Dear Parishioners,
Summer is officially over and we begin another autumn. Some of us have more energy
as the weather cools down and it’s usually the time when most parish groups and programs
get back into full swing.
We had the opening of the school year mass on Friday, September 13, and we opened
our Religious Education Program last Sunday. We have new catechists as well as seasoned
ones and I am very grateful for everyone’s dedication.
Speaking of dedication, I want to thank Richard Montgomery and Mary Louise and
Richard Martelli who have been ushers at the Saturday vigil mass for well over thirty years.
They are going into retirement from being ushers but, if present, will be happy to assist with
the collections.
Their dedication was similar to the postmen of old - neither snow, rain or hail kept
them from their posts. In your name and for my part, I want to thank them for their years of
service and dependability.
So, if you are at the 5:00pm mass, the celebrant may have to ask you to pass the
basket.
Please pray for good weather for this coming Friday, so our golfers can enjoy their
game. The Rhapsody Players promise to offer us a pleasant evening of entertainment on
Saturday, October 5th in our gym and “Why Catholic” will resume their weekly meetings
next week.
If you are doing any checking up on your closets and drawers, please know that the St.
Vincent de Paul truck will accept clean usable clothing on Sunday, October 27, from
9:00am through 12:00pm. You have always been very generous.
October 6th will be “Right to Life Sunday”. In the past, members of the Life Center of
New York have been present to hand out baby bottles for loose change and any other
financial donations. They find themselves short of volunteers at present so I will ask the
Candidates for Confirmation to assist in this
worthy cause.
As you can see, summer is over.
Let’s pray for each other,
Msgr. Kevin B. Noone
