Sequences The sequences, as a part of the Mass, began as early Christian Latin hymns. These texts, in poetic form, were sung immediately preceding the proclamation of the Gospel. A proliferation of the writing of sequences occurred during the Middle Ages. However, following the end of that age, after the Council of Trent with the promulgation of the Missal of Pope Pius V (otherwise known as the traditional Latin missal), all but 4 sequences were removed. The sequences for Easter, Pentecost, Corpus Christi, and All Souls remained. Today, only the Easter and Pentecost sequences are required to be sung, all others being optional. As the sequences were written in poetic meters and composed in a hymn-like manner, many survive to this day in other forms. The Stabat Mater, which is often used during the Stations of the Cross, is a sequence and is still optional on the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows (September 15). The Pange Lingua, sung on Holy Thursday and during some Eucharistic processions began as a sequence. Adeste Fidelis, or O Come, All Ye Faithful, while not a sequence, was written in the same style and time period.

To the parents of our Confirmandi: We have received notification that His Excellency, The Most Reverend Bishop of Trenton, will confer the Sacrament of Confirmation here at the Parish of St. Mary on Friday, October 19, at 4 pm. More specific information will be conveyed once that day draws near. You have already been notified about the Confirmation interviews that will take place next month. Prior to Confirmation, there will also be a Confirmation retreat, and at least one rehearsal for the ceremony. Dates for those events will be communicated soon. Jim Bridges, Ph.D. Pastoral Coordinator of Religious Education & Faith Formation
To all the 8th grade Confirmation candidates: Confirmation interviews will be done according to the following schedule their interviews: Students with last names beginning in A-E on Sunday, June 3, between 1:30 and 3:30 pm. Students with last names beginning in F-K on Sunday, June 10, between 1:30 and 3:30 pm. Students with last names beginning in L-Z on Monday, June 11, between 6 and 8 pm.

Quo vadis… My Dear Parishioners: Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Pentecost. The Spirit is given for the sake of mission, but the Spirit’s indwelling affects each of us personally, too. Our baptism-Pentecost requires that each of us die to ourselves and to anything that is evidence of our own sinfulness (second reading: “immorality, impurity, lust, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like”). When we choose to die to ourselves we experience the new life that comes in the Spirit: “live, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, gentleness, self-control.” When the two lists are laid out side by side like this the choice seems rather easy and obvious: live in the Spirit so as to have the fruit of the Spirit. In our everyday lives the choice isn’t always so clear and easy. Our temptations to “works of the flesh” might be more subtle; for example, letting ourselves get too tired to respond charitably, choosing to sit watching TV rather than really talking with one’s spouse or children, getting by on our tasks rather than doing the best we can. The dying is most often in the little things! Come, Holy Spirit! The Solemnity concludes the Liturgical Season of Easter. We begin the Liturgical Season of Ordinary Time on Monday. The coming Sundays are Solemnities within Ordinary Time, Trinity Sunday and then Corpus Christi. We will return to the Mass Setting from the Roman Missal throughout the Summer months. The liturgical color is Green during
Ordinary Time and the decorations are simplified. During the Month of June, the Church observes the Feast Day of Saint Anthony of Padua, The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, The Feast of Saint John the Baptist, and the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul. Congratulations and THANK YOU to all those who have participated in the 2018 Easter Collection. Your faithful deliberate Stewardship of Treasure enables our parish to continue providing the very best for our parishioners and all those whom we serve. We have listed an overview of the gifts received this year as well as some facts from previous years. Next Monday is the civic holiday in which we honor those who have given their lives in maintaining the freedom that we enjoy. Memorial Day is an opportunity for us to come and pray for all our men and women in uniform, especially those who have died. Mass will be celebrated at 9:00 am. Come and begin your holiday observance by receiving Holy Communion and praying for all those who have given their lives for the freedom we enjoy. Also, there is a parade in Colts Neck along Heyers Mills Road. Come and be a part of this great local tradition. Our 9th Annual Golf Outing is quickly approaching. Please consider participating and invite some friends to form a foursome. Information is posted online and registration may be completed online for your convenience. Have a great week. Let us remember one another in prayer. Happy Sunday. Peace! Father Jeff

The needs of our parishes and diocese exist year round. Our Appeal emphasizes gifts over a monthly period of time because it allows individuals and families the opportunity to consider a larger commitment – and more significant impact – than when making a onetime contribution. Experience demonstrates that donors who pledge are able to consider gifts significantly larger than those who make onetime gifts. The earlier a gift is made, the more time the donor has to fulfill his/her pledge. Billing extends to December 31, 2018.
