Fathers of Children with Special Needs Fathers of Children with Special Needs Fathers of Children with Special Needs Fathers of Children with Special Needs Coming TogetherComing TogetherComing TogetherComing Together
Often fathers of children with special needs feel iso-lated from the experiences of other fathers. This can weigh heavy on dads when combined with the addi-tional expenses, medical and school issues and stresses on a family that are often associated with having a child with special needs. Therefore, a group of fathers of children with special needs have come together to form a group so that they can learn from and
strengthen each other to be better fathers (and have some fun too!). If you are the father of a child (of any
age) with special needs, come to:

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
IS BATTLING SEXUAL ABUSE
While most media focus over the past ten or more years has been on the incidents of sexual abuse within the Church, little has been said about the many posi-tive steps that the Catholic Church has taken to ad-dress the issue. Dioceses across the country, and es-pecially the Archdiocese of Newark, have instituted compassionate outreach to victims and support ser-vices, training and background checks for staff and volunteers, training for children and youth, codes of conduct, reporting requirements to civil authorities, independent Review Boards to investigate allegations
and recommend actions under Canon law for offend-
ers, as well as other initiatives.
To date, the Catholic Church is the only youth-serving organization in the country – private or public -- to undertake such a comprehensive program to create and promulgate safe environments for children and
young people.
Independent auditors from the United States Confer-ence of Catholic Bishops have found the Archdiocese of Newark to be fully compliant with the requirements of the Charter for the Protection of Children and
Young People in every year since audits began in 2003.

DISCERNMENT RETREAT
On January 10-11-12, 2014 the Office for Vocations for Religious Life of the Archdiocese of Newark will organize a discernment retreat for men and women to
discern Religious Life.
The discernment retreat is for men and women ages 18-35 (exceptions can be made). Discernment should be part of the life of every young person. Attending a discernment retreat means that a young person puts some time aside to allow the Lord to speak to his/her heart, and so any young person who is desirous to do so is welcome to this retreat. Register as soon as possi-
ble.

‘CATHOLIC’ NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
Time is a most precious gift. As we see time through the eyes of faith, it becomes an
opportunity to grow in grace. May the year 2014 be a true year of grace for
each of us at Saint Anne’s. To aid us in holding the gift of Christmas
throughout the year, may I suggest the following ideas for New Year’s
Resolutions:
1. Attend daily Mass once or twice a month;
2. Participate in one of our novenas;
3. Set aside some time each day to read the Scriptures;
4. Do not leave Mass right after Communion – Sing the final song. Spend
some time in meditation. Don’t rush your prayer.
5. Join one of our Societies (Holy Name, Rosary Society, Legion of Mary,
Padre Pio, St. Joseph’s Morning Prayer Group, Choir, etc) and share
your faith in community;
6. Pick a ministry the parish needs and develop it with friends and family;
7. Pray for vocations in this time of need;
8. Evaluate your involvement in the parish and pledge a gift of time;
9. Say the rosary;
10. Pick a corporal work of mercy and make our faith incarnate;
11. Become a coach and help our youth have real adult role models;
12. Share a “cost of living” donation in your envelope;
13. Use E-Giving or our parish envelope system;
14. Celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation by developing a confessor.
Take time to grow with this very unique and very Catholic Sacrament.
One of the seven precious Sacramental ways the Lord reminds us of
His tender love.
Pick one, two, or three resolutions and each month renew your pledge so that it
becomes a habit or second nature to your person. This will let Christmas lead
to Easter.
