Greg Tobin
With prayer and a blessing by Most Rev. John J. Myers,
Archbishop of Newark, the Cathedral Regional Cancer Center officially
opened its doors Feb. 18. Archbishop Myers and other state and local
dignitaries attended the opening ceremony and reception at the 15,000-square
foot facility.
In his remarks, the Archbishop reminded the audience that Jesus
Himself was a healer and the exemplar of the commandment to love
the human person. He praised the new center in Newark as an important
and “holy” place, where patients can be cured and comforted.

| Opening
the door to personal commitment
By Andrew Kaczynski
One of the most frequently asked questions about convincing people
to adopt stewardship as a way of life is: “How can we get
people interested in actually volunteering their time and talent?”
A Stewardship Fair may be the answer for your parish—an event
at which each parish organization and ministry sets up a booth or
table to inform parishioners what it is all about. A fair puts potential
volunteers in face-to-face communication with people who have experience
with volunteer activities at the parish.

The
life and times of your Catholic newspaper
By Greg Tobin
As the staff of The Catholic Advocate pulled together this edition
of the newspaper over the past week, I had reason to reflect upon
just how much real news there is in this newspaper.
There is also plenty of news about the Church in our Archdiocese
and around the world that simply doesn’t make it into print,
or that gets only brief space in our pages.
First, the abundance of “real news.” We
are now in the season of Lent. In addition to announcing the Archdiocesan
Lenten regulations (in the Feb. 4 issue of the paper), the Advocate
announces retreats and Ash Wednesday services, parish and university
events galore, as well as breaking stories, local, national and international
in scope.

Yankee
captain blasts an academic home run

Derek
Jeter |
New York Yankee star Derek Jeter and his family have made a commitment
to Queen of Peace High School, North Arlington, that is surely a grand
slam. A
little over four years ago, the Jeter family, through Derek’s
Turn 2 Foundation, started the Connors/Jeter Scholarship Fund.
The
fund was started to help exceptional, well-rounded students and
to memorialize the late, great Sonny Connors. A total of ten different
Queen of Peace students have received scholarships from the fund.

Awards
presented to Archdiocesan scouts, leaders

Boy
Scouts listen intently to the Archbishop. |
The virtues fostered through commitment to Boy Scouting were cited
by Archbishop John J. Myers at the annual Catholic Scouting Awards
Sunday service.
Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, their adult leaders and family members filled
the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Newark, earlier this
month for presentation by the Archbishop of the Ad Altare Dei Award,
Pope Pius XII Award, Father Junipero Serra Award, Light of Christ
Award, Parvuli Dei Award, Pope Paul VI National Unit Award, Pope
John XXIII Award, the Order of the Golden Bow Award and, new this
year, the Order of the Sword of Saint George Award.
Archbishop
Myers made special mention of scouting’s commitment to the
virtuous life. The Archdiocese, he told the scouts, is “so
proud of you and grateful to those assisting you.”
