Flu Season is quickly approaching.
We ask that all parishioners that may be
sick with the flu to please stay home and
take care of your health.
In addition to this, it is ok for parishioners to wish their fellow church goers peace during the sign of peace at mass
without shaking of hands. One can even nod their heads to
one another.
Once the flu season is in high season, we will discontinue
the distribution of the precious blood at all Masses.
If the Northern Passaic County schools are
closed, along with Saint Catherine of Bologna
School, due to snow and or state of emergency,
all parish offices and parish/school/ secular
activities in the parish will also be canceled and buildings
will be closed for the night.
Because of safety reasons, the daily Mass will be canceled
for the public and will continue to be celebrated by the priest
in private in the rectory for the Mass intention(s).
So please, be wise, and stay off the roads during State of
emergencies and or inclement weather. If the weather is
bad on Sunday, we will continue with the liturgies as
planned.
Thank you for understanding and let’s pray for a nice and
quiet winter season.

A Positive Response to a Serious Prenatal Diagnosis
More than 100,000 expectant couples each year receive
the devastating news of a so-called poor prenatal diagnosis. It may be the detection of a heart defect, spina bifida,
or genetic syndrome, but whatever the diagnosis, the parents are shocked and bereaved. With little or no information or resources available that support the option of
carrying to term, 80% of these pregnancies end in abortion. When offered a service of comprehensive support,
however, 80% of parents chose to carry to term.
A ministry which will offer this comprehensive support to
couples experiencing a serious prenatal diagnosis and
carrying to term is being developed for North Jersey.
Peer ministers and volunteers are invited to be part of
this important ministry. If you have carried to term following a prenatal diagnosis consider becoming a peer minister. Interested persons who may not have experienced a
serious prenatal diagnosis can volunteer to support parents in other ways such as sewing, knitting, photography
An information presentation will be given at St. Catherine
of Bologna Parish Center, Ringwood on Monday November 17th at 7:30pm. For more information on this ministry
see isaiahspromise.net and benotafraid.net. Questions
call Kathy Ranft 973-962-9152.

A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON
THE SUNDAY READINGS
HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly
Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
November 16, 2014
“When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond pearls. Her husband, entrusting his heart to her,
has an unfailing prize. She brings him good, and not
evil, all the days of her life…the woman who fears the
Lord is to be praised.”
The Proverbs of Solomon extol the virtues of a wise
and prudent woman. Perhaps today we are reminded, never to take a woman for granted. The sacrament of marriage calls us to recognize the giftedness
of women. Think for a moment of the roles they play.
God chose Mary to be the Mother of our Savior.
Women ministered to Jesus throughout His ministry.
It was they who were steadfast at Calvary when others abandoned Him. The first accounts of the resurrection found Jesus present to Mary and other women. The first disciples to announce the Resurrection
were women.
In the history of the church, we find heroic women,
doctors of the church. Founders of religious communities and missionaries, mothers and spouses. We
are able to include the names and faces of so many
models of Christian behavior.
As I read the words of proverbs, may I express gratitude for the outstanding persons raised by the Lord in
the life of the church. May I express my respect and
regard for the women in our community who reflect
the virtues extolled by Solomon.
May I include my spouse, or my
daughters in my life on the list of
the pearl of great price.
THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31
An encomium for a good and worthy wife, this passage
from Proverbs extols all the virtues which a worthy wife
possesses – fidelity, industriousness, skill, charity to
the poor, and fear of the Lord.
Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
Once again, Paul reassures the Thessalonians, who
are anxious about the coming of Christ, that they need
not fear being unprepared because they are “children
of light.”
Gospel: Matthew 25:14-30
Jesus narrates the parable of the talents – in the story,
the silver pieces given to the three men. Two of the
men invest their coins and double their worth, but the
third buries his coins in the ground and earns no return. The message of Jesus is that we must use to the
fullest the talents we have received.

Would you Give 20 Minutes Once a
Month to Save Lives?
The Respect life committee of St. Catherine of
Bologna Church sells bagels on the third Sunday of
each month. It is our only fundraiser and is used to
enable those who are active in working to Save Lives.
In 2014, we have sent checks to the following
organizations: Thomas Moore Society, American Life
League, Priests for Life, Several Sources and Good
Counsel. These organizations support Life in various
ways such as housing and caring for mothers and
babies, educating the public, and supporting those
Pro-life Lawyers who work on Pro-life issues.
Our basic committee has dwindled to 3 people due to
death, aging and relocation. Once each month we
need 3 people after each Sunday Mass for
approximately 20 minutes to assist in selling our
bagels. We have been blessed to have a loyal crew of
people who have assisted us at our bagel sales in the
past, however, we have recently lost the help of
several of those good people.
We ARE DESPERATE FOR HELP
Won’t you step up to the plate?
Please look into your heart and call one of the following
to offer your help:
Nadine Shaw: 973-962-6481
Helen Wilhelm: 973-962-7861
Charlotte Anderson: 973-903-0356
If necessary, please leave a message and we will
happily return your call. Thank You

Spiritual Adoption Program
Many years ago Archbishop Fulton J.
Sheen made a suggestion that has
endured and been promoted to this day.
He proposed that those who cared for the
unborn promise to pray, each day for the
nine months of normal gestation, for one
newly conceived baby who is in danger of abortion. The
prayer can be brief, but persistent in entreating God's mercy. There is no way to estimate how many thousands of
lives have been saved with this simple effort.
If you or your family would like to be a life saver, look for a
Spiritual Adoption prayer card in one of the baskets at the
exits of the church beginning on November 1. You need
not know of a specific case to participate. Put a baby's
name of your choice on the card in recognition of the humanity of this individual, unborn child. Sign the commitment and return that half to the basket on your next visit to
church. Pray for that baby by name as faithfully as you
can in daily prayer, and pray for his or her parents too.
Who knows, but in the next life God may bless you with
the happiness of meeting the person whose life you saved
with so little effort and such great compassion!
Christmas Mitten & Angel Trees
On Christmas Eve, the children
at St. Joseph’s Hospital and NYU
Langone Medical Center will be nestled and all snug
in their hospital beds. Your gifts will certainly raise
their spirits on Christmas morning.
Please choose a mitten, buy and wrap a gift, attach
your mitten to the gift, and indicate what the gift is
on the mitten.
Every season Straight & Narrow embarks on our
annual Angel Tree Campaign providing support to
clients in need during the holidays.
The Angel & Mitten Trees will be up from Friday,
November 28th until Sunday December 14th.
Thank you for generously supporting the Mitten &
Angel Trees!
