Obiukwu, A. Boddie # 572 2-8-2015/ pub./ P. 2 Dear parishioners, Next Sunday, February 15, will be “kickoff Sunday” for the diocese’s Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA). (From 2000 to 2013, it was called the Bishop’s Annual Appeal.) The ACA supports the pastoral activities of the Church of Trenton, which is one of more than 3,000 local Churches (dioceses) that comprise the universal Church, the Mystical Body of Christ. I made a personal pledge for last year’s appeal and will do so again this year. I ask that you please consider joining me in making a pledge, in whatever amount you can afford, even if it’s only five or ten dollars. Your participation will show Bishop O’Connell – the chief shepherd of the Church of Trenton -- that you support his efforts to minister to the various needs of the people (Catholic and non-Catholic) in the four counties of our diocese. Last Sunday, I received an e-mail from a parishioner which said: “Dear Father Chang: Regarding your Pastor’s Message, less trivia, fewer parentheses and a more spiritual message would be appreciated.” As I have said before, the Church does not mandate a pastor’s message in the weekly parish bulletin and therefore most parishes do not have a weekly pastor’s message in their bulletin. The purpose of the parish bulletin is to share information with the parishioners about liturgical and non-liturgical activities in the parish. (Some parishes have a four- or six-page bulletin. Our parish has a twelve-page bulletin, the cost of which is completely covered by the ad payments that the bulletin vendor receives from the businesses that generously advertise in our bulletin.) Some pastors do choose to add a pastor’s message, even though it is not required. As pastor, I enjoy taking the time to write a weekly message, because I want to share additional information with you (even though I am not required to) -- about your parish, your diocese, the universal Church, and secular matters. As you can see, I do like trivia and I also love history. If you do not like trivia or the other contents of my weekly message, you are not required to read it. You can choose to skip page 3 and read only page 2 and pages 4 through 10 (plus the ads on pages 11 and 12). If you are looking for a weekly spiritual message (in addition to the homily at Mass), there are Catholic websites that will send you a weekly (or daily) spiritual message via e-mail. One such website is AmericanCatholic.org, which has various e-newsletters they can send you (for free), including “Minute Meditations” (daily) and “Saint of the Day” (daily). The website is operated by the Province of St. John the Baptist (headquartered in Cincinnati) of the Order of Friars Minor (O.F.M. Franciscans). That province is the publisher of St. Anthony Messenger magazine. A parishioner asked me if we will be sending a parish bus to the papal Mass in Philadelphia in September. I explained to them that Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., has probably received requests for blocks of tickets to the Mass from each of his fellow diocesan bishops of the other seven Latin Catholic dioceses and the two Eastern Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania (3,244,000 Catholics; 25% of the total population; as of August 2013), as well as those of the bordering states of Delaware (one diocese [including nine Maryland counties]; 240,000 Catholics; 18%), New Jersey (five Latin Catholic and two Eastern Catholic dioceses; 3,761,000 Catholics; 42%), New York (eight Latin Catholic and two Eastern Catholic dioceses, plus an Eastern Catholic exarchate; 7,111,000 Catholics; 35%), Ohio (six Latin Catholic and three Eastern Catholic dioceses; 1,964,000 Catholics; 17%), and Maryland (one diocese [consisting of only nine of the state’s 23 counties, plus the City of Baltimore]; 485,000 Catholics; 15%), plus the Archdiocese of Washington (District of Columbia and five Maryland counties; 630,000 Catholics; 22%). The combined Catholic population of the said thirty Latin Catholic dioceses is 17.4 million (out of a total population of 60.4 million). Even though there will be a finite number of tickets for the papal Mass, many Catholics without tickets will still attend, just like the six or seven million Catholics who went to the recent papal Mass in Manila (in the Philippines). In the January 25 bulletin (on page 9), our youth minister stated that our parish’s LifeTeen youth group will begin raising funds for a possible trip to the papal Mass. Today is World Marriage Day. Sponsored by Worldwide Marriage Encounter, the day “honors husband and wife as the foundation of the family, the basic unit of society. It salutes the beauty of their faithfulness, sacrifice and joy in daily married life.” This Wednesday, February 11, is the optional Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes and the 23rd annual World Day of the Sick. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for our sick relatives, friends, and fellow parishioners, and for us. God bless you. Fr. Chang Fr. Chang # 572 2-8-2015/ pub./ P. 3 The parish office will be closed on Monday, February 16, in observance of Presidents Day. CONFESSIONS: The will be no confessions on Tuesday, February 17 (Mardi Gras celebration) and Wednesday, February 18 (Ash Wednesday). Please also note that confessions during Fridays of Lent will start at approximately 8:15 pm, i.e, after the completion of the Stations of the Cross. MARDI GRAS On Tuesday, February 17, the Christmas Carol Festival committee will be hosting a Mardi Gras celebration. It will immediately follow the 7:00 pm Mass, in the All Purpose Room beneath St. Raphael Church. Come and enjoy various desserts, music, and dancing before the start of the Lenten season. MASS DURING SNOWSTORMS Our parish does not cancel Mass during a snowstorm, because the priests’ residence (in the rectory, along with the parish office) is near the church and a priest is able to walk through the snow to the church. Many parishes follow the same policy. Some parishes do cancel Mass due to snow or ice, but usually the priest’s residence in those parishes is in a separate building that is not near the church (and therefore it might be dangerous for the priest to attempt to drive to church). For the same reason, it is not a sin if you miss Mass (on a Sunday or holy day of obligation) when it is too dangerous to drive (e.g., snow or ice)--or when you are sick (in which case your fellow parishioners would prefer you stay home, so as to not share your germs…). From Monday, December 1, through Sunday, April 5— Holy Communion is being distributed under only one species (the Sacred Host) instead of both species (the Sacred Host and the Precious Blood), because of the flu season. Under the principle of concomitance, we receive all of Jesus—Body, Blood, soul, and divinity, whole and entire—under either species. Thus, we do not have to receive both species at Communion. HOLY NAME SOCIETY The monthly meeting of the Holy Name Society will be held on Wednesday, February 11, after the 7:00 pm Mass, in the parish center. There will be light refreshments afterward. REDISCOVER the LOVE in YOUR MARRIAGE The Retrouvaille Marriage Program offers help for struggling marriages.

