Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 9 2017
The Lord is generous and kind! We in the Diocese of Paterson are blessed by the many
vocations that give us priests for the future. The ordination of 11 diocesan priests and 2
Benedictine priests, last Saturday was joyful, holy, and deeply moving. Our beautiful cathedral
was packed to the rafters with many people who love and support our priests and parishes. The
liturgy lasted a little over two hours and through the grace of God and the imposition of hands by
our Bishop, thirteen young men have already begun to serve as priests at the Altar of the Lord.
Our newly ordained Fr. Michal and Fr. Andrew were thrilled by the huge representation of St. Rose
parishioners who came to support them on their big day. Both men have worked long and hard to prepare to be good
and holy priests. As their mentor, I am proud and confident that they will serve the Lord well all the days of their
lives. Let us however surround them with our prayers as they shepherd the many in our diocese.
Fr. Andrew has been appointed temporarily to assist at St. Anthony's Parish in Hawthorne. In August he will
visit his family and friends in Ohio and Florida to celebrate his First Mass with them. He returns to Rome in late
September to complete his Licentiate with a specialization in Sacred Scripture.
Fr. Michal returned to Poland on Friday evening with his family and priest friends. He will celebrate his
First Mass in his home parish on July 16th. Bishop Serratelli will have given each of the newly ordained, except the
men returning to Rome, their appointments this past Thursday. As I write this on Monday, July 3rd, we excitedly
await his assignment.
Fr. Andrew's First Mass last Sunday at 10am was a grace filled moment, especially as his dad Peter, a
permanent Deacon, assisted him. There was not a dry eye in the Church, as his mother Charlotte presented flowers
to our Blessed Mother after Holy Communion.
Fr. Michal's First Mass last Sunday at 12 noon was holy and joyful. Many of the parish whom he had
ministered to, our Knights, our Rosarians, our Catechesis, and our Antioch team supported him by their presence.
With profound emotion Fr. Michal's parents, Lillianna and Christopher, with his adopted American parents, Gerry
and Fred, presented the gifts of bread and wine to their son for the sacrifice of the Holy Mass.
A big thank you to everyone who worked so hard on preparing both First Mass's. A thank you to my Vicar,
Fr. Matthew, Rev. Mr. Kamil, Deacon Vin, Alex, the altar servers, readers, and seminarians. A big thank you to
those who gave so much of their musical talent, especially Jeanne Marie, Diego, our psalmist Nicole, the Choir, and
our violinist Michael. The Church could not have been as gorgeous if it wasn't for the help of so many who take care
of it, but I want to especially thank Helga, Ellen, and the "Let it Shine ministry."
Our parish indeed is a place of great hospitality, but also a place where people appreciate good food, and this
was reflected in the scrumptious lunch provided by you who volunteered to keep us well fed as many waited to
receive their first blessings from the newly ordained. Thanks to Anna from Sorrento's for donating the two gorgeous
cakes, a big thank you to Jeanne Taylor who coordinated the lunch and to the Rosarians and Knights who worked so
hard. Thanks also to our custodian Angelo for his hard work and attention to every detail these past busy days.
Finally thanks to my hard working and dedicated staff for all the little and big things to help make everything so
perfect.
Fr. Owen

Prayer for Priests
Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of our priests.
Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments.
Help our priests to be strong in their vocation. Set their souls on fire
with love for your people.
Grant them the wisdom, understanding and strength they need to
follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Inspire them with the vision of your
Kingdom.
Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel. Allow them to
experience joy in their ministry.
Help them to become instruments of your diving grace.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, who live and reigns as our Eternal
Priest. Amen
