FROM THE PASTOR: I would like to share with you
some information which was recently conveyed to me by the
Rockaway Borough Police Department. Please be advised
that the turning of Church Street into a ONE WAY
STREET is done only for Saturday from 4-9 pm and Sunday
from 6:30 am—1:30 pm. This is the only time the ordinance
allows for the ONE WAY STREET. I have been in dialogue
with the police department to add additional days (holy days,
Ash Wednesday, Christmas, etc.) to the ordinance since I am
regularly informed by parishioners and visitors to our church
regarding the side swiping of cars resulting in body damage
and side mirrors being destroyed. Church Street is a county
road and any adjustment to the ordinance must be done on
the county level. I am pursing this matter on the county
level! I advise you to please use caution as you park on
Church Street. Please do not park in the ONE WAY
STREET fashion during the week since the one way is only
enforced on Saturday and Sunday at the above stated times.
In addition, I invite you, especially the elderly, to take ad-
vantage of the parking spots near the rectory which have the
signs “Clergy Parking Only.” These are available for you
to use. Please obey all traffic and parking regulations, as
well as being courteous as you enter and leave our church
property. I appreciate your cooperation!

ATTENTION MEN – A men’s group called FATHERS
OF ST. JOSEPH will be meeting every other Saturday
morning at 5:30 a.m. in the St. Cecilia Office Building.
The Fathers of St. Joseph gatherings are not so much
meetings as they are mini retreats, whose aim is to com-
municate the spirituality of fatherhood in a manner that
encourages and inspires fathers to embrace, engage and –
by the power of the Holy Spirit – sanctify their vocation.
MASSES BEING OFFERED—Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish on

messages are fake that are requesting “favors”,
“money” or “gift cards”. Should you have any
questions, please call the parish office at 973-
627-0313. Do not reply to these emails.
The Feminine Genius Project: A prayer and discussion
ministry for mothers. We will meet every first and third
Saturday morning (6:30—8:00 am) in the St. Cecilia par-
ish office for grace & coffee. We hope that this gives
each of us the spiritual recharge we need through prayer,
group discussion, and time with Christ in the Blessed Sac-
rament in order to serve our families, our communities,
and our Lord Jesus better. This group serves mothers
with school-aged children. Babysitting is not provided.

580-St. Cecilia
ST. CAMILLUS was born in 1550, in a small town of the Kingdom of Naples. In his youth he became a soldier and for some
time led a wayward life. He lost so much in gaming that he was forced to work as a laborer on a building belonging to the
Capuchins. An exhortation made to him by the guardian of the convent touched him and he resolved to change his conduct.
He now begged to be admitted into the Order, but Divine Providence willed otherwise. Twice he received the Capuchin habit,
but he was obliged each time to leave the novitiate, as he could not be admitted to profession on account of an ulcer on one of
his legs. He later went to Rome and entered the Hospital of Incurables, and after some time was appointed its administrator.
Regarding himself as the servant of the sick, he rendered them the most humiliating services.
At the age of thirty-two he undertook to study, beginning the first elements of grammar with the children. Having been or-
dained priest, he laid the foundation of the Congregation of Regular Clerics to administer to the sick. He had obstacles to en-
counter, but he triumphed over them all and succeeded in obtaining from the Apostolic See the approbation of his Institute.
Henceforth his life was entirely devoted to the sick and the dying, and after his death this work was continued by the Order he
had founded. The Saint had as confessor another Saint, namely, Philip Neri, the founder of the Oratory, who preceded him to
the tomb. St. Camilius was endowed by God with the spirit of prophecy and other supernatural gifts. He died on July 14,
1614, and was canonized in 1746 by Pope Benedict XIV.
PRAYER God, You adorned St. Camillus, Your Priest, with the singular grace of charity toward the sick. By his merits, pour
forth the spirit of Your love into us, so that by serving You in our brothers here on earth we may safely some to You at the
hour of death. Amen

ST. CAMILLUS DE LESSIS, Priest July 14—Patron of Hospitals and the Sick
My dear parishioners,
Today we commemorate the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time in our celebration of the Lord’s Day. IN the Gospel we are told
of the “seventy two others” whom Jesus had sent out to proclaim the Kingdom of God by their words and deeds. These
“others” were in addition to the 12 men Apostles the Lord had chosen for a special ministry. The 72 return to Jesus testify-
ing to the success of their mission and that “even demons are subject to us.” The Lord sent them out with His blessing to
assist Him in the work of the Kingdom. The 72 are obedient to Jesus and follow His instruction. As a result of their collabo-
ration even satanic forces prove powerless in the thwarting of their ministry.
This periscope tells us that the larger group of 72 collaborators, ministers in harmony with the much smaller group of 12
Apostles, the larger group representing the lay faithful and the smaller group representing the ordained.
Being ordained for 44 years I have had enough experience to know that the lay faithful have a great influence in bringing
about the Kingdom of God. When others see committed lay faithful testify to their belief in Christ and His Church there is a
special credibility that is most attractive. Others will be especially attuned to listen to the witness of a devout Catholic and
will engage them in a conversation of wanting to know more of that which brings them joy.
That is why all of YOU, the larger group, are so important in the work of spreading the joy of the Gospel. Your words and
the deeds which define your life are what others will admire and wish to attain. You have a greater power, even surpassing
the ordained, in growing the Church in our local community. There are so many who are inactive, or who have left the
Church all together, whom the Lord is sending you to evangelize through your words and good deeds. You can get into
some places and situations which may not always be open to the clergy. As a result of this, you have an opportunity to do
miracles! You may not consider yourself to be a missionary but indeed you are called and sent by virtue of your Baptism
which configured you into Christ.
The challenge is to start seeing yourself as a part of the “72” that were called and sent to bring others to Jesus. And when
this happens and others will come because of the strength of your words and deeds don’t be surprised “but rejoice because
your names are written in heaven.”
See you in church!
