Safeguarding Children and
Addressing Abuse:
The Archdiocese Addresses Victims’ Concerns
— Since his arrival in 2001 and his
participation in the drafting of the Charter for
the Protection of Children and Young People,
Archbishop Myers has on many occasions
either individually or with bishops in the
United States, with the Holy Father, and with
clergy throughout the world, acknowledged
publicly the pain that sexual offenders inside
the Church have inflicted on the innocent. At
Chrism Masses before the entire presbyterate
and parish representatives of the Archdiocese,
in media interviews, in statements issued by
the United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops, and in essays and columns,
Archbishop Myers has stated that “a Church
which spends the largest portion of its
resources and the largest portion of its
personnel in serving children, can never, and
will never, condone anything which harms
those children. We also extend our apology
and our assurance of support and help to
those who have been harmed and who are
seeking healing and support.”Beyond words,
however, are actions. Assistance to victims,
training and background checks of staff and
volunteers, reporting accusations to civil
authorities removing clergy with substantiated
accusations are clear indications that the
Archbishop and the Archdiocese abhor child
abuse. What’s more, 20 years ago, the
Archdiocese was one of the first dioceses in
the country to establish a formal Review
Board of experts with legal, law enforcement,
clinical and investigative background to
examine allegations of abuse and recommend
to the Archbishop action under Church law.
The Archdiocese takes very seriously any and
all allegations of sexual misconduct by
members of the clergy, Religious and lay staff
of the Archdiocese. We encourage anyone
with knowledge of an act of sexual misconduct
to inform us immediately so that we may take
appropriate action to protect others and
provide support to victims of sexual abuse.
Individuals who wish to report an allegation of
sexual misconduct may do so by calling the
Archdiocesan Office of Child and Youth
Protection at 201-407-3256.
Priestly Vestments
Fr. Sergio would like to purchase special
vestments for Easter & Christmas. The cost for
an individual vestment is $600.00. The Church
is also in need of Stoles for special occasions
at the cost of $200.00 each.
If you wish to donate a Vestment or Stole in
Memory of a Loved One, please contact the
Rectory Office. Please remember to put
vestment or stole on the memo line on the
check and list your intention. If donating by
cash, please state vestment or stole on the
envelope and list your intention. Thank you
and God bless you for your generosity.
Vestimentas Para los Padres
P. Sergio da las gracias a los feligreses que
dieron donaciones para las tres vestimentas
de los padres y una para el diácono. P. Sergio
le gustaría comprar Vestimentas especiales
para Navidad y Pascua que costarán $ 600.00
cada uno. La Iglesia también está en la
necesidad de estolas para ocasiones
especiales en el costo de $ 200.00 cada uno.
Si usted desea donar una vestidura o estola en
la memoria de un ser querido por favor,
póngase en contacto con la Oficina de la
Rectoría. Por favor, recuerde poner vetimenta
o estola en el memorándum en el cheque y la
lista de su intención. Si la donación en
efectivo, por favor, indique vestimenta o
estola en el sobre y anuncie su intención.
Gracias y que Dios los bendiga por su
generosidad.

Background on the Gospel
Reading
Following upon the teaching of the
Beatitudes, Jesus uses the now familiar
metaphors of salt and light to describe the life
of discipleship. We take salt and light for
granted in our society, but these commodities
were more precious in ancient cultures. Just
as now, salt was used in Jesus' time for
flavoring, as a preservative, and as a healing
agent. Similarly, the widespread use of
electricity in the modern world makes us less
aware of the value and importance of light in
our lives. Still, our familiarity with this passage
from Matthew's Gospel speaks well to the
abiding power of the imagery that Jesus
presented. Jesus' call to be salt for the earth
and light for the world powerfully states our
mission as Church and as Christians. Our
commitment to social justice flows from the
exhortation that Jesus gives us in today's
Gospel. Some of the activities that this
commitment leads us to are given more
concrete expression as the Corporal and
Spiritual Works of Mercy. When we feed the
hungry, clothe the naked, console those who
mourn, and so on, we show ourselves to be
the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
When we do these things with the community
of faith, the Church, we are indeed acting as
“a city set on a mountain” that cannot be
hidden!

Reflexión sobre el Evangelio
Date: Saturday, March 11, 2017 – Time: 8 am
to 3:30 pm - Place: Seton Hall University. Cost
$25.00
Siguiendo la enseñanza de las
Bienaventuranzas, Jesús usa las metáforas de
la sal y la luz para describir la vida del
discipulado. Tomamos la sal y la luz para
concedido en nuestra sociedad, pero estas
materias eran más preciosas en culturas
antiguas. Al igual que ahora, la sal se usó en el
tiempo de Jesús para aromatizar, como
conservante y como agente curativo. Del
mismo modo, el uso generalizado de la
electricidad en el mundo moderno nos hace
menos conscientes del valor y la importancia
de la luz en nuestras vidas. Sin embargo,
nuestra familiaridad con este pasaje del
Evangelio de Mateo habla bien del poder
permanente de las imágenes que Jesús
presentó. El llamado de Jesús a ser sal para la
tierra y la luz para el mundo establece
poderosamente nuestra misión como Iglesia y
como cristianos. Nuestro compromiso con la
justicia social surge de la exhortación que
Jesús nos da en el Evangelio de hoy. Algunas
de las actividades a las que nos lleva este
compromiso nos dan una expresión más
concreta como las Obras Corporales y
Espirituales de Misericordia. Al alimentar a los
hambrientos, vestir a los desnudos, consolar a
los que lloran, y así sucesivamente, nos
mostramos a ser la sal de la tierra y la luz del
mundo. Cuando hacemos estas cosas con la
comunidad de fe, la Iglesia, ¡estamos
realmente actuando como "una ciudad
situada en una montaña" que no se puede
ocultar!
