PARISH EVENTS 2
From One of Our Former Pastors
Peace. I remember sitting in my room and watching one
December 5, 2010 evening as the electrical lines were pulled down during very
I was called by Archbishop McCarrick one afternoon, strong winds, and the power went out. For three days we
while participating at a Finance Council meeting at St. lived without power and lights, until they got everything back
Mary’s, Dumont, asking me if I would become pastor of on line.
Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish in Maywood. I said yes
I would, having been at St. Mary’s for 10 years at that
time, 3 of which I worked full time with Family Life
Ministries, in the area of Separated and Divorced. I later
learned Bishop John Smith had suggested my name to
the Archbishop, having served under him at St. Mary’s
before he became Vicar General in the Archdiocese.
I arrived on November 5th for the Saturday evening
Mass. It was incredibly dark in the church, so on Monday
morning after the 9:00 Mass, a friend and myself started
changing all the light bulbs that were out. Later Monday
afternoon, I was in the cafeteria for a debate on the
presidential election (1988) where I looked around and
asked Sr. Teresa, the 8th grade teacher at the time, when
the cafeteria was last painted. She said she would find
out and get back to me. Her response was 17 years. I
got our maintenance man, John Baxter, and the two of us
started painting until it was finished. After Thanksgiving I
started on Sr. Louise’s office. Then a number of families
who had children in the school would come in after work,
and they finished the entire school. When I arrived at
Queen of Peace, we had a little over 160 children in the
school. During my second year there, we reached the
number set to keep open a Catholic school. In January of
that school year, I had a meeting with the school parents
and informed them of the possibility that our school would
have to be merged with a nearby Catholic school
because of dwindling numbers. At the end of that school
year, we had 105 children signed up for the upcoming
year. I informed the diocese, and they thought it would
be better to close and combine with a neighboring school
to have a stronger school community. Holy Trinity school
was looking for a partner school, but the decision was
made to merge with St. Peter’s school in River Edge. Our
children traveled to St. Peter’s each morning. They had
more children than Queen of Peace, and we had to pay to
support the effort to keep the combined school open. The
nuns, under the direction of Sr. Anne Zappatta, and then,
Sr. Louise Del Carpine, did a wonderful job, while the
school remained open. In my first year there, the lay
teachers were paid a salary of $5,000 or $6,000, without
any hospital benefits. My second year there they were
being paid $14,000 or $15,000 with benefits. It also
meant the dissolution of the school.
While I was at Queen of Peace, my health suffered. I
was hospitalized for diabetes with a blood sugar count of
650 (80 to 120 is normal). I spent a week in the hospital
and was back on the job. My heart was getting
increasingly worse, as well. My problem was difficulty
with three heart valves. So I wrote to Archbishop
McCarrick, asking to go back to the ranks as an
associate.
I certainly enjoyed my years at Our Lady Queen of
Lastly, I’d like to thank the people of the parish for all
their help and assistance in getting things restarted in the
parish. It was our good fortune to get the school rented out
and giving the parish a much-needed source of revenue to
help with the other costs and expenses.
May God continue to bless you all for your goodness
and faithfulness.
God Bless You!

There are many games and puzzles for the children to use

Dear Parish Family,
Sr. Barbara Takacs, M.P.F., will be leaving St. Peter Academy in
June 2011, after serving as the school’s principal for 26 years. I
thank Sr. Barbara for her work in serving the students and their
parents over this time period, and I wish her well in her future
ministry, which is yet to be determined.
I will be working with Fr. Mike Sheehan, Pastor of St. Peter’s, in
setting up a search committee for a new principal. I ask you to
keep the search for a new principal in your prayers. I will keep
you updated on any future developments in this process.
In Christ,

Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD this year.
As they are working so very hard to get rid of the
CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them
a nice, card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world.
Make sure it says “Merry Christmas” on it.
Here’s the address, just don’t be rude or crude:
ACLU
125 Broad Street, 18th Floor
New York, NY 10004
Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations
because they wouldn’t know if any were regular mail
containing contributions. So spend 44 cents and tell the
ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is
no such thing as a “Holiday Tree”. It’s always been called a
CHRISTMAS TREE!

Christmas season with Jesus and Mary!
PRO-LIFE MEDITATION FOR THE ADVENT SEASON
Christmas is the feast not only of the birth of Jesus, but of the
Incarnation--the whole mystery of God becoming human. Jesus
was an embryo, a fetus, an unborn child. Life in the womb,
which was already sacred because it comes from God, is now
made even more holy, and worthy of our every sacrifice. Thanks
to Christmas, there are no strangers, and the protection of
everyone's life, at all stages, is our solemn responsibility.
The year 2010 will mark the 21st annual Night of Prayer for Life
to take place from 9PM Dec. 8th to 1AM Dec. 9th.
Please consider praying in your home the Rosary, Chaplet of
Divine Mercy and the prayer to St Michael. Offer these prayers
for the intention of the end of abortions.
New Year's Resolution. The new Church year began on Nov.
28th. Here is a Spiritual New Year's Resolution that is easy to
make. Join Catholic Clergy (Deacons, Priests, Bishops) as well
as many Catholic Lay people in reciting the Morning and
Evening Prayers from the Liturgy of the Hours also known as
The Divine Office. There is nothing to buy, just go to the web
site: http://divineoffice.org/ where you will find the complete
Morning and Evening Prayers for each day. You can also hear
them recited and if you have iTunes, an iPod or an iPhone, you
can download them as well. It is a simple resolution that can
have a profound effect on you. - The Spiritual Life Committee
For those of you who aren’t aware of them, the ACLU,
(the American Civil Liberties Union) is the one suing
the U.S. Government to take God, Christmas or
anything religious away from us. Help put Christ back
