TWENTY EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ~ OCTOBER 14, 2018 A SPECIAL MEMORY OF ONE OF OUR NEWEST SAINTS: Archbishop Oscar Romero By Deacon George Montalvo

We were a group of high school to Fr. Grande’s funeral Mass as part of the teenagers who had requested a meeting with school outreach.

In 1970 he was appointed auxiliary bishop and then on February 22, 1977 he became Archbishop of San Salvador. It was a violent time when people from the countryside and poor people throughout the country were being killed for selfish interests of money and power. From the beginning of his ministry as an auxiliary bishop, Oscar Romero had seen the extremely hard living conditions of the poor in San Salvador and around the country. He visited the slum areas of the city, talking Six New Saints to people, celebrating the sacraments with them, and Pope Paul VI and Archbishop Oscar Romero (shown together listening to their hopes and sufferings. above) were canonized Oct. 14, 2018 along with Francesco He was deeply affected by the death of one of his Spinelli, diocesan priest, founder of the Institute of the Sisters friends, Fr.

SAINT JOSEPH CHURCH ORADELL/NEW MILFORD, NJ Pope Paul VI Paul VI, who reigned from 1963 to 1978, led the Catholic Church through the closing of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) and the turbulent period that followed, overseeing significant transitions in liturgy, seminary formation, theological study, and many other areas of ecclesiastical life. Paul VI also launched the Synod of Bishops in 1965, as an attempt to broaden the involvement of bishops from around the world in the governance of the Church. The next session is scheduled for in October, devoted to themes of youth and vocations. He’s best known for his controversial 1968 encyclical letter Humanae Vitae, which reaffirmed the Church’s traditional opposition to artificial birth control. 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the encyclical, with major events planned in Rome and around the world to ponder its legacy.
