My Dear Parish Family,

We now come to the conclusion of our Christmas season. It is wonderful that as this joyful time

comes to a close, we are still enthusiastic

for the season ahead! Saint John the Baptist greets us now as he baptizes our Lord Jesus Christ in the Jordan.

Clearly our Lord Jesus Christ did not need to be baptized, but He is a leader, and He wants us to follow His example. Our Lord always leads by example. When we find times to be

challenging, when we find times to be

tough, we know that He has walked the path before us, ensuring that we too can one day persevere and join in the glory of His Resurrection. Let us now prepare to enter into the

days ahead with great confidence and optimism. The new year has begun - let us run out to meet it with Christian enthusiasm! Please continue to pray for me as I will pray

for you. Please continue to pray for me as I will pray for you.

Rev. Brian Patrick Woodrow

Him!

Let us embrace the example that our

Mother the Church has given us throughout

the centuries as we together turn to the East,

ad orientem, to joyfully await the coming of

Please join us on Thursday, January 23rd at 1:00 PM in the Community Room for a special session of our monthly Caregiver Support Group focusing on Alzheimer’s Disease. Our Guest speaker is Toni Ann Widmaier, from Alzheimer’s, New Jersey. This program is designed to provide caregivers and family members, with a comprehensive overview of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Caregivers of individuals with dementia will learn about the various stages of Alzheimer’s the process of getting a diagnosis, strategies for caring for someone with dementia, and much more. To date, there is no cure and no effective treatment for this cruel, fatal disease that robs victims of their lives, and families of their loved ones. In New Jersey alone, there are an estimated 180,000 coping with Alzheimer’s disease. People with dementia are often isolated, or hidden, because of the stigma or the possibility of negative reactions from neighbors and relatives to behavioral and psychological symptoms. Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s can be extremely demanding and often overwhelming. The most important thing is to learn all about the disease process, identify the available resources, coping strategies, and the value of joining a support group.

Please join us for this very important presentation and invite anyone you know that is caring for a loved one who is suffering from this disease. Pre-registration is required by calling 888-280-6055 or at www.alznj.org.

Maureen Arce, Pastoral Care, Director of Caregiver Support Ministry

Aine Lynch, R.N.MSN., Director, Parish Nurse Ministry

Sponsored by the Caregivers Support Ministry in conjunction with the Parish Nurse and Health & Wellness Ministries.

There is no fee for attending this program, however, PRE-REGISTRATION is required

either with Alzheimer’s New Jersey at www.alznj.org, or by calling 888-280-6055.
