“If it does not please you to serve the Lord, decide today
whom you will serve…As for me and my household, we will
serve the Lord.” (JOSHUA 24:15)
When we commit to serve the Lord, we must be willing to become a
partner in the work of the Lord. A partner is a person who invests their
time, talent and treasure. If we say we serve God, we must actually do
something and not merely talk about it!

Immaculate Conception Church
Children’s Faith Formation
CHILDREN’S FAITH FORMATION REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Pro-Life Corner
The Center for Medical Progress with its investigative videos continues to open our eyes and convict our souls by
detailing the inhumanity of Planned Parenthood. Planned
Parenthood is the nation's No.1 killer of pre-born children
and profits greatly from this gruesome practice, and the
selling of aborted babies' organs and entire intact bodies.
Planned Parenthood represents what happens when we, the
American people, do nothing to confront and stop evil.
Not even the slave traders, the Hitlers, the Stalins, the Pol
Pots of world history can match the number of innocent
lives taken by abortion. The abortion culture that we are
living in has produced a massive level of corruption and
inhuman injustice. In his August 10 column, Archbishop
Chaput wrote: "The deliberate killing of innocent life is a
uniquely wicked act. No amount of contextualizing or deflecting our attention to other issues can obscure that.
...Humanity’s priority right — the one that undergirds all
other rights — is the right to life. ...no Christian can avoid
the duty to work for more justice and charity in our life as
a nation, a task that inescapably involves politics. Thus the
recent Senate vote to defund Planned Parenthood was not
only right and timely, but necessary. And the failure of that
measure involves a public failure of character by every
Catholic senator who voted against it. ...Those videos show
a face of Planned Parenthood — senior staffers chatting
blithely about the dismemberment and sale of fetal body
parts — that can only be called repugnant. But it’s not surprising: If aborted children are simply lumps of potentially
useful (and profitable) tissue, what’s the problem?" The
Archbishop concludes with the words of a pro-life wife to
her conflicted pro-choice husband – “You can’t stand on
the sidelines, especially now that you’ve seen these videos.
…These are babies that are being killed. Millions of them.
And you need to use your voice to protect them. That’s
what a man does. He protects children – his own children
and other children. That’s what it means to be a man.”

Boys and girls entering the first grade in public school
this coming September should enroll in the first level
of Children’s Faith Formation classes. The Diocese of
Metuchen requires that children wishing to receive
First Holy Communion must prepare for a period of 2
years. New students are asked to provide a Baptismal certificate at the time of registration. Please
note that we offer a Kindergarten class on Monday
afternoon from 4:00-5:15. In this class children get
a head start on deepening their faith through stories,
activities, prayers and celebrations. Space is limited
but we currently have a few spots available. If interested register this week. Families who have already
been part of the Children’s Faith Formation program
must re-register. Classes have been set. Families
who have not yet re-registered should submit
their paperwork immediately. Registration forms
and schedules are available in the parish Center and
on our website (www.immaculateconception.org).
Please do not delay! Send in the registration
forms as soon as possible, specifying a second
choice for day and time, since many classes are
already filled. Registration will close on October
1, 2015.
URGENT!! CATECHISTS
NEEDED
Please prayerfully consider serving as a catechist in our parish. Our
Children’s Faith Formation program is growing by leaps and bounds.
While we currently have many wonderful individuals teaching and
assisting, many more are needed. No previous experience is required ~ you need only a love and knowledge of your faith and a desire to serve! This is an ideal opportunity for a parent, grandparent,
young adult and/or teen to serve the youth of our parish. You can
work together or separately. Teach while your child is in his/her class.
Share your faith with the over 600 children in grades K through Eight
who are eagerly learning about their faith and preparing to receive the
sacraments of Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation.
Classes are held on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and evenings.
Monday Afternoon: 4:00 PM- 5:15 PM, Grade 2 & 4
Wednesday Evening: 6:15PM –7:30 PM, Grade 2 (2 needed)
We are also looking for Hall Monitors, Office Aides and Classroom
Aides for grades 1 & 2 at these times. If you are a 7th or 8th grader
looking for service hours, please volunteer to help! We need you!
Please answer the call this week! 908-725-1112, Ext 1119,

