MASS ATTENDANCE

Mass attendance for January 30/31: 1841

LENT 2016 BEGINS NOW – THIS WEEK

ASH WEDNESDAY – FEBRUARY 10 AND MORE This Wednesday, February 10th is Ash Wednesday. We will celebrate Mass in Church and distribute Ashes at 6:45 AM, 8:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 7:00 PM. We will have a 4:00 PM Service in the Church with distribution of Ashes. This Service is NOT a Mass. Besides our morning daily Masses at 6:45 and 8:00 AM, Monday to Friday, we will celebrate an evening Mass for Lent at 7:00 PM

Monday through Friday as well. We encourage your attendance. Also on the Fridays of Lent, we will offer the Stations of the Cross in Church at 7:30 PM in English and 8:15 PM in Spanish. On Monday evenings for Lent we offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Confession, from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM in Church. Confessions are offered in all the parishes of the Diocese on these Lenten Monday evenings in case another parish is more convenient for you on the Mondays of Lent.

FASTING AND ABSTINENCE DURING LENT Catholics between the ages of 14 and 59 are obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. In addition, all Catholics 14 years old and older must abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all the Fridays of Lent. Fasting as explained by the U.S. bishops means partaking of only one full meal. Some food (not equaling another full meal) is permitted at

breakfast and around midday or in the evening—depending on when a person chooses to eat the main or full meal. Abstinence forbids the use of meat, but not of eggs, milk products or condiments made of animal fat.

THE FEAST OF OUR LADY OF LOURDES

HONORING HEALTHCARE PERSONNEL

AND THE SICK On the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, Thursday evening, February 11th at 7:00 PM in Church, we will

offer a Mass in Thanksgiving for our Shrine. The Church designates February 11 as World Day of the Sick. Thus we especially encourage all our parishioners who work with and serve the sick to attend this Mass. We ask doctors, nurses, medical technicians, hospital and doctors’

office personnel and volunteers, pharmacists, nursing home and assisted living center staff and volunteers and all who bring Holy Communion to the sick to come on February 11. At this Mass we will invite you to rededicate your life saving work of healing to Christ through Our Lady of Lourdes. The sick and your caregivers are especially invited to this Mass as well. Everyone present will join with you to celebrate this Mass as “a special time of prayer and sharing, of offering one’s suffering for the good of the Church and reminding us to see in our sick brothers

and sisters the face of Christ who, by suffering, dying and rising, achieved the salvation of humankind”. These words of Saint John Paul II give us the spiritual theme for this Mass for the Sick and for all of us who serve the sick. Please mark your calendars for this Thursday, February 11th at 7:00 PM.

ADULT FAITH FORMATION – ON LINE -

YOUR PERSONAL LENTEN FAITH FORMATION Lent is just around the corner! Lent starts very early this year – Ash Wednesday is February 10th. When we think about Lent, many of us ponder, “What should I do for Lent this Year? What should I give up?” What if I told you, “Don’t

give up chocolate, desserts or some other favorite food. Instead,

do something more permanent – do something life-changing!” Lent isn’t just about giving up something; it’s about transforming of our lives to become a better person and to build a better relationship with the Lord. This Lent you can participate in a program called “THE BEST

LENT EVER”, from Dynamic Catholic. Each day during Lent, you

will receive an inspirational email with a short video showing simple ways to bring Jesus into your everyday life. And the best part of the program is that it is FREE – all you have to do is sign up at DynamicCatholic.com/Lent. Do something life-changing this Lent. Take this 40-day spiritual journey to encounter Jesus and yourself. Participate in “THE BEST

LENT EVER.”

LENTEN PRAYER

Dear Lord, As I make my Lenten Journey with you, send me

You and serve You better. Let me be renewed through my

journey to share Your grace with the world. Amen

HOLY YEAR OF MERCY – RANDOM ACTS OF

MERCY & KINDNESS DURING LENT

Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has asked us to become more

aware of the many small and sometimes unnoticed

opportunities we have to extend kindness and mercy to

others… walking the extra mile… going out of our way. This can begin with our family, friends, neighborhood and beyond.

Each weekend during Lent before Mass, a basket and

notebook paper will be on a table as you enter church.

Take a minute to briefly jot down a Random Act of

Kindness/Mercy you have done or received and place it in

the basket. You may also write your Random Act of

Kindness at home on a 3 x 3 paper and bring it to church.

When the gifts of Bread and Wine are brought to the altar,

our acts of Mercy and Kindness will accompany them. This

is a beautiful way to keep focused on Jesus all during Lent,

and serve as a reminder that He is always in our midst in the

presence of others.

