Ordinary Time
Dear Parish Family,
The Change-A-Life ministry has hit the ground running with great enthusiasm. Their first initiative as a committee
came after the third meeting when they proposed the parish donate the Stations of the Cross and Resurrected
Christ from the old church to the parish in Africa. These fine quality sacred images were only gathering considerable dust as well as paint speckle through the years. I thought this was a marvelous idea and very much in keeping
with our Holy Father Pope Francis directives to turn our attention to the poor.
No sooner had I endorsed this proposal when the team descended on the old Church to not only remove them but
also clean, remove years of paint speckle and repair them. Some of the stations were damaged so each one was restored. Mark from the UPS store across County Line Road, next to Stop n Shop, volunteered to carefully pack each
one for shipment. They were taken by the Change-A-Life Medical Team as luggage on their mission of mercy.
When the team arrived in Kampala their luggage and the Stations ended up in England. Eventually the Stations
made their way to the parish and have been mounted on the walls there to the great joy of the people who have
been struggling for years to complete their Church. Photos are available online!
Here is the communication I received from St. Aloysius Parishioner, Jean Semler and her medical team:
"Fr. Lawrence and the parish priests, Fr. Paul and Fr. Aloysius are so grateful for the gift of the Stations of the
Cross. You'll see from the photos that the Church and altar are unfinished, however the walls, roof, window frames
are in. Glass for the windows will be installed this week thanks to a recent fundraising effort from the Christian
community. The Church has been at this stage for a number of years but step by step it will be finished. Now the
Church has Stations of the Cross...a gift from St. Aloysius Church community and Fr. Bambrick. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way especially Bernie and Clare who did the "restoration". If you see Mark, the owner of
UPS store, please thank him for us.”
All is well in Uganda. The medical mission team is on their way back to the US as I write this. They performed
physicals on 460 children - establishing a baseline and identifying tinea (ring worm), intestinal worms, malaria,
one case of TB, poor vision etc. The Ob-Gyn MD performed physicals and cervical cancer screening on 90 women.
She brought an ultra scan which identified fibroids and other irregularities. It was an amazing week. We visited
homes of the families who are participating in our Gardens for Health program which teaches the mothers and
grandmothers how to raise and cook a variety of food to prevent and treat malnutrition in the children."
Now our two parishes are connected by the Way of the Cross, how very beautiful. May we always walk together
with The Lord of Compassion sharing each others joys and burdens. This first project is a beautiful testament of
our common faith, thanks so much to our newest ministry team for this wonderful idea and for making it a reality
especially for our poor brothers and sisters in Africa! I feel so much joy in my heart to be part of a community of
love and caring!
Peace and Good - Fr. Bambrick

Your immediate help is needed:
Contact your Legislators to Oppose Assisted Suicide Bill in NJ
(From the Department of Pastoral Care at the Diocese of Trenton)
As you may know, the New Jersey Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee released A2270, the Death with
Dignity Act, from Committee to the full Assembly and on June 5 two amendments were made to the bill: the name
of the bill was changed to the NJ Aid in Dying for the Terminally Ill Act; and the bill was changed from a
referendum ballot question to a bill to be voted on in the Assembly. The NJ Aid in Dying for the Terminally Ill Act
will be posted for a vote in the full Assembly in September.
The proposed “Aid to Dying for the Terminally Ill” Act, A2270/S382 would give patients with a prognosis of less
than six months to live, the ability to request a lethal prescription to end his/her life. A prognosis of six months to
live can be wildly inaccurate. And it’s a medical fact that many terminally ill patients are clinically depressed and
could benefit enormously from counseling and medication, yet a required consultation with a psychiatrist or
hospice care expert is absent in the proposed law. There is no requirement to notify family members either.
Excerpts from the US Catholic Conference of Bishops on this issue: Assisted suicide would demean the lives of
vulnerable patients, exposing them to exploitation by those who feel they are better off dead. The poor, the elderly,
those lacking insurance and those with disabilities would be the first to feel pressure to die. In an era of cost control and managed care, patients with lingering illnesses may be branded an economic liability, and decisions to
encourage death can be driven by cost. With modern pain control methods, physical suffering can be brought
under control for all dying patients.
Parishioners are urged to contact their representatives NOW to voice opposition to this deadly piece of legislation.
Send an email through https://votervoice.net/njcc/home or call the NJ Legislature at 609-847-3905 (Toll Free 800792-8630) for the contact information for your Legislators.

