READINGS FOR THE WEEK
Scriptural Reflections on Stewardship
As we pray today for an increase of spiritual gifts, we are
reminded by the bishops’ pastoral on stewardship that good
stew-
ardship of the Church “means cherishing and fos-tering the gifts
of all, while using one’s own gifts to serve the community of
faith.”
Every Tuesday, the Blessed Sacrament is ex-
posed in the church from 3 to 4 p.m. It is an hour of prayer for
the priests, religious men and women and an increase of vocations
to the priesthood and the religious life of the Church.
We invite you to come and spend time with the Lord for these
intentions and for your personal requests. Holy Hour closes with
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
THANKSGIVING FOOD COLLECTION
We thank all those who have been bringing in food for the Food
Pantry. It’s greatly appreciated. All of this recent food donated
will be put towards the
Thanksgiving Food Collection and will be distrib-uted to our
needy parishioners for Thanksgiving Baskets. These baskets will be
distributed from St. Nicholas rectory, as it was done last
year.
Please continue your food donations by placing them in the ‘food
receptacle’ located in the church vestibule. All food items need to
be NON-PERISHABLE. Again, Thank you!
Bible Study Father Titus Njoku offers a Bible Class to all
parishioners and friends every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the
Rectory Basement. All are
welcome; no fee. For information, please call the Rectory at
(201) 656-2490 or (201) 653-
4785. This Bible Class is currently on-going.

p.m.
in St. Anne’s Rectory meeting room.

St. Anne’s Parish Monthly Social
OUR NEXT PARISH SOCIAL IS SCHEDULED FOR:
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16th (after all SUNDAY Masses)
REFRESHMENTS ARE COMPLIMENTS OF THE PARISH. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO
STOP IN CENTENNIAL HALL TO
ENJOY THE COMPANY OF YOUR FELLOW PARISHIONERS. THIS SOCIAL IS
SPONSORED ST. ANNE’S PASTORAL
COUNCIL (COMMUNITY SERVICE AND BUILDING CLUSTERS).
EVANGELIZATION CORNER
The Gospel of John ”Behold the Lamb of God!”
Scripture: John 1:35–42
The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples;
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of
God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed
Jesus. Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them,
“What do you seek?” And they said to him,“Rabbi” (which means
Teacher), “where are you staying?”
He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was
staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the
tenth hour.
One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was
Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his brother Simon,
and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ).
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, “So you are
Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas” (which means
Peter).
Meditation: Who is Jesus for you? John calls Jesus the Lamb of
God and thus signifies Jesus’ mis-sion as the One who redeems us
from our sins. In Jesus he saw the true and only sacrifice which
can deliver us from sin.

Los principales nombres que se le dan a Jesús
Leyendo los Santos Evangelios nos sorprende la variedad de
nombres que se le dan a Cristo, ya sea por parte de los
evangelistas o porque el mismo Cristo se los aplica a sí mismo:
Camino, Verdad, Vida, Pastor, Rey, Luz, Pan , Maestro, Compañero de
camino, Resur-rección, Vida, Salvador, Mesias, Cordero de Dios,
etc. Esto nos demuestra la riqueza inmensa que encierra el corazón
de Cristo. Acerquémonos pues, al Evangelio para descubrir la
hondura y profundidad de su amor.
La próxima vez que visites la casa de Dios, invita a un vecino,
hermano o un amigo...contamos con tu ayuda para aumentar la
feligrecia.

Located in St. Anne’s Rectory
Families with young children can be greatly enriched by
beginning new traditions in their homes. Children especially enjoy
the Advent Calendar because each day they get to open a new window
which brings them closer to the birth of Our Lord.
As Advent Season approaches, we need to remind ourselves to
celebrate the joy of anticipation, we must let the Season of Advent
lead us into Christmas. Advent Candles and Wreaths assist us in
focusing on our spiritual preparation the same way Christmas
decorations assist us in our celebration of Christ’s Birth.

Manila sound is back and alive at … The HOTDOG BAND CONCERT At
the Landmark Loews Theater In Jersey City Beckoning instantly
without any premeditation or choice to the call of charitable deeds
is an innate nature to this group, who believed that bands have
their designated slot in the local limelight when solo performers
were solely dominating the music scene… making this group, the
HOTDOG, truly a rare breed. HOTDOG’s response to the earnest
request of St Anne’s Special Fund-raising Committee for a
fund-raising project that’s primarily banking on their talent is a
noteworthy act of charity itself. The certainty of reviving the
never-fading songs like “Manila,” (the iconic song that thrusts
deep into the hearts of Pinoys who were long gone away from home),
“Pers Lab,” “Annie Batungbakal,” “Bongga Ka Day,” “O Lumapit Ka,”
“Miss Universe,” and many other of their hit ditties, is
excit-ingly rising to a new height beyond expectations. Enjoying
the popularity of a career that spanned almost four decades since
they helped innovate the so-called “Manila Sound,” the HOTDOG’s
music is an enticing and addictive as their moniker’s derivation
and as sentimentally nostalgic as any plaintive native song
specially among “balikbayans.” This long-lasting group of
bi-lingual song-writer-singers has threaped their demanding
popularity up to this date when a great number of diverse genres
have mushroomed incessantly and constantly prevailed. Get
nostalgic… be sentimental once more…! Enjoy the HOTDOG’s brand of
music when they per-form for the benefit of the St. Anne’s Church
on Sunday, November 23, 2008 (4-7 PM) at Land-mark Loews Theater
along 54 Kennedy Boulevard, Jersey City, New Jersey with the
special guest appearances of Ocean of Mercy Choir of Jersey City
and the Urban Echo of Queens, New York. Sponsored by Twin Peaks
Inc., Oscar Printing Services, Filipino Times and Asian Review,
Global Philippines Magazine, Philippine Chronicle USA, Asian
Journal , Planet Philippines and Newstar Philippines, the HOTDOG
BAND CONCERT Tickets are at $20, $25, $30 and $35 with parking
available at Square Ramp Garage. For more information, details and
