Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time August 12, 2018
First Reading: I Kings 19:4-8
Queen Jezebel had vowed to kill Elijah, who went into the de-
sert and prayed for death. Instead he went to sleep and was
awakened by an angel, who told him to eat the food God had
given him. He ate and went back to sleep, but God’s angel
again woke him and told him to eat. Strengthened by the food,
he got up and walked forty days and nights to the mountain of
God.
Second Reading: Ephesians 4:30-5:2
Paul appeals to the Ephesians to get rid of bitterness, anger,
and malice. Instead they must be kind, compassionate, and
forgiving just as God has been. We must be imitators of Christ,
and love one another as he has loved us.
Gospel: John 6:41-51
The Jews were not convinced that Jesus was the bread that
came down from heaven. But he again explains that he is the
bread of life. He tells them that anyone who believes and eats
this bread shall live forever. He explains that the bread he will
give is his flesh, for the life of the world.

Immaculate Heart of Mary Mission Appeal (Part I of II)
Once a year each parish in the Diocese of Paterson welcomes a missionary representative assigned by the Mission Office to make a missionary appeal. The appeal is known as the Missionary Cooperation Plan. Bishop Serratelli and all who work at the Mis-sion Office in the Paterson Diocese are grateful to all for the extra effort during the summer whereby appeals are made to help those who live in mission areas of the world. During the past year, the Diocese of Paterson contributed a total of $266,944.98 to mission works to propagate faith in Jesus Christ.
Next weekend August 11/12, Fr. Andre Kazadi – CICM (Latin: Congreg Immaculati Cordis Mariae, Congregation of the Im-maculate Heart of Mary) will be visiting the parish to present our annual mission appeal. Fr. Andre is assigned to the foreign mission of the United States of America, and will be sharing with us his life and dedication to the people he serves. Fr. Andre was born on March 16, 1974 in Dibaya, Kasai Occidental, Democratic Republic of Congo - DRC, and entered the novitiate in Mbudi, Kinshasa, DRC in 1993. He made his first profession of vows on October 7, 1994, and studied philosophy in Kinshasa at St. Augustine Institute. Fr. Andre received his first missionary assignment in the United States, and became part of the CICM United States Province. From 1997 to 2003 Fr. Andre completed his internship and alternated with theological studies at Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas where he graduated with a Masters of Divinity; and, was ordained a priest on May 25, 2003 in McAllen, Texas. Upon ordination Fr. Andre served at St Francis Xavier Church, in Santa Rosa, Texas and was appointed pastor of St. Mary ’s Church, Santa Rosa, Texas in 2006. In 2008 he was appointed pastor of St. Patrick Church in San Antonio, Texas where he stayed until 2014. In 2014 Fr Andre was appointed as the Assistant General Treasurer in Rome and elected CICM General Councilor in April, 2015 with residence in Rome, Italy until the end of his term in 2017. Presently Fr. Andre is serving as the Vice Provincial of the US Missionhurst-CICM Province where he helps the Missionhurst Development Office to promote awareness among the faithful, and makes appeals to help support the missionary projects of Missionhurst members around the world. Missionhurst – CICM was originally founded in 1862 by a Belgium Diocesan Priest, Theophile Verbist, for the evangelization of China. Today, Missionhurst – CICM serves in some of the most remote places of Mongolia, Indonesia, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Unlike some relief organizations that come only when there is news-making crisis, Missionhurst – CICM missionaries come prepared to stay, live among people, share in their privations, and participate in the day-to-day effort needed to achieve life-long spir-itual and material changes. In response to the people’s most urgent need, Missionhurst – CICM missionaries may start a new farming project, build a new chapel or school, or lay clean water supply lines.
On behalf of Fr. Andre Kazadi, I ask you to support his work and that of Missionhurst – CICM. Next weekend a second col-
lection will be taken on behalf of this appeal. Please know that checks given to the Appeal should be made out to St. Patrick Church.
With your help and participation in this mission appeal, you become part of his mission. In next week ’s bulletin I will include infor-
mation that pertains to locations of Missionhurst throughout the world as well as more detailed information about the Congregation of
the Immaculate Heart of Mary also known as Scheut Missionaries. We all have the opportunity to give from the heart as well as in-
clude missionary activity in our prayers knowing that through our help we can better someone’s life, and provide an opportunity for
more people to share in the blessings of God’s creation.
In Christ’s Love,
Fr. Bob

about helping with this ministry will be in the church lobby! Con-
sider helping out. Make it a family project! Take a set of the pans
provided with the accompanying recipe and instructions. Return
the two pans of chili you’ve prepared and frozen the following
weekend. It’s that easy! The food we provide is much needed
and greatly appreciated!
Walking with Purpose Are you interested in getting together with a group of
women to explore your faith? Through personal
study and small group discussion, the group helps to
link our everyday challenges and struggles to the
solutions given to us through the teachings of Christ and the
Church. This year’s courses include Keeping in Balance and
Discovering Our Dignity. Join us for 22 Thursday mornings be-
ginning Sept. 27, 2018. Free babysitting is provided. The cost is
$100 which includes books. For complete details or to register,

