FIRST FRIDAYS AT OUR LADY OF GRACE PARISH: Mass, Adoration, and Confessions Offered in honor of the Sacred Heart (Morrisontown)
Beginning on Friday, October 2, Our Lady of Grace Parish (Morristown, Hammond, and Rossie) will start observing the First Friday devotions in honor of
the Sacred Heart on every First Friday of the month.
In the late 17th Century, Our Lord appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, and revealed to her in a new way the immense love which He has for all humanity. He laid out the pattern of marking the First Friday of each month with special devotional practices, and applying those graces to those who have fallen away from the faith, for enlightening a darkened world, and for making reparation for wounds to the human family.
All are invited to join in marking the First Friday observance with Mass at 8 a.m. in honor of the Sacred Heart, and with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Confessions offered from 4 to 6 p.m. at St. John's Church in Morristown.
Please come for as long or as little as you are able!

SAFE ENVIRONMENT CORNER
Online Exploitation: What is it and what can we do?
Part II
How grooming happens online: Online grooming rarely begins with obvious red flags. Instead, it often unfolds gradually, using trust and emotional manipulation.
Adults who groom children online may:
- Target children who appear lonely, insecure or eager for attention
- Initially present themselves as peers, mentors or supportive adults
- Offer compliments, gifts, in-game rewards or emotional support
- Ask personal or intimate questions and encourage secrecy
- Gradually introduce sexual topics, jokes or requests
- Normalize boundary-crossing behavior over time
Grooming is intentional and strategic.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
for the September 27 Bulletin
Do dishwasher short cycles really save resources?
The various “eco-modes” found on dishwashers, dryers and washing machines do save resources by making a complex trade-off between energy, resources and time to get the job done most efficiently. (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory). If you want to reduce the impact and cost, delaying your washing and drying until power is cleanest (and cheapest) helps. Ensure machines run with a full load and upgrade aging, inefficient appliances helps. Handwashing still works well!
NEW
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
for the October 4 Bulletin
What are some tips for handwashing to save water?
If you run the tap the entire time you're washing dishes, you're using the most energy-intensive dishwashing technique. Try having two containers for dishwashing. One with hot, soapy water for washing, and the other with clean, cool water for rinsing. Soaking the dishes first in warm, soapy water before washing, and rinsing in second container of cool water can conserve water and energy.

URGE GOVERNOR HOCHUL TO OPT-IN: The Federal Education Freedom Tax Credit Program (FEFTC)
The Federal Education Freedom Tax Credit Program (FEFTC) will:
1. Permit each tax payer to donate up to $1700 of income tax liability to a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO). This means that, instead of going to the federal government, that money can go to a fund for educational purposes. The Diocese of Ogdensburg has designated the Children’s Scholarship Fund as its SGO.
2. In turn, parents can apply to the SGO for financial assistance for educational purposes.
3. Any taxpayer can donate. Any parent can seek financial assistance as long as their income is less than three times the median income of the area in which they live. This will greatly benefit Catholic school families as well as others whose children are in other schools and programs.
4. So that the families can participate in this program, the governor of each state must approve the program for his/her state.
5. Kathy Hochul has not yet approved the program for residents of New York State.
So, please consider doing the following:
- As families prepare their children to return to school, it’s the perfect time to urge Governor Hochul to Opt-in ASAP, by going to:https://www.votervoice.net/NYSCATHOLIC/campaigns/133190/respond;
- Check out the attached Albany Times Union article wherein Dennis Poust of the New York State Catholic Conference responds to NYSUT claims on the FEFTC here: Federal tax credit turns into debate over New York's private schools.pdf;
