The Archbishop entitled his address STRANGERS IN A STRANGE LAND, and stated: "In the developed world, more and more people of faith, people for whom God is the anchor of their lives, people who once felt rooted in their communities, now feel like strangers, out of place and out of sync in the land of their birth." Our nation has changed from a culture accepting religion and Christian moral principles to one that is antagonistic to such views and those that hold them. In looking at our nation's history, the Archbishop states: "America has always been a mixed marriage of biblical and Enlightenment ideas. It was a fertile arrangement. It worked well for a long time. But the hard news for religious believers is that the mom and dad of the family – the two bodies of thought that gave birth to this country -- are getting a divorce. And we won't like the new rules of the house." The founders of our nation recognized that democracy needed a creative check, and that only religion can moderate democracy, because it appeals to authority higher than democracy itself. Archbishop Chaput calls upon us to engage and change the culture, a difficult task, but very doable. We do this by firmly believing and living our faith. "Christianity is worthless as a leaven in society unless people actually believe in Jesus Christ, follow the Gospel, love the Church and act like real disciples with passion and purpose." Living our faith includes a serious obligation as believers to care for the poor, the immigrant, the elderly and persons with disabilities. "And lest we forget: The poor include the unborn child. The abortion struggle hasn’t suddenly disappeared. There are no human rights without a fundamental right to life. Abortion is the assassination of hope. It’s the murder of a society’s future. There’s no way to contextualize or diminish the evil of a law that allows the killing of innocent, unborn human life. Nor is there any way for any Catholic to accept or ignore that kind of legalized homicide when it comes to decisions in the voting booth or anywhere else." The Archbishop concludes: "We were made by God to receive love ourselves, and to show love to others – love anchored in the truth about the human person and the nature of human relationships. That’s our purpose. That’s why we were created. We’re here to bear each other’s burdens; to sacrifice ourselves for the needs of others; and to live a witness of love for the God who made us – not only in our personal lives, but in all our public actions, including every one of our social, economic and political choices. And if that makes us strangers in a strange land, then we should praise God for the privilege." Submitted by Kevin Dugan, ProLife Ministry Leader 4 Bishop’s Annual Appeal 2014 Bishop’s Annual Appeal Life-Changing Faith For over 32 years, the Phillipsburg Social Service Center, operated by Catholic Charities, has opened its doors to those with limited assets who search for the everyday means of sustenance.

BE A CHAMPION For Catholic Charities As a Champion for Catholic Charities, you are a champion in every sense of the word. Through your support, you champion for the oppressed and underprivileged and give voice to the voiceless.

There are many ways to become a Champion.

