January 16, 2011
Dear Parish Family,
Today is the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. Here
is a piece I found from the St. Andrew Bible Missal, which
speaks so beautifully about “Ordinary Time”.
“Wasted time is not a prized commodity in American
society. We are a people ruled by the clock. Time is
money because time is to be filled with purposeful
controlled activity which is productive of things which can
be sold. We are convinced that we must be in control of
time. The last thing the productive American would want
to do is waste time playing around with realities that do
not produce a saleable commodity.
But the Creator of heaven and earth is described by
the scriptures as the original and the best of players.
Creative activity is playful, and creative people do not feel
that what they do is a job. Creative people also have a
sense that their creativity and all that they fashion in the
creative spirit are gifts they have received. The Christian
can speak of this and the contemplative vision which sees
all reality as gift or grace. Our thankful response we call
worship or eucharist.
We cannot speak of Ordinary Time without speaking
of Sunday. The every seven-day celebration of the Lord’s
Day is the basic structure upon which the Church Year is
built. The great liturgical seasons of Advent-Christmas
and Lent-Easter are more expansive celebrations of
particular aspects of the one paschal mystery which we
celebrate every Lord’s Day. These special seasons focus
our attention upon critical dimensions of one mystery, a
mystery so overwhelming that we are compelled to
separate out its various elements for particular attention.
These seasons in no way minimize the critical importance
of the Sunday celebration throughout the rest of the year.
Ordinary Time is not very ordinary at all. Ordinary Time,
the celebration of Sunday, is the identifying mark of the
Christian community which comes together, remembering
that on this first day of the week the Lord of Life was
raised up and creation came at last to completion.
Sunday as a day of play and worship is a sacrament of
redeemed time. How we live Sunday proclaims to the
world what we believe about redeemed time now and for
ever.
What happens in our churches every Sunday is the
fruit of our week. What happens as the fruit of the week
past is the beginning of the week to come. Sunday, like
all sacraments, is simultaneously a point of arrival and
departure for Christians on their way to the fullness of the
kingdom. This is not ordinary at all. This is the fabric of
Christian living.”
Taken from the Saint Andrew Bible Missal
At all the Masses this weekend students from
St. Peter Academy will share with us the benefits of a
Catholic Education. Our school offers an excellent
education experience which includes learning about our
Catholic faith and respect for one another. I invite you to
visit St. Peter Academy during the upcoming Open House
next Sunday, or on Thursday, January 27th, from 7 – 9 pm,
during Catholic Schools Week, or some other convenient
time.
As you may have read in the bulletin last month,
Sr. Barbara Takacs, M.P.F., has announced that she will
be changing ministries at the end of this school year. I
thank Sr. Barbara for her leadership role as Principal of
St. Peter Academy over these 26 years. I ask that you
keep Sr. Barbara in your prayers as she prepares to bring
to a close one chapter in her life and prepares to begin a
new chapter later this year.
This time of transition and change can be a challenging
time for many, but I believe that this time of transition can
lead to growth and renewal for St. Peter Academy. The
foundation that Sr. Barbara has built by her dedication,
hard work, and commitment helps to ensure that the future
will be even better. St. Peter Academy is a great school
and is a model of Catholic Education and the next chapter
is very promising.
I thank the teachers of our school for their hard work
and dedication, as well as the parents who are entrusting
their children to us and investing in their futures.
Thank you for your Stewardship of Time, Talent, and
Treasure and for all that you do for our parish.
Love,
Fr. Larry

Make a Gift through an IRA Charitable Rollover
Normally, a distribution from your IRA is taxed as ordinary
income. However, tax legislation just enacted extends the
opportunity for the remainder of 2010 and throughout
2011 for individuals 70½ or older to make a direct
distribution from your IRA to a qualified charity, such as
(PARISH NAME), the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, the
Archdiocese of Newark, or another archdiocesan
institution. Such qualified direct distributions to charity
from your IRA are not subject to income tax. The new law
also provides that you may consider such distributions
made in January 2011 as made in 2010.
For more information about how you and the Church can
benefit from an IRA charitable rollover, contact the parish
office or the Archdiocese of Newark’s Planned Giving
Office at (973) 497-4048 by e-mail at PGINFO@rcan.org.