The 2015 Mass book is now open. Each parishioner is asked to respect and adhere to the policy of 2 Masses per
family as we may only accept one intention per Mass in accordance with Canon Law. With the limited amount of
Masses available in a year (572) and the size of our parish (over 5000 families), we have instituted many ways for a
long term remembrance of a loved one. We ask that you consider selecting one of these alternatives:
Perpetual Enrollment – 12 Masses celebrated the 1st Friday of each month at 8:00am ($25.00 donation for 12 Masses).
Nursing Home Masses – Masses are celebrated the first Tuesday at the Bartley Nursing facility and the fourth
Tuesday at the CareOne facility, both in Jackson ($10.00 donation per Mass).
Spiritual Remembrance - remember a significant milestone for the living or deceased by dedicating the items we
use for worship. A card is provided noting the item and time of dedication, and the names are printed in the
bulletin.
The Gift of Bread and Wine – Can be offered for one week (Sunday through Saturday) for a donation of $50.00
Devotional Lamps are silent sentinels lifting up our prayer intentions to the Lord even when we cannot be physically present in the church. You can honor or remember a loved one with one of the Devotional or Shrine Candles
in the Church.
Sanctuary, Blessed Mother and Holy Family Devotional Candles will be lit in honor or memory of your loved one
($25.00 donation for one week)
Shrine Candles – Located at the entrance of the Church, these candles will be lit in honor or memory of your loved
one and includes a label listing your loved one’s name for a period of one year ($250.00 donation per year)
Altar Rosary Garden – Remember loved ones, a special occasion or, any important milestone with an engraved
brick in the commemorative area of the garden ($125.00 per paver)
Stars of St. Aloysius – Honor or remember someone who may have been a light in your life with a light pendant in
the church. There are a limited number of lights available in several areas of the church ($500.00 donation).
Please call the parish secretary, Pat Mulholland, at the Parish Office for request forms & additional information.

come, ask questions and find out if this is right for you. There is no commitment when you come to
Inquiry, but if you want to pursue initiation, we’ll tell you what steps need to be taken. Join us for Inquiry, check
the parish website or call Jen for information. Our next meeting date will be Tuesday, July 15 at 7:00 p.m.

conversational, adult learning with a little bit of required reading. You will learn A LOT about the Bible,
your faith and yourself. For more information please contact Jen in the Parish Office at 732-370-0500 ext. 205.

Breaking Open the Word at Home by Sister Eileen Ivory, O.P.
Many years ago I spent the month of July volunteering in North Carolina working with
migrant farm workers. Because of my circumstances I was very aware of farms and planting
and weather. Each day when I would read the daily Scripture readings I would marvel at how much emphasis was
placed on nature and farming. Naturally those readings were the same even when I was in New Jersey but there
among the farm workers the Scripture seemed especially alive.
Today’s readings from Isaiah and the Gospel of Matthew brought me back to the fields of North Carolina. Isaiah, in
simple terms, lays out the cycle of life for us. From rain right through to bread on the table he points out the
connectedness of all things in life. We know that the things of Church – sacraments and statues and candles remind us of God. Let’s remember that the things of life – rain and soil and seed and bread also are signs of God’s
presence and proclaim the connectedness of all.
Kids: Nature speaks to us of God. Be sure to spend some time outdoors and notice what you can learn about God.
Teens: Pay attention to the readings at Mass. If you’d like to read Scripture you can easily find the readings for
any given Sunday on the Internet. Ask yourself how the readings connect to your experience this summer.
Adults: As you gather at table this summer be sure to give thanks for all of God’s gifts. Take nothing for granted.
Don’t forget to pray for those whose labor brought the food to your table. Parents, help your kids to understand
that food didn’t just come from the grocery store. An appreciation of the source of our food can be a religion lesson.

COMUNIDAD HISPANA DE LA PARROQUIA ST. ALOYSIUS
Domingo 13 de julio 2014 - XV Domingo Ordinario
Cuando el Señor pronunció la parábola del sembrador, se valió de figuras conocidas para la
comunidad de labradores y pastores que le escuchaba. Jesús les habló del poder de la Palabra de Dios y del llamado que el Señor hace a todo el que quiera abrir el corazón al amor
del Padre.
El Señor ama tanto a su creación que esparce la semilla de su Palabra a los cuatro vientos, dejándola caer en todo
tipo de terreno. No reservó su valiosísima semilla solo para la tierra buena o los de corazón puro, sino que la esparció generosamente sobre todo tipo de corazones, incluso los pedregosos y llenos de espinas. La Palabra de Dios
es poderosa y no regresa a él sin haber cumplido el propósito para el cual fue pronunciada (Isaías 55, 10-11). Incluso
donde el terreno distaba mucho de ser ideal, el trigo creció y produjo una cosecha.
Cuando pensamos en el poder vivificante de la Palabra de Dios y en el Espíritu que la hace germinar, se nos ocurre
preguntarnos: “¿Qué tipo de terreno soy yo? ¿Echa raíces profundas en mí la Palabra de Dios? ¿Aprovecho las
oportunidades que Dios me da para que esa palabra crezca?” Por eso, cuando nos encontremos con alguien a quien
nos cuesta amar, clamemos al Señor: “¡Señor, ablanda el terreno de mi corazón y hazlo fecundo!”
Cuando te asalten pensamientos de amargura, cólera o desconsuelo, pídele a Dios que te dé el poder de superarlos:
“¡Señor, ablanda mi corazón!” Cristo nos invita cada día, con sencillez, a entregarnos en sus manos y pedirle que su
Espíritu Santo haga más dócil nuestro corazón. Pero no permitas que el fracaso te desaliente, porque si hasta la
creación “misma va a ser liberada de la esclavitud de la corrupción” (v. Romanos 8, 21), ¡cuánto más los hijos
tendremos la oportunidad de acercarnos a Dios y recibir su gracia!
