| Eucharistic
focus at the core of Christian
commitment
By Andrew Kaczynski
Inspired by the Holy Father’s recent encyclical letter, Ecclesia
De Eucharistia, on the Eucharist and its relationship to the Church,
I felt it timely to write on how the Eucharist and stewardship relate
to one another.
In the encyclical Pope John Paul II writes, “The Church draws
her life from the Eucharist. This truth does not simply express
a daily experience of faith, but recapitulates the heart of the
mystery of the Church…in the Holy Eucharist, through the changing
of bread and wine into the body and blood of the Lord, she rejoices
in this presence with unique intensity.”

Claims
by Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) that the
Archdiocese of Newark and Archbishop John J. Myers have not been
responsive to allegations of abuse and that the Archdiocese has
not acted on the allegations “clearly and maliciously disregard
the facts and history of the Archdiocese’s procedures for
handling such claims,” according to James Goodness, Director
of Communications and Public Relations for the Archdiocese.
Review board
Goodness issued a statement June 6 in response to “erroneous
statements” made by Mark Serrano, a SNAP board member at a

Andre
Randolph |
As
a New York Yankees draft pick, Felician College baseball player Andre
Randolph will have a chance to follow in the footsteps of his father,
Yankees baseball legend Willie Randolph. Among 50 players drafted
to the Yankees this week, Randolph has left for Tampa and expects
to be placed on a minor league team there or on Staten Island.
As a second baseman on Felician College’s baseball team, the
Golden Falcons, Randolph, a senior classman, received Honorable
Mention in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) and
“had a great year,” says head baseball coach Steve Svenson.
He was the team’s lead-off hitter and finished the season
batting 360 for the year with eight doubles, 15 RBIs, 40 hits and
13 stolen bases.
