From the Pastor’s Desk Dear Parishioners, This Friday, our parish school will graduate the Class of 2016 at a Liturgy and Commencement Ceremony. On behalf of all parishioners I extend our prayerful good wishes to these students many of whom have been “with us” for the past nine years…perhaps even longer for those who attended our Preschool. I should like to think that our school, with its dedicated faculty, has provided a firm spiritual and academic foundation so necessary for high school and beyond. Graduation provides the occasion to offer our thanks to all involved in keeping the mission of our parish school strong—administrators, faculty, staff, our School Board, and Parent-Teacher Association. In many ways we are looking to keep our spiritual and academic program excellent, our campus attractive, and our financial stewardship sound. I am grateful for the consistent support of all parishioners whose sacrifices weekly help us to achieve these aims. The greatest challenge we face is the need to increase our enrollment, which this year stood at 235 (K-8). Would that all parishioners be strong advocates and “advertisers” for our school! Remember our newest alumni in your prayers this week.
Our Lady of Sorrows, show thyself a Mother
and welcome under your mantle the Class of 2016
Teach them to believe as you believed. Illumine their path and make their road of life
secure and joyful. With affection, Msgr. Gervasio

Mesaj ki soti nan biwo Kire-a Frè-m ak Sè-m yo, Vandredi sa a, Klas 2016 lekòl pawasyal la pral gradye nan yon seremoni litiji ak kòmansman. Onon de tout pawasyen nou yo, mwen prezante konpliman mwen ak anpil lapriyè a elèv sa yo , anpil nan yo te "avèk nou" pandan 9 dènye lane yo petè menm ankò plis paske ladan yo genyen ki nan lekòl la depi klas matènèl. Mwen ta vle panse ke lekòl nou an, avèk pwofesè de karyè nou yo ki chaje ak dedikasyon, te bayo yon famasyon espirityèl e akademik de baz solid kap sèvi yo nan lekòl segondè e pandan tout lavi yo. Gradyasyon bay okazyonpou nou remèsye tout moun ki enplike nan kenbe misyon pawas nou fò—administratè yo, pwofesè yo, anplwaye yo, komisyon konsèy lekòl nou an, ak asosasyon paran-pwofesè. Nan plizyè fason, nap chèche kenbe pwogram espirityèl ak materyèl nou ekselan, Campus nou an atiran epi jesyon finansye nou an toujou byen kontwole. Mwen rekonesan pou sipò san rete tout pawasyen nou yo pou sakrifis chak semèn yo ede nou reyalize objektif sa yo. Pi gwo defi nap konfronte se nesesite pou ogmante enskripsyon nou yo. Lane sa a efektif la te o nonb de 235 (K-8). Eske tout pawasyen nou yo pral tounen des moun kap defann epi fè piblisite pou lekòl nou an! Semèn sa a, nan lapriyè nou, pa bliye nouvo ansyen elèv nou yo.
Notre Dame des douleurs Wmenm ki Manman nou
Akeyi anba manto W Klas 2016 la Anseye yo pou yo kwè menm jan W te kwè a
Klere chemen yo epi fè ke nan wout yap fè nan lavi yo Ya jwenn Sekirite ak Kèkontan
Avèk afeksyon, Msgr. Gervasio

On May 11, 1991, at our Cathedral, Jeffery Pierfy and Dennis Slavin were ordained to the Sacred Order of Deacon at the hands of Bishop John C. Reiss. Ordained with them was also our parishioner Jack D'Agostino, of happy memory, who served our parish with particular devotion. Let us unite ourselves to the joy and thanksgiving of this silver anniversary of faithful service to the Diocese and our parish. Let us pray for and thank our Deacons on this significant milestone!

Answering Atheism The Reading Group has a new book: Answering Atheism. Have you ever met someone who did not believe in God? Did you have trouble explaining your faith to them or did you feel too intimidated to even try? In our bi-weekly Reading Group, we will be reading just the book for you. Answering Atheism, by
Trent Horn, presents a new charitable and reasonable approach to the questions atheists sometimes have about the faith. In the Reading Group, we will be reading this work every other week starting on June 23 at 7 p.m. in the OLS Church Library. If this book is of interest to you and you want more details, feel free to contact Fr. Carter at the parish office or his email [email protected]. We always love more people to join us in our discussions.
Congratulations! Kudos to Matthew Peluso, of Boy Scout Troop 91, who is being recognized at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor this Sunday for having earned Scouting's highest rank. Eagle Scouts exemplify the virtues of service, leadership, and duty to God, using their training and influence to better their communities and the world.

News From Your Parish School Get in the Game
There is still time for plenty of excitement at Our Lady of Sorrows School! Full school assembly programs are such a special time for the students and faculty alike! Last week, together with the support of our very active Sports Committee, we were happy to welcome Joe "The Trick Star" Odihiambo to our school. This was no ordinary assembly. Joe was an NBA All-Star Performer for 2006, 07, 08, 09 and 10! Joe Odihiambo is a 12-time Guiness Book of World Records World Record Holder! He shared his skills of dribbling, balancing the greatest number of basketballs, and ball handling for the longest amount
of time! It's never really a fun assembly until the children "get in the game," and this surely was part of the action! John Merluse (Grade 4) and Julio Juarez (Grade 8) took on Joe in dribbling half court. Truly, both of these very able players gave Joe a "run for his money". John competed in his walking cast, and still stayed "in the game"! In
the words of Joe at the culmination of the program, "I know two players that I will surely be seeing more of in the world of basketball!" This says so very much for our sports program as well as the well-rounded education our children receive at OLS. (Here is a little secret that will soon be announced: Julio will be awarded the distinction of "Best Handwriting Skills for a Grade 8 Student in the entire state of New Jersey")! Joe shared that everyone can succeed with 5 attributes: Faith in Yourself, Persistence, Patience, Hard Work, and Responsibility. Together with our faith in God, these are the very foundation of the program at OLS. Joe closed his assembly program with a moving quote from the Bible and reminded everyone that only through our faith and the support of God can we find success and happiness. We thank the Sports Committee for their support. You may want to consider a donation for a special program for the students at your parish school. Gathering events bring so very much depth and bonding to the school experience. Most of all, our students gain valuable life-lessons that contribute to a better world for everyone.
Rosary Altar Society News The Prayer Shawl Group will meet at 1:30 p.m. on June 13 in the Church Meeting Room at the OLS Campus. Prayer shawls are made for patients in area hospitals, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. If you or anyone you know is interested in making prayer shawls, or if you wish to donate yarn, please contact Joyce Farina at 888-0437.
