Dear Parishioners,
Today, the church throughout the world celebrates Trinity Sunday. The mystery of the Holy Trinity is the core belief of our faith, and that of every other mainline Christian group. We believe that Almighty God is one undivided unity, yet reveals Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We call this a mystery, because no matter how hard we try, we will never be able to fully figure out exactly how this works. We simply believe it, and honestly, I’m ok with that. As much as we all like to “know” everything, there is a place in life for mystery, for admitting that there are some things that are just beyond our abilities to understand.
A very Happy Father’s Day to all fathers, grandfathers and godfathers in our parish. I pray God’s blessings upon all of you and those whom you love. Someone once said, and I completely agree, that any male can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a “dad.”
As promised, I have included for you the letter I read from the Cardinal last week concerning the official start of the We Are His Witnesses pastoral conversion process. I ask you to read this and to go onto the web site to learn more about it. I must stress to you, as the Cardinal says, that this is not just another in a long line of programs. This is a process that has the potential of changing the face of the Archdiocese of Newark for the foreseeable future, and will have an impact on our own parish.
Going forward, there will be many opportunities for you to have input in this process, the Cardinal is serious when he says that he wants to hear from you.
Please watch the bulletin and listen to the parish announcements as more information becomes available.
Fr. Armand
WE’RE SCOUTING FOR UNIFORMS
Do you have a Cub Scout or Boy Scout uniform hanging in your closet that is not used anymore? Please consider donating it to the uniform exchange. Through this uniform exchange, the Scouting program at St. Gen’s helps to ease that burden for its member families. Scouts are often able to find a shirt, pants, belt, hat, neckerchief or neckerchief slide that has been donated by a former member, or by a current member who has outgrown the uniform. Donations can be placed at any time in the American flag retirement box next to Webby’s Wood Shed, behind the church Rectory. For more details please contact Dan Bernier, Scoutmaster at (908) 451-1948 or webfoottroop@gmail.com