with Purpose logo on the homepage to be directed to the Walk-
ing with Purpose page. Contact Mary Rohe with any questions
Liturgy of the Word with Children and Children’s Church
Ever wonder what happens at the 9 am mass when the children
leave during Liturgy of the Word? Once the children line up be-
hind the leader, they proceed to the classrooms located under the
church and split into 2 groups. Children’s Church is for children
ages 3-6 and Liturgy of the Word with Children is for children in
Kindergarten through grade 3. The children then hear the same
readings that the parishioners in the church are hearing, adapted
in words that are easy for children to understand. By participating
in the Liturgy of the Word with Children and Children’s Church, it
inspires children to participate more fully, opens the stories of
scripture for them at their level of understanding, and treats them
as active participants in the mass. It is offered during the 9 am
mass during the school year with the exception of most holiday
weekends. No prior sign up necessary! Volunteers are always
needed and welcome to assist with this ministry. Training is pro-
vided and lasts about 30 minutes. Leaders are scheduled based
on the weekends they are available to be a leader. Be scheduled
as often or little as you like. All materials are provided. To learn
more about this ministry or to volunteer, please contact Karen
Hoerrner, Coordinator of Religious Education, at the parish office,
973-635-0625 ext. 171 or [email protected].
Vocationist Fathers Raffle
Representatives of the Vocationist Fathers will be here on Satur-
day, August 25 and Sunday, August 26 to sell 50/50 raffle tickets
to support young men who hear the call of the Lord to become
Catholic priests. If you are interested in helping these young men
and maybe even win some money, please see the representa-
tives outside the church on August 25 & 26. The 50/50 Raffle will
be drawn on November 10, 2018 at the Birchwood Manor. Win-
ners do not need to be present.
The Ascension and The Assumption
The Ascension refers to our Lord’s bodily entrance into
Heaven by His own power on the fortieth day after Easter.
It is described at length in Acts 1:1-14, and is mentioned
briefly in Mark 16:19-20 and in Luke 24:50-53. In the Pater-
son Diocese, this holy day is still celebrated on the 40th day
after Easter, a Thursday, while in many other dioceses, this
feast has been moved to the following Sunday and replaces the
Seventh Sunday of Easter.
This coming Wednesday, we celebrate the Holyday of Obliga-
tion of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Assump-
tion refers to the taking up, body and soul, of the Blessed Virgin
Mary at the end of her earthly life. In this case, the word as-
sumption (as contrasted with Ascension) indicates that she was
taken to heaven by a power other than herself. The Assumption
is not recorded in Sacred Scripture, but there are several an-
cient writings regarding the “Dormition” of Mary. On November
1, 1950, Pope Pius XII declared the Assumption an article of
faith and what is referred to as an ex cathedra decree by the
Pope. The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is always
celebrated liturgically on August 15th.

A BIG thank you to all
the volunteers who
made last week’s visit a
success. We housed 5
adults and 8 children at
St. Patrick Church. About 25 volunteers from our parish donated
food and other items, made meals, spent time and stayed over-
night with the homeless families! The guests were greeted with
welcome baskets of body washes, lotions, shampoos and other
personal care items. The Bolster Family treated the families to
an outing to see Cinderella in Madison. McCool’s donated a gift
card for ice cream. We thank our new volunteers (we had quite
a few), our existing volunteers and the parish for their kindness,
compassion and continued prayers for these families as they
continue their journey to independence.
If you are interested in getting involved with this ministry, please email Tina Mazzola at [email protected] or Debbie McDonough at [email protected] and we will add you to the Sign-up Genius email list.

SAINT PATRICK SCHOOL
MUSIC MINISTRY
Singing Brings People into Communion
Singing draws people together. Physiologically, our
breathing unites as we sing the same phrases, and our minds
and emotions are shaped similarly by the experience. We be-
come spiritually united when our outer selves (what we call "me"
or "I") begin to melt into the background, and our inner selves
(what we call "soul," or made in God's image) begin to reach out
and connect.
I believe that very different musical styles can be equally
capable of bringing people into communion with each other. The
style that most unites a given group of people depends on how
well the style matches their culture and musical experiences. For
example, two different languages can say "I love you" equally
well, but the language understood by the listener will communi-
cate it best.
Let's look at two extreme styles: Gregorian Chant and Gos-
pel music. How can both of these styles be effective at uniting
people when they sing them? With each style, the spirits of wor-
shippers become connected when their outer or individual
selves are in the background and their God-like inner selves
come into the foreground. The styles achieve this in different
ways.
Chant helps to minimize our outer self, because its calm-
ness stills our body. It calms us with connected pitches, slow
pulse, lack of repeated rhythms, no sudden changes in dynam-
ics, and no harmony. It feels unearthly, still, and eternal. ("Be
still, and know that I am God.") As our outer selves settle back,
meditation takes over, and the inner self comes to the forefront.
Everyone singing experiences the same thing, so that our God-
like spirits are no longer divided so much by the outer parts of us
that make us different.
Gospel music is on the other side of the spectrum from
chant; it draws us together, but in a different way. Gospel rouses
our ears and minds with strong dynamics, lush harmonies, high
and low intervals, rhythms with recognizable patterns that draw
us in, and high and low notes that catch our attention. The pulse
is strong enough that our own heart rates may be stirred. The
music is in fact so gripping that the inner self must decide,
"Should I let down my inhibitions and engage enthusiastically?"
Those who engage in the music may clap their hands and move
their bodies. They allow their spirits to be free--to triumph over
their inhibitions. The music fills us with so much spirit that we are
no longer worried about our inhibitions. The inner self reaches
out to connect with those around us.
When we’ve become familiar with a style of music at a young
age, just like learning a language, that style can speak to us
well, and be effective and draw us into communion, regardless
of the characteristics of that style.
