Welcome visitors and new parishioners to our community of faith
and prayer! We are always happy to have you join us in worship
and the many activities of our parish. If you are a new parishioner,
please call the parish office to register so that we can provide you
with information about all St. Gregory Barbarigo Parish has to
offer.
MISSION STATEMENT
We parishioners of St. Gregory Barbarigo Roman Catholic Church are called by Jesus to be a community of His disciples, united
in Eucharistic worship and growing in Faith, Hope and Love. Nourished through the sacraments and strengthened by God’s
transforming love, we are empowered to know the gospel message and to witness it to others. As Christian stewards, we are
thankful for God’s many gifts and we commit ourselves to share our time, talent and treasure in Christ-like service within our
parish community and beyond. We seek God’s blessing and guidance to be faithful to this mission.

ARCHDIOCESAN STEWARDSHIP APPEAL SHARING GOD’S GIFTS Thanks to all of you who have so generously responded to this year’s
charitable campaign. For this appeal to be truly successful, we must have the support of all of our families. The appeal is a vital source
of funding for the programs and ministries that sustain the parishes across our archdiocese. It is not too late to make your gift. Pledge
cards are in the narthex and may be returned to the parish office or placed in the offertory basket at Mass.. Not everyone can give
a lot, but we hope you will give what you can afford, especially spread across five months. Many people have found a gift of $100 ($20
a month) to be a sacrificial level they can give. All donors, of any amount, will be thanked by Archbishop Dolan. We look forward to
providing you an update on the appeal’s progress each week. Thank you for your generosity and good faith.
APPEAL UPDATE ($59,000 GOAL ~~ 500 GIFTS)
TOTAL PLEDGES:$58,330 (243 GIFTS)
NEEDED TO REACH GOAL: $670 (AND 57 MORE GIFTS)

OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
Iwant to thank you one more time for your tremendous
response to last month’s In Pew Solicitation. It takes a while
for the pledges to be recorded in the system, but at this
writing, we are well on our way to passing our goal for the
first time since 2004. Congratulations, one and all. I hope
everyone will participate. This way, the victory will belong to
all of us.
There is only one more week to go as our parish
prepares for the 2011 Women’s Cornerstone which begins on
Friday evening in the gym. You will read another testimonial
in this bulletin about how this spiritual weekend has touched
another life to become closer to God and to be more involved
in our parish community. I am looking forward to the graces
that will wash over those women who participate. If you are
still undecided, just turn in our application at the parish office
and we will reserve a place for you.
Plans are underway for a number of activities that are
coming up on our calendar. We have already begun
preparations for the Spring Golf Outing at the Rotella Course.
We have been meeting to discuss how we want to celebrate
the Golden Jubilee of our parish (1961) and its school (1963).
And, the alumni association will meet on Thursday to resume
its organization to help build a stronger St. Gregory. All of
these activities are signs that the community who prays and
worships together on Sunday also maintains a vibrant life
during the week. We know that the Eucharist is the source
and summit of our life. It gathers our week’s activities into a
hymn of praise and it sends us forth to proclaim the gospel to
all we meet. We hear many of those opportunities to
evangelize in the announcements at Mass and in the parish
bulletin. Those who leave Mass early miss this important
time. All who share communion are summoned into service.
The announcements extend an invitation to let our
communion take root in the community.
I hope you enjoyed the school production of
Schoolhouse Rock. Under the leadership of Mrs. Mello,
Broadway comes to Garnerville. There are still two
performances left: Saturday night at 7:30 and Sunday
afternoon at 3:00. Maybe I will see you there.
Have a wonderful week. Father LaMorte
A GOSPEL PRAYER Jesus asked, “Do you believe in the Son of
Man?” (John 9:34) Dear Jesus, help me express my belief in you
through my actions towards others. Help me be others-centered; not
self-centered. Help me love you through acts the acts of love called
forgiving others.

