“After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose
sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.” – Mark 1:7
We are put on this earth to love God, love our neighbor and
make disciples. How many times does our own pride and ego
get in the way on fulfilling God’s plan for us? Humbling ourselves before God and putting Him first in all things should be
our top priority.

Immaculate Conception Church
Pro-Life Corner
This Sunday we celebrate
the Baptism of the Lord.
Jesus entered the Jordan
River to be baptized by
St. John the Baptist. Of
course Jesus didn't need
baptism, since He was
totally sinless. However,
He saw baptism as being
necessary in His mission
of bringing salvation to
the world. There are various truths we can learn from
Christ's baptism, including its reference to our own baptism. St. Thomas Aquinas states that the baptism of the
Lord points to our Christian sacrament of baptism.
When Jesus received the baptism of John, He
"consecrated it," and gave it a power that only God
could give. When the baptism of John is imbued with
the presence of Jesus, it becomes what we celebrate today in our sacrament of Baptism. The water signifies the
cleansing from sin that takes place. The descent of the
dove signifies the reception of grace. The voice of God
crying out - "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased." - signifies our adoption as beloved sons and
daughters of God. Baptism teaches us the profound love
that God has for each human life. Each life belongs to
God. Fr. Frank Pavone reminds us that the Lord is baptized to show His solidarity with us and provide the way
for us to be born into eternal life. Baptism gives us our
identity as the People of Life. Abortion and other attacks against Life are completely contrary to baptism.
Baptism is about Life and abortion, infanticide, physician
assisted suicide are about death. Baptism is about welcoming the child into the community. Abortion is about
excluding the child from the community. Baptism is
about the fact that God chooses all people, and because
of this we welcome all people. Abortion is about the fact
that if we didn't wish a particular child to be, we can
reject that child. Baptism shows that we are called to
give a warm "YES" to Life, and never a rejecting 'no' of
abortion. As we reflect on the meaning of baptism let us
reaffirm our commitment to Life, and appreciate the
words of Pope Benedict from 2007: "Each child born
brings to us the smile of God and invites us to recognize
that life is His gift, a gift that must be accepted with love
and protected with care, always and at all times."

Social Ministry
A Mass for Hidden Treasures
Food Collection
On the third Sunday of each month
non-perishable foods are collected at
the entrances of the church. The
food is distributed to three agencies;
the Somerset Community Food Bank, FISH emergency
food and clothing pantry and the Somerville Welfare Office. Over the last few months our Parish Food Collection
has decreased dramatically. We rely on the generous
hearts of this Parish Community to help us to continue to
fill our neighboring food pantries. It truly is a simple way
to help those in need. Please take the time to fill one grocery bag with non perishable items for those who do not
have the means to purchase one of life’s basic needs ~
food. This ministry is crucial to living the Gospel message that calls us to serve the hungry and in some cases
the homeless. Jesus spoke the word clearly when he
stated “When I was hungry did you feed me? For what
you do for the least of these you did for me.” The next
food collection is scheduled for next weekend January 17th & 18th.
is
a group of women from our parish who
reach out to women during times of
pregnancy, birth, or adoption. They
support those suffering the pain of miscarriage, infertility, failed adoption, or
infant crisis, as well as those who experience a normal pregnancy and birth,
or successful adoption. If you or someone you know could benefit from this ministry, or if you
would like to join the ministry, please contact Jeanine
Cavanagh, at 725-1112 x1126.
Elizabeth Ministry
My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within
you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to
understanding; yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your
voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as
for HIDDEN TREASURES; then you will understand the fear of the
LORD, and find the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-5

2015 March for Life
Our Parish will sponsor the eighth annual bus trip to participate in the March for Life in Washington, DC on Thursday January
22, 2015. The March is a yearly event held since 1974 to show support for Life on the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s infamous
abortion decision, Roe v. Wade. This event, sponsored by our Parish, has become a tremendous success in terms of witnessing to the
truth and receiving support in our beliefs. Once again, we will offer parishioners the opportunity to participate in this important lifeaffirming event in our nation’s capital.
It offers an opportunity to put our faith into action by being a public witness for the sacredness of God’s gift of life and being a voice for those unable to speak for them. It presents an occasion for us to reach out to support others unable to defend themselves and, through our prayer and public presence, help to bring the Culture of Life into the world. Your presence is of great value
to succeed in reaching this lofty goal. We will depart from Immaculate Conception Church at 7:00AM. Our approximate return will
be 10:00PM. We will be stopping for dinner in Maryland. We are asking for a $30.00 offering for adults, $10.00 for children and a
maximum cost of $50.00 per family, to defray the cost of the bus. It is not a requirement to pay specified amounts in order to participate. If you have any questions regarding the event please contact Jeanine Cavanagh at 725-1112 x1126 or Kevin Dugan at (908)
788-7736. All are welcome to attend. Please pass this good word on to those outside the Parish who may be interested in attending.
Our goal is to fill the bus to maximum capacity. With the assistance of the good people of this community, we are assured it will be
done. If you cannot attend the March and would like to sponsor another to attend, please consider participating in this manner. An
opportunity for Eucharistic Adoration will be available on January 22 for those who cannot attend, but would like to participate in advancing the cause. Thank you for your prayerful consideration of this life-promoting event. Information on the actual
March for Life can be found on their website, www.marchforlife.org

