- A message from Bishop David M. O'Connell, C.M.
  
  December 11
  
  Of course we know that respecting life is a human imperative that cannot and must not be limited to a single month or a single day. It is an "everyday and always" cause that is not unique to any one religious belief or denomination. For Catholics, however, respecting life, especially the unborn, is intrinsic to our identity as people of faith. It admits no denial, no exception, no compromise. “Every life is cherished, chosen, sent,” as the theme of Respect Life Month expresses.

- Why a Marriage Ministry Team?
  
  December 9
  
  Our pastor, Msgr. Gervasio, said, “The answer is simple—marriage matters! A parish should not be content with providing only a good preparation for marriage. It should also be eager to accompany a couple on the road of married life...A marriage does not succeed just because it lasts; its quality is also important.

- Marriage Moments by Susan Vogt
  
  December 9
  
  Most couples think that being involved sexually is the most intimate part of their marriage. Praying together, however, may be an even deeper form of intimacy. It takes great trust to pour out your heart to God in the presence of your spouse. A first step may be praying for each other even if not in one another's presence. A second step may be silent meditation in each other's presence. Click the article title for a link to other steps you can take.

From the Pastor's Desk

Dear Parishioners:

Our Lady is always a central figure in the Advent Season. This Wednesday we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas and of the Unborn. Last month our parish received and had custody for a week, one of the Guadalupe Torches, a reminder that Mary bore in her womb the light of the world. This was followed last week by a procession in honor of Our Lady through the streets of Trenton—from Immaculate Conception Church to the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption.

An image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is displayed for veneration in Mary’s Alcove at Our Lady of Sorrows throughout the season of Advent. It is one of the images of Our Lady where she is depicted “with child”—certainly an apt image for this holy season of expectation. As we celebrate her feast—her coming to the New World—let us pray for our nation and indeed for renewal of respect for the dignity of all human life, from conception to natural death.
With affection,
Msgr. Gervasio

PS Think about joining the good work of our Respect Life Group. It meets at 7 pm on the first Thursday of every month in the Church Meeting Room at Our Lady of Sorrows.

Frè-m ak Sè-m yo,

Manman Notre Dame toujou rete yon figi sentral nan sezon TanLavan an. Jou Mèkredi sa a, n'ap selebre Fèt Notre Dame de la Guadeloupe, Patwòn Lamerique ak tout timoun ki nan vant manman. Mwa pase pawas nou an te resevwa e kenbe pandan yon semèn youn nan flanbo Laguadloup yo, yon souveni ke Manman Mari pote nan vant Li ki se limyè pou tout moun sou tè a. Semèn dènye, nan tout lari nan Trenton, nou te wè tout bèl bagay sa yo, kòmanse nan Legliz Imakilé Konsepsyon jiska Katedral Sent Mari Notr Dame de l'Asomption, nan posesion ki te fèt an lonè Notre Dame. Aktyèlman nan ti chapèl Maman Mari a ki nan Legliz OLS la, gen yon imaj Notre Dame de la Guadeloupe ki ekspoze ladann. Se youn nan imaj ki dekri Notre Dame "avèk yon timoun"—Sètènman yon imaj konvenab pou sezon sent sa a nap tann lan. pandan nap selebre fèt Li ki viniLi nan Mond Nouvo a—an nou lapriyè pou peyi nou ak bien sur renouvèlman respè pou diyité lavi tout moun—kömanse nan konsepsyon pou fini nan lamò natirèl.
Avèk afeksyon,
Msgr Gervasio

PS. Chak premye Jedi dimwa a 7:00pm nan sal reyinyon ki nan Legliz OLS la,, Gwoup Respect Life la rankontre. Tout moun envite a fè pati de group sa a.
