The Regina Nostra Award
Congratulations to this year’s recipients of the
Regina Nostra Award of the
Diocese of Metuchen. Richard & Joan Latham from our mission parish,St Theresa of the Infant Jesus, in Edison.
The Diocese awards the Regina Nostra every five years to individuals or couples who have been outstanding in their services to their parish or to the Diocese. These members of our parish families were recommended by our late pastor, Father Bob,for having gone above and beyond the usual ‘call to service.’ This is an acknowledgement of thanks for the tremendous amount of time and true dedication they have invested in St Mary and St Theresa. We are quite grateful to these recipients! VOCATIONS
The Vocationists are Coming!
We are very pleased to inform our parishioners
and friends that we will be graced with two priests on
February 14, 2012. They are Fr. Jimson,
who will be the Pastor, and Fr. Leo who will be the curate.

Italian Order known as the Vocationists. We ask
that you keep them in your prayers while we await
their arrival! Where is God calling you? If you have any questions regarding the Priesthood or becoming a nun or a brother , please contact the Office of Vocations at 732-562-2457 - - or email them at vocations@diometuchen.org

From Conception to Birth New Jersey Right to Life News St Mary of Mount Virgin Church remains committed to supporting the Right to Life in every meaningful way we can. Make sure when you vote every November that you do not vote for someone who thinks abortion is a choice! The more recent definition of separation of Church and State has been devised to establish a rather skewed interpretation of "death" as a religious "concept", in so doing, it enables the culture of death to rise in power by minimizing abortion to an idea. As we make vows on Sundays let us ever be aware that knowledge of right and wrong is no longer enough and that we will have to fight to end the misrepresentation of our values and return the law of the land to conformance with the laws of God.
NEWARK, N.J.
Twelve nurses represented by Alliance Defense Fund
attorneys filed suit Monday
against their employer, a hospital run by the University
of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, for requiring them to participate in
abortions. Federal and state law both protect them from being forced to do so.
ADF Legal Counsel Matt Bowman stated "No less than 12 nurses have encountered
threats to their jobs at this hospital ever since a policy change required them
to participate in the abortions regardless of their religious objections. That
is flatly illegal." Federal law prohibits hospitals that receive certain federal
funds from forcing employees to participate in abortions. UMDNJ receives
approximately $60 million in federal funds annually. In
addition, New Jersey law states, "No person shall be required to perform or
assist in the performance of an abortion or sterilization." In September, UMDNJ
initiated a policy change telling Same Day Surgery Unit nurses that they must
assist abortions and repeatedly threatened that they must assist abortions or be
terminated.
When one nurse objected to assisting abortions on the
grounds of her religious beliefs, a supervisor responded that UMDNJ has "no
regard for religious beliefs" of nurses who object to participating in
abortions. Please keep these
brave women in your prayers! webmaster@stmaryofmountvirginchurch.org ©2011 St. Mary of Mount Virgin Church.org Prepared by smarcaurele