World Meeting of FamiliesPhiladelphia 2015—Save the Date!
Mark your family calendar for the 8th World Meeting of
Families! Philadelphia is proud to welcome families from around the world to
this event on September 22-27, 2015.
Visit the official website: WorldMeeting2015.org to learn more and to sign
up for regular updates on how you can
participate. The 10 months prior to the
World Meeting of Families have been
assigned 10 themes based on the 10
chapters of the Preparatory Catechesis,
“Love is our Mission: The Family Fully
Alive”. The January theme is: The
Meaning of Human Sexuality which
states: The tangible, earthly, corporeal
world is more than inert matter or modeling clay for the
human will. Creation is sacred. It has sacramental meaning. It reflects God’s glory. That includes our bodies. Our
sexuality has the power to procreate, and shares in the
dignity of being created in the image of God. We need to
live accordingly. Would you like to host a family during
the week? Host Families can host visitors in a spare bedroom, a vacated apartment, or any amenable facility. Visiting individuals and families can then search the Host Family database to find hosts to be matched to. If you would
like to open your home to a World Meeting of Families
Visitor, you can register at https://

Mensaje Spiritual
Con la fiesta
del Bautismo
del Señor termina el tiempo
de Navidad.
Ante la sorpresa de Juan,
que se resiste,
Jesús se sumerge en las
aguas del Jordán. Como
signo de que ha venido a salvar a los hombres, desciende al mismo lugar que la multitud que tiene un sincero
deseo de arrepentimiento y de conversión.
Dios nos viene a decir: Por mi Hijo, vuestro deseo de
salvación se va ha cumplir, porque es mi Hijo amado
y a todos vosotros os amo en él, cuando le miro, os
veo a todos vosotros, a los que mi Hijo se ha unido.
Los que se bañaban en el río expresaban su deseo de
cambiar, de empezar de nuevo, Pero el bautismo de
Juan no podía operar esa transformación. Jesús otorgará un poder sanador a las aguas y así, por el bautismo,
tenemos acceso a Dios en condición de hijos.
El Espíritu Santo desciende sobre Jesús en forma de
Paloma.
La fiesta de hoy nos ayuda ha comprender mejor los misterios de la Navidad que hemos celebrado. Dios no sólo está entre los hombres, sino que la
carne de Jesús es salvadora.
El encuentro con Cristo, con verdadero
poder de transformación, sigue siendo posible mediante
los sacramentos.
Hoy es un día señalado para pensar en
nuestro bautismo.
Un día, el Señor nos eligió y nos infundió la gracia. No sólo nos liberó de la esclavitud del pecado, sino que también nos llamó a una nueva relación
con Dios.
En el Hijo amado comprendemos que Dios nos
quiere y también la vocación a la que hemos sido llamados: por Cristo soy hijo adoptivo de Dios y, con su ayuda, debo vivir según sus enseñanzas. Esa certeza de
una nueva esperanza y la alegría nos impulsan al agradecimiento y a obrar el bien.
El Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo descienden entre los hombres y nos revelan su amor que
salva. Si los ángeles llevaron a los pastores al anuncio
del nacimiento del Salvador, y la Estrella guió a los Reyes Magos llegados de Oriente, ahora es la voz misma
del Padre la que indica a los hombres la presencia de su
Hijo en el mundo y los invita a mirar a la resurrección, a
la Victoria de Cristo sobre el pecado y la muerte.

Colecta Anual Para la
Educación Católica
17 y 18 de enero, 2015
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
¿Sabían que la diócesis de Metuchen educa a más de
10,000 estudiantes en nuestras escuelas católicas primaria y
secundaria? Muchos de nuestros alumnos están allí debido a
la generosidad de la Fundación para la Educación Católica, un
fondo especial que proporciona ayuda financiera para las
familias que están atravesando una situación financiera difícil.
Caridades Católicas
La colecta anual de la Fundación para la educación
católica se realizara el fin de semana del 17 y 18 de enero.
Ahora más que nunca, necesitamos su apoyo para poder
ofrecer más becas para una educación académica excelente,
basada en valores, y una educación católica que merecen
todos los estudiantes.
Gracias de antemano por su consideración y su
compromiso con los niños de nuestra diócesis.
Siempre agradecidos en el Señor,
Reverendo Paul G. Bootkoski, DD
Obispo de Metuchen
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 732-5621990, ext. 1410.
Muchas gracias por su apoyo para traer El Manantial a nuestra comunidad
Hispana/Latina.
Atentamente,
Nan Kubian

Padrinos para el Bautizo
Requisitos:
Los Estados de derecho canónico
(Iglesia) de un Padrino deben ser:
•
Ser un Católico Bautizado y Confirmado que asiste
a la Misa semanal y recibe la Eucaristía.
• Al menos 14 años de edad (siempre que el Padrino
o la Madrina hayan recibido la Confirmación)
• No ser uno de los padres
• Llevar una vida moral según la doctrina de la Iglesia, y ser un buen modelo Católico.
• Si es casado, estar casado según la ley de la Iglesia
• Ser un usuario registrado de su parroquia actual y
obtener un certificado de elegibilidad
• Sólo podemos dar Certificados de Elegibilidad a
aquellos que están registrados en nuestra parroquia.
Ya que se requiere solamente un padrino Católico, un
miembro Bautizado de otra iglesia cristiana (pero no

que los Padrinos renuevan su Promesa Bautismal prometido durante el rito del bautismo; una persona no
bautizada no puede servir en este importante papel.
