PARISH EVENTS 2
 January 9, 2011
Dear Parish Family,
Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the
Baptism of the Lord and the official close of the Christmas
season. The rest of the world has stopped singing carols
and has long since wound down after the shoppers
frantically shopped for the end of the year bargains. It is
nice to know that we as Church still celebrate this
wonderful Birth of Jesus Christ.
As the Christmas season draws to a close today, our
eyes are once again focused on the One sent to redeem
us, Jesus, the Beloved Son of God. In Him is all our
hope.
Our faith journey begins with Baptism and its life-
giving waters. It is at the font that we truly become
children of God. Each of us has a surname that shows
we belong to a particular family. At the font we become
Christians and become part of the Christian family. Being
part of the Christian family, we are invited and challenged
to share our gifts with the Church and the larger
community, thus becoming part of His ministry
Baptism is the first of the three Sacraments of
Initiation; the others being Eucharist and Confirmation.
Let us keep in our prayers our young people and their
families who are preparing to celebrate Baptism, First
Eucharist, and Confirmation this year.
Keep in mind the following Proclamation made on the
Feast of the Epiphany:
“Dear Brothers and Sisters, the glory of the Lord has
shone upon us and shall ever be manifest among us, until
the day of His return. Through the rhythm of time and
seasons, let us celebrate the mysteries of salvation. Let
us recall the year’s culmination, the Easter Triduum of the
Lord: His Last Supper, His Crucifixion, His burial, and His
Rising, celebrated between the evening of the 21st of
April and the 24th of April. Each Easter, as on each
Sunday, the Holy Church makes present the great and
saving deed by which Christ has forever conquered sin
and death. From Easter are reckoned all the days we
keep holy. Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, will
occur on the ninth of March. The Ascension of the Lord
will commence on the second of June. Pentecost, the
joyful conclusion of the season of Easter, will be
celebrated on the 12th of June, and this year the First
Sunday of Advent will be on the 27th of November.
Likewise, the Pilgrim Church proclaims the Passover of
Christ in the feasts of the Holy Mother of God, in the
feasts of the apostles and Saints, and the
commemoration of the faithful departed. To Jesus Christ,
Who was, Who is, and Who is to come, Lord of time and
history, be endless praises, forever and ever. Amen”.
Thank you for your Stewardship of Time, Talent, and
Treasure, and for all that you do for our parish.
Love,
Fr. Larry

Dear Father and Parishioners of Our Lady Queen of
Peace,
We would like to thank each and everyone for your gift of
love to Jesus in the distressing disguise of the poorest of
the poor, particularly for the gift of : Toys and Candy
We realize that many were involved in organizing,
preparing, and transporting your gift to us here. To all the
hidden angels, we send our thanks. We thank also all
who contributed to make this gift possible. In these times
of greater economic difficulties, it is inspiring to see that
there are many still ready to turn to lend a helping hand
to those in need. Your gift has therefore double worth as
it gives the gift of encouragement to those who feel they
are carrying a burden alone.
Our gratitude is our sincere prayer for you, for your loved
ones, your needs, and intentions. We are praying very
especially during this Christmas Novena. May you
experience God’s tender love for you and His constant
presence through the gift of the Infant Jesus this
Christmas.
God bless you
Sincerely in Christ Jesus

Make a Gift through an IRA Charitable Rollover
Normally, a distribution from your IRA is taxed as ordinary
income. However, tax legislation just enacted extends the
opportunity for the remainder of 2010 and throughout
2011 for individuals 70½ or older to make a direct
distribution from your IRA to a qualified charity, such as
(PARISH NAME), the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, the
Archdiocese of Newark, or another archdiocesan
institution. Such qualified direct distributions to charity
from your IRA are not subject to income tax. The new law
also provides that you may consider such distributions
made in January 2011 as made in 2010.
For more information about how you and the Church can
benefit from an IRA charitable rollover, contact the parish
office or the Archdiocese of Newark’s Planned Giving
Office at (973) 497-4048 by e-mail at PGINFO@rcan.org.
