3 THIRTY THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ~ NOVEMBER 13, 2016 FROM THE PASTOR S DESK For centuries Hungary has experienced the influence of many people whose complicated histories are difficult to untangle. Scythians and Greeks, Tartars, Huns, Avars and Pechenegs, Magyars, Ottoman Turks, Bosnians and Serbs, Germans and Austrians, Slavs and Croatians, Albanians and Dalmatians have all left their mark. This Wednesday and Thursday, the Church keeps the feast days of two saints with Hungarian connections, St. Margaret and St. Elizabeth. The parents of St. Margaret (c ) came to Hungary as refugees from Saxon England after her father, the King of Wessex, was forced to flee when Danes conquered his realm. There Margaret was born, received a fine education and became an artistically refined young woman. Soon after returning to England, where her father had prospects of regaining power that were frustrated by the Norman conquest, Margaret had to relocate to Scotland, where, in 1070, King Malcolm III, captivated by her beauty and intelligence, entered into a happy marriage with her, one that produced eight children. Margaret was deeply committed to her religion. She loved to read and pray, built several monasteries, saw to it that workers got Sundays off, and looked after the poor with extensive charity. Her husband greatly respected and wholly supported her efforts. In the words of her biographer Turgot, he saw that Christ truly dwelt in her heart. What she rejected, he rejected [and] what she loved, he for love of her loved too. Although Malcolm could not read, he admired the beautifully bound and illuminated books she used for her devotions, including volumes of the Gospels and the Psalms that still exist in Oxford libraries. The bodily remains of this remarkable royal couple had to be removed from Scotland in 1560 to escape desecration and now reside in a chapel of the Escorial near Madrid. Margaret is the patron saint of Scotland. her to be sent back to Hungary. Ludwig s response to this pressure was to say that he would rather lose a mountain of gold than lose Elizabeth. The couple had a very happy marriage that was blessed with three fine children. Elizabeth was devoutly prayerful and became renowned for her exceedingly generous work with the poor and with orphans. She built a hospital, where she personally fed the patients and made their beds. When her expenditures on behalf of the needy drew complaints, her husband reacted to the critics by saying: St. Elizabeth ( ), daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary, was betrothed to Ludwig, the future Landraf of Thuringia, when she was just four years old, and was sent to that royal family s castle in Wartburg to be raised. She married Ludwig when she was fourteen and he was twenty-one. Elizabeth was a strikingly beautiful girl with a warm personality and a generous disposition, but some members of the court opposed her, wanting Next week s collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) needs your help. CCHD was founded to break the cycle of poverty in the U.S. by funding organizations that help individuals help themselves. With the tradition of improving education, housing situations, and community economic development, CCHD continues to make a positive impact in communities nationwide. Your contribution will defend human dignity and reach out to those living on the margins. Please give to the CCHD Collection. Use your parish envelope or memo your check CCHD. As for her charities, they will bring upon us divine blessings. We shall not want as long as we let her relieve the poor as she does. After Ludwig died from the plague in 1227, Elizabeth became a Third Order Franciscan at Eisenach, where she lived in simplicity and continued her dedication to helping the sick, the poor and the elderly at a hospice she established there. She died when she was only twenty-four and was canonized just four years later. Fra Angelico, Piero della Francesca and Jan van Eyck all created paintings of her. Msgr.