Look for the Christmas tree in the church going up next week. The tags on the tree indicate specific gifts requested by families for their children. By taking a tag, and returning it to church with the specified gift, you will be sharing the joy of Christmas with those less fortunate. Each year more than one thousand gifts are collected and distributed to parishioners in need and other local agencies (i.e. Division of Youth and Family Services, Catholic Charities, St. Peter’s Pediatric Oncology and Family Clinic, and Parish Families in Need).It is easy to become distracted from the true meaning of Christmas in a world that emphasizes commercialism and seems to push toward secular observance of the holidays. It is a blessing to be part of a faith community that exemplifies the spirit of giving, year after year, by its generous participation in this project. The simple act of giving selflessly and joyfully is the best celebration of the birth of our Savior. SHIP's Galley is a service provided by the Samaritan Homeless Interim Program as a response to the need for an on-site meal program to feed the hungry in our region. It is run through the efforts of Faith Communities and other volunteers whose purpose is to provide a nutritious meal to those in need. Our parish provides two teams of volunteers for SHIP on the first Wednesday of each month. One team prepares food and the other serves the food at St. John's Episcopal Church in Somerville. We are most in need of volunteers to prepare food for this endeavor. Would you please consider taking a small amount of your time to prepare a casserole, side dish, salad, sandwiches or to shop to purchase bread, milk, or fruit for this meal program? The food should be prepared or purchased in order to be dropped off at the Parish Center on the first Tuesday of the month. The food is then delivered to the Galley on the following day to be heated and served. If you would be so generous to assist with this tremendous need, you will be contacted by phone regarding your assigned food. You do not need to commit to every month in order to assist. If you would like more information or to schedule yourself for future SHIP Galley dates, please contact Jeanine Cavanagh, at 7251112 x1126 or contact Barbara Canavan, at 908-313-4468 or email at [email protected]. Thanks you for your consideration. Samaritan Homeless Interim Program S.H.I.P. is accepting donations of fresh or frozen turkeys for the up coming Thanksgiving and Christmas season. If you are able to assist and make a donation, please deliver directly to SHIP Safe Harbor located at 87 High St. Somerville, or call them at 908-393-9545 to set up a delivery time. Thank you for your ongoing support to helping feed the Homeless families of Somerset County. 6 Alternative GiftGiving Opportunity ~ Think Outside the Box! Back by popular demand our Alternative Gift Giving Opportunity (AGGO) will be held on December 6th & 7th. The AGGO offers all parishioners an opportunity to give to those who are less fortunate. This is a chance to welcome Christmas with less emphasis on material gift giving, and respond to the needs of those around us. Realizing that the greatest gift we can give is to help improve the quality of another’s life. Representatives from charitable/ church agencies in our area will be present in the main vestibule of the church at the AGGO after all Masses. Parishioners will be invited to make a donation to the cause of their choice, and in turn will be given a certificate to present to the people in your life whom you wish to honor through this gift giving. This is a chance to honor family and friends through your generosity towards others in need of assistance. Participating agencies will include: SHIP (Samaritan Homeless Interim Program); Habitat for Humanity; Appalachia Relief Services; Pregnancy Aid Center of Raritan; Immaculate Conception Elizabeth Ministry; Interfaith Hospitability Network; and the Immaculate Conception Social Ministry Emergency Relief Fund. The Gift Giving Opportunity comes at such a perfect time of year. Not only because most of us feel generous to just want to help those in need, but also it is a time when we are searching for gift ideas. Sometimes we need a little something to add to a gift, sometimes we need stocking stuffers, sometimes we want to give a gift to someone but we know that person needs absolutely nothing. The Gift Giving Opportunity has all of the answers! It is just the perfect gift to give anyone. There are also so many options of charities and amounts to give. I love giving a gift to the Appalachian Relief Services to my Father. He was a builder by trade and I think it brings back fond memories, in addition, he knows that a donation is going to help others in need, which is something he did all his life. I love giving this gift in my children's stockings. They always open their stockings first and this just reminds them what the real spirit of Christmas is, giving. Personally I view The Gift Giving Opportunity is a wonderful convenience to me as it completes my Christmas shopping. It's a place where you can find a gift for everyone on your list! "Maybe Christmas*," he thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more!" - from How The Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss Participating in our Alternative Gift Giving Opportunity is a great way to make a difference this holiday season. At the fair, learn about the many local, organizations making a difference in our community and world. 579 Immaculate Conception Church Immaculate Conception Church Presents AN ADVENT FESTIVAL OF READINGS AND CAROLS The annual festival service of music and scripture featuring the Immaculate Conception, Choir, Children’s Choir and Handbell Ensemble of Immaculate Conception Church with Festival brass, Organ and Harp Come to the candle-lit sanctuary of Immaculate Conception Church to hear the story of the Incarnation retold through word and music.

Domingo, 30 de noviembre de 2014 a las 5 PM. Habrá una colecta voluntaria. Horas de Adoración Eucarística Lunes 17 de Noviembre: 8:00 PM - 6:00AM Martes, 18 de Noviembre: 9:00 AM –6:00 PM Miércoles, 19 de Noviembre: No Adoración Jueves, 20 de Noviembre: 9:00 PM-6:00 AM Viernes, 21 de Noviembre: 9:00 AM-6:00PM 10 Pronto va ha finalizar el Año Litúrgico y recordemos que el Señor ha de volver para juzgar a vivos y muertos. No sabemos cuando sucederá por lo que San Pablo nos dice que no dejemos que se apague la vida de la gracia en nosotros; y los mejores medios para ello son la oración y el ejercicio de la caridad. El evangelio narra la parábola de los talentos. Todos hemos recibido dones de Dios en diferente medida. Cada uno de nosotros debe hacer fructificar los talentos que nos han sido dados. La parábola nos permite ver dos actitudes diferentes. Unos empleados ven los talentos como una tarea; el tercero lo percibe como una carga. Los primeros actúan conscientes de que su vida guarda relación con lo que se les ha entregado, por eso buscan la manera de hacer que crezcan. Y que felicidad sienten al ver que el talento daba fruto. Así se anticipa la alegría que experimentan al final cuando son felicitados por su señor, que les anuncia un premio definitivo. La gracia de Dios va creciendo en nosotros en la medida en que correspondemos a ella: nos hace mas capaces para servir a Dios y al projimo y, a su vez, más felices. Cuando nos hacemos conscientes de que nuestras capacidades vienen de Dios, a la vez nace en nosotros el deseo de compartirlas con los demas: todo lo que he recibido ha de server también para hacer mejor la vida de mi projimo. El empleado holgazán vive con miedo. Por eso esconde el talento. Podemos imaginar su vida: siempre temiendo el compromiso y la entrega, huyendo del projimo y siempre con la angustia por el mañana. Una vida seguramente pesada. Tengamos siempre presente al Señor. Si algo nos pide Jesús, es que nos apoyemos en El y que confiemos solo en El. Incluso cuando esto parece difícil, acordémoslo de que no estamos llamados a tener éxito, pero si a ser fieles. La fidelidad es importante, incluso en las pequeñas cosas, no por la cosa en si, que seria de un espíritu mezquino; la grandeza esta en hacer la voluntad de Dios. San Agustín dijo: “Las pequeñas cosas siguen siendo pequeñas, pero ser fiel en las pequeñas cosas es una gran cosa. Acaso nuestro Señor no es el mismo con un pequeño que con un poderoso? 579 EL MANANTIAL El Nuevo Periódico Católico en Español Para llegar a las personas Hispano/Latinas que viven y trabajan en nuestra diócesis, pero no pueden leer The Catholic Spirit, que está en inglés, el obispo Bootkoski ha aprobado la publicación de un periódico nuevo, totalmente en español. Este periódico, El Manantial, ya empezó a imprimirse enteramente en español. Va a ser publicado trimestralmente y tendrá una distribución a las parroquias con comunidades hispanas, así como otros lugares en nuestra diócesis. Proporcionará a los hispanos historias de fe así como también noticias de la diócesis y otros recursos en su propio idioma. Esperamos que ya hayan leído nuestra primera edición! El Manantial debe ser auto sostenible lo cual significa que no habrá ninguna subvención Diocesana y sin costo alguno para las copias distribuidas. El periódico debe ser apoyado únicamente por ingresos publicitarios. Esto no será posible sin su ayuda. Tenemos oportunidades de publicidad que ofrecen precios muy asequibles para mostrar anuncios y directorios. Si necesita información adicional, por favor llame a la oficina al 732-562-1990, ext. 1410. Muchas gracias por su apoyo para traer El Manantial a nuestra comunidad Hispana/Latina. Atentamente, Nan Kubian The Catholic Spirit P.O. Box 191 Metuchen, NJ 08840 732/562-1990, ext. 1410 2014 Bishop’s Annual Appeal Life-Changing Faith Apreciados Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo, En su primera carta encíclica, “Lumen Fidei” (“La Luz de la Fe”), el Papa Francisco nos dice: “La fe, que recibimos de Dios como don sobrenatural, se presenta como luz en el sendero, que orienta nuestro camino en el tiempo.” (nº 4) La carta encíclica, iniciada por el Papa Benedicto XVI, examina el papel único de la fe que es “capaz de iluminar toda la existencia del hombre.” (nº 4) Debido a su donación a la Campaña Anual del Obispo, nuestra fe toca las vidas de miles de personas en los cuatro condados de la Diócesis de Metuchen. Es su apoyo generoso que suple las necesidades materiales básicas de los menos afortunados, y da luz a los que sufren en la mente, el cuerpo o el espíritu. Su don tiene un impacto en nuestras familias, de manera especial en los jóvenes, y también provee formación para diáconos y sacerdotes para que nuestra fe pueda perdurar para las generaciones futuras. Como el Papa Francisco escribe: “La fe no es un refugio para gente pusilánime, sino que ensancha la vida.” (nº 53) Es su valentía y compromiso que permite que nuestros ministerios diocesanos florezcan. Sin sus dones de tiempo, talento y recursos financieros, la luz de la fe en nuestra diócesis no brillaría tanto. Caridades Católicas Programa de Servicios de Inmigración Este programa de la Diócesis de Metuchen busca ofrecer servicios legales de inmigración a bajo costo a las comunidades de Nueva jersey.

Juntos podemos tener un impacto positivo en la vida de tantas personas. Teniéndoles presente en oración, les deseo todo bien. Agradecido en el Señor, Reverendísimo Monseñor Paul G.
