PARISH’S SACRAMENTAL AND PRAYER LIFE
“For this reason a man shall leave his father
and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So
they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together,
no human being must separate.”
(Matthew 19:5-6)
We congratulate those
who celebrated the Sacrament of Marriage in our church last weekend:
Chad Michael Flynn and Jennifer Danielle

“Is anyone among you
suffering? They should pray . . . Is
anyone among you sick? They should summon the presbyters of the church, and
they should pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.”

Pray for the sick:

September Stress
Traditionally
everything seems to begin again this month and with it comes lots of stress and
anxiety. If you are looking for a few
minutes of peace and calm each day, please join us at the 12:10 p.m. Mass. Our Noon Masses began again on Sept. 1 and will
continue each day until June 30, 2011.
If the midday time works for you, there is no better way to refresh and
renew for these hectic times.

interested in serving on an Alpha Team this year needs to come to an information

Christian Formation this year and/or have been attending a Catholic school need

Fall Scripture
Our fall study will begin on October
5, with classes on Tuesday afternoons at 1:00 p.m., Tuesday evenings at 7:15
p.m., Thursday morning at 9:15 a.m. and Sunday evening at 7:15 p.m. All are welcome to join in this learning and
discussion. Each class is about 90 minutes and each session is 6 weeks
long.
Our topic this fall will be Types of
Christ in the Hebrew Scriptures. It is
always a wonderful gift to give ourselves the time to read and reflect on the
Sacred Word. To register, contact
Jan.Figenshu@svmnj.org or 973-377-4000 ext 253.
Family Christian Formation
Registrations are currently being
accepted for children from Kindergarten – eighth grade into the Christian Faith
Formation Program. Please come by the office for a form and brochure or call
973-377-4000, ext 252. All paperwork should be submitted to the office by
September 10.
Are you looking for a way to share
your gift of faith? Then prayerfully consider being a catechist in the
Christian Faith Formation Program.
A catechist is a person who
facilitates the process of religious formation as an instructor, leader and
role model. A catechist has an understanding of Catholic teaching, Scripture
and Catholic Tradition. This role is a volunteer ministerial one in which a
person has made a commitment to the Church’s liturgical and sacramental life.
They are able to effectively build strength of character based on moral
teachings and the life of Christ. A catechist helps the desire of faith to grow
in each child uniquely through their generosity of spirit and love of the Lord.
A catechist enjoys working with children, demonstrates patience and kindness,
and has creativity. Does this sound like you or someone you know?
One can
offer their services regularly or on an as needed basis to our programs on
Sundays and/or Monday, with children in grades from Pre-Kindergarten through
eighth grade. Training and direction is available, and so are the materials to
instruct. Help is provided so we are asking for yours! Contact Denise
Stefanelli for further information at (973)377-4000 ext 251 or denise.stefanelli@svmnj.org. Thank you in advance
for your consideration.
MINISTRY
Liturgy Committee
The Liturgy
Committee will meet on Monday, September 12 at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish Media
Center. Please let Jan
know if you CANNOT attend.
Interested in Becoming a Catholic?
Want to join our Church? Do
you have questions about the Catholic Faith?
Have you been attending Mass for
years but never been Baptized or initiated into the Catholic Community?
Are members of your family or
friends Catholic and you are curious about their faith?
If any of
these questions describe your situation, you might want to join our RCIA Inquiry this fall. The
Inquiry Period is a time to formally ask questions of our faith
community. What do Catholics believe? Why? Who is God?
How is God active in my life? What does it mean to be a member of the
community? How can I pray?
In the Inquiry stage you are just finding out about Jesus,
Christianity and the Catholic Church. What if you are not sure that you
want to become Catholic? That’s fine, too! RCIA begins with
Inquiry. At the end of inquiry, you decide if you want to learn more
about the Catholic Faith. This is the beginning of a search for answers and
information about how God is working in your life.
RCIA
Inquiry for those
thinking about joining the Catholic Church is offered by our parish
community. These are informal weekly sessions that provide opportunities
for the inquirer to ask his/her questions about the Catholic faith. A
team of staff and volunteers from the parish community, along with other
inquirers, are ready and willing to explore these questions with you. Drop-ins
are always welcome. RCIA
Inquiry sessions will begin on Thursday Sept. 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the Media Center
of our Parish Center (2nd Floor) and will continue every Thursday
for the month of September. For more information, please contact Jan
Figenshu at 973-377-4000 ext. 253 or Jan.Figenshu@svmnj.org.
Bereavement Ministry
Blessed
are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted. To support and rejuvenate the
spirit, a fall social is planned for September 12 from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. for
those who have experienced the recent significant loss of a loved one. The
informal gathering at St. Vincent’s Ministry
Center will be an
opportunity to join together with others in similar circumstances. Family
members and friends are welcome to accompany participants. If a neighbor,
friend or co-worker may benefit from such a gathering, please bring this to
his/her attention. All are welcome. RSVP to Jan Figenshu, ext 253 by September
5.
SERVICE
Annual Baby Shower
Our annual baby shower is approaching. A bassinet will be
located in the church vestibule with tags for requested items starting next
weekend. We ask that all items be returned the weekend of October 2/3. Please
do not leave items in the vestibule before the date.
Habitat for Humanity Work Day
Thank You to Volunteers!
On Wednesday, August
25, 18 volunteers from the Grace Episcopal and St. Vincent Martyr
Churches joined forces to
help build two Habitat for Humanity Morristown homes. Tasks were varied and
matched to skill levels. They included painting, woodworking, drainage grading
and cement work.
Thank you to all those who participated and the feedback, which
supports the continuation of this joint interfaith social outreach program.
