JOSEPH CHURCH ORADELL/NEW MILFORD, NJ 2 Special Announcement from the Parish Pastoral Council RE: SCHEDULING OUR SUNDAY MASSES PART FOUR OUR SUNDAY GIVING Our parish s main source of revenue is the Sunday and holyday collections. Therefore, each Sunday, we publish the amount of the previous Sunday collection. We also include the collection amount needed each week to ensure that the parish remains on a sound financial basis. We thank you for your support and hope that in light of our need, we encourage you to carefully consider your weekly contribution to our parish. Sunday Collection for the Week of May 27, 2012 Basket $8,177 Starting July 1, 2012 Our Sunday Mass Schedule will be: Saturday, 5 pm Sunday, 7 am,, 10:30 am, 12:30 pm Please Note The Mass Intentions will transfer to the new times. The daily Mass schedule will remain the same. For the past few weeks, the Parish Pastoral Council has been sharing the reasons behind the creation of the new Mass schedule as well as answering questions regarding the Mass schedules, both new and old. One concern that is often raised is that Baptisms are currently celebrated at only one Mass the 12 Noon. This is because it is the last Mass of the day. Once that Mass, which includes the celebration of Baptism is over; families are free to take photos and socialize as long as they want since there are no other Masses. With the new Mass schedule, we will now be able to celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism at both the 10:30 am and 12:30 pm Masses. The two-hour span between these services will allow for families to celebrate their special day and for other parishioners to attend Mass unimpeded by parking or congestion concerns. FAREWELL WEEKEND FOR FATHER RAUL Father Raul s new assignment in Minnesota begins June 20. His farewell weekend here at our parish will be June 16 & 17. There will be an informal reception after each of our Sunday Masses. If you would like to assist with the reception contact Arlene Kennedy ( ) or send her an (kennedya@sjcnj.org).

6 ST. JOSEPH CHURCH ORADELL/NEW MILFORD, NJ Compiled by the Liturgy of the Word With Children Committee The Gospel is the Good News about Jesus. The Gospel Reading for today is from St. Matthew Chapter 28 verses In today s Gospel, Jesus tells his followers to Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. He tells them to teach all the people about his commandments and to tell everyone about him, about God his Father, and about the Holy Spirit. When we were baptized, the priest used the words I baptize you in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. As he said this, he washed us with the waters of Baptism. When the priest did this, we became part of God s family. Baptism makes us all children of God so that we can enter heaven and be with God, Jesus. and the Holy Spirit. COLOR THIS PICTURE OF A BAPTISM When a person is baptized the priest pours water on the person and says the words, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. MISSION OF THE WEEK Some time this week sit down with your parents and ask them about your Baptism. Ask them if they have any pictures from the day of your Baptism. 6 NOTE TO PARENTS The Liturgy of the Word with Children takes place at our 9am Sunday Mass. During that Mass the younger children are sent forth just before the First Reading and go to the lower church/mary s Chapel for their own celebration of God's Word. The readings, homily, songs and prayers are geared to their understanding. The children return before the presentation of the gifts to continue the celebration of the Liturgy with their families. We want God's Good News to be exciting for the younger members of our parish family. The Liturgy of the Word with Children will conclude Sunday June 24. We will resume after Labor Day.
