from October thru June. Registration is required. For more information: www.diometuchen.org/evangelization or contact the Office of Evangelization 732-562-2469 or at evangelization @diometuchen.org

FROM THE PASTOR Thanks for all your prayers for Fr. Krystian and myself while we were down the shore at Convocation this past week, The annual gathering for all the priests of the diocese was well attended and we heard some good talks about ministry, especially our efforts to attract younger people to our churches.

The talk from our bishop was both informative and encouraging. Please let me remind you that Wednesday, November 1 is the Solemnity of All Saints and a holy day of obligation for all faithful Catholics. Masses will be: Tuesday, October 31 at 7:30PM (Vigil Mass) Wednesday, November 1 at 9:00AM Wednesday, November 1 at 7:30PM The following day, November 2, is the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. It’s more commonly called All Souls’ Day and it is NOT a holy day of obligation. However, lots of people like to come to Mass that day as well and pray for the souls of their beloved dead. Masses will be: Thursday, November 2 at 9:00AM Thursday, November 2 at 7:30PM At the evening Mass at 7:30 we remember in particular all those from our parish who have died in the last year, as well as all the souls of the faithful departed. I hope that many of you will join us for that special Mass on the evening of All Souls’ Day as well. With these two feasts we enter into the final month of the Church’s liturgical year. This is a time when we focus on the four last things: Death, Judgement, Heaven and Hell. It is a time to remember those who have gone before us and consider, too, our own mortality especially in light of the love and mercy of God. When was the last time you contemplated your own death? When was the last time you spent some time in real reflection on what comes after death? Have any of you ever taken a moment out of your day to consider the possibility that your life, that precious and fragile gift, actually could end at any moment? Are you ready? Can any of us really be “ready”? The month of November is a good time; the best time to think about questions like these. That’s not to be maudlin or macabre. Rather, these questions help us to evaluate what kind of disciples we are and how well we are trying to incorporate the Gospel into our daily lives. It might seem a little frightening but Jesus told us to have no fear. He is with us. What lies beyond this world is a new and glorified life with Him. But, what are all of us doing, here and now, to get there and to prepare a place for ourselves there? Have a Blessed Week!
