PARISH EVENTS
STEWARDSHIP: Called to be Courageous: Stewardship a
Way of Life; Josh. 1:9 “Be strong and of good courage: for the
Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Once we truly trust
in God, we will have the courage to take risks. We will have the
courage to turn our lives over to God. We will have the courage to
stand up for our beliefs, no matter the opposition or unpopularity
of our stance. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”
“Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, who inspires and perfects our
faith.” Hebrews 12:2
The key to balancing the everyday demands made on us with the limited
amounts of time, talent and treasure we possess is PRIORITY.
When we accept Jesus’ priority, we do not squander our gifts.
Our Stewardship of Treasure for 8/8/10
amounted to $5,988.00 / Our Children’s Collection = $14.00
Repairs & Maintenance = $2,438.00
Please remember to place Our Lady Queen of Peace
Parish in your Will. Those who generously did this in the
past have helped us to stay out of a heavy debt.

August 15, 2010
Dear Parish Family,
Today is the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady. Following the
12 noon Mass today, we will have our 2nd annual Rosary
Procession. The procession will go around the grounds of the
parish (weather permitting, of course) and conclude in the
auditorium, where the final blessing will take place.
Everyone is invited to stay for a while for some coffee, light
refreshments, and fellowship. Around 2 PM we will have the
drawings of our annual mega raffle. The proceeds will help to
defray the cost of our new parking lot, which was completed last
week. The balance will be paid off over the next 2 ½ years
through your generosity to our monthly maintenance and repairs
collection. If you are able to help contribute towards the cost of
the parking lot, please let me know. All donations to the parking
lot are greatly appreciated.
I thank all who purchased raffle tickets over the past few months
and invite those who have yet to do so to please stop in the
vestibule after Mass or in the auditorium after the procession.
A BIG thank you goes out to everyone who helped to sell the
tickets, not only after the Masses, but also to family and friends.
I thank Justine Garcia and the Hospitality committee of the
Rosary Society for providing the light refreshments that will be
enjoyed by all.
It is when we work together as one family that we can
accomplish great things for the greater glory of God and His
Church.
Thank you to the Our Lady Queen of Peace Knights of
Columbus Council for generously sponsoring a recent outing to
the Montclair Jackals game. Your generosity treated our altar
servers, their families, and the clergy of the parish to a fun night
out. Thank you to Deacon Joe and Ken Mooney for your help in
organizing the event, which was enjoyed by all. To become a
Knight, please call 201-845-9888 for more information.
Thank you for your Stewardship of Time, Talent, and Treasure
and for all that you do for our parish.
Love,
Fr. Larry

MASS INTENTIONS / INFORMATION
St. Stephen the Great
Feast day: August 16 / Patron of Hungary, 1038
St. Stephen the Great (977-1038), was the son of the Magyar
chieftain Geza, Stephen succeeded him as leader in 997. Already
raised a Christian, in 996 he wed the daughter of Duke Henry II of
Bavaria and devoted much of his reign to the promotion of the
Christian faith. He gave his patronage to Church leaders, helped
build churches, and was a proponent of the rights of the Holy See.
Stephen also crushed the pagan counter reaction to Christianity,
forcibly converting the so-called Black Hungarians after their failed
rebellion. In recognition of his efforts, Stephen was anointed king of
Hungary in 1000, receiving the cross and crown from Pope
Sylvester II. The remainder of his reign was taken up with the
consolidation of the Christian hold on the region. His crown and
regalia became beloved symbols of the Hungarian nation, and
Stephen was venerated as the ideal Christian king. Canonized in
1083 by Pope St. Gregory VII, he became the patron saint of
Hungary.

– 2 Samuel 23:4
Dear Parish Family,
How do you begin your day? Does it involve waking up
the kids, eating breakfast, driving to school or work?
During these daily events are we rushing to make it to our
destination faster, experiencing much frustration in the
interim?
When I was working full-time and also going to school full-
time, a friend at work pulled me to the side and said
“suave,” which is Spanish for “smooth.” When I asked him
what he meant by that, he explained that he would teach
members of his Church to practice prayer and the result
would be “suave,” as God is always listening and there for
guidance.
So the next time you begin your day a littler later than
planned or are stuck behind that ‘Sunday Driver’ while you
are rushing to work, think ‘suave’ and begin your day with
prayer and remember that through prayer all things are
possible. Thank you.
Live Jesus In Our Hearts Forever.
