From the Pastor

4th Sunday of Advent - B

December 24, 2017

Today’s bulletin article is like ‘part two’ of last week’s article [go to our parish website for past

bulletins] which showed how the Holy Family can

help our families have the most perfect Christmas possible - IF we try to learn from their example and strive to imitate their virtues. Sometimes a ‘double dose’ is needed to knock out a persistent problem. And just as those who have a heart transplant must be on strong medication every day for the rest of their life, those who want to have a ‘new heart’ in dealing with their family need daily, heavy-duty doses of God’s grace! Here are the orations for Masses ‘For the Family.’

Collect - For the Family

O God, in whose eternal design family life has its firm foundation, look with compassion

on the prayers of your servants and grant that, following the example

of the Holy Family of your Only Begotten Son in practicing the virtues of family life and in the

bonds of charity, we may, in the joy of your house, delight one day in eternal rewards.

Though our Lord Jesus Christ … and ever. Amen.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. One reason Holy

Mother Church offers her children the example of the Saints is to give us practical role models to follow. While it is true that the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph received special graces, and that Jesus is in a unique category unto Himself, the Holy Family also faced particular situations none of us will ever be asked to accept, let alone accomplish. So instead of looking at the ‘particulars’ that make our families unlike the Holy Family, we should look at it from the perspective of the Creator of family life.

For God would never plan something without giving us the means and help we need to fulfill it. In his 2015 talk at the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, Pope Francis gave three ‘simple’ virtues needed for a holy family life; they are “… being always willing to say: 1) May I?; 2) Thank you, and; 3) Pardon me [aka Will you forgive me?].” Good virtues to practice in 2018!

Prayer over the Offerings - For the Family

We offer you, Lord, the sacrifice of conciliation, humbly asking that you may establish our

families firmly in your grace and your peace. Who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

WE NEED GOD’S GRACE. As they say, “the more things change, the more they stay the same” - and the same is sadly true for human nature. We still fall into the ‘Original Sin’ of pride and disobedience: pride, because we insist that we know better than God; disobedience, because we refuse to live by God’s ways. Yet some pray God will ‘fix’ their ‘broken’ family … but do little, if anything, to firmly establish their family on God’s grace and peace!

Jesus never said family life - or anything else - would be easy; in fact, as He once said, “For human beings [it] is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” [Matthew 19:26] Will we use the divine directions God gives us for our own good and the good of our family … or will we try to go at it as the ‘first’ family, Adam and Eve, did: without using God’s gracious gifts?

Prayer after Communion - For the Family

Bring those you refresh with this heavenly Sacrament, most merciful Father,

to imitate constantly the example of the Holy Family of your Only Begotten Son,

so that, after the trials of this world, they may share their company for ever.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

BECOME WHAT YOU RECEIVE. The gift of the

Eucharist is, perhaps, the best tool for building or rebuilding our families. For by being properly disposed to receive Christ’s Sacred Body and Precious Blood, we have the best chance to become what we receive! And the unequaled graces of the Blessed Sacrament can empower us to do great things, things we could never do on our own, without God’s help. As we celebrate Christ’s coming to live with us 2,000 years ago, take time to receive Him anew each week in the great gift of Eucharist. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, pray for us! Merry Christmas!

With God’s love and my prayers,

Very Rev. Michael J. Kreder, KHS

CHRISTMAS EVE MASS SCHEDULE Sunday, December 24th

at 10:00 pm

CHRISTMAS DAY Monday - December 25th

8am – 10am – 12noon

STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE Each year, people throughout the world make NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS. For many they are short lived and quickly forgotten. At our BAPTISM and CONFIRMATION, we make NEW LIFE RESOLUTIONS. Our Baptismal promises are lifelong commitments to Jesus and the Church. We recognize that all that we possess comes from God. We are GOD’S STEWARDS - we have been empowered to manage the abundant gifts that we have received. As “GOOD STEWARDS” it is our responsibility to give back a portion of the time, talent, and treasure we receive from our generous and loving God. Let us RECOMMIT OURSELVES TO THE LORD by taking the time to plan and make stewardship of time and talent part of our lifestyle and stewardship of treasure part of our budget. “Everyone must give according to what he has inwardly decided; not sadly, not grudgingly, for God loves a cheerful giver.” {2 Cor. 9:7}

PARKING FOR SUNDAY AND CHRISTMAS MASSES

Just a reminder! If parked in the lot in the section with double parking, please pull all the way through so others may use the second space. We will have Auxiliary police at our Christmas Eve Masses directing cars in and out of the parking lot. Those coming for the 4:30pm and 6:00pm Christmas Eve Masses - PLEASE remember that NO cars will be allowed in the lot until cars from previous Mass have left the lot.

