A Word from the Pastor …
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am happy to present to you our new parochial vicar, Fr. Wojciech B.
Jaskowiak, who begins his assignment at St. Peter’s this weekend. He
replaces Fr. Mayhel Velasquez who served at our parish for the past year
and whom we thank for his ministry among us.
Fr. Wojciech (pronounced Voy-Check) comes to our parish with a wealth
of life and pastoral experiences which I am sure he will put to good use at
St. Peter’s. Originally from Poland, Fr. Wojciech came to this country in
1994 to receive his seminary formation at the Redemptoris Mater
Seminary in Kearny, NJ. His missionary formation included stints in
Siberia and Estonia. Fr. Wojciech was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Newark nine years ago, and served at Immaculate Heart of Mary/
St. Patrick parishes in Elizabeth. Subsequently, Fr. Wojciech was released
to do missionary on the Island of Guam, where he served as seminary
formator, parochial vicar and pastor. It was there that I had the great joy
of working with Fr. Wojciech.
Fr. Wojciech B. Jaskowiak
I am particularly indebted to Archbishop John J. Myers for assigning such a fine young priest to St. Peter’s.
From my communications with Fr. Wojciech in the past few weeks, I could sense an enormous enthusiasm
and gratitude for this assignment among us. I am sure you will make Fr. Wojciech welcome at our parish.
Please make sure you introduce yourselves to him in the coming days. Witamy (welcome) Fr. Wojciech!
We also welcome a very special visitor to our parish this coming week. The international travelling statue of
Our Lady of Fatima, here in the Archdiocese of Newark for a three-week period, will come to our parish this
Tuesday for a 24-hour period. The Church will be open for extensive periods to ensure that all our parishioners will get the opportunity to ask for the Blessed Mother’s heavenly intercession and receive her maternal protection. The phones at the rectory have been ringing off the hook these past days with parishioners
at neighboring parishes enquiring about the visit by Our Lady of Fatima. May we, the faithful at St. Peter’s,
show her the same kind of devotion and love during these special days.
This week also see the beginning of a “Fortnight for Freedom,” called forth by our bishops due to a serious
situation we have been faced with and which can seriously jeopardize religious freedom in this country. The
recent mandate by the Department of Health and Human Services forcing employers to provide insurance
coverage that includes immoral means of contraception and abortion-inducing medication, is an enormous
threat to the religious landscape in the U.S. During the coming days, especially now that we approach Independence Day, we are invited to pray that our lawmakers may be enlightened on this important matter. In
agreement with the parishes in our New Energies Cluster, we will keep our Church open from 7AM to 4PM
the next two Fridays (June 22 and 29) for those who wish to come and pray for the defense of religious freedom (St. Anthony’s in Silver Lake will remain open on Tuesdays while Most Holy Name in East Orange will
be open Thursdays). At all daily masses from June 21 to July 4, we will recite a prayer for freedom provided
by our bishops, at the end of the Prayer of the Faithful. You can also find the text on page 3 of this bulletin in
case you wish to pray it at home.
A Blessed Sunday to all,
Fr. Ivan Sciberras

improvement in our spiritual and physical well-being. After
the Mass, we will serve a light lunch in the Rectory. If you