Social Ministry
Interfaith Hospitality Network
Fall Fundraiser!
On October 8th at the USGA Golf Museum in Far Hills, the Interfaith Hospitality
Network will be hosting a cocktail party in
order to raise awareness and financial
support for the homeless of Somerset County. We are so
grateful for the support that your congregation has given
our organization. IHN is the only organization that serves
the homeless of Somerset County through a program of
continuum of care. From emergency shelter to independent living, this organization empowers these families and
gives them the opportunity to create their own successes.
94% of IHN's families are maintaining their independence
tracked over a period of eight years. This is amazing considering up to 92% of families discharged from emergency shelters are relapsing into homelessness within one
year.
The funds raised at this event will be directed toward several areas of need for IHN. Some of those are:
-Transportation costs for their clients to and from work,
school and shelters
-Day Care Plus Program for preschoolers
-Mental health services
-GED and certification programs
In order to make this event a success and raise
awareness of IHN, we need your help.
·
Please plan to attend our event on Oct. 8th. We
will inform you when tickets are available.
·
We are actively looking for businesses or individuals to sponsor the event.
If you or your company is willing to match
funds raised at the event...We would love to hear
from you!!
·
If you can't make the event and would like to
make a donation please refer to the sponsorship
package and contact me at: [email protected]
We can't thank you enough for your time and consideration. We look forward to seeing you on the 8th!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Sincerely, Sharon Howard, IHN Board of Directors:[email protected]

Back to School
Collection: It’s that
time of the year again when we
start getting ready for the first
day of school. Please notice at
each entrance you will see
there are white baskets for your
donations located at the church
entrances. New children’s underwear (all sizes) and school stationery supplies, back to
school items for area children in need will be collected from
now through September 6th. The donated items will be distributed to local agencies that serve children and families who
are experiencing financial hardship. Such agencies include
FISH Emergency Food and Clothing Pantry, Somerset County
Food Bank Network, Interfaith Hospitality Network and the
Samaritan Homeless Interim Program. White baskets will be
located at the entrances of the Church for your donations, from
now through Labor Day. Again, items needed include new
children’s underwear (all sizes), children’s socks, backpacks,
lunch boxes, and school stationery supplies. Thank you for your
generous support of this annual collection. The joy you will
bring to a child who is without even basic supplies simply cannot be measured. Thank you.
SHIP's Galley is a service provided
by the Samaritan Homeless Interim Program as a response to the need for an onsite meal program to feed the hungry in
our region. It is run through the eﬀorts of
Faith Communi es and other volunteers whose purpose is to
provide a nutri ous meal to those in need. Our parish provides two teams of volunteers for SHIP on the first Wednesday
of each month. One team prepares food and the other serves
the food at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Somerville. We are
most in need of volunteers to prepare food for this endeavor.
Would you please consider taking a small amount of your me
to prepare a casserole, side dish, salad, sandwiches or to shop
to purchase bread, milk, or fruit for this meal program? The
food should be prepared or purchased in order to be dropped
oﬀ at the Parish Center on the first Tuesday of the month. The
food is then delivered to the Galley on the following day to be
heated and served. If you would be so generous to assist with
this tremendous need, you will be contacted by phone regarding your assigned food. You do not need to commit to every
month in order to assist. You may assist according to your
availability. This is a wonderful opportunity to get your family
involved with an eﬀort to serve those who go without one
of the basic needs to survive - food. In addi on to nourishing
the body, you also nourish the soul. If you would like more
informaƟon or to schedule yourself for future SHIP Galley
dates, please contact Jeanine Cavanagh, at 725-1112 x1126 or
contact Janet Pernini, at 908-725-9294 or

Women- Single or married or
m o t h e r s Y O U A R E N E E D E D ! Calling all women leaders CANA VOXWomen’s Reading Groups!
CanaVox (means voice for marriage) began in the fall of 2013
as a group of eight concerned mothers and one marriage activist who set out to create a network of people around the world
who would host reading groups among their friends on the urgent topic of marriage. The marriage activist was Doug Mainwaring and one of the mothers was Dr. Ana Samuel, Research
Scholar at the Witherspoon Institute. The Witherspoon Institute
liked what we were up to and agreed to grant us funding and
logistical support. Our reading group model creates a safe haven of free speech for people who want to engage in open and
frequent conversations with friends on the natural law philosophy, social science and practical wisdom of marriage. We carefully select quality readings from around the web so as to encourage high-level discussions where participants can learn and
talk about the latest academic research and read inspiring stories about the masterpiece that is man and woman marriage. Anyone interested in starting and/or leading a group in
the parish please e-mail [email protected] or call 908725-1112 ext. 1125. The parish will help you promote and establish a group! Visit their website www.canavox.com