SECOND COLLECTION

The FIRST COLLECTION on CHRISTMAS will be for your

Christmas Gift to the Church and the SECOND

collection for your regular weekly offering. Though

some disdain this financial talk the reality is: the

Church needs your regular support and it needs your

active, physical presence, for without you and your

support, we could not ‘be Church’ or make ends

meet. As you consider your Christmas gift to your

parish, I ask you to check if your place of employment

or retirement has a “matching gift” policy; this is a

wonderful way to increase your sacrificial offering to

your church! As always, I am grateful for your

generosity, your concern and your interest.

2018 CALENDARS Thanks to the generosity of CALHOUN MANIA FUNERAL HOME (201) 939-1050 AND MACAGNA DIFFILY ONORATO FUNERAL HOME (201) 939-0098. The 2018 Calendars are available at the Front Doors of the Church.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT First Reading: 2 Samuel 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16 King David plans to build a temple to honor God. But God tells Nathan the Prophet that instead he will give David rest from his enemies, and ensure that both his house and community will be protected forever. Second Reading: Romans 16:25-27 In this letter of Paul to the Romans, he explains that the gospel reveals the mystery that had been hidden for many ages. Now it has been made known to all, so that they may believe, obey, and give glory through Jesus Christ forever. Gospel: Luke 1:26-38 The Virgin Mary is approached by the angel Gabriel, who tells her that she has been chosen to bear the Son of God. Mary is first afraid, yet shows her unquestioning faith when she simply says, “Let it be done to me as you say.”

WE ARE STILL

‘RECAPTURING THE DREAM.’

RECENT PROJECTS. In my 33rd year of

Ordained Priesthood, my 21st year as your Pastor,

and in the 6th year of our ‘new’ church, I still have

not tired or gotten bored with the often

mundane tasks of over-seeing such a large Parish

with two Schools and numerous Parish

programs. [Though I must admit: getting up

before the crack of dawn, especially in these dark

mornings, is starting to take a toll on me.]

However, with so many people actively involved

in our Parish, who so willingly give of themselves

to do so much, and with so many generous

benefactors - I cannot complain! As is my custom,

allow me to update you on what’s been going

on, what is happening now, and what, with

God’s blessing, we hope to accomplish in the

new year.

NEW ETCHED GLASS CHURCH DOORS. A

few months ago, the six doors between the

narthex and the church were replaced with

etched glass. The doors are adorned with images

of the four Evangelists: Saints Matthew, Mark,

Luke and John, and the two princely Apostles:

Saints Peter and Paul. Four have been donated;

the other two are available for memorialization;

contact the Parish Office for more information. I

will present a special bulletin insert with the

donors’ names and intentions when they are all

memorialized.

THE ACADEMY OF SAINT MARY. Almost a

year ago, the Archdiocese of Newark’s School’s

Office assumed full responsibility for the ASM.

They are now in charge of finances, hiring and

firing, the curriculum, etc., the Parish maintains

responsibility for the spiritual life and the

building and structure. Please pray for and

encourage new admissions - without which all

Catholics Schools are in danger of closing.

SAINT MARY HIGH SCHOOL. We have hired a

fulltime Admissions Director, and continue to

seek new enrollment. Gael pride is as high as

ever, and our faculty and staff are committed to

Catholic Education. All alumni should contact

Mike Sheridan [1977] to join the Development

and Alumni Association. This group has been

working hard to raise and offer scholarships - and

they need your help. The SMHS gym and

auditorium [cost: $30,000 + installation!] are

being refitted with LED lighting.

RELIGIOUS FORMATION. We are one of the

pilot Parishes for the “RENEW’ type-program, “Be

My Witness,” which was developed by ‘RENEW

INTERNATIONAL. [The ‘original’ ‘RENEW’ was

formed in our own Archdiocese back in the

1970’s.] ’ Under Mary Kay’s watch and directed

by Milissa Else, ‘these adult faith sharing groups

will be formed for Lent; watch for details.

PARKING LOT EXPANSION. Last September,

the Parish purchased another property: 99 Home

Avenue, which is adjacent to the current parking

lot. We are receiving bids to demolish the house,

clear the lot, and eventually add a few more

parking spaces. As we did last time we

purchased a property for this purpose, we will

‘stone’ it so it can be used for parking until we

more permanently make it an addition to our

desperately small parking area. Thanks to Ken,

Sheila McPherson and Bernadette Innis from

Walters, McPherson, McNeill Law Firm for their

services.