5 THIRTY THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ~ NOVEMBER 13, 2016 Cardinal-elect Tobin speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese, and reads several other languages. He has participated in five Synods of Bishops, and has been a member of the Canon Law Society of America since He will serve as the Sixth Archbishop of Newark and will be formally installed January 6, from rcan.org (Website of Archdiocese of Newark) The Vatican announced Monday, November 7, 2016 that recently announced Cardinal-elect Archbishop Joseph William Tobin, C.Ss.R., of Indianapolis will soon take over as the new head of the Archdiocese of Newark. IN HIS OWN WORDS In his remarks following Archbishop Myers introduction, Cardinal-elect Tobin explained that there were three principals that will guide his ministry as he discerns with the people of this local Church of Newark the way forward. The criterion by which I want to be judged is whether, by word and actions, I led people to a deeper love for Jesus, who is the merciful face of God. My first conviction is that I am called to watch over the unity of this Archdiocese and to encourage in charity the journey of all toward an ever-greater knowledge, faith and love of Christ. My second conviction is that the love of Christ is made manifest through His Body, the Church. In describing the mission of the Church....The Holy Father outlined the tasks of the Archdiocese of Newark: to heal the wounded hearts, to open doors, to free [people] to say that God is good, God forgives all, that God is our Father, God is tender, that God is always waiting for us. Third, I believe that the Church in every age is challenged to reproduce the double miracle that accompanied her birth. The first miracle is dramatic: on the day of Pentecost, people from many lands heard the Good News proclaimed by the apostles, each in his or her own language. This miracle produced an abundant response of faith. The second miracle is understated but nonetheless wonderfully real. There is no evidence that the response of faith erased the richness of culture. The Parthians, Medes, Elamites and all those other tongue-twisting nationalities did not melt into some celestial pot. The first Christians retained the richness of their cultures while discovering a principle of unity. This principle is nothing less than the Holy Spirit. My service to the Church obliged me to live many years in cultures different from the Irish-American ambient of my family. So I am excited to lead an Archdiocese where the Eucharist is celebrated each Sunday in 20 languages. The Holy Spirit will help us prolong the double miracle of Pentecost. I invite the Faithful of the Archdiocese of Newark to pray for me, that in my service to you, I might speak of the Good News with such authenticity that you may recognize in my words the voice of the Good Shepherd. The son of the late Joseph W. Tobin and Marie Terese Kerwin, His Eminence, Joseph W. Tobin was born on May 3, 1952 in Detroit, MI. He is the oldest of 13 children. Joseph Tobin attended Holy Redeemer Elementary School in Detroit, and then graduated from St. Joseph s Prep College, Edgerton, WI in He continued his education at Holy Redeemer College, Waterford, WI, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy in From 1977 until 1979, he attended Mount Saint Alphonsus Seminary in Esopus, NY, earning Masters Degrees in Religious Education in 1977 and Divinity in In 1973, the Cardinal-elect professed vows as a member of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, the Redemptorists. In 1976, he professed perpetual vows with the Community. In 1978, he was ordained to both the diaconate and the priesthood. Between 1979 and 1984, Father Tobin served as associate pastor of Holy Redeemer Parish, Detroit, where he engaged in both pastoral ministry to the Hispanic community and youth ministry. In 1984, he was named pastor of Holy Redeemer Parish. He also served in a number of diocesan assignments within the Archdiocese of Detroit, including: Episcopal Vicar, member of the Presbyteral Council, and official in the Metropolitan Tribunal. From 1990 until 1991, he served as pastor of St. Alphonsus Parish in Chicago, a parish staffed in that Archdiocese by the Redemptorists. Within the Redemptorist Community, Father Tobin served as a Provincial Consultor from 1984 until 1990, as General Consultor of the Community in Rome from 1991 until 1997, and as Superior General of the Redemptorists in Rome from 1997 until On August 9, 2010, His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, named Father Tobin to the Roman Curia post of Secretary of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (CICLSA), and titular Archbishop of Obba. On October 18, 2012, Pope Benedict appointed him to serve as the Sixth Archbishop of Indianapolis. He was installed as Archbishop of Indianapolis on December 3, His Holiness, Pope Francis, named him to the College of Cardinals on October 9, (continued above) 5

