29TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 18, 2020 PG. 3
Just want to thank everyone for their continued compliance with
Coronavirus protocols. Like you all, I am starting to get fatigued
with it as well. However, we have to continue with them to maintain
the freedom we have to worship in our church building. As events in
Brooklyn demonstrate with the shut down of churches , our governor
and mayor have no regard for the essential role religious
institutions play in the life of every day people. We must not give
an excuse to anyone to say that the Church is contributing to
spread the virus by non-compliance. Thanks be to God, I am unaware
of any spread happening as a result of parishes being opened since
we started public mass at the end of June. Let’s pray it stays that
way. Thanks again for your continued patience. As always, we will
be decorating the outside of our parish with Christmas Trees. We
will be having the lighting ceremony on Saturday, December 5, 2020
after the 4:30pm Mass. Now is the chance to donate to have tree
dedicated as you choose. The donation is $175 per tree and the
deadline is November 16. This would be a great “social-distance”
way to celebrate Christmas and support the parish. Thank you! Early
Voting and the General Election will be hosted at OLHC from
Saturday October 24-Sunday November 1st. Those interested in hours
of operation should go to the website:
https://www.vote.nyc/page/early-voting-information I am happy to
announce that the new school managed by AHRC NYC in our building
has started! It’s name is the James P. Murphy Staten Island
Preparatory School. As mentioned before, this school serves
preschoolers and students up to 12 years old with special needs.
Remember also that (when things return to some normalcy) our
religious education will be held in the school in the afternoons
during the week and on weekends as usual . Also, the parish will be
able to use the gym for parish activities and after school hours.
This is the beginning of a beautiful partnership and I am grateful
to the Archdiocese of New York and AHRC in making it possible. Fr.
James Ferreira, Pastor Our Lady Help of Christians Church, Staten
Island

O my Jesus,
forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all
souls to heaven,
especially those most in need of Thy mercy. Hail, Holy
Queen.
Hail! Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and
our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