VISIT OF THE INTERNATIONAL PILGRIMSTATUE OF THE VIRGIN OF FATIMA
JUNE 19–20, 2012
Arrival: June 19th
Tuesday 12 Noon
Departure: June 20th
Wednesday 12 Noon
A ‘Rosary for Life’ will be
prayed June 19 at 7PM
in the Church.
My Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I write today to urge you to speak
with clarity and strength against efforts by the
current federal Administration to define what a
Catholic institution is, and to impose restrictions and rules that would, if implemented
require Catholic institutions-and Catholics
themselves-to violate Church teaching and
tradition.
Beginning June 21 and continuing until July 4, every
diocese across the nation will be participating in a Fortnight of
Freedom to call for an end to an intrusion into the ordering of
Church institutions. Throughout these two weeks a number of
national and regional events will take place, such as June 8 Mass
and Rally in Trenton. I encourage you to participate in this local
event and become more informed about how fragile this first and
most precious of all of our freedoms has become in recent years.
I I also encourage you to bring the matter into your local parish
and wider community. For example, the parish can host a viewing of such appropriately-themed films as A Man for All Season of
The War of the Vendee, or sponsor a trip to the soon-to-released
For Greater Glory, followed by a discussion back at the parish. Or
use materials available online at www.rcan.org/religiousliberty
and www.fortnight4freedom.org for other parish based sessions
and outreach to let our elected representatives in Washington
know what we as American citizens and Catholics stand for.
Let me be clear: Fortnight for Freedom and the Church’s
efforts to halt imposition of Health and Human Services rules is
not about contraceptives is already widespread. Most nonChurch employers provide this coverage, and even without coverage, birth-control pills can be obtained at low cost. The Church
is merely seeking to ensure that Government does not become
involved in what we teach or starts to erode our first of all freedoms.
With kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely in the Lord,
Most Reverend John J. Myers
Archbishop of Newark
PRAYER FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Almighty God, Father of all nations, for freedom you have set us
free in Christ Jesus (Gal 5:1).
We praise and bless you for the gift of religious liberty, the foundation of human rights, justice, and the common good. Grant to
our leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties; by
your grace may we have the courage to defend them, for ourselves and for all those who live in this blessed land.
We ask this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our
patroness, and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in
the unity of the Holy Spirit, with whom you live and reign, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Pope Benedict XVI
CONTEMPLATION OF
CHRIST DOES NOT DISTANCE US FROM REALITY
St. Paul's experience of contemplation and the power
of prayer, as recounted in his Second Letter to the Corinthians, provided the central theme of Benedict XVI's catechesis during Wednesday’s General Audience.
Paul did not respond to the voices questioning the
legitimacy of his apostolate by enumerating the communities
he had founded, nor did he limit himself to recounting the
difficulties he had had to face in announcing the Gospel.
Rather, the Pope explained, "he pointed to his relationship
with the Lord, ... which was so intense as to be marked by
moments of ecstasy and profound contemplation". Indeed, the
Apostle says: "I will boast all the more gladly of my weakness,
so that the power of Christ may dwell in me".
Thus the Apostle of the Gentiles helps us to understand "that all the difficulties we meet in following Christ and
bearing witness to His Gospel can be overcome by opening
ourselves trustingly to the action of the Lord ... St. Paul clearly
understood how to face and experience each event in his life,
especially those involving suffering, difficulty and persecution:
at the moment we feel our own weakness the power of God
becomes manifest, a power which does not abandon or leave
us alone but becomes our support and our strength".
"As our union with the Lord grows and our prayer
becomes more intense, we too come to focus on the essential
and to understand that it is not the power of our own means
that creates the Kingdom of God, but God Who works miracles through our very weakness", the Pope said.
The intense contemplation of God which St. Paul
experienced was, like that of the disciples on Mount Tabor,
"enthralling and tremendous". Contemplating the Lord is
"enthralling because He draws us to Himself, seizing our
hearts and carrying them aloft to His heights were we experience the peace and beauty of His love. It is tremendous because it exposes our human frailty and inadequacy, the fatigue
of defeating the Evil One who ensnares our lives".
"In a world in which we risk relying only on the
power of human means, we are called to rediscover and bear
witness to the power of prayer, through which we grow day
by day as our lives are conformed to that of Christ", said the
Holy Father. He then went on to recall the Nobel Prize-winner
and Protestant theologian Albert Schweitzer who said that
"'Paul is a mystic and nothing more than a mystic', a man truly
enamoured of Christ and so united to Him as to able to say:
Christ lives in me. St. Paul's mysticism was not founded only
on the exceptional events of his life, but also on his intense
daily relationship with the Lord, Who always supported him
with His Grace.
100TH BIRTHDAY OF ARCHBISHOP
EMERITUS PETER LEO GERETY
Archbishop Myers is inviting 10
parishioners to represent St. Peter’s Church at the Mass in honor
of the 100th birthday of Archbishop
Emeritus Peter Leo Gerety on July
19, 2012 at 3:00 pm. If you are interested, please call the rectory no
later than June 25th.
STATUE OF THE BLESSED MOTHER
FOR THE PARISH GARDENS
Many Parishioners have demonstrated a great
interest in obtaining a lifesize statue of the Blessed
Mother for the grounds of our Parish. If you would like
to participate in this great endeavor, please attend the
next meeting scheduled for Wednesday June 20 th at
7:30 p.m. in the Rectory.
For more information, please call Deacon Bill
Valladares at 973-667-1323.
SERVICE CLUSTER