I have conceded the battle over the small pole

lights outside the church plaza; they have been

knocked down by careless drivers all too often.

The light pole by the playground area is being

replaced with a higher, stronger, LED lamp.

Lastly, I ask your prayers for me, for our great

Parish, for our Deanery 7 which I serve as Dean,

thus my ‘title’ “Very Reverend,” for all the Priests

and People of the Archdiocese of Newark, and

for His Eminence John Cardinal Tobin, who

celebrates his first anniversary as our Archbishop

on January 6, 2018. May the joy of Christmas

bring hope to all Christians suffering

discrimination or violence throughout our world,

and to our brave men and women in the military

and law enforcement who defend us against

terrorism and all threats.

Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year 2018!

Very Rev. Michael J. Kreder, KHS, Pastor

All School-Aged Children

Dates for Religious Formation Classes (CCD) will

be announced in the bulletin in the New Year.

Previously registered families will receive an e-

mail with directions and dates for registration for

all sessions Summer/Sunday/Wednesday.

As always, enrollment options depend

on the number of Catechists available!

Summer CCD Registration

To be admitted to this special summer ‘crash-

course,’ the family MUST attend weekly Mass and

proof of attendance is required. Our summer

program provides classes for children going into

all Grades, 1-8, in September 2018.

Sunday and Wednesday classes; to qualify for the

early registration discount, all data and fees must

Become a Catechist or Aide

One of the best ways to learn about your

Catholic Faith is to share it with and teach it to

others; it is truly very easy with children as our

books guide you through the process. Is God

calling YOU to be a Catechist or Aide?

Marriage Preparation

Marriage plans should be made at least one year

before the wedding; couples should make NO

other plans until they meet with a Priest or

Deacon. Call the parish office for a Marriage

Policy Handbook and the required Engaged

Encounter - or Pre-Cana Conference and God’s

Plan for a Joyful Marriage - registration materials.

Parish Registration

All Roman Catholics living within our parish

boundaries or who regularly worship here

should officially register; if you did NOT receive a

Christmas mailing, you may not be registered!

Obtain a registration form from a Priest or

Deacon after Mass or during the week at the

parish office or online on our website at:

www.stmaryrutherford.org

We strongly encourage you to register, even if

you do not plan to use envelopes, so you can be

on our mailing list. Only registered members of

the parish, who fulfill all other canonical [Church

Law] requirements are eligible to obtain Sponsor

[Godparent] Certificates, letters of

recommendation or other documentation.

Baptismal Preparation Class

Expectant parents should call the parish office

during pregnancy to register for the mandatory

Pre-Baptism Class. Godparents are strongly

encouraged to attend, and others are welcome.

Upon registration, a Parish Baptismal Policy

Booklet is sent to you to read before choosing

godparents or attending the class. Be sure your

proposed sponsor fulfills all requirements before

asking them; we strictly follow all mandatory

Church requirements in determining a

godparent’s or sponsor’s eligibility.

Godparent [Sponsor] Requirements

Church law states that Godparents/Sponsors must:

* be a Baptized and Confirmed Catholic who

attends weekly Mass and receives Eucharist

* be at least 16 years of age [exceptions possible]

* NOT be one of the parents

* lead a moral life in keeping with Church teaching,

and be a good Catholic role model

* if married, be married according to Church law

* be a registered member of their own current

parish from which they must obtain an eligibility

certificate; we can only give eligibility certificates

to those registered in our parish.

Since only one Catholic Godparent is required, a

baptized member of another Christian church [but

not a Catholic or former Catholic] may serve as a

Christian Witness. Since Godparents renew their

baptismal promises during the Rite of Baptism, a

non-baptized person cannot serve in this role.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

[RCIA]

To become a Roman Catholic or complete your

Initiation into the Church, join the RCIA!

Through weekly sessions, non-Christian adults

are prepared for Baptism, Confirmation & First

Eucharist and baptized non-Catholics for

Confirmation & First Eucharist, which occurs at

Easter. We also prepare Adult Catholics for First

Eucharist and/or Confirmation. For more info,

contact Mary Kay Benjamin. Pray for our

Catechumens, Sachiko Niiya and Amy Sun, slated

for Baptism in 2019, and our Candidates, who

are already Baptized and will be fully initiated

this Easter: David Dombrowski, Steve Martinez,

Rosenny Pena and Raymondy Ramothibe.

