A Christmas Message from Fr. Tom…
Fr. Vincent, Fr. Jon, Fr. Yvans, Deacon Mike, Deacon Frank the Parish Staff, our principal Joan Dollinger, school staff and I wish all of you a Blessed Christmas and a Happy, New Year Filled with happiness, health and peace. Just like the Posada; the journey with Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem and with His arrival and the proclamation of “Peace on Earth’, we as a parish, must humbly follow Jesus’ promise that he will come again. As we prepare to celebrate His first coming at Bethlehem, let us continue to follow the newborn baby Jesus, His light and His Message which resides here in our hearts and to keep prayer for both. Let us continually search for the good in the world and in one another. Remember Christmas is the season of Faith, Hope and Love: renewed faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, replenished hope for the New Year and rekindled love for all that is dear to us. It is not just one day a year, but is every day of our lives, that we are thankful for the birth of the baby Jesus and his return. I would like to share this small verse I found years ago. It speaks of the true spirit of Christmas and keeping Christ in it every day.
“Christmas is more than a day at the end of the year,
More than a day of joy and good cheer.
Christmas is really God’s pattern of living,
To be followed each day by unselfish giving.
Then peace on Earth will come to stay,
When we live Christmas every day.”
In closing, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for the cards, gifts and expressions of goodwill that I received during this most holy and glorious Christmas season. I am also grateful for your generosity at Christmas and for your prayers, offerings and sacrifices made during the past five months. I am grateful to all who dedicate their time, talent and energy to help build up our Parish family. My words cannot describe the gratitude to out Arts and environment committee who decorated the Churches this Christmas so beautifully and throughout the year; to Donna Marie Berchtold our music director and the music ministry who from the beginning of Advent with our first Cantata and this Christmas touched our spirit and uplifted our soul; to Nancy Riddell and Terri Moncrief with the children from our school and faith formation who participated in the Christmas tableau at the 4:00pm Mass; to the Eucharistic Ministers who bring Jesus and a smile to the homebound, hospitals and the residents of our local nursing homes; to our Adult Faith Formation Ministry and Prayer groups, who provide opportunities to learn more about our faith and prayer life. To our Stephen Ministry who offer compassionate outreach to those who need comfort and support. For all who participated in our giving tree, whose generosity allowed our Veterans, covenant house, women’s shelter, and families of St. Vincent De Paul to share in the joy of Christmas. To St. Vincent De Paul for all their outreach and help to the many in need throughout the year. To Maria our sacristan, altar servers, lectors, Eucharistic ministers, ministers of hospitality/ushers for making all our Christmas Masses a true celebration this year. As we move forward into 2018, let it be a year of growing new ministries such as nursing, quilting, senior care, grounds, Martha and many more. To help make our Parish and our Diocese CATHOLIC STRONG.
We are truly a blessed Parish Family of Our Lady Perpetual Help. God Bless you all.
Fr. Tom3

ARE YOU CALLED TO JOIN A MINISTRY?
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish has many ministries where you can offer your time and talents. For a complete list of ministries, please visit our website: www.OLPHparish-nj.org
Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament
Wednesdays beginning 8:30 A.M. at our Assumption site. Adoration closes
with Benediction at 6:00 pm. Volunteers are always needed, call the parish office if you can help.
Parish Membership
A good family works together and supports each other. The members of a family have to constantly work at building relationships by getting to know each other. Our parish family is no different. To be true members of our parish family we need to build relationships, work together and provide support for our mission – which is live out our discipleship in Christ.
With this understanding we can focus on the ways we are known to be a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish Family. Building relationships require telling people about ourselves. In the parish this is done by filling out a registration form. In such a large parish, registration is a practical and necessary tool for members to be known.
Working together means active inter-involvement. Being “active” in a parish family means that the individual or family attends Mass weekly, holy days, and participates in other parish activities according to need, desire, interest and availability. A member of the parish also supports the parish.
Support is given in the areas of time talent and treasure. As in all families, being present (time), offering your skills (talent) and contributing financially (treasure) are part of sharing the communal responsibilities.
If someone asks me or a member of the Parish staff if you are a member of this parish family; for instance, if you are to be a sponsor for baptism or confirmation or are planning a wedding here as your “home parish”, then we need to use the above criteria to determine your membership.
Religious Education OFFICE (609) 652-0008, ext 208
MONDAY THRU THURSDAY: 8:00 am – 4:00 pm
One of the promises that parents make when having their children baptized is “accepting the responsibility of training [their child] in the practice of the faith” and it is the parents’ duty to “bring [them] up to keep God’s commandments as Christ taught us.”
This training begins in the home and the Church supports parents in this responsibility by offering Religious Education – either through a Catholic school or a Religious Education Program.
The Religious Education program here at OLPH Parish offers a variety of class meeting times and days, all meant to reinforce what your children are learning from you. Please contact our office to find out more about how we can help you nurture the gift of faith that you have accepted from God on behalf of your child. Also, if you feel the call to help support this mission of the Church as a teacher (catechist) or aide, please contact us.
Youth Ministry Are you a teen looking for an active group that enjoys fun, games, outings, and social service projects that truly impacts other’s lives? If your answer is “yes,” then look no further as OLPH has a group just for you! We believe that coming together in friendship keeps our faith strong while at the same time having fun and serving others. Our motto is definitely “the more the merrier”! If you would like to be on our email list to learn of upcoming events please email [email protected]

