Forward In Faith
A Message from Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R. Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, My vision for the Archdiocese of Newark is the vision of a missionary disciple. I envision a future where lay people are fully engaged in the life of our Archdiocese at all levels and where parishioners of every age play direct and decisive roles in our worship, our faith formation, and our service to those in need. I also see priests united with one another and with the people they serve. I see deacons, consecrated men and women, and lay people who feel prepared and empowered, build up the Body of Christ that is the Church of Newark. My vision for our Archdiocese is one of genuine solidarity in Christ. Our diferences should enrich our Church, not divide it. The challenges we face should bring us closer together and allow the Holy Spirit to give us the wisdom, courage, hope, and generosity we need to be successful missionary disciples. I thank God for sending me to the four counties of Bergen, Essex, Hudson, and Union that make up the Archdiocese of Newark. My visits to parishes, schools, and other Catholic organizations throughout our Archdiocese, and my meetings with individuals, families, and groups, show me how blessed we are as a local church. These visits also reveal the deep wounds caused by the revelations. The revelations of abuse, as well as allegations of harassment of seminarians within this Archdiocese, have challenged us to fnd the light of Christ while looking to the future with hope. The hurt is real and the wounds are deep, but there is also a great resilience among the people of our Archdiocese. More than one victim of abuse has said to me, “I’m still a Catholic because my loyalty is to the Church and not to any individual.”

Welcome to the Parish Community of Our Lady of Sorrows. Guided by the conviction that church is the people of God, parishioners of Our Lady of Sorrows were asked what makes their parish special. The responses were woven into the following statement: Our Lady of Sorrows is not just a congregation. It is a family. It is real people who care for another beyond the time of Sunday Mass. The diversity of the congregation is special, comprising diverse colors, sizes, and shapes that fit together. All are welcome, all are part of the family. Our Lady of Sorrows is a very accepting and non-judgmental church where all contribute according to their gifts. All acco mplishmentsare recognized. All efforts are encouord loves his city, and so do we!" raged to serve the needs of the neediest. The parish mission statement is taken from Psalm 87: " The"The Loves His city...and so do we."

Prayer
Prayer for a Pandemic May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake. May we who have no risk factors remember those most vulnerable. May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent. May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close remember those who have no options. May we who have to cancel our trips remember those that have no safe place to go. May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market remember those who have no margin at all. May we who settle in for a quarantine at home remember those who have no home. As fear grips our country, let us choose love. During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, Let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors. Amen. by Cameron Bellm
