SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2014: SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Dear Friends in Christ,

I am happy to report that our parish mission is now set. Fresh from his pastoral work in Haiti, Father Enzo del Bracco, C.P. will preach a mission on the Our Fa-ther during the fourth week of Lent. He will preach at all the Masses on March 29th-30th, and then hold Monday and Tuesday, March 31st-April 1st, in Italian and Wednesday and Thursday, April 2nd-3rd, in English.

The RCIA/Bible Study will not meet this week

(February 18th) because of winter vacation. It will meet next on February 25th at the usual time under the guid-ance of Father Gabriel, who will speak about the Book of Wisdom. The Bible Study will not meet on March 4th because of the Society of St Vincent de Paul’s Mardi Gras party at St Patrick, to which everyone is invited. Please do attend! In March, we cover the Song of Songs (March 11th – Fr Daniel) and selections from the Prophets preparation for Holy Week and Easter.

Thank you for your positive response to the Italian

Catechesis. Please feel free to express your preferences through this weekend. I will make a final decision about the date by next weekend.

The parish council will meet on Monday, February

24th. If you have any concerns you wish us to address, please feel free to contact me by email or letter. The par-ish council advises the pastor on the spiritual needs of the faithful of the parish and helps him to develop initia-tives to respond to said needs. On the agenda already is the financial health of the parish and new initiatives for youth ministry.

Finally, the Canons will be away for a few days this

week. Father Matthew will be available for your spiri-tual needs while we are away having a little rest.

God bless you, Father Elias

Cari Amici in Cristo,

Sono contento di informarvi che la nostra missione parrocchiale è ora fissata. Fresco dal suo lavoro pastorale ad Haiti, Padre Enzo del Bracco, CP predicherà una missione sul Padre Nostro durante la quarta settimana di Quaresima. Egli predicherà in tutte le Messe del 29 e del 30 di Marzo e poi terra la missione in italiano Lunedi, 31 Marzo e Martedì, 1 Aprile, le missione in inglese saranno Mercoledì 2 Aprile e Giovedì, 3 Aprile.

Il RCIA/studio della Bibbia non si riunirà questa

settimana (18 Febbraio) a causa della vacanza invernale. Si riunirà il prossimo 25 Febbraio all'orario normale sotto la guida di Padre Gabriel, che parlerà del libro della Sapienza. Il RCIA/studio della Bibbia non si riunirà il 4 Marzo a causa della festa “Mardi Gras” della Società di San Vincenzo de Paoli a San Patrizio, cui tutti sono invitati. Vi prego di partecipare! Nel mese di Marzo copriamo il Cantico dei Cantici (11 Marzo – P. Daniel) e le selezioni dei profeti, in preparazione per la Settimana Santa e la Pasqua.

Vi ringrazio per la vostra risposta positiva alla

catechesi italiana. Non esitate ad esprimere le vostre preferenze attraverso questa fine settimana. Deciderò definitivamente la data la prossima fine settimana.

Il consiglio parrocchiale si incontrerà Lunedì, 24

Febbraio. Se avete dei dubbi che desiderate prendere in considerazione, non esitate di contattarmi via email o per lettera. Il consiglio parrocchiale consiglia il parroco sulle esigenze spirituali dei fedeli della parrocchia e lo aiuta a sviluppare iniziative per rispondere a tale necessità. All'ordine del giorno già c’è il benessere finanziario della parrocchia e le nuove iniziative per i giovani.

Infine, i Canonici saranno via per un paio di giorni

questa settimana. Padre Matthew sarà disponibile per le vostre esigenze spirituali mentre noi siamo via per avere un po 'di riposo.

Dio Vi Benedica, Padre Elias

Bulletin Reflection

Stewardship involves more than just the gift we bring to the altar. Today’s readings say clearly that it is fidelity to God’s law that makes our offering acceptable.

Living Stewardship

We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who make the conscientious and firm decision to conduct their lives as a follower of Jesus, regardless of the cost.

Let us pray for the intentions of our Holy Father during the month of February…..

Universal Intention: That the Church and society may respect the wisdom and experience of older people. For Evangelization Intention: That priests, religious, and lay people may work together with generosity for evangelization

Holy Name of Jesus Church 690 Woodbury Road Woodbury, NY 11797 (516) 921-2334 Father Carlos Martins of the Companions of the Cross will be here with his very special ministry to teach about these holy objects. He will bring with Him over 150 relics, some as old as 2000 years. Among the treasures will be relics of St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the “Little Flower"), St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Faustina Kowalska. In addition, there will also be present a portion of the veil of Our Lady, as well as one of the largest remaining pieces of the True Cross in the world.

In the Church’s history many miracles and healings have been worked in the presence of relics, and many have been healed through this ministry. Please do not miss this opportunity. You are en-couraged to bring your articles of devotion (such as rosaries, holy cards, etc.) and pictures of ill friends/family members, which you will be able to touch to the reliquaries as a means of intercession.