Sick Calls/Hospital Visitation/Emergencies
If you know of any parishioner who is homebound and would like to regularly receive Holy Communion, we are happy to make arrangements for periodic visits by a priest and lay Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. Catholic residents of long-term care facilities within our parish boundaries are likewise visited regularly. If a loved one is admitted to any hospital, please contact the hospital’s Pastoral Care office. Each hospital has an assigned, full-time Catholic chaplain who will be certain to administer the sacrament of the sick and arrange for regular reception of Holy Communion. Our parish priests try to visit hospitalized parishioners as well, as their schedules permit. In the event of any emergency, a parish priest can be summoned to the stricken parishioner’s home. Once en route to a hospital, however, please request hospital personnel to immediately contact the chaplain.
A WORD ABOUT “THE LAST RITES” Technically speaking there is no such thing. At one time, what we practice now as the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick was offered only when a person was near death. This is why it was called, “Extreme Unction” (anointing in extreme circumstances) and commonly referred to as “last rites.” Today, any seriously ill or infirmed person can be anointed at any time; death need not be imminent. Persons scheduled for surgery likewise may be anointed before entering the hospital. The chaplain normally anoints all persons admitted to the hospital, particularly in an emergency. But when death becomes imminent, summon a priest immediately if you know the dying person has not been anointed (the chaplain, if the person is in a hospital; a parish priest if s/he is at home or a care facility within the parish boundaries). If s/he has been anointed, however, there is no need for “last rites.” The dear one has already been graced with the sacrament and is spiritually disposed to enter the presence of God.
A WORD ABOUT CREMATION Cremation of the body is an acceptable practice among Catholic faithful. However, the teaching of the Church still clearly prefers the burial or internment of the body as more in keeping with the dignity of the human body as a temple of the Holy Spirit; a body that was washed and anointed in Baptism and Confirmation, fed with the Body and Blood of Christ, and anointed in Sacrament of the Sick. If possible, cremation should occur sometime after the Funeral Mass and the remains interred at a later time. However, cremated remains may be present at the Funeral Mass and interred afterward. In keeping with respect for the human body, cremated remains are to be buried or interred in a proper cemetery. They are not to be kept in homes or sprinkled over land or water.
Baptisms, Funerals & Marriage Please visit our website: OLPHParish-nj.org for
further information and guidelines.

Dear Friends,
Peace and all good!
My mother taught me early on about the importance of story, and whether as a child, student, educator, or mom, stories have played an integral part of my life. Stories have the ability to take us places we may have only dreamed about, and they also have the incredible power to transform. One such story is Robert Munsch's, Love You Forever, a book that I read almost every night to my children. It touches to the very core of the relationship between a mother and her child (fathers as well)! Throughout the story, which chronicles a child's life, there is a repeated phrase:
I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.
These words ran through my mind while decorating our Christmas tree this past week. With each handmade ornament from our children, I found myself repeating the words:
I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.
It is not hard to imagine Mary saying the very same words to Jesus on the day of his birth, throughout his childhood, and at the foot of the cross:
I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.
This Christmas may we celebrate all God's children as we remember and celebrate the birth of Emmanuel, God-With-Us.
I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.
Christmas is a time for sharing God's love with friends and family. The Assumption Regional Catholic School family thanks you for your support during the past year. May hope, peace, joy, and love be your gift this Christmas and your blessing the year long!
Joan Dollinger

Stephen Ministers: THE AFTER PEOPLE
People often ask, "What exactly is a Stephen Minister?" One way to put it is that Stephen Ministers are the After People.
Stephen Ministers are there:
. . . after the phone call you hoped you'd never get.
. . . after the divorce papers are served and the bottom falls out of your life.
. . . after the funeral, when everyone has left and the emotions you've held at bay come crashing in on you.
. . . after the doctor says, "I'm sorry, but there's nothing more we can do."
. . . after the nursing home director shakes your hand and says, "Welcome to your new home."
. . . after the last child honks the horn, waves, and drives away-and the house suddenly seems empty.
. . . after the gavel goes down, the handcuffs go on, and your loved one is led away.
. . . after the baby arrives, demanding more of you than you ever dreamed possible.
. . . after you find a pink slip with your final paycheck.
. . . after your family and friends have heard your story one
too many times, but you still need to talk it out.
Stephen Ministers are the "After People." They are ready to come alongside you-or your friends, neighbors, coworkers, or relatives-and provide comfort and support for as long after as needed. www.stephenministries.org For confidential assistance contact Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish office (609) 652-0008 and someone from the team will be in touch.