Jesús dice que sus palabras son espíritu y son vida.
¿Por que produjeron una reacción tan contraria entre sus
oyentes, que llegan a exclamar que su modo de hablar es
inaceptable? Quizás porque no tenían buena disposición
para acoger lo que Cristo esta planteando. Cuando hacemos
oración o participamos de la liturgia, ante todo debemos
pedir al Señor que abra nuestros oídos para comprender lo
que El nos quiere decir. Corremos el peligro de acudir al
Señor para escuchar solo lo que nosotros queremos
escuchar.
Quizás aquella gente había acudido para que Jesús les
diera mas comida o para que estableciera un nuevo reinado
en el que su justicia quedaría satisfecha porque mejorarían
las condiciones de vida. El Señor les muestra otro horizonte
que se vislumbra desde la fe y que conlleva la plena
comunión con El. Jesús les dice: "No quiero solo daros
bienes, sino que quiero que estéis conmigo, que participéis
de mi misma vida”.
No entendieron nada, al igual que nosotros; al dialogar con
Cristo o escuchar las Escrituras, podemos quedarnos
vacíos. ¿Cuando sucede esto? Cuando nuestra perspectiva
es demasiado material y solo acudimos al Señor con el
deseo de obtener algo a cambio.
De alguna manera, quienes oyeron a Cristo y se
fueron intuyeron que se les pedía reorientar toda su vida,
que ser alimentados por Cristo conlleva un cambio en su
existencia. La Eucaristía también nos abre a esa
transformación interior. Y este sacramento va acompañado
con escuchar la Palabra de Dios. Su palabra tiene el poder
de ir cambiando nuestra manera de pensar, de irnos
enseñando a amar según su medida.
También hoy el Señor nos pregunta a nosotros si
queremos irnos. Unidos a Pedro, confesamos que solo El
tiene palabras de la vida eterna y contemplamos ya los
frutos del alimento eucarístico en la realidad de la Iglesia. La
Iglesia existe porque Cristo da la vida por ella. Es en ella
donde nosotros recibimos también a Cristo y con ella
profesamos nuestra fe en el Señor. En ella escuchamos su
palabra y reconocemos que solo en ella se responde al
anhelo de eternidad que hay en nosotros.
Después de escuchar la Palabra de Dios, medítala
atentamente, examina los diversos elementos que contiene,
busca su significado profundo. Entonces la Palabra se te
hará clara y luminosa y tu corazón estará cada vez mas
estrechamente unido al corazón de Cristo.

ELEGIR LA VIDA
Dios nos hizo por una razón. Su amor es
nuestra misión en la vida. Esta misión nos permite
encontrar nuestra verdadera identidad. Si decidimos
abrazar esta misión, tendremos una perspectiva nueva
sobre muchas cuestiones, no solo la familia. Vivir la
misión de la Iglesia domestica significa que las familias
católicas vivirán, a veces, como minorías, con valores
diferentes de los que tiene la cultura que los rodea.
Nuestra misión de amor exigirá Valentía y
Fortaleza. Jesús esta llamando y nosotros podemos
responder, eligiendo una vida de fe, esperanza, caridad,
gozo, servicio y misión.

Padrinos para el Bautizo
Requisitos:
Los Estados de derecho canónico (Iglesia) de un Padrino
deben ser:
• Ser un Católico Bautizado y Confirmado que asiste a la
Misa semanal y recibe la Eucaristía.
• Al menos 14 años de edad (siempre que el Padrino o la
Madrina hayan recibido la Confirmación)
• No ser uno de los padres
• Llevar una vida moral según la doctrina de la Iglesia, y
ser un buen modelo Católico.
• Si es casado, estar casado según la ley de la Iglesia
• Ser un usuario registrado de su parroquia actual y obtener un certificado de elegibilidad

Ya que se requiere solamente un padrino Católico, un miembro Bautizado de otra iglesia cristiana (pero no católico) puede servir como un testigo Cristiano. Puesto que los Padrinos

bautismo; una persona no bautizada no puede servir en este
importante papel.