WOMEN’S DAY OF REFLECTION – FEBRUARY 20 Saint Peter’s Rosary/Altar Society will be hosting a Women’s

Day of Reflection on February 20, 2016. The speaker will be

Bud MacFarlane, M.I. The program will begin with Mass at 8

AM in Our Lady’s Chapel. Please contact Liz Dennis for

reservations at 973-334-4091. A continental breakfast will be

served.

“WELCOME HOME” MONDAY CONFESSIONS

FOR LENT

Confessions will be held Mondays during Lent, February 15 to

March 14, from 7:00 PM-8:30 PM in every parish in the Diocese of Paterson This is a wonderful opportunity to come

to Confession as a family or to invite a friend who has not had

the opportunity to go to Confession in some time. Don’t be

afraid! Information will be provided. Ask the priest to help

you. Experience the gracious mercy of God!

7 de febrero de 2016

Queridos amigos en Cristo: Nuestra comunidad católica en los Estados Unidos hace algo asombroso todas las Cuaresmas. A través de las oraciones, ayuno y las limosnas, le damos a familias alrededor del mundo las

herramientas necesarias, para levantarse de la pobreza y sustentarse ellos mismos y sus comunidades. Le podemos llamar el efecto “Plato de Arroz CRS”. Y este año, lo volvemos a hacer. Los Platos de Arroz CRS proveen recursos para traer espiritualidad en la Cuaresma a familias y parroquias y comunidades escolares, mientras continuamos conectando católicos en nuestra diócesis con otros hermanos y hermanas necesitados alrededor del mundo.

Exhorto a todas las parroquias y escuelas en nuestra diócesis a utilizar el Plato de Arroz CRS en la Cuaresma 2016. Por favor, asegúrese de entregarle a cada familia en su comunidad, el Plato de Arroz CRS y el calendario de Cuaresma. Estos materiales están disponibles en inglés y español, y son libre de costo. También puede visitar crsricebowl.org para encontrar recursos adicionales como:

Devociones y oraciones cuaresmales.

Reflexiones para compartir la fe en comunidades y grupos

del ministerio de la juventud.

Planes de lecciones, videos y actividades de trabajo para

educadores religiosos y de escuelas católicas.

Ideas para reuniones de la comunidad y para eventos de

comidas sencillas.

Una nueva aplicación que ofrece oraciones y recursos

directamente a su dispositivo móvil. Debe de haber recibido sus materiales de CRS, de CRS a este momento. Si no los ha recibido aún, por favor llame a nuestro director de CRS en la Diócesis de Paterson, Joe Duffy al 973-777-8818, ext 278, o jduffy@patersondiocese.org.

Setenta y cinco porciento de nuestros donativos van a los Servicios de Caridades Católicas (siglas en inglés CRS) para apoyar proyectos vitales de nuestros vecinos en necesidad alrededor del mundo. Veinticinco porciento de nuestros donativos permanecen

aquí en la diócesis, para apoyar nuestros programas de Servicios

de Asistencia de Caridades Católicas. Gracias por invitar a las familias en su parroquia y escuela a una enriquecedora jornada de Cuaresma a través del Plato de Arroz CRS. Juntos podemos hacer que el efecto del Plato de Arroz CRS sea más grande que nunca. Sinceramente suyos en Cristo,

Reverendísimo Arthur J. Serratelli, STD, SSL, DD Obispo de Paterson Dios los bendiga,

Padre Herb

PREVENCION DE LA

TRATA DE PERSONAS Y LA ESCLAVITUD

Atención. El 8 de febrero es el día de Santa Josefina Bakhita, una

niña sudanesa que fue esclavizada a la edad de 7 y fue llamada por su captor: Bakhita, “Afortunada”. Ella experimentó las humillaciones físicas y morales de la esclavitud. Santa Bakhita, fue canonizada en el 2000 y es considerada la patrona de los niños secuestrados y de las víctimas de la trata. Oremos a Santa Bakhita para que proteja a los niños, especialmente aquellos que son explotados sexualmente o como mano de obra. Para recursos de oración, visite: sisteragainsttrafficking.org. Poner fin a la esclavitud es un trabajo

de todos.

También los viernes de Cuaresma, se ofrecerá el Via Crusis en la iglesia a las 7:30 pm en inglés y a las 8:15 pm en español. Los lunes en la noche, durante la Cuaresma, ofreceremos el Sacramento de la Reconciliación, Confesión, de 7:00 a 8:30 pm, en la iglesia.
