One of the most important places to do that is during the Saturday evening/sunday liturgy. We are looking for boys and girls in Grade 4 and up to be Altar Servers. We will have a training session on Saturday, November 5 at 11am in the Church. During this training session, we will teach them how to be an altar server, why it is an important role at Mass, and talk about some of the things that happen during the liturgy. Once they are trained, they will be able to serve at any of the Masses that you attend. If you are interested, please Kristen Gawlik - kristen@stmarysnutley.org with the name of your son or daughter, their grade, a contact number, and what Mass you normally attend. Food Drive Update: Pantry On Sunday, September 25 th, the Parish Pantry took part in the yearly Mend Food Drive. We were very successful and our Parish Pantry supplies have been replenished. We must first thank Nutley Park Shop Rite for their constant support of this event. We are lucky in Nutley to have such a good neighbor. We had dedicated volunteers who helped and sacrificed a beautiful afternoon to distribute flyers to the patrons. They were Andrew Blaskewicz, John Sayson, Helen Donohue, Gen Mc Cutcheon, Pat Rush, Lena Bellapianta, Gail Ferrara, Anna Balagia, Cirill Balangia, Tony Castillo and Betty Roessner. Among the volunteers, I was lucky to have strong young Confirmation Candidates. They were Patrick Helber, Frank Santomauro and Troy Balitter, who not only collected but also helped to transport packages. They were assisted by two other candidates; Joseph Mastandrea and Shannon Granelli, as well as Paul Yanicak, who handled the parish truck to transport the food. All of this was greatly appreciated. I am truly blessed to have so many dedicated, caring people. Thank you for all your efforts! Sincerely, Pantry Coordinator 656 Page 4

5 1. What do you think of when you hear the word hymn? 2. What is a hymn? 3. Is every song we sing at church a hymn? A Google search will teach you more than I know (or care to know) about hymns. Instead, let me explain it by: 1. Looking at the fine print found at the bottom of each song printed in hymnals 2. Comparing a hymn with something that isn t a hymn Take a look at the bottom of hymn #198 where it gives information about the Text. 67, 67, 66, 66: This speaks to the meter of the stressed syllables. Count the syllables; Now thank we all our God (6) With heart, and hands, and voic-es (7.) Sirach 50:22-24 The songs scriptural reference Now bless the God of all who everywere does great things, who raises us up from our birth and deals mercifully with us. (Sirach 5:22) Martin Rinkart A scholar, chorister and future pastor who wrote the words. Catherine Winkworth A British native who translated this and many hymns from German to English. Here is what we learn about the music: John Cruger A musical composer and hymnal editor who composed the hymn tune Nun Danket. The name of the hymn tune is noted to the right of the title. In this case, the tune derives its name from a literal translation of the first words of the original text, Nun Danket Alle Gott. The second way to learn about hymns is by comparing it to something that isn t a hymn. Our communion song #363 provides an excellent contrast. In the interest of space I will let you compare the fine print on your own. A quick glance at the music and a little attention paid when singing reveal several distinct distinctions that separate hymns from songs. Hymns employ simple rhythmic patterns and notes that move stepwise up and down the scale. Songs allow for greater intervals between pitches and more complex rhythms. Miracle of Grace (#363) is very typical of contemporary church musical composition. Now for the challenge question: 4. What is better? Hymns or songs? Once again, a Google search will tell you more than I care to know, read or think about. Let me answer by saying; I have been and continue to be intentional in picking and singing all verses of a hymn as our recessional song. Blessed to be serving at St. Mary s, Knights of Columbus Membership The St. Mary s Knights of Columbus Council #2346 always welcomes new members to join.
