On October 2, I had the honor to join the Catholic
Men’s Group that meets in the basement of Kelly’s
Tavern early in the morning every month. There
were 50-60 men from many of the parishes in this
neighborhood, who meet together monthly before
leaving for work, - for prayer, sharing and to listen
to a presentation from an invited guest. When the
group asked me to address the group, I decided that
I would talk to them about a topic that I had written
about previously in this bulletin, and which was
also the theme of the Diocesan Priests Convocation
in Avalon in September.
This topic, which is of interest and concern to all
Catholics, is the psychological health and well
being of Catholic priests. I know from experience
that the health of the priests who direct and lead our
parishes directly affects many aspects of the
spiritual lives of parishioners, individuals, families
and children. In a sense, every Catholic who takes
his/her faith seriously, has a stake in the health and
well being of our priests.
Without getting into some of the myths that are
prevalent about the priesthood (I have already
written about them), suffice it to say that in several
well designed and rigorously conducted studies, it
emerges that priests score at a slightly more healthy
level on various measures of psychopathology than
the general population, and specifically than those
engaged in comparable social service professions.
So, I was interested to read a report in the New
York Times last Saturday (October 4) that reported
that contrary to expectations, studies are finding that
the common conception that stress is usually caused
by having too much work, is, in fact, a
misconception.
Professor Paul E Spector, a professor of
Psychology at the University of South Florida,
says that too little to do – or “under-load”, as he
calls it – can cause many of the physical
discomforts we associate with being overloaded,
like muscle tension, stomachaches and
headaches.
Studies now also postulate that the idea that stress is
always bad is another misconception. The classic
idea of stress – too much to do, too challenging a
task – is common. But even that kind of stress
should be rethought. In fact, research has shown
that if people learn to view stress with a different
mindset – as helpful rather than disabling – they
can learn to better handle its effects. Stress – or at
least reshaping the perception of it – may
actually keep us healthy.
Having moved in July from a smaller, and less
“stressful” parish (St. Jerome/St Mary) to a very
busy, and ostensibly more stressful St. Catharine-St.
Margaret Parish, I can personally attest to the fact
that the correlation between stress and too much
work may be overstated. (Actually, for me the jury
is still out – stand by for the verdict).
Fr Harry Cullen
In essence, we are just about as crazy as the rest of
the population (actually, slightly less crazy).
Mass Exodus
In relation to measures of burnout, a majority of
priests report that with the decrease in vocations to
the priesthood, they feel that they are overworked.
Interestingly, however, and counter-intuitively, this
does not translate into symptoms of burnout, and
the studies did not find a correlation between the
two constructs. Presumably, the reason for this is
because, generally, priests like what they do, are
enlivened and affirmed by the relationships that we
are blessed with in the ministry, and because most
priests have a lively prayer life and a healthy
relationship with God.
Perhaps it is my imagination or just wishful thinking, but
it appears to me that parishioners have responded in a
very generous way to the challenge to remain in church
until the end of Mass. If it is true, and if you have
modified your practice, on behalf of the parish, I thank
you and I commend you for rising to the challenge. It
may seem like a small thing in comparison to the great
issues and problems that we face as a church, but small
does not mean insignificant. We all want to feel proud
of our parish, and to many of us, this is a source of some
shame and embarrassment. I am tired of hearing from
people who migrate from here to Florida or the southern
states in the Fall and Winter, that “this kind of thing
never happens in our church”. Well it doesn’t happen
here (as much) either.

Doctrinal Wars?
This week the Diocesan newspaper, The Monitor,
reports on an issue that will be hotly debated at the
Synod in Rome this week. This will be the issue of
the eligibility of divorced and civilly remarried
Catholics to receive Communion. It would appear
that a “doctrinal war” is about to break out
between those who are proposing a change that
would allow such Catholics to receive Communion
and those who are strongly opposed to such a
move.
The Pope himself has said that the predicament of
such Catholics exemplifies a general need for
mercy in the Church today, and has indicated that
their predicament will be a major topic of
discussion in the Synod.
Invest Wisely
Help St. Catharine students by remembering St. Catharine
School in your estate plan. By including St. Catharine Parish
and school in your estate plan, you can make a significant impact
on future generations. A bequest is one of the most thoughtful
ways of providing for St. Catharine students: it is a gift that
shows your commitment to the school’s tradition of excellence
today, and allows St. Catharine students to thrive academically
and spiritually tomorrow .

2014 there would be an extraordinary General Assembly

questions facing the Church. The theme of this

On the lighter Side
“A husband and wife were at a party chatting with some friends
when the subject of marriage counseling came up. “Oh, we’ll
never need that. My husband and I have a great relationship” the
wife explained. “He was a communications major in college and I
majored in theatre arts. He communicates real well, and I just act
like I’m listening.”

St. Catharine – St. Margaret Parish Family
NJ Sister on Road to Sainthood
There has been very little publicity about a very
important and proud event that happened in
Newark last Sunday. A Sister of Charity from
Bayonne, NJ who died at the age of 26 in the
Convent of the Sisters of Charity in Convent
Station was formally beatified at a special Mass in
the Cathedral in Newark. This was the first time
ever that a beatification ceremony was conducted
in the USA. Her name was Sister Miriam Teresa
Demjanovich. She was born in Bayonne and her
parents were immigrants from present-day
Slovakia.
During her very short time as a sister, she wrote
many devotional writings that have been very
popular with many Catholics. For the past 60
years, the Congregation for Causes of Saints has
been examining her life and her writings and the
medical miracle linked to her intercession, to
determine if she was indeed virtuous and holy
enough to be honored. Her beatification last
Sunday was a resounding “YES” to these
questions, and places her on the road of being
declared a saint sometime in the future.
Here at St Catharine-St Margaret, we
have a direct connection to Blessed Sister
Miriam, in Sister Margaret, who is a
member of the same community of the
Sisters of Charity, Convent Station.

PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
“We, the Catholic community of St. Catharine - St. Margaret, gather in Christ's name to nurture spiritual growth through the various stages and
challenges of life.
We are committed through liturgy, sacraments and parish activities - to proclaim the message of the Gospel, to provide a quality Catholic education
for children and adults, to continue to build community and to serve those in need.
Rich in the traditions established in this community during the last century, we challenge ourselves to live our faith in loving service to the
community's residents and its many summer visitors.
We affirm our concern for all members of the Mystical Body of Christ everywhere and particularly those who require assistance.
And always, we seek to know and love God and to love our neighbor as Jesus taught us.”
