Dear Parishioners,
I remember during my first Christmas in the
United States how weird it was to receive presents on
December 25th as growing up in the Dominican
Republic we used to exchange presents on January 6th,
the Feast of the Epiphany. Today I thought it would be
interesting to look at the different ways other cultures
around the world celebrate this feast.
What follows is an excerpt from an article by
Adelaide Mena, “What to know the history behind the
Feast of Epiphany?”
In Italy, La Befana brings sweets and
presents to children not on Christmas, but on
Epiphany. Children in many parts of Latin
America, the Philippines, Portugal, and Spain
also receive their presents on “Three Kings
Day.”
Meanwhile, in Ireland, Catholics
celebrate “Women's Christmas” – where
women rest from housework and cleaning and
celebrate together with a special meal.
Epiphany in Poland is marked by taking chalk
– along with gold, incense and amber – to be
blessed at Mass. Back at home, families will
inscribe the first part of the year, followed by
the letters, “K+M+B+” and then the last
numbers of the year on top of every door in the
house.
The letters…stand for the names
traditionally given to the wise men – Casper,
Melchior and Balthazar – as well as for the
Latin phrase “Christus mansionem benedicat,”
or, “Christ, bless this house.”
In nearly every part of the world,
Catholics celebrate Epiphany with a Kings
Cake: a sweet cake that sometimes contains an
object like a figurine or a lone nut. In some
locations lucky recipient of this prize either
gets special treatment for the day, or they must
then hold a party at the close of the traditional
Epiphany season on February 2nd.
In Christ,
Fr. Juan Jose

THANK YOU,
ST. AL’S PARISHIONERS,

GIVING.
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR
GIVING TREE ANGELS
WHO MADE CHRISTMAS
POSSIBLE FOR SO MANY.
THANK YOU ALSO FOR
KEEPING OUR FOOD
PANTRY FILLED FOR THE
MANY LOCAL FAMILIES
THAT ARE IN NEED.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
DO YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES A DAY?
DO YOU WORRY ABOUT
OUR WORLD TODAY?
We would like to invite you to become part of the
LIVING ROSARY. This activity was started at
Saint Aloysius Parish a number of years ago as a
means of joining our prayers together to pray for
peace in our country and for all our special intentions.
It is also in response to people’s needs for greater
spiritual growth. At this time we have several teams
of 5 members each participating in our living rosary.
It is a power house of prayer!
This activity may be taken on by anyone. Families
can participate, the home bound can become part of
the Living Rosary; persons on their way to work can
join also. There are no meetings to attend.
What is necessary to become
part of the Living Rosary is a
commitment to say one decade
of the Rosary each day. You
then become a member of a
team who together says the
entire rosary each day. It is
said for the intentions of those
members comprising the
Living Rosary and for the specific and special
intentions of our parish. It can be done at home, in
the car, on the train, and any time of your day.
The Rosary has been used for centuries for world
peace, against the heresy of the times, during the Nazi
occupation of Poland and at many other times. This is
a simple devotion, parish oriented, that demands little
of its members and produces great spiritual results.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the
LIVING ROSARY. Please fill out the form below
and put it in the collection basket, drop it off at the
rectory or the parish center, or call Dee Taylor
at 973-226-0209 x 32. We will then contact you to
coordinate the groups and mysteries of the Rosary.
I am interested in becoming a member of the Living
Rosary:
