Donato on Sunday, November 13 at 3PM at St Henry Church. Admission is Free. the names of the birth parents who placed children for adoption, even though for 40 years both the State and the Church promised anonymity to the birth parents at the time of the adoption. The Catholic Church always has supported reunions between adoptees and birth parents if such reunions were by mutual consent. For this reason, Catholic Charities agencies continue to assist both birth parents and adoptees seeking reunions. The Catholic Church also supports adoptees having full access to their birth parents medical, cultural, and social history information. Can birth parents in New Jersey protect their privacy and indicate whether or not they want contact with the adoptee? Yes, the New Jersey Department of Health now offers two forms – a Redaction Request Form and a Contact Preference Form – that allow birth parents of adult adoptees an opportunity to protect their privacy. How can birth parents protect their privacy? Birth parents who finalized an adoption before August 1, 2015 can file a request with the State of New Jersey indicating that they want the State Registrar to keep their Personal Identifying Information off documents provided to anyone. To do this, birth parents MUST complete and submit a Redaction Request Form no later than December 31, 2016. Can a birth parent request no contact with an adoptee? Birth parents have three options related to contact with an adoptee. By completing and submitting a Contact Preference Form, birth parents can indicate they want no contact with the adoptee; or they can indicate that they agree to have a third party arrange contact with the adoptee; or they can indicate that they are willing to have direct contact with the adoptee. Submitting a Contact Preference Form is essential. Hudson Catholic Regional high School will hold their Open House on October 23 and November 9. Interested 8th grade students and their families are invited to join. More information at hudsoncatholic.org Adoptees who want to obtain a copy of their original birth certificate can submit a request. The New Jersey Department of Health will begin releasing birth records after January 1, 2017. For more information regarding the changes to New Jersey’s Adoption Law visit the New Jersey Catholic Conference website: www.njcatholic.org/adoptions. The New Jersey Adoption law has changed Safeguarding Children and Addressing Abuse: Beginning January 1, 2017, adoptees and certain relatives will be able to obtain a copy of their original birth certificate without a court order. The birth certificate will include 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, Hudson Catholic HS 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 – these 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. October is SIDS, Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month Each and every day, in areas across the world, expectant moms will feel their baby’s first kick; parents will listen to their newborn’s first cry; and families will celebrate the birthday of a healthy baby. Also each and every day, 13 babies will be lost to SIDS and other sudden, unexpected infant deaths; more than 70 new parents will have listened sadly to their stillborn baby’s silence; and countless lives will be lost to miscarriage and other causes of infant death. In particular, October 15th is called “National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day”. On this day in many parts of the world, people will light a candle and offer prayers in memory of those lost babies, born and unborn. In solidarity let us join together and do the same here in our homes. If we light a candle and let it burn for at least 1 hour, there will be a continual wave of light across the world all day. May these children celebrate in heaven in the comfort of our Savior’s arms. 2017 Youth Rally and Mass for Life The 2017 Youth Rally and Mass for Life to be held on Friday, January 27, 2017 in Washington DC.

UnconditionalLove
In the Gospel of Luke (15:11‐32), we read the ever familiar story of the prodigal son. When we read this story we usually focus our attention on the younger son, on his wayward life and his eventual return. This time, I would like to call your attention to the elder son in the story; and before I tell you why, allow me first to tell you a true story. In years past, I used to minister at the Macomb County Jail. I would go to the prison on an assigned schedule, and while I was there I would conduct a communion service, and visit with the inmates. I no longer do that but I really enjoyed the experience and I sometimes miss it. While I was at the jail, I would frequently be asked to speak privately with an inmate. And on those occasions, it was very common for the inmate to share the story of their life with me. This was extremely helpful for them because in evaluating their present situation, it was beneficial for them to reflect on their past life with a minister or counselor. On one occasion, I was asked to speak with a young woman. I would guess her to be in her mid to late twenties. She was awaiting sentencing on a charge of breaking and entering. Her probable sentence was going to be ten to fifteen years. She cried during our entire conversation. During that conversation, she basically told me the story of her life. Her life story had nothing to do with her tears. I will tell you why she was crying a little later. She said that her mother had died when she was just a baby. Her father had no visible means of support so she was raised by an institution. She went on to say that the institution had judged her to be unintelligent, that she was not smart enough to learn certain skills, so she was given just a basic education. Now as an adult she could neither read nor write. Her father did not have custody but he did have visitation privilege. As she grew older, her father was allowed to take her from the institution for a day or a weekend at a time. And when she was thirteen years old, her father began to teach her things that no thirteen year old girl should know. When she was old enough to leave the institution, she was unemployable, so she made a living doing what her father had taught her. She became a prostitute. That was her profession. That is how she survived. She eventually met a customer who said that he would support her so that she would not have to make a living that way anymore. But he also was unemployable, so they survived by stealing. And that was why she was in prison. They were both arrested for breaking and entering and for grand larceny. Having been a prostitute for all those years, she had a long police record. And since she is classified in the judicial system as a repeat offender, she had every reason to expect the maximum sentence of ten to fifteen years. The inevitable sentence didn’t bother her. For her, life was the pits. Inside or outside made no difference to her. As I said, she cried all the while we spoke. She said, “I am crying because when I was picked up, they went to my apartment and also picked up my dog. I am crying because I am afraid for my dog. What will happen to my dog? People here laugh at me when I cry for my dog, but I have to cry for my dog. That dog is the only living creature who ever showed me love and affection unconditionally. That dog is the only living creature who loved me in spite of who and what I am.” Her story touched me deeply. All I could think of, as she shared her story with me, was that either she had never met a Christian, or else we Christians are not doing a very good job. The elder son in Luke’s Gospel could not rejoice with his father over the return of his younger brother. Why? Was it sibling rivalry that prevented him from also rejoicing? I think not. The parable makes it clear that it was self‐righteousness that caused such animosity toward his sinful younger brother. “Look, all these years I served you and not once did I disobey your orders; yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends.” Jesus obviously told this parable to communicate a truth. Who do you think that Jesus meant this elder brother to represent? Who do you know that would hold such animosity toward a sinner that they could not rejoice when the sinner repents? Each and every one of us must look within ourselves as we ponder the answer to that question. Because whoever Jesus meant the elder brother to represent, the question remains for each one of us to consider. Our job, our only job in life, the ultimate purpose of our life, is to learn to perfect the art of loving unconditionally. Please do not misunderstand me. I am not trying to bring acceptance to this young lady’s career choice. But we need to ask ourselves, whose sin is it? Was it her sin, or her father’s, or the institution’s? In other words, we must not be judgmental or self‐righteous. Jesus portrays our God as being compassionate, loving and eager to forgive. Our job, our only job in life, the ultimate purpose of our life, is to learn to perfect the art of loving unconditionally. And as we perfect the art of loving unconditionally, we are to allow the love of God to shine brightly through our lives, to illuminate the way for others to follow. — Deacon Donald Cox.