6 SAINT JOSEPH CHURCH ORADELL/NEW MILFORD, NJ YEAR OF MERCY SERIES JOIN US FOR 3 SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS AT SAINT JOSEPH CHURCH 1. SAINT AUGUSTINE: Mercy in the Fathers of the Church NOVEMBER 15 Msgr. David Hubba with parishioner Ana Posadas will offer a presentation on Saint Augustine ( The Preacher of Mercy ) as we continue our Year of Mercy series. The beautiful witness of the Church s greatest early saints and their writings abundantly confirm the Scriptural examples of God s mercy. Pope Francis believes that we can learn to be more merciful through these saints experiences of mercy. The talk will take place on Tuesday, November 15 at 9:15 am in the Jackson Room (in the lower church). There is NO COST and everyone is welcome! 2. CORPORAL AND SPIRITUAL WORKS OF MERCY NOVEMBER 19 Jesus asks us to follow him by identifying with and showing compassion to people most in need. Saint Joseph s Social Concerns Committee will present "The Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy" in conjunction with the Legion of Mary's Third Saturday Prayer on Saturday, November 19 after the Mass in Mary's Chapel. There is NO COST and all are welcome! 3. PARABLES OF MERCY NOVEMBER 26 Parishioners Dana and Barry Celestine invite us to see the Parables of Mercy (the prodigal son, the lost sheep, the rich man and Lazarus) in a new way, recognizing ourselves in the stories, on Saturday, November 26 after the Mass in Mary s Chapel. The presentation is free and open to all. Please come! Through personal reflection we will see that mercy is a powerful force that overcomes all and fills our hearts with God s pardon and love for us. PLEASE COME! INTERFAITH THANKSGIVING PRAYER SERVICE NOVEMBER 20 The annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Prayer Service will be held this year on Sunday, November 20 at 4:00 pm at Grace Lutheran Church (925 Fifth Avenue, River Edge). Saint Joseph will join Grace Lutheran and other houses of worship in our area to offer thanks to God for all our blessings. Help represent Saint Joseph at this beautiful prayer service that has become a very special tradition in our community. 6 PARISH FACILITIES UPDATE To keep you informed about all the exciting things happening with our parish facilities, Director Tom Meli will be sharing the latest info every month. Here is his first report. STAINED GLASS WINDOWS The repair and restoration of our beautiful windows is well underway. The reframing of the windows in the nave of the church has been completed along with the replacement of the clear protective glass. This now allows for the nave s stained glass windows to be reinstalled one by one. The next step will be the small windows at the top of the sanctuary (the Prophets) and then the windows in the sacristies. The final stage will be the large rose window and triptych in the choir loft. Bovard Studios plans to have all the work completed by Advent. SOUND SYSTEM in UPPER CHURCH The second project we are undertaking (with thanks to the generous donors of the We Are Living Stones capital campaign), is the replacement of our almost thirty-year-old sound system in the upper church. Monte Bros. Inc., which specializes in the design and installation of high quality sound systems in worship spaces, has already replaced some of the interior components of our system which should help to improve sound quality and eliminate feedback or sound drop off. After Christmas, speakers, exterior wiring and microphones will also be replaced. PAINTING of UPPER CHURCH Also after Christmas, the nave of the upper church will be freshly painted. The sanctuary (altar area) and Grand Street entryway have already been completed. A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO REMEMBER Looking for a special gift? Or a way to YOUR LOVED ONE S NAME remember a loved one? Or something to record a special event (birth, Baptism, First Communion, Marriage) in the life of your family? A personalized engraved paver placed in our Commemorative Path (beside the church) or in our Garden of Saints (behind the parish office/rectory) may be just the answer. In the Garden we have shrines to Saints Francis of Assisi, Anthony of Padua, Joseph, Therese the Little Flower, and Jude. (We hope to include Saint Patrick in the near future.) Your brick can be placed in front of the saint of your choice. The donation for each brick is $125. Pick up an order form in the literature racks in the church or in the parish office/rectory and return it to 105 Harrison St., New Milford. Engraved bricks will be installed in the spring.