OFFERTORY COUNTERS’ REQUEST Envelope users, please take a moment to write the amount of your contribution on the outside
of your weekly envelope. This will ensure that our contribution records are accurate and it will really help our volunteer counters who
have been spending additional time “filling in the blanks.” Are you not currently an envelope using parishioner? Just call the parish
office (947-1873) and we will be happy to help you.
SCHOOL OF RELIGION It is not too early to begin thinking about fall religious education classes for your children.
Registration for the 2011-2012 school year has begun and materials have been sent last week. Weekly faith
formation for children in grades K through 8 takes place between September and May and includes preparation for
the sacraments of reconciliation, Eucharist and confirmation. New families should call the office at 429-2775 to be
put on our mailing list and receive a registration packet as soon as it becomes available. We especially encourage
families with older children, regardless of their previous religious education to call Mr. Donald Ruzzi to discuss
placement in our program.
ENJOY COMING TO DAILY MASS We have a good core of faithful people who pray for their families, themselves and others at our daily
Masses at 7:30 and 9:00 AM. Give this devotional practice a try if your schedule permits. Announced Masses for the new year 2011
are immediately available each weekday, beginning this week and through the remainder of the year. The practice of having a Mass
offered for the living or the dead, or a particular intention, is an ancient tradition within our church. These are printed in the bulletin
and the intention is ordinarily mentioned within the Prayer of the Faithful. Masses are reserved along with the donation of a $15
stipend. Memorial Leather Covers may be obtained for an additional $5 donation.
RECONCILIATION MONDAY APRIL 18, 2011 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM: CELEBRATE GOD’S MERCY. It’s a great thing to hear about
God’s merciful love. It’s even better to experience it personally. No matter how long it may have been since your
last confession, weeks, years or even decades, there is no time like the start of Holy Week to know the mercy of God
in the Sacrament of Penance. Seize this moment of grace at the start of Holy Week. Bring a friend.
SEVENTH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH CONGRESS: ROOTED IN CHRIST, FIRM IN FAITH Saturday, April 9 th from 9:00 AM to 4 PM at

seniors; $5 for adults; $20 for a Family Pack of Six and will be on sale at the school office.
DEBT REDUCTION COLLECTION NEXT WEEK ~~ NOT THIS WEEK! We are sorry for the error. This week’s second offering will be
collected for the CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES. This is the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United
States. They alleviate suffering and provide emergency assistance and peace building activities to people in need in more than 100
countries, also assisting the Japan Relief efforts through Caritas Japan. Provide hope by giving generously today. Next week’s second
offering will be the monthly DEBT REDUCTION APPEAL. It is our hope to begin paying the principal on the remainder of the outstanding
loan which we borrowed from the archdiocese in 2005 of almost $70,000 for the repair of the school roof. In the summer of 2007,
we paid $15,000 toward it. The rest was to have come from the capital campaign in connection with the desire to build a new church
at that time. Since then, we have been paying about $135 per month in interest, without touching the principal on that original
$85,000 loan.

