An early preacher, Saint Methodius, reflects instead on her name, noting that, in Greek, Agatha means good, goodness being something we can all strive for, nobly born or common, blessed with beauty or not! So brutal the tortures that violated her youthful innocence, Agatha, like Agnes and several other women martyrs, was honored from time immemorial by having her name inscribed in the Roman Canon (Eucharistic Prayer I). Recent attention has focused on the particularly cruel torture decreed for Agatha, the cutting off of her breasts. This has inspired cancer survivors to promote Saint Agatha as patron and intercessor for women courageously facing breast cancer, for their families and the multitude of supporters who participate in fundraising marches and races, and, of course, for the dedicated researchers who seek a cure. OFIAROWANIE PAŃSKIE Święto Ofiarowania Pańskiego, Matki Boskiej Gromnicznej jest świętem chrześcijańskim, upamiętniającym ofiarowanie Jezusa Chrystusa w świątyni jerozolimskiej, zgodnie z prawem Mojżeszowym w 40. dniu od narodzenia Jezusa. Tym samym kończymy okres Bożego Narodzenia w naszych Kosciołach. Zgodnie ze zwyczajem w tym dniu zostaną poświęcone świece które będziemy używać przez nastepny rok przy głównym ołtarzu. Donacja za świece $5. Koszyki na ten cel będą umieszczone przy szopce w tym i następnym tygodniu. BŁOGOSŁAWIEŃSTWO 3 lutego będziemy udzielać specjalnego błogosławieństwa mającego uprosić za pośrednictwem św. Błażeja uleczenie i zapobieżenie chorobom gardła.

Dear Parishioners, Each year the Archbishop appeals to all Roman Catholics in the Archdiocese of Newark to generously support the diocesan wide ministries offered directly by our Archdiocese. Catholic Charities conduct 25 sites throughout Essex, Union, Hudson, and Bergen counties. There are special programs for the homeless, immigrants, women and children at risk, and handicapped individuals. There are 3 Seminaries within the diocese that educate priests to serve our parishes. There are agencies such as CYO Youth & Young Adult Ministry, The Archdiocesan Schools Office, Parish Plant Services, and the Legal Department (to mention just a few) which serve the needs of the 226 parishes in our Archdiocese. All these ministries and more, need to be financially supported. This weekend you have received in the bulletin a copy of this year s Archbishop s Annual Appeal brochure. Next weekend you will be given an opportunity to make a pledge to the Archbishop s Annual Appeal during the Second collection. Not every Catholic can give a lot. But every Catholic can give something to support the greater ministry of our Church. Please be as generous as possible. Thank You and God Bless You!! Msgr. Ron (A special Thank You to those who have already responded through the mail!)

Są również biura takie jak: CYO Youth & Young Adult Ministry, Archidiecezjalne Biuro, Parish Plant Services i Departament Prawny. Te wszystkie organizacje służą 226 parafiom naszej Archidiecezji. Organizacje, aby mogły prowadzić swoją działalność potrzebują naszego finansowego wsparcia. W ten weekend w biuletynie będzie kopia Rocznego Apelu Arcybiskupa, proszę o wzięcie go do domu i zapoznanie się z nim.w następny weekend nasze zobowiązania będziemy mogli złożyć podczas drugiej kolekty. Nie musisz dać dużo, ale każdy katolik powinien wspomóc i odpowiedzieć na apel Arcybiskupa. W miarę możliwości proszę o hojność. Dziękuję i niech Bóg Was błogosłwi.
