TogetherComing Together
Often fathers of children with special needs feel iso-lated from
the experiences of other fathers. This can weigh heavy on dads when
combined with the addi-tional expenses, medical and school issues
and stresses on a family that are often associated with having a
child with special needs. Therefore, a group of fathers of children
with special needs have come together to form a group so that they
can learn from and
strengthen each other to be better fathers (and have some fun
too!). If you are the father of a child (of any
age) with special needs, come to:

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
IS BATTLING SEXUAL ABUSE
While most media focus over the past ten or more years has been
on the incidents of sexual abuse within the Church, little has been
said about the many posi-tive steps that the Catholic Church has
taken to ad-dress the issue. Dioceses across the country, and
es-pecially the Archdiocese of Newark, have instituted
compassionate outreach to victims and support ser-vices, training
and background checks for staff and volunteers, training for
children and youth, codes of conduct, reporting requirements to
civil authorities, independent Review Boards to investigate
allegations
and recommend actions under Canon law for offend-
ers, as well as other initiatives.
To date, the Catholic Church is the only youth-serving
organization in the country – private or public -- to undertake
such a comprehensive program to create and promulgate safe
environments for children and
young people.
Independent auditors from the United States Confer-ence of
Catholic Bishops have found the Archdiocese of Newark to be fully
compliant with the requirements of the Charter for the Protection
of Children and
Young People in every year since audits began in 2003.

DISCERNMENT RETREAT
On January 10-11-12, 2014 the Office for Vocations for Religious
Life of the Archdiocese of Newark will organize a discernment
retreat for men and women to
discern Religious Life.
The discernment retreat is for men and women ages 18-35
(exceptions can be made). Discernment should be part of the life of
every young person. Attending a discernment retreat means that a
young person puts some time aside to allow the Lord to speak to
his/her heart, and so any young person who is desirous to do so is
welcome to this retreat. Register as soon as possi-
ble.

‘CATHOLIC’ NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
Time is a most precious gift. As we see time through the eyes of
faith, it becomes an
opportunity to grow in grace. May the year 2014 be a true year
of grace for
each of us at Saint Anne’s. To aid us in holding the gift of
Christmas
throughout the year, may I suggest the following ideas for New
Year’s
Resolutions:
1. Attend daily Mass once or twice a month;
2. Participate in one of our novenas;
3. Set aside some time each day to read the Scriptures;
4. Do not leave Mass right after Communion – Sing the final
song. Spend
some time in meditation. Don’t rush your prayer.
5. Join one of our Societies (Holy Name, Rosary Society, Legion
of Mary,
Padre Pio, St. Joseph’s Morning Prayer Group, Choir, etc) and
share
your faith in community;
6. Pick a ministry the parish needs and develop it with friends
and family;
7. Pray for vocations in this time of need;
8. Evaluate your involvement in the parish and pledge a gift of
time;
9. Say the rosary;
10. Pick a corporal work of mercy and make our faith
incarnate;
11. Become a coach and help our youth have real adult role
models;
12. Share a “cost of living” donation in your envelope;
13. Use E-Giving or our parish envelope system;
14. Celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation by developing a
confessor.
Take time to grow with this very unique and very Catholic
Sacrament.
One of the seven precious Sacramental ways the Lord reminds us
of
His tender love.
Pick one, two, or three resolutions and each month renew your
pledge so that it
becomes a habit or second nature to your person. This will let
Christmas lead
to Easter.