Continuation of Pope Benedict XVI...
"In our own life of prayer we too may experience
moments of particular intensity in which we feel the Lord's
presence more keenly", Benedict XVI added. "But it is important to remain constant and faithful in our relationship
with God, especially in moments of aridity, difficulty and
suffering. Only if we are seized by the love of Christ will we
be able to face adversity, as Paul did, in the conviction that
we can do all things through Him Who gives us strength".
The Holy Father went on: "The more space we give to
prayer, the more we will see our lives transformed and animated by the real power of God's love. This is what happened, for example, to Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta
who, in contemplating Jesus, discovered the ultimate reason and incredible strength to recognize Him in the poor
and abandoned, despite her fragile figure.
"The contemplation of Christ in our life does not distance us
from reality", the Pope concluded. "It makes us even more
involved in human affairs, because the Lord, drawing us to
Himself in prayer, enables us to remain close to all our
brothers and sisters in His love".

From the Principal’s Desk
The month of June signals the end of the school
year. It is a time of reflection as we look back on the
past year with joyful memories and look forward to the
2012-2013 school year. Congratulations to the class of
2012 as they leave the halls of St. Peter’s School and
begin anew.
Summer is fast approaching. Although school
has ended, it is important for parents to encourage our
students to practice their faith; please take them to
church regularly. God never takes a vacation.
In the month of June we say good-bye to a
member of St.Peter’s School community. Mrs. Patricia
Sauchelli, school secretary, is retiring after nine years of
service to spend more time with her family. I offer my
heartfelt thanks to her for all the help she has given me
these past two years. May God continue to bestow
upon her many well-deserved blessings as she begins a
new chapter in her life. “Well done good and faithful
servant.”

ORACIÓN POR LA PROTECCIÓN
DE LOS DERECHOS DE CONCIENCIA
29 de Mayo 2012
Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
Les escribo en el día de hoy para
exhorterlos a hablar con claridad y fuerza
contra los esfuerzos de la actual Administración Federal para definer lo que es una
institución Católica, e imponer restricciones y normas, que si aplican, requieren
que las instituciones Católicas—y los mismo católicos—la enseñanza de la Iglesia y su tradición.
Comenzando el 21 de Junio y continuando hasta el 4
de Julio, participamos en una Quincena por la Libertad para
reclamar que termine la coaccion institucion por parte del
gobierno en contra de la conciencia y la intrusión del gobierno
en eil orden de las instituciones de la Iglesia. También pueden
utilizar materials disponibles en línea en los contatar a
nuestros representase electos en Washington para hacerles
saber. Nuestra opinión como ciudadanos Americanos y Católicos.
Permítanme ser claro: la Quincena por la Libertad y
los esfuerzos de la Iglesia pordetener la imposición de las normas de Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos no son
sobre la anticoncepción. El accesso a los anticonceptivos ya
está extendido. La mayoría de los empleadores no relacionados con la Iglesia ofrecen esta cobertura, e incluso sin cobertura, las píldoras anticonceptivas pueden obtenerse a bajo
costo. La Iglesia implemente esta tratando de asegurar que el
Gobierno no entervenga en lo que enseñamos o comience a
erosionar la principal de nuestras libertades.
Con amables saludos personales, quedo
Sinceramente en el Señor,
S.S. Reverendísima John J. Myers
Arzobispo de Newark
