CHAPLAIN'S MESSAGE
One of the saints for this summer month of July is Mary Magdalene. I know because
her feast day is also my birthday! July 22. Most often when people think of her, they think of
her as either a prostitute or great sinner. While it is not impossible that she is the sinful
woman who washed the feet of Jesus, this identification is not certain. What we do know is
that she was the first eyewitness of the Resurrection, which we know from the account in John
20:1-18), and that she was one from whom Jesus had cast out seven demons (see Mark 16:9
and Luke 8:2).
While we don’t know for certain what this meant, we do know that Jesus had delivered
her from great challenges in her life. He had given her freedom, and certainly, she was
eternally grateful that she had received her life back.
Reflecting on her in this month of July, we can take with us two important lessons. The
first is the importance of relying upon the power of God to deliver us from evil. As we
celebrate the birth of this nation in July, we are reminded of the importance of praying for our
country. There are so many forces of evil confronting us. We must turn to the power of Jesus
to exorcise the demons that seek to harm our country and turn us away from the Father. It is
the power of prayer, the power of Jesus, that will save us.
The second lesson is the perpetual reminder of the need for gratitude for the blessings
that God bestows upon us. I doubt that a day went by without Mary Magdalene praising God
for what He had done for her. We must also be continuously grateful for the blessings we
receive, especially the spiritual gifts of faith and having God’s Grace in our lives.
Summer is a time for barbecues, vacations, and trips to the beach. It is also a time for us
to think about this nation in which God has placed us. St. Mary Magdalene reminds us of the
necessity of relying upon the Lord to face the challenges before us, and also the importance of
always being aware of and expressing gratitude for God’s blessings.
Have a great summer. Let us pray for one another and for our country.
Msgr. Ken

GRAND KNIGHT'S MESSAGE
Greetings Brothers Knights,
As we approach Independence Day let us be reminded first and for most the backbone of
our order, God and Country! Our church and Pastor is second to none so we should support them
as much as they support us by volunteering especially at the Carnival with helping out and
supporting thru the buying of the super 50/50 tickets which are being sold at the masses and let us
show our faith by attending the masses. We had a successful BBQ this past Sunday honoring the
graduating seniors and the winners of the free throw contest last year, thanks to all that helped
make it great and thanks to all the parents. The Breakfasts are temporarily on hold at least till
September. We are setting up a table at the Carnival to sell the Giant tickets and promote the Golf
outing, if you have not purchased a ticket please do and if you play golf please sign up to play or
be a sponsor and always remember God and Country. Please pray for our Church and our
Country and for each other and that we will always be “One Nation under God”
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Vivat Jesus
Yours in his service
Mike Rua G.K.

Prayer for the Canonization of
Blessed Michael McGivney
Founder of the Knights of Columbus
God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and
orphan, you called your priest, Blessed Michael McGivney, to be an apostle
of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their
neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue, may we follow your
Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and
building up his Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration of your
servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may
continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask
that you glorify Blessed Michael McGivney on earth according to the design
of your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the favor I now present
(here make your request). Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
10Supreme Chaplain's Monthly Challenge
“Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority
over unclean spirits. He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick — no food,
no sack, no money in their belts.” (Gospel for July 11, Mk 6:7-8)
Jesus sends his disciples out on their mission with few provisions. It would be unthinkable for us
today to take a trip without carrying cash or a credit card, making lodging arrangements or packing a
suitcase. What are we to make of Christ’s instructions, and how do they relate to our own baptismal
mission? I offer two thoughts. First, we must trust that God will provide for our needs as we carry out
his work. Second, we must not be encumbered by “excess baggage” — anything in our lives that can
hold us back from carrying out God’s will.
Challenge by Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William E. Lori:
This month, I challenge you to spend an hour each week in eucharistic adoration, reflecting on
relying on God alone and becoming detached from the things of this world. Second, I challenge you to
work with your pastor to implement the Faith in Action Holy Hour program.
Questions for Reflection:
Are you aware that Jesus is sending you on a mission in the world? Do you truly trust God to
provide for your needs along the way? What “baggage” are you carrying that is holding you back from
fulfilling God’s mission for you?
11ADOPT A SISTER
ADOPT A SISTER DONATION
The Adopt a Sister program was an idea born out of great need as aging Sisters and retirement
costs hit home. Today, our Sisters still rely on the generosity of their adopted family to take
care of them. And, in gratitude for your faith and friendship, your “adopted” Sister will pray for
you each day for a year. Join us in giving back to those who have given so much.
You too can Adopt, check it out by going to https://salesiansisters.org/donation/
Thank you and God Bless.
12Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come
unto him and dine with him and he with Me. ~ Revelation 3:20
Hello my Brother Knights,
I wanted to invite you to a retreat that I attended that really helped me. We’re so fortunate at St.
Mary’s, to have this annual retreat. It’s called the Light of the World Parish Retreat, and it happens
in the parish center in Manahawkin. I had to tell you all about it, and invite you, because I have been
changed because of it.
The Light of the World Retreat (which this year happens Saturday July 31st and Sunday
August 1st) is a kerygmatic retreat. It’s about that First Proclamation of the Good News by Jesus to
His apostles. It’s about my relationship, your relationship with God. It’s about how much God loves
us. It’s about so many good things. When I reflected on this experience, this opportunity of grace, I
thought of you.
Sometimes we are so busy with our day to day lives that we don’t even have time to recognize
what (or who) we are missing. Life’s distractions seem to be getting more intense; this retreat offers a
respite from all of that.
If you are interested in attending the Light of the World Retreat, please call the rectory at (609)
698-5531, and tell them you are signing up for the retreat! Someone will reach out to you with further
details. I hope to see and you and your family then!
Sincerely,
Ed Massari
I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light
of life. ~ John 8:12
13MILES FOR ST. MARY’S
Pride in our Stride
Due to COVID-19 and its uncertainties and ongoing protocols, we have had many fund raising events
canceled again this year. We are going to have our “Miles for St. Mary’s” to help our church and all our charity
outreach ministries.
St. Mary’s needs you. Like so many of you, we too, are facing a shortfall due to the effects of the
pandemic. Our fundraisers are still canceled during this time. Many of our parishioners have hit the pavement
and logged many miles. Let’s turn these miles into Miles for St. Mary’s. You can participate as a walker, jogger,
or ride your bicycle. Logging miles will begin on Memorial Day and run through Labor Day. You can sign up
as a participant, sponsor or give a one-time donation. See St. Mary’s website for more information, sign-up
sheets, etc. For more information or for any questions, please call Fran Thompson at (973) 647-0716, Patty
Golden at (609) 709-1633 or SK Ralph Pasqua at (732) 241-5886.

Prayer to Father Michael J. McGivney
(Founder of the Knights of Columbus)
O great and glorious God, you imbued your holy priest,
Father Michael J. McGivney,
with deep priestly virtue and especially with pastoral concern for the poor,
the orphan, the widow, for the Christian education of youth,
for the protection of the faith of the working man of his day.
Now that his priestly ministry continues to spread to countless millions
throughout the world through the efforts and influence of the Order
of the Knights of Columbus, which Father McGivney founded,
we beseech you, Heavenly Father, to raise your faithful servant, Michael,
to the honors of the altar.
We ask this favor through our Lord Jesus Christ
and His holy mother, Mary and our mother.
Amen.
