My Dear People,
Mis Queridos Feligreses,
On the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord we bring
the Christmas season to a close. I remember
asking a group of parents and sponsors about
the baptism of Jesus, whether or not it was the
same as the Sacrament of Baptism. One person
replied, “No, because John was Baptist and not
Catholic.” While his answer was right but the
reason was wrong, of course. All the Sacraments flow from the death and resurrection of
Jesus which had not yet taken place. However,
there is one very important detail that does apply
to our own Baptism. From the depths of the Father’s heart you and I are also declared beloved
sons and daughters upon whom His favor rests,
and not only at the moment of Baptism, but every
moment since. The primary responsibility of parents and sponsors at Baptism is to echo this truth
to those in their care. May we let this day be a
moment in which we listen for that Voice that tells
us who we really are and prepare us to reflect
this truth toward all those we meet.
En la fiestadelBautismo del Señortraela temporada de Navidada su fin. Recuerdo que le preguntéa un grupo depadres y padrinossobreel bautismo de Jesús, si era o noel mismo queel Sacramento del Bautismo. A una persona lerespondió:
"No, porque Juan eraBautista ynocatólico".Mientras que surespuesta eracorrecta, perola
razón estaba mal, por supuesto. Todoslos sacramentosfluyendela muerte y resurrecciónde Jesús, lo cual no había ocurrido. Sin embargo, hay
un detallemuy importante quese aplica anuestro
propiobautismo. Desde las profundidades delcorazón del Padre tú y yotambiénsomos declaradoshijos e hijas amados quienesgozamos de
susfavores, yno solamenteen el momentodel
bautismo, pero cada momentodesde entonces.La principal responsabilidaddelos padres y

Baptism of the Lord
Today as we commemorate the Baptism of the Lord by John the Baptist we continue to celebrate the revelations of God to the world. This year let us resolve to
answer the call for the New Evangelization to bring God’s saving message to all.
Do you feel “unqualified” to speak the message? The CDs, books & booklets in
our display in the vestibule make it easy…just pick one, then pass it on! Thank
you for your generous donations that help to support the mission of Stewardship:
A Mission of Faith and Lighthouse Catholic Media to “feed hungry hearts”.

T h a n k Yo u , S h o p R i t e !
We wish to acknowledge and thank our local ShopRite at
Oxford Avenue and Levick Street for coming to our rescue on
Monday, January 5th. Somehow, the fuse for the freezers in our
school cafeteria was blown over the holidays…spoiling three
days of our children’s lunches. This was not discovered until
Monday morning – too late to get a lunch order delivered. Calls
were made and to our great surprise and delight, Julie Stevens at
our local Shop Rite very kindly donated enough hot dogs and rolls for our children to enjoy a
hot lunch! Also, many thanks to this local store who supported three parish families with
Christmas gifts during the holiday season!
If you purchase groceries at ShopRite, next time you are there, please join us in thanking them
for this extraordinary kindness!
Presenting…our NEW WHITEBOARDS!
Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Gary Zimmaro, President of Abp. Wood HS
and alumnus of SMT, as well as the generosity of EVERASE, a company
that manages the highly-skilled installation of Whiteboards in schools and
businesses, St. Martin of Tours has had 11 classrooms upgraded from
chalkboards to whiteboards! At the direction of Paul Jellen, 16 men arrived
the morning of December 9th to install the upgrades…and stayed until 5:30
pm getting the job done! Cutting down on the use of chalk in the classrooms is much easier on the use of our SmartBoards…and is also much
easier for students to read. One of the rooms receiving the whiteboards is
our Music Classroom – and Mr. Conti is smiling from ear to ear…his board
includes pre-marked music lines …no more drawing lines and staff for his
lessons!Imagine, the day will come when we will no longer need to “clap
the erasers” at the end of each school day!
THE THREE KINGS ARRIVED...
at Saint Martin of Tours Parish on Saturday, January 3, 2015 at approximately 3 p.m. via camel. Please visit the
Parish website for more pictures.