Pastoral Care of the Sick and Dying

Contact the Catholic chaplain via the hospital’s

Pastoral Care Office upon admission; chaplains

are forbidden by law from viewing hospital

rosters, so you must contact them. Parish

ministers try to visit area hospitals; if you or a

loved one is hospitalized, call the parish office

and give the patient’s name, hospital, room

number and other pertinent information.

Altar Guild/Church Cleaners

A number of wonderful parishioners offer their

services each week to keep our church looking as

God’s House should look. As you can imagine,

the work is never done! To join and assist them,

leave your name and phone number at the Parish

Office: Attn: Altar Guild.

Divorce & Remarriage

Annulments & Declarations of Nullity

Are you confused about Church teaching on

divorce, annulment and remarriage? A VALID

marriage must be freely, truthfully entered into

by a couple who knows each other as best as

possible and intend to fulfill the ideals of

marriage. If the bride or groom is CATHOLIC, the

marriage MUST be performed in a CATHOLIC

church, by a VALID CATHOLIC PRIEST or

DEACON, according to CATHOLIC rites or with

EXPLICIT PERMISSION elsewhere and/or by

another officiant with permission. If a Catholic is

married in any other way, that marriage may be

INVALID and may be ‘con-validated’ by a Priest or

Deacon – IF there are no invalidating factors like

a previous valid marriage. Catholics in invalid

marriages may not receive Eucharist or be

Godparents, but they are NOT excommunicated.

An invalid marriage may also be declared NULL if

it did not take place properly; the fee for a

Declaration of Nullity, usually granted quickly, is

$75. Necessary documentation: a copy of the

current marriage license, a new copy of each

Catholic’s baptismal certificate, the proper forms

completed by a Priest/Deacon, and fee.

When a valid marriage ends in civil divorce,

divorced or separated Catholics MAY receive

Holy Communion, serve as sponsors, etc. Their

status only changes if they enter another

marriage before the previous marriage is

officially declared NULL or is ANNULED.

An annulment does NOT say a marriage never

took place, which denies reality; it declares a

marriage non-binding since it was not properly

entered into: one or both parties were not free,

truthful or lacked full awareness of self or the

other; the ideals of marriage were not

understood; etc. A marriage performed by a

valid Priest or Deacon [not a so-called ‘rent-a-

priest’ - usually a former Priest who hires himself

out for an exorbitant fee!] or the marriage

between two non-Catholics is presumed VALID

and needs a CATHOLIC ANNULMENT to be

dissolved. The fee for an annulment is $550;

financial difficulty will not stop the process,

which usually takes at least a year. Please speak

to a Priest or Deacon for clarification. Every

Catholic in a broken marriage is strongly urged

to seek guidance on this important issue.

For more info, speak to a Priest or Deacon or

contact the Marriage Tribunal at 973-497-4145

or the archdiocesan website, www.rcan.org. In

Christian charity, please pass this info on to those

who need the truth, who need the facts, but who

do not need hearsay, misinformation or other

well-intended, though often harmful, help.

Strongly encourage those in these situations to

speak to a Priest or Deacon.

Mardi Gras Pot-Luck Supper + Tuesday, February 13 + 6:00 PM - 8:00PM

Watch the bulletin for info on this annual pot-

luck supper, fun & games, magician & music,

Night Prayer and church preparation for Lent.

Ash Wednesday: February 14, 2018

On Ash Wednesday, the burnt remains of last

year’s palms, which you are invited to bring back

in February, will be distributed during:

Mass at 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM -

12:00 noon - 7:00 PM

and during a Liturgy of the Word

for Children at 4:00 PM

Is God Remembered in Your Will?

While concern for our own needs and the needs

of others may keep us from tithing a full 10%

now, most should be able to reach this goal in

their will. Will God and your parish be

remembered when you are gone … in your will?

Dates of Easter & Ash Wednesday

Easter is [roughly] the 1st Sunday after the 1st full

moon after the vernal equinox or arrival of

spring. The earliest possible Easter date is March

22, which most recently occurred in 1573, 1668,

1761 & 1818; it will next occur in 2285 - which

none of us will be here to see. The latest possible

Easter date is April 25, which most recently

occurred in 1546, 1641, 1736, 1886 & 1943; it

will next occur in 2038. Once Easter is set, we

know Ash Wednesday’s date. The earliest Ash

Wednesday can be is February 4; its latest date is

March 10. Now you know!
