GOD’s PLAN FOR GIVING<br />

Tithing Income Last Week: $14,451.50<br />

Income Same Week Last Year: $14,259.75<br />

From Father Davis: “To be grateful is to recognize the love of<br />

God in everything that He has given us.”<br />

From the Pews: “I had always tithed on part of my income. As<br />

I was considering the large jump it would take to tithe from my<br />

total income, I had household appliances fail. However, [they]<br />

all could be fixed under the warranty. I took this as God’s way<br />

of telling me to trust in His care.”<br />

CAR NEEDED<br />

A single mother with two disabled children is in desperate need of a<br />

car. Her old one was totaled in an accident and she cannot afford<br />

another. If you can help, please call the rectory – 973-584-8271.<br />

Church. No RSVP is necessary, bring your neighbors and friends, these sessions are open to all Adults in the parish, we would especially<br />

welcome the newly CONFIRMED!!<br />

Monday, June 1 st - Deacon Tony will explore the basic tenets and history associated with the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed. We will<br />

examine both creedal statements from the perspective: (1) as declarations of Christian belief; (2) as symbols of our belief in the Trinity; (3) as a<br />

narrative of the history of salvation; (4) that our God transcends the world, and at the same time enters into history and lives amongst us a Jesus.<br />

Tuesday, June 23 rd - Fr. Davis will examine and explain the church’s teachings on Heaven, Hell and Purgatory.<br />

This is the third in a series of impressions by some of the participants who made the Journey through the first half of Book 1 (the second half of<br />

Book 1 will be continued in the Fall 2009).<br />

My Why Catholic? Experience by Greg Birrer<br />

Last fall I was asked to lead a Why Catholic? small community group. I was more than a little concerned as I am a product of the public<br />

school/CCD system and have forgotten more than I know about my faith. Nevertheless, I was assured that I didn’t have to be an expert and that I<br />

would just be a facilitator, so I said yes.<br />

Our group met on Sunday nights and was comprised of mostly post Vatican II, non-retired folks. I’m sure we were all nervous in the beginning,<br />

but I remember fretting all day on that first Sunday. Although I was extremely nervous, the first meeting went well with everyone participating to<br />

an extent that my wife and I had not expected. Our group seemed to click from the beginning. By the second meeting the group bonded further.<br />

When we began the faith-sharing segment of the program, it spread like fire until each member shared some aspect of their faith. At one point,<br />

we joked about how we were opening up to each other – something we had rarely experienced with other Catholics – and we liked it! It was sort<br />

of like un-corking a bottle. You could almost feel the relief and satisfaction as we in turn shared stories and faith experiences with each other.<br />

For example, one person would reveal a favorite method in which they pray while two others would interject how they thought they were the<br />

only ones who did that! In addition to faith sharing there were readings from the Bible and the catechism that helped us fill the gaps in our<br />

religious knowledge. By the third meeting we had learned to support and pray for each other.<br />

Then there was the “Living the Good News” activity near the end of each session. This was where we decided on an outward activity to do<br />

during the coming week to help us begin to live the faith in a more active way. At first, I was skeptical of this aspect of the program as I thought<br />

no one would do it or like doing it, but the group embraced this practice as well. The group members were doing things during the week and<br />

then sharing their experiences at the next meeting. These activities ranged from taking a prayerful nature walk to reaching out to troubled coworkers.<br />

We had many great discussions on the results of these living-the-faith activities.<br />

I can honestly say that this was the most prayerful and Blessed Lenten season that I have ever experienced. What was also wonderful was the<br />

way my wife and I continued to have discussions long after everyone had left the meetings. We plan on continuing in the Why Catholic?<br />

program, and I will continue as SCL in the fall as most of the members have already asked if we can keep the group together. I found this<br />

program very worthy of my time and I hope you will consider participating this fall.<br />

graduating high school seniors in the township.<br />

This year’s service will be held here at <strong>St</strong>.<br />

service allows graduates a time and place to<br />

thank God publicly and together as a class for all<br />

the gifts He’s given them through their grammar<br />

guidance as they enter into college and the next stage in their life. The<br />

Roxbury High School Choir and Brass Ensemble will add to this very<br />

beautiful and special evening. Several high school students from the many<br />

houses of worship in town will be offering readings and short witness talks<br />

on their faith in God. All graduating high school seniors and their families<br />

are invited to join us. Refreshments will be served afterward. We hope to<br />

see you there!
