  • “And Stephen Was Heard…” Father Joe Mancini
    “And Stephen Was Heard…” A Quarterly Newsletter Fall, 2020 Volume 1, Issue 1 of Saint Stephen’s Roman Catholic Church in Kearny, New Jersey FROM OUR PASTOR... My dear parishioners and friends of Saint Stephen’s parish, In the fall of 2013, our parish newsletter, “And Stephen Was Heard” was initiated as a part of Pope Benedict XVI’s call for Catholics to enter into a “New Evangelization”. The Pope was calling on all baptized Catholics to commit themselves to a better and more disciplined approach to speaking about and teaching the Catholic Faith. For different reasons, our newsletter lasted only a few issues. That doesn’t mean it was a failure, however. Other resources and other concerns began to demand more of our staff’s time and en- ergy. INSIDE THIS ISSUE Now, we are pleased to bring back the parish newsletter with two The Church Re-Opens! ...... 2 goals in mind: firstly, to resume the call-to-arms of Pope Bene- Parish Census Update ........ 2 dict of participating in the New Evangelization. Secondly, to ex- Confirmation ...................... 3 plore other opportunities for enhanced communication with our First Communions ............. 4 parishioners, our friends and the larger community. All Souls Day ...................... 5 Thank you Fr Juan! ........... 8 I hope that you will find something of interest in this issue and in SPECIAL POINTS OF those to come. Our number one priority must be to always keep INTEREST Jesus Christ at the center of our lives. By what we do and what Sacraments celebrated we say, we can accomplish this goal in various and beautiful under different circum- ways.

  • 11-24 the Vietnamese Martyrs
    “You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved” (Mt 10:22). Between the 17th and 19th centuries in Vietnam 130,000 Christians were martyred. Today we honor 117 of those martyrs including Saint Andrew Dung-Lac and his companion martyrs. There were 37 Vietnamese priests, one seminarian, 10 Dominican tertiaries, and 48 other lay Vietnamese. In addition to the many sons and daughters of Vietnam, there were missionary priests and bishops from Spain and France. Whether we are speaking of Vietnam or the United Sates, there is always a dark tendency to be suspicious of foreigners, to push them away, to treat them as less than human. In 1832, the Vietnamese Emperor banned all foreign missionaries. The Vietnamese were asked to deny their faith by trampling crucifixes. The faithful endured one wave of persecution after another. Andrew Dung-Lac came from poverty. His parents were not Christian, and yet they saw truth, beauty and goodness in the Christian missionaries and entrusted their child to a catechist who helped to form him into strong Christian. He became a priest in 1823 and served as parish priest and missionary in numerous places within Vietnam. Here in America, we take a collection to provide for the needs of the church. On more than one occasion, the faithful took up a collection to pay ransom for their priest to keep him out of prison. Fr Andrew was not entirely grateful. He was willing to die for his faith and stated, “We who continually hide ourselves spend money to escape the persecutors! It would be much better to let ourselves be arrested and die.” December 21, 1839, he was granted his wish.

Polycarp Duc Thuan, CMC, the pastor of the parish, said the new church at the corners of Collins Street and Mayfield Road will seat 2,000 persons, making the church the largest Vietnamese Catholic Church in the United States.

Vann Monday announced well-deserved honors bestowed by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI to 16 distinguished members of the Diocese. The honors were announced during a special luncheon ceremony at the Catholic Center. The Papal honors will be conferred by Bishop Vann during Vesper Services with Conferral of Pontifical Honors on Tuesday, December 13 at St. Patrick Cathedral. “The Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth is blessed to have many men and women who are dedicated to their Catholic faith, to their communities and to their families,” Bishop Vann said. “Because of their exemplary apostolic work and ministry, Pope Benedict has conferred these long-standing honors to members of our Diocese. These individuals are tireless workers in the vineyard of the local Church who live out their Catholic faith, and, as St. Paul says in Thessalonians, “work quietly.” The Papal honors announced by Bishop Vann have been the practice of the Holy See for many years and are among some of the important recognitions that can be conferred upon laity and Religious.

According to community leaders and regular attendees, the number of visitors to the annual event has grown dramatically since Our Lady of Lavang became the patron saint of Vietnamese Catholics in Germany in 2013. Unlike other representations of the Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Lavang is in the image of a Vietnamese woman wearing áodài (Vietnamese traditional costume) and holding baby Jesus. For nearly 100 years, she was represented as a European woman, modeled after Our Lady of Victories in Paris (Figure 4.1). However, in the mid-1990s, Vietnamese Catholics in the United States visually transformed Our Lady of Lavang into their ethnic image and received validation from the Catholic Church in their ancestral land, Vietnam.
