begin Monday, October 4th, 7:30—9:00 PM in St. Henry’s School
Library, and will continue the first and second Monday of each month

St. Henry Parish Registration
Registration with St. Henry Parish is simple – drop by the rectory office and fill
out a registration card. If you need to have a registration card mailed to you, or if
you are not sure whether or not you are registered, call 201-436-857.
Remember, registration with your parish is a requirement if you wish to be a
godparent or a sponsor for Confirmation.

Faith Sharing & Intercessory Prayer Group
Please continue to place your prayer requests in the box at the vestibule of the
church. Meetings will start up again in September with a new and exciting
program for Faith Sharing.

Thank You!
Our Collection last Sunday was $7,304
Children’s collection was: $29

Thank you, once again, for your continued support and generosity!

Mission Appeal
    THIS WEEKEND we will have our Mission Appeal, as part of the Archdiocesan Mission Cooperative Plan.
There will be a second collection at the 5:30 PM Saturday Mass and all the Sunday Masses.
    Msgr. George Tomichek, a native of Philadelphia who has worked 33 years in the Philippines, will speak at all the Masses
providing us with a greater understanding of the mission work in the Diocese of Calbayog, Philippines.
    The area suffers greatly from typhoons and flooding and because of poverty there, homes have not been built to withstand the
destruction of these elements. Therefore, there is a great need for assistance in building solid, strong homes. Since there is only
one main road in Calbayog, new roads are needed in the territory. Funds are also needed for the spiritual education of the
people. A pastoral center, built in recent years, was destroyed by fire, therefore, a new pastoral center is necessary for medical,
education and evangelization programs. There are 54 young men studying in the seminary and 45 more waiting, but housing and
resources are necessary to sustain and support them. Our Parish has always been generous in supporting missionaries and the
work in the missions. Your generous support next weekend is gratefully appreciated. Thank you!

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
“…a time to be born...”
We welcome into our parish community the following Christians who were recently Baptized:
Gia Grace Valentino, Alyssa Taylor Archiello, Peter Wael Karkour,
Kinga Lubczenko, Adienne Leigh Palanca, Mya Naylani Reyes
“…a time to love…”
We congratulate and pray for God’s blessings for the following couples who were married in May & June, 2010:
Michael Jubina & Erika Schiele
Guirguis Massoud & Nydia Yeye
Frank DeFina & Cynthia Ruchala
Kyle Wilson & Lauren Rusnak
Gabriel Paolucci & Bernice Amadeo
“… a time to be born to eternal life…”
Remember in your prayers those of our parish, family, friends and community who have recently died,
as well as those who have died in the service of our Country
“…and a time for peace in all the world…”
Pray for our servicemen and women at home and abroad

St. Henry RECTORY
SUMMER HOURS
Monday through Thursday
9:00 AM—12:00 PM
(through July 29, 2010)

  Dear Parishioners of St. Henry Church,
    It has been a month since I arrived at St. Henry’s, and I would like to
express my gratitude for your kindness and welcoming spirit. I am
finally finished with unpacking and am getting used to my new schedule
and responsibilities.
    In the last four years I spent at St. Teresa of Avila in Summit, New
Jersey, I had a very positive experience with the parish ministry there.
Likewise, I look forward to getting to know my new parish family of St.
Henry. I am very impressed with how many of you know how to
pronounce my name, Maciej. It seems that you have greater experience
with Polish names than parishioners in my former assignment. My legal
name is Maciej. However, I always go by Maciek (pronounced Mah -
Chek), or “Mom’s Check”, as Father Rich has already memorized.
See you around!                        - Father Maciej

In the Hospital?
We would like to visit our parishioners who are in the
hospital, but because of patient conficentiality laws, the only
way we can know if someone is hospitalized is if someone
informs us. Will you be going into the hospital? Do you have
a family member in the hospital? Please call the rectory at
201-436-0857.

LINE DANCING
TUESDAYS, 7:30 PM, St. Henry’s Parish Center, entrance fee:$5/person

OUR SUMMER MUSIC…
     We begin using a Seasonal Responsorial Psalm in July, and continue using it
until September. Your sung response is “Lord, you have the words of
everlasting life”.
     The purpose of the Seasonal Psalm is to give you the opportunity to
memorize and savor it (rather than referring to a changing printed psalm
response each week). We encourage you to follow the lead of the cantor on this
beautiful refrain.
     The other sung Mass parts have been selected from very familiar sources.
You should easily recognize and follow the melodies. Since the Parish Choir,
Youth Ensemble, and Children’s Choir are off for the summer, we urge you to
fully participate in the Sunday Liturgy by “singing your heart out”.
LORD, YOU HAVE THE WORDS
OF EVERLASTING LIFE—Ps. 19

Summer Faith Sharing
July & August
During the remaining Friday of July and the first three Fridays of August we
shall continue to explore the Bible and to open up the Sunday Scripture
readings in the Rectory office meeting room, from 10 AM to 11:30 AM.
We invite you to come with your Bible and an open mind and an open
heart. If you don’t have a Bible, we have a few extras.

FALL/WINTER
“Women of the Old Testament” - you’ve heard their names, you’ve heard
stories about them—stories which offer us courage and insight. The Friday
morning Faith Sharing/Scripture Study Group will explore the life and times
of these women beginning on Friday, September 10th, and continuing for
about 20 weeks until the beginning of Lent. Enrollment is limited. Pre-
registration is necessary if you wish to have the study materials. Cost of
study materials (commentary and study guide) will be about $15.
If you are interested or wish more information, please call Ginny Myer at
201-577-8349.
