Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 22, 2017
This is our big car raffle weekend. At 1:15pm I will be calling the lucky
winner of the car. A big thank you to everyone who has worked so hard on this
major fundraiser. To the many people who sold tickets in the car booth and to the
many parishioners who sold extra tickets to friends, family and work colleagues
thank you. I’m looking forward to announcing the winner and to affirming the many hands that
worked together to make this fundraiser a success.
As you are aware, St. Rose has joined our diocese for the pilgrimage to DC on this
Saturday, October 21st. We have a full bus of pilgrims. I look forward to writing about this in
next week’s bulletin.
I’m excited to begin the Rite of Catholic Initiation of Adults (RCIA) sessions Sunday,
November 5th
at 3:00pm in the parish offices. During that session the candidates and I will
together look at a schedule that suits the group so that people who have busy lives will be able to
participate and grow in our faith. I look forward to giving instruction to adults who seek
Baptism, Holy Communion, and/or Confirmation. If you know anyone who is not Baptized, a
Protestant who would like to become Catholic, a Catholic who has never made Holy Communion,
or a Catholic who has never made Confirmation, please have them contact me directly and I will
be glad to have them join our group.
We began our Bereavement Ministry on October 2nd
. We have the largest group ever - 26.
This is a very sacred time where we, under the guidance of God, process feelings of loss, sadness,
anger and sometimes the inability to move forward. Death is the most normal part of our lives
but for those of us left behind, the most painful. Our group, under the direction of Stephanie,
Debbie, Anabela and me, help to bring to those who are bereaved, the sense of hope, purpose and
joy that we as Catholics receive from Jesus who reminds us of the Lord’s plan for humankind.
We certainly understand that we are not born to live eternally on earth but while living here we
use our gifts with generosity, celebrate our love for God and hope to attain the Kingdom of
Heaven for all eternity upon death. Please keep our Bereavement Group in prayer during these
days.
On Tuesday, October 10th
I celebrated the Funeral Mass for our beloved parishioner,
Andy Blue. Andy was a strong Catholic man of faith, an usher and a Knight of Columbus.
These past many years have been difficult as his health and memory faded. Our prayers
surround his wonderful wife Winnie who with great devotion assisted him throughout their
wonderful marriage and particularly during his time of failing health. Winnie is a devoted
Rosarian and I know that the Blessed Mother, to whom she has great devotion, will walk with her
during these early difficult days.

2017 Bishop’s Annual Appeal
In Giving, We Receive
Did you know that this year our Diocese had the largest number of
men ordained to the priesthood in the country? There are currently
over 50 men now enrolled in seminaries to prepare for priestly life in
the Paterson Diocese. That is a tremendous blessing, but one that
comes with a significant cost for room, board, tuition and other related
expenses. Your support of the Bishop’s Annual Appeal helps meet
the annual expenses for seminarian education. It is a gift that will
enhance the faith life of our Diocese for years to come. Please make a
pledge today! For your convenience, you can make an online gift or
pledge at www.2017appeal.
Thank you!

of the Parish (1957-1969). Please send pictures, short stories and your memories to the
Parish Council at [email protected] or drop them off at the church
office. Make sure to provide your contact information so we can discuss your memories
with you and prepare to share them with the Parish. All photos will be scanned and
returned. We will continue to update the Parish as we plan for the celebration. Please
submit before the deadline of November 3. Thanks!

MY PILGRIMAGE TO FATIMA
By Anabela Rossi
I had the privilege of joining the pilgrims of St. Rose in Fatima, Portugal, which was my first pilgrimage with Fr. Owen. I am Portuguese and had been
to Fatima many times as a child when I would visit my grandmother in the
summers, but I knew this time would be different. I still remember the same images as my childhood visits there, the people walking on their knees in
sacrifice, the magnificent Sanctuary of the basilica and the “capelinha” where
Our Lady appeared to the three shepherd children. There the rosary is prayed in five different languages every night followed by a beautiful candlelight
procession. What was different, however, was experiencing all of these things
with Fr. Owen, Seminarian Alex and the people of my community.
From the moment the bus pulled up to the hotel, I was greeted so warmly by
one and all. There was an immediate spirit of love and connection between all of the pilgrims, despite our age differences and in my case not knowing most
of them. This should not have come as a surprise as we were all there to learn
about and experience the message of Fatima, but to witness it, was extraordinary. The days were balanced with time for prayer, time for
sightseeing and time for the sharing of faith and fellowship which usually
included a lot of laughter!
One of the things that stood out most for me was Fr. Owen celebrating Mass
daily in the different churches on our itinerary. There was truly something special to be in these historical churches celebrating the gift of the Mass
together. Another highlight was when Alex led us in the Stations of the Cross
in front of the sanctuary. It was so moving and emotional because he made it so relatable to our own daily lives. Alex truly has a gift and I iknow he will
make an amazing priest.
This pilgrimage was unforgettable and I feel like I gained not only spiritual
graces, but also a new group of friends. Thank you to Fr. Owen and Alex for
the blessing of their spiritual leadership. Thank you also to Stephanie for her time and dedication in planning and executing these spiritual journeys, which
are amazing opportunities to share ou Catholic faith.

EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER
Miss Lorie’s Class began their unit on the pumpkin life
cycle. We discussed the similarities and differences between how
apples grow and how a pumpkin grows. We carved our pumpkin and
pulled out the insides. We easel painted our own pumpkin for our
pumpkin patch! Although our trip was postponed, we were busy
investigating our pumpkins and in our STEM Journals, we estimated
the number of seeds in our pumpkin and created a graph for our math
lesson. We also did an experiment to see if our mini pumpkin would
sink or float. In the next few weeks, we will be learning about bats
and spiders! What a fun month to be in school!
This week in Miss Evelyn’s Pre-K class, we finished up our
unit on fire safety. We reviewed all of the safety rules we learned last
week and we made fire helmets and donned them while we sang "I'm
A Little Fire Fighter". Although we were disappointed that the fire
chief could not visit us, we said a prayer for him and we look forward
to seeing him another time. We had our first music class with Mr.
Dave this week! We sang lots of songs about fall and Halloween and
danced with autumn leaves! In religion, we read The Rainbow
Fish which taught us about kindness. We created rainbow fish for our
religion bulletin board, each with it's own shiny scale, to remind us of
the value of friendship and sharing. We began a new unit on
pumpkins this week. Because our visit to the farm was postponed
until (10/20), we created our own patch of pumpkins using different
shades of orange paint that we each mixed for ourselves! Next week
we will continue learning about pumpkins and the pumpkin life cycle!
Miss Casey's class finished learning about pumpkins this
week. They practiced identifying all of the parts of a pumpkin and
talked about how they grow. Next week, we will carve a pumpkin to
see what is inside; we will even get to touch it. Keeping with the fall
theme, students decorated trees with fall leaves that spelled out their
names. We are practicing recognizing the letters in our names.
We also celebrated Fire Safety Week. We learned about how to stay
safe when there is a fire and what number to call if we need help.
Students learned about what firefighters do and what they use to stay
safe. We even got to pretend to be firefighters!
In Miss Donna’s Pre School class, we created colorful
crosses this week. We are learning to pray before we eat our snack
each day. Our music teacher Mr. Dave sang with us and played the
guitar. He taught us a beautiful song about the falling leaves. We all
love pretend play in our learning centers!
We are now accepting applications for our 2017/2018 school year. If
you are interested in applying, or for a tour of our facility, please call
973-887-1801. You can also email [email protected].
