RESPECT LIFE COMMITTEE
Abortion is not healthcare because killing is not healing.
A Parental Notification Amendment is being talked about in the
NJ legislature. It is ACR71 and would require parental
notification before a minor young woman could have an abortion.
Please call or write Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver
(AswOliver@njleg.org/973-395-1166) and Senate President
Stephen Sweeney (SenSweeney@njleg.org/856-251-9801).
Urge both of them to support this amendment.
RESPECT LIFE UPDATES
The Respect Life Committee would like to thank all of the
parishioners who are participating in our Spiritual Adopt a Baby
program. It is an on-going 9 month program. Please feel free to
pick up an extra prayer card in the church and join your prayers
to ours. We will update you each month as to the development of
your baby.
There are prayer cards for our Spiritual Adoption Program in
the basket in the back of the church. Please feel free to take one
and pray for a baby to be spared from abortion. In October 2010,
we will have a baby shower to celebrate the births of our
adopted babies. We look forward to another successful program
this year as we strive to end abortions and return our country to
a culture of life.
“Life is the first good received from God
and is fundamental to all others; to guarantee the right to life for all
and in an equal manner for all is the duty upon which the future of
humanity depends.” – Pope Benedict XVI in address to Pontifical
Academy for Life, February 24, 2007.
Any woman who is pregnant and in need can get help. She never has to
feel that abortion is the only option and can find assistance at the
following numbers:
New Jersey law allows a mother who cannot keep a recently born baby
to leave the baby at a hospital or a police station, no questions asked.

YEAR FOR PRIESTS
In observance of the 150th anniversary of the death of Saint
John Vianney, the Curé of Ars (August 4, 1859), Pope
Benedict XVI has proclaimed a ‘Year for Priests’ beginning
June 19, 2009 and ending June 11, 2010. The dates coincide
with the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus which,
since the pontificate of Pope John Paul II, has been observed
as a world day for the sanctification of priests. During the
course of the year, the Holy Father intends to proclaim the
Curé of Ars, until now patron of diocesan priests, patron of all
the priests of the world. Please keep your parish priest and all
priests of the world in your prayers during this special year.
Saint John Vianney, Curé of Ars, pray for our priests.
How You Can Help Increase Priestly Vocations
 Pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood.
 Offer your time and financial support to strengthen youth
ministries in your parish.
 Teach your children and grandchildren how to listen to the
promptings of the Holy Spirit.

OTHER EVENTS
A Parish Discussion: Welcoming Persons and Families
Living with Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities
In the Gospel, Jesus reaches out to people minimized by
society, and he challenges us to do so as well. People and
families living with Autism and other Developmental
Disabilities can feel marginalized by society and the Church.
Come and learn how you and your parish can be more
welcoming and affirming, in whatever capacity you have:
greeter, usher, extraordinary Eucharistic minister, catechist,
deacon, priest, the person in the pew... Everyone is welcome
and encouraged to attend, including persons and families with
disabilities.
The event will be at: Church of the Presentation
