Eucharistic Adoration Summer Months
Friday June 10th was the last Daytime Eucharistic Adoration for the summer months. The church will still be open for private prayer before our Lord in the tabernacle during the summer. Daytime Adoration will resume September 16th and Nocturnal Adoration will resume October 7th.
Registrations for religious education classes are currently being accepted for new 1st graders and families new to the Parish. A copy of the child’s baptismal certificate is required at the time of regis-tration. Please contact the office at 914-232-4648 or [email protected] or for further information.
We are in need of Catechists for grades 1 through 6 for the 4:30 session. Parents, grandparents, college students and high school juniors and seniors please consider sharing your faith with the students of Saint Marys. Our program depends on the many volunteers who give so selflessly of their time.
Proper Dress in Church During the Summer
In Matthew’s Gospel (22:1-14), Christ tells the Apostles the parable of the king, who hosted a wedding feast. When the king came to meet his guests, he found one who was not dressed proper-ly, that is, he was not wearing a wedding garment. The king had the man removed from the feast be-cause, as he said, “Many are called but few are chosen.”
Each week we are invited to a great feast by a King. He is not an earthly King, but rather, the King of the Universe, the King of Time and Eternity—God Himself. The feast is not an earthly feast of any sort—it is the Eucharist, the center of our Cath-olic faith. Yet many attend this greatest of feasts before our King in shorts, tee shirts, halter tops, cut offs, flip flops, etc. Would we dress this way for a dinner with the President?
For one hour each week let us dress with the respect due our King and his feast.
Monday, July 4th—Independence Day

The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death.
In this memoir, set as deeply in his mind as in the Southeast Asian jungle, a young American soldier embarks
on a journey to a war that, for him, will never be over.
