t that time, Jesus
went into a city called Naim; and there went with Him His disciples, and a great multitude. And when He came nigh to the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and much people of the city were with her. And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her, and said to her: Weep not. And He came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it stood still. And He said: Young man, I say to thee, Arise: and he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And He delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up amongst us, and God hath visited His people.

It will be located on the parish grounds at 178 W. White Horse Pike, Berlin, New Jersey.
Join us after both Masses for our next Breakfast!!
Sunday, October 15 Pancake Breakfast
Enjoy a great meal with friends! We will be serving pancakes,
farm-fresh eggs, fresh oven-roasted potatoes,
sausage, pastries, toast and more!
Beverages include coffee, tea and juice.
Tickets available at the door:
Ages 12 and up: $8.
Children to age 11: $5.
Families: $30.
All proceeds benefit Mater Ecclesiae.
Please note: We regret that we have to increase the cost of our breakfast. This is the first increase since 2012,
even though the price of food has been increasing steadily over the years. But even with the small
increase, it is still a bargain to have a delicious fresh cooked, home-made breakfast when compared to
fast-food eateries and diners.
Could God be calling you to the Priesthood?
Come, consider the call. Father Michael Romano, Director of Vocations, is hosting a “Young Adult Priesthood Discernment Group” at Our Lady of Peace Parish Offices, 32 Carroll Avenue, Williamstown, NJ. If you are currently a junior or senior in high school, college student or in the professional world (up to 39 years old), and feel the possible call to the priesthood, this group can help you discern and pray with others who are also considering the priesthood. All meetings are on Sundays from 2:00-3:30 P.M. The schedule is as follows:
September 17, 2017 January 14, 2017 October 15, 2017 February 11, 2017 November 12, 2017 March 11, 2017
April 15, 2017

EMBER DAYS
Days of Fasting and Penance
Ember Days are on the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday following the First Sunday in Lent and Pentecost Sunday, during the third full week of September, and after the Third Sunday of Advent.
They are days of fasting for the special sanctification of the four seasons and for obtaining God’s blessing on the clergy, for whose ordination the Ember Saturdays are specially set apart. The Propers of the Masses reflect the Season in which they occur and include additional Lessons said before the Gospel.

LESSON TWENTY-SIXTH:
On Matrimony
Q. 1049. May persons receive the Sacrament of Matrimony more than once?
A. Persons may receive the sacrament of Matrimony more than once, provided they are certain of the death of the former husband or wife and comply with the laws of the Church.
Q. 1050. Where and at what time of the day should Catholics be married?
A. Catholics should be married before the altar in the Church. They should be married in the morning, and with a Nuptial Mass if possible.
Q. 1051. What must never be forgotten by those who attend a marriage ceremony in the Church?
A. They who attend a marriage ceremony in the Church must never forget the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, and that all laughing, talking, or irreverence is forbidden then as at other times. Women must never enter into the presence of the Blessed Sacrament with uncovered heads, and their dress must be in keeping with the strict modesty that Our Lord's presence demands, no matter what worldly vanity or social manners may require.
