Decisions
reached on two court cases involving Newark priests
Rev. Eugene Heyndricks, pastor of St. John Nepomucene, Guttenberg,
pleaded guilty in Montreal criminal court on Wednesday, April
9 to one count of soliciting a minor for sex. The charge stemmed
from the July 18, 2002 arrest of Fr. Heyndricks and Rev. William
Giblin, a retired priest of the Archdiocese and the former headmaster
of Seton Hall Preparatory School, by Montreal City police during
a sting operation to curb prostitution. Sentencing arguments for
Father. Heyndricks are set for May 1 in Montreal. Charges against
Father. Giblin were withdrawn for lack of sufficient evidence.
Both priests have been on voluntary leave from ministry since
the Archdiocese received news of the arrests last July.
On
Friday, April 11, Rev. Michael Fugee, parochial vicar of St. Elizabeth
of Hungary, Wyckoff, was convicted in Superior Court of New Jersey,
Hackensack, of one count of aggravated criminal sexual contact,
but acquitted of a second charge of endangering the welfare of
a minor. Fr. Fugee had been on voluntary leave from ministry since
the Archdiocese received word of his arrest on these charges in
March 2001.

| A
living example of Stewardship in Kearny
By Steven G. Sears
It’s a cold Tuesday morning as John Sarnas and I approach
the huge, wooden front doors of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish Church
in Kearny. We’re both seeking to escape the below freezing
temperatures, desiring the warmth of the building and, of course,
God’s embrace.
We enter. It feels just like a Sunday morning when he opens the
church and prepares for that day’s Masses. “Just about
here,” Sarnas, a future Permanent Deacon, says while pointing
at the last set of pews, “is where I genuflect.”
