MINISTRY NEWS
CALL FOR BABYSITTERS The MOMS group is currently seeking
able-bodied parishioners to care for
children in the Little Flower classrooms during our bi-
weekly Wednesday morning meetings, which last
about 2 hours. If you can babysit at least twice a year
to give moms a well-deserved spiritual rejuvenation,
please call the rectory or come to our next MOMS
meeting so you can see how you would be a right
fit for our ministry. We need YOU!
On Saturday, October 15, at 10:00 am, the MOMS
Ministry will be hosting a playdate. Please join us
at the lower playground at Columbia Middle
School on Plainfield Avenue. Kids can play and
moms can chat.

Altar Linens Preparation Ministry
Two ladies from Little Flower prepare the
Altar Linens, rotating every other week. This
“Labor of Love”, done in the privacy of one’s own
home, consists of soaking linens, then washing and
ironing. A brief training will be offered. We are
looking to grow this ministry and to share the
Blessings. Several volunteers are desperately needed
to join us. Each person will rotate every six to eight
weeks depending on the number of angels who say
“yes” to this calling to share our time for our Faith.
This at-home ministry is a perfect opportunity for
people who want to serve the parish amidst a busy
schedule. If you feel the call, please contact Margaret

New Jersey’s Adoption Law has changed Beginning January 1, 2017, adoptees and certain relatives
will be able to obtain a copy of their original birth
certificate without a court order. The birth certificate will
include the names of the birth parents who placed children
for adoption unless a birth parent requests his/her name
be omitted.
Birth parents who wish to preserve their privacy must
submit a Redaction Request Form to the New Jersey
Department of Health no later than December 31, 2016.
The Redaction Request Form can be obtained by calling
866-649-8726, ext. 582 or downloading it at
http://nj.gov/health/forms/reg-36c.pdf.
The Catholic Church has always supported reunions
between adoptees and birth parents, if such reunions were
by mutual consent. The Church continues to do so through
their Catholic Charities agencies.
If you know individuals who could be effected by the
changes to New Jersey Adoption law, please help alert
them. Anyone needing assistance can call a HELPLINE
at 609-989-4809.
