PASTOR S MESSAGE Register to Vote and Vote in November I will boast. Since I was eligible to vote I have never missed a primary, general election, school board or special election vote. I wish more people could boast the same. Voting is a right and privilege and it makes democracy work. But our voting records locally, statewide and nationally are dismal. I cannot understand how people fail to vote especially since you can request a mail-in ballot now and mail it back. You no longer have to justify why. Every election is important but this one is particularly vital because the leadership of the Senate and House can change. Though we live in a heavily Democratic area, anything is possible. There are so many issues that are percolating in our lives as a result of change of leadership in the White House. How will we resolve the issue of undocumented immigrants? What about the changes in the tax code, which alter the amount of money we can deduct on income taxes from property taxes? How will our charitable deductions be affected? Are we facing the effects of climate change? These are just some of many questions. This Tuesday is the last day to register. These can be downloaded online, completed and mailed in. We also have copies in English and Spanish on the church tables. You may also request your mail in ballot online to complete and mail in. Then the completed ballot has to be mailed in by the day of the election. The postmark is not the issue; it has to be in the county office at 595 Newark Ave., Jersey City. We have many parishioners who were raised outside of N.J. and are not living in Hoboken, Jersey City or North Hudson. If you are living here, change your registration here so you can affect the kind of change you desire. It s nice to vote in Indiana or Massachusetts but your life is here now. I hope to bump into you on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, at the election site. Voting is one of the most powerful actions we can take as U.S. citizens Peace, Fr. Alex Santora PARISHIONER QUESTIONS ON CLERICAL SEX ABUSE Please answer these questions and e-mail to Fr. Alex at padrealex@yahoo.com or write them out and drop them in the collection at the Parish Office, fax to 201-659-5833 or complete online on our website. (www.olghoboken.com) by Monday, October 15, 2018. Replies will not be personally identified. 1. What revelation of clerical sexual abuse do you recall this past summer? 2. How do you feel about this revelation and others? 3. What is the main reason you believe this abuse has occurred? 4. What is one recommendation you would make to our Archbishop to end abuse? 5. What is one change the church needs to implement? 6. What do you see as the future of our church? Name (optional) Age Gender Male Female If you would like to be sent the overall results, please print e-mail address CCD TEACHERS NEEDED Some of our teachers had to stop teaching CCD because of family obligations. Can you help us out? The program is held Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 10:15. The classes are small and the materials are programed for teachers. We can even form a team of people. They do not meet on holiday weekends like today. Please contact Angela Maffiei, the coordinator, if you can help out. We are also in need of substitutes on occasion and welcome any help you can give.

Viernes 7:00 PM en San José Desde Octubre hasta Mayo MENSAJE SEMANAL Esta semana, comparto un mensaje de parte de nuestro pastor, Padre Alex Santora, sobre la importancia de participación en nuestras elecciones: Voy alardear. En todos los años que he sido eleigible para votar, nunca he perdido una elección ni primario, ni general, ni comité escolar, ni elecciones especiales. Deseo que mas gente pueda decir la misma cosa. Votar es un derecho, y Tambien un gran privilegio que hace que nuestra democracia funcione. Pero las cifras de votación en todos los niveles nacional, estatal, y local, son muy pobres, aunque es muy facil para votar solamente tiene que solicitar una votación por correo, y devolverla. Cada elección es importante, pero este año es particularmente crucial, porque el liderazgo del Senado y la Cámara de Representantes puede cambiar. Si, vivimos en una area muy demócrata, pero en años recientes, hemos visto que no podemos dar nada por hecho. Han muchos asuntos que pueden afectar nuestra vida, y la vida de los mas vulnerables entre nosotros, depende del liderazgo de nuestra ciudad, estado, y pais. Como podemos ayudar a inmigrantes indocumentados? Como vamos a enfrentar los efectos de cambio climatico? Como trabajamos por politicas economicas más justas? Estos son solamente pocas entre muchas preguntas. Este martes es el ultimo dia para registrar para las elecciones que vienen en Noviembre. Se puede obtener los formularios de registración en línea, y mandados por correo. Tambien, tenemos copias en inglés y español en las mesas de la iglesia. Tambien, se puede solicitar una votación en línea, obtenerla por correo, y mandarla antes de la dia de elecciones a la oficina del municipio: 595 Newark Avenue, Jersey City. Tenemos muchos feligreses que fueron nacidos fuera de Nueva Jersey, pero si están viviendo aqui en Hudson County, es major si votan aqui, para afectar los cambios que desean. Espero que nos vemos martes, 6 de Noviembre, en el lugar de votación. Votar es una de las acciones mas poderosas que podemos hacer como ciudadanos americanos.