These groups are designed to explore a priestly vocation with other like-minded men through prayer and sharing vocation stories and experiences.

They are designed to assist you in discovering if the priesthood is your true vocation and build your relationship with Christ along the way.

They show them how to obey God’s commandments and to live a Christian life of holiness. ”Excerpt from the U.S. Bishops’ Pastoral Letter entitled Marriage: Love and Life in the Divine Plan.

KINDERGARTEN TECH Kindergarten students recently learned how to create parabolic curves, using straight lines in Microsoft's paint program. The lesson reinforced skills such as, logging on to Windows 8 Professional Touch Screen computers, launching the start button, and searching for the “paint program.” After logon>start>paint, which the students opened, then the teacher provided the students with the templates for drawing the curve. After connecting the dots properly, a curvy checker flag appears. The students then used the “paint bucket” tool to complete the project with lively colors. # 572 2-8-2015/ pub./ P. 7 PRAYER for MARRIAGE Heavenly Father, we thank you for your tremendous gift of the Sacrament of Marriage. Enable us to grow in our intimacy with You and with each other. Teach us the beauty of forgiveness so we may become more and more one in heart, mind and body. Strengthen our communication with each other, and help us become living signs of your love. Help us to be examples of commitment. Love, and service to our families and children. Make us a sign of the unity which Jesus prays for at the Last Supper. We open ourselves to the guidance of your Holy Spirit, who empowers us to Love in Jesus’ name and walk in His footsteps. Amen FOOD PANTRY Won’t you help us to help our neighbors by considering a donation of a non-perishable food item each time that you come to Mass? In order to boost the nutritional value of the food that we distribute, we are in particular need of low-salt soups and canned vegetable, water-packed fish, low sugar cereals, fruit juice, canned fruits, dry and canned low salt beans and natural peanut butter. Healthy snacks (nuts, granola bars, etc.) are particularly needed. May God bless you for your generosity.

Valentines Day for broken hearted. “Praise The Lord Who Heals The Broken Hearted”, says the psalmist in this week’s readings. Good news for us, as we prepare to leave the season of Ordinary Time (only ten days to go) to get ready for the Lenten journey. Fresh from the secular bombardment of Valentines Day, and all that goes with it, we have been manipulated to think of the heart on a purely romantic level. And, in so doing, we tend to think of love as a purely romantic notion. Even the word “romance” has an odd connotation. Some define it as a relationship that involves love between two people. Others as a quality or feeling of excitement and mystery that can be associated with love, while still others talk of romance as a state that involves heroic and chivalric actions. Rarely do we see or hear of romance without hearing of love. Love has been heralded throughout our history as the ultimate goal for individuals and societies. That being said, it is no wonder that in many ways, everyone can identify with “the broken heart syndrome”. Only in our scriptures do we hear of love as a selfless act. “Greater love has no man than to lay down his life for another” or the radical commandment of Christ. “It has been said that there is no greater commandment than to love the Lord your God...and your neighbor as yourself...but I tell you love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you!” In this week’s readings, St. Paul tells us, he “has made himself a slave to all...to save some...for the sake of the gospel”. Job states that he is filled with restlessness and questions whether “man’s life on earth is nothing more than a drudgery?” Jobs fidelity is based upon the promise of the Lord. In this week’s gospel, Jesus is seen curing the sick, healing the broken hearted, preaching the good news, expelling demons and proclaiming, “for this purpose I have come”. The Church is a community of love. It continues the person and purpose of Christ in space and time. While it remains imperfect, it’s a incarnate state. It remains inviolable, without spot and wrinkle for Christ the Head of this mystical body. Let us prepare for our Lenten journey and join with St. Augustine, proclaiming that our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee O Lord and join with Mother Theresa who reminds us to give God permission. Come into my heart, Jesus, and heal me of all that is not of you so I better do your will. CALLED TO SERVE ? The Lord Is Calling Each One of Us...Is he calling you to help lead teens closer to Christ. Call Gez at 609 456 8857 right now to find out more how you might be of service to God and our youth.

We are preparing special programs, Taize ( a candle-lit service of spiritual song, prayer, and readings around the cross) and Tenebrae (a service of darkness depicting Christ’s passion and death) along with music for liturgies. If you are interested in becoming a part of this ministry, please see the times and dates for rehearsals at the bottom of this page. If you have any questions, please call Lori at 609 -462-2929. In today’s Gospel, the description of the “town” gathered outside Simon’s door, indicates that this a small village or an out of the way place. Jesus is going to the least of people in the least of places. As members of a music ministry, we are challenged to bring our song to people on the margins. For those who can no longer raise their voices in song or play an instrument because of illness or infirmity, may the song of the assembly be a source of comfort. We pray: God, our comfort and consolation, bless us with your presence today. Remain with us in the struggles of life and continue to strengthen us to serve. Let our song of rejoicing go on. May our witness to the Gospel never waiver when we face trials or suffering. Send your angels to watch over us, God bless you, Lori Hoos Music for Upcoming Liturgies Sun., February 15, 2015, 9:30 am - Choir All other Masses (except LifeTeen) are Keyboard/Cantor.