EASTER DECORATING The flowers have been ordered. On Holy Saturday morning, we will need the help of some
willing hands to assist with the decorating of the Church for Easter Sunday. It shouldn’t take much more than an
hour. We will begin right after Tenebrae. Please call the parish office (947-1873) if you can volunteer.
ANOINTING OF THE SICK “If one member suffers in the Body of Christ, which is the Church, all members suffer with that member.” (1Cor12:26)
The sacrament of the anointing of the sick is the proper sacrament for those Catholics whose health is seriously impaired by sickness
or age. On Saturday, April30 th at 9:00 AM, we will celebrate this sacrament and we invite our parishioners to come and join in prayer
for those among us who experience the effects of illness or age. If you know someone, or if you yourself intend to participate, please
call Father at the parish office (947-1983).
WASHING OF THE FEET Each year, our parish needs twelve people, of both genders and different ages to have their
feet washed on Holy Thursday at the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper. Just as the priest is not Jesus, these twelve
are not the apostles. But the priest by his ordination has been ordered to be alter Christus, another Christ, and each
of us by our baptism have become members of the church founded on the apostles and aiming for salvation. If you
feel the call to be one of the twelve this year, please volunteer by calling Father at the office.
FORTY DAYS OF LENT, DAYS OF PRAYER, DAYS FOR LIFE Please join other pro-lifer supporters as we peacefully pray for life outside
the Planned Parenthood office, 17 Perlman Drive, Spring Valley from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 9 th and
running until Palm Sunday, April 17 th . We will be outside on public property. We will continue in the chapel of Perpetual Eucharistic
Adoration through 8:00 AM. We will be in solidarity with all those who cannot speak for themselves, in thanksgiving to God for the
gift of life, because the Blessed Mother is praying with us. Please commit to an hour or two by contacting rachelminister1@aol.com.
AUTOMOBILE PARKING AT ST. GREGORY This month, the town police began patrolling the church campus to issue
fines for all those who are illegally parked. We have done our best to alert all churchgoers, basketball spectators
and school families that the parking of cars in the striped areas around the church and the school, along the curbing
and by the dumpster is dangerous and imposes a safety problem. In compliance with fire regulations, we must keep
these zones accessible to emergency vehicles. Last Sunday, when the first aid responded during one of the playoff
games, it was difficult for them to get close to the entrance of the school. This has been a chronic problem for many
years, but it does affect the rest of us. We hope that you will not be angry with us if you get a ticket and have to
pay a summons. To keep the money in your own pocket, follow the parking regulations. Thank you.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS will be held on the Fridays of Lent at 7:00 PM. On April 15 th , our parish will present “LIVING STATIONS OF THE
CROSS” from 7:00 to 8:00 in our church. On Good Friday, April 22 nd , stations will be held at 12:00 noon.
HOLY THURSDAY PILGRIMAGE OF CHURCH VISITATION At the end of the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, we
carry the Blessed Sacrament in solemn procession around the church and “repose” the Sacrament in the repository
for solemn adoration until eleven o’clock. Following a moment of silent prayer, you are invited to take a trip to
three other churches within the neighborhood to pray before their altars of repose – to take a long walk (by car,
mostly) to adore the Lord as we begin the celebration of His passion, death and resurrection. This practice of visiting
churches on Holy Thursday night is an old and popular Catholic custom. After the Last Supper of Jesus, he journeyed
to the Garden of Gethsemane. There, he prayed until the time of his arrest, leading to his crucifixion commemorated on Good Friday.
It is that “night watch of the Lord” we remember when we visit a church on Holy Thursday evening. It is a time to watch and pray with
the Lord. It is a remarkably special and prayerful experience. Why not make this pilgrimage of faith, to watch with the Lord in prayer
on this holy night, and to adore Him, present in the Blessed Sacrament? Your sacrifice of time and effort, for love of Him, will not go
unnoticed by the Lord. Come and grow in your love and devotion for Jesus who gave his life that we might have life eternal.
FALSE ADVERTISEMENTS Sometimes, parishioners report receiving advertisements or brochures from individuals or groups that claim
to provide priests who will perform Masses, marriages, or other sacraments. Although these “priests” may use Catholic prayers and
rituals, Church law prohibits them from doing this because they have left or been removed from the priesthood. Despite their
attractive promises, please know that these individuals or groups do not offer authentic sacraments or services of the Catholic Church.
Your priests at St. Gregory Barbarigo are ready to serve you in any way that we can. If you have questions about any of these
individuals or groups, please speak with Father.

WOMEN’S CORNERSTONE RESCHEDULED
We are very happy to announce the rescheduled
dates for the Women’s
Cornerstone weekend. Our new dates will
be Friday, April 8 th and Saturday, April 9 th .
This very special weekend will take place during the holy
season of Lent. We would like to extend a heartfelt invitation
to all the women of our parish and our school community,
including the school of religion women. From our
experiences, we know that the weekend is like no other and
will be remembered forever as a gift of faith and community.
WOMEN’S CORNERSTONE TESTIMONIAL I was asked to
attend the Women's Cornerstone in 2006. Even though I heard
how wonderful it was, I made the decision not to go. I guess
I felt that I would be pressured to socialize with a bunch of
strangers. When the 2007 Cornerstone came around, I was
asked to go again. This time I felt the need to give it a try.
Even though I was hesitant, I didn't let that get in my way. I
knew I needed to restore my faith and try to connect with God.
During the weekend, I realized there was no pressure at all
from anyone, which is why I didn't want to do it originally. I
found out that it was a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. I will
always be grateful for the experiences that weekend and for
giving it a chance. Please consider attending the Women's
Cornerstone on Friday, April 8 th . It will be one of the most
rewarding experiences. You will not regret going; I know I
didn't. Elisa McGuire, Women's Cornerstone 2007
CONFESSIONS DURING LENT The
Sacrament of Reconciliation will be
celebrated on the Saturdays of Lent from

Catholic Schools?” A nationwide effort is
underway to help revitalize Catholic schools,
led by Notre Dame’s ACE programs. Catholic
schools are successful in many academic

and civic support. The challenges facing
Catholic education are many, but the plans for the next ten
years help address the pressing issues, with Notre Dame
leading the way. A lecture given by Father Ron Nuzzi, Director
of Catholic Leadership Programs in the Alliance for Catholic
Education (ACE) at The University of Notre Dame will take
place at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, April 5 th at the Nelly Goletti
Theater, 3 rd floor, Marist Student Center Marist College. The
lecture is free and open to the public. Refreshments will
follow. For information call Ed Stubbing at 942-2690.
