Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
St. Michael The Archangel Church, Union, New Jersey
November 22 & 23, 2014
As we conclude this liturgical year, we anticipate the future
and Christ’s return in glory at the end of time. Our focus is
on Christ’s kingship, and ancient image that is tempered by
the image of the shepherd. God, and God in Christ, is tender
and loving, yet judging and separating. The King – the Son
of Man – identifies with the least of us.
CHRIST THE KING

THANKSGIVING GRACE
This is a day for thanks,
A day in which we see or hear
or feel the wonders of the other moments of the year.
This is a day for time,
a day in which we think of pasts
that make our present rich and future bountiful.
This is a day for joy,
a day in which we share a gift of laughter, warm and gentle as a smile.
Above all, this is a day for peace.
So, let us touch each other and know that we are one.
For these and other blessings,
we give thanks.

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION (R.C.I.A)
Every Sunday at 9:00 AM we meet at the Lower
Church. Anyone interested in becoming a Roman
Catholic, or any adult Catholic who has not
received all the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism,
Confirmation and Eucharist and would like to
receive these Sacrament, please contact
Fr. Emmanuel or Mike Alfano
[email protected] for more details.
CYO/Youth Ministry News
[email protected]
December will be a great month
for all. Our members will volunteer for Community
Service as we have 6 different projects to choose
from. They include the Nursing Home, Disabled
Children, Quadriplegic Center and more…. So
don’t delay and sign up this week!
CHANGE IS IN THE AIR
In an effort to be more compliant with the General
Instruction of the Roman Missal 2002, the
Introduction to the Order of the Mass 2003, and the
Norms for the Distribution and Reception of Holy
Communion Under Both Kinds in the United States
of America 2002, effective November 30, 2014 (the
first Sunday of Advent), you will notice some
changes taking place in the Sanctuary during the
Mass. These new procedures affect the Presider,
the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
and the Altar Servers and do not require any change
on the part of the congregation.
These
modifications are being implemented in an effort to
reduce the movement in the Sanctuary, thereby
creating a more reverent and prayerful atmosphere
for the celebration of the Mass.
Those interested in Reading and acting in our Dec.
15th Festival of Lights should let Phil know as soon
as possible. Spots will be given out on a first come
first served basis.
ALL SOULS ENVELOPES
You may have noticed that your envelope packet
did not contain the envelopes for All Soul’s Day.
The envelope company D.P.Murphy is sending out
the All Souls Day envelopes in a special mailing
this week. Although All Souls Day has passed the
priests will collect the envelopes and pray for those
listed throughout the whole month of November.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
