Parish Updates
The Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Bishop of Brooklyn, has made the decision to close all
churches and parish offices on March 20th, until further notice. The decision was made to prevent the ever-present possibility of the virus
spreading.
Our churches are remaining closed for the time being in order to help ensure everyone’s safety.
Although there is no public celebration of the Mass, our priests are celebrating the Mass
each day privately. Your intentions are being remembered at Mass and we are praying for
everyone’s health and well-being.
For spiritual guidance please call the parish office to speak with Fr. Jossy.
A Message from Fr. Davy:
Dear friends, Jesus is risen Alleluia! I wish you all a peaceful and blessed Easter! We probably may not be in high spirit this year to celebrate Easter. As the whole world is going through such a critical situation due to the spread of corona virus. We join all who are infected and thousands who lost their near and dear ones. Let the presence of the risen Lord be with them! In fact thousands of people were preparing to receive the sacraments of initiation during the Easter vigil ceremony. I am sure though we are disappointed, as soon as possible, probably on Pentecost Sunday they will be able to receive the sacraments. The Holy Week is concluded with the celebration of Easter. I am sure you might have spiritually joined and watched on television the Easter Vigil ceremony of blessing of fire, Easter candle and water. Let the Easter this year help us to be the messengers of peace. After the resurrection, when Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene she went in haste to inform the disciples. When the disciples heard about it Peter and John went running to the tomb to see the risen Lord. Yes, resurrection of Jesus wipes away our tears and fills us with joy and enthusiasm. Soon filled with the Holy Spirit they started preaching the risen Lord. Our mission today also is the same. When Jesus appeared to the disciples and Mary he always greeted them, “peace be with you”. Of course we need peace, especially during this time of fear, stress and anxieties. The disciples, after the crucifixion of Jesus were afraid. They stayed in their closed room. Many of us do the same. We are not afraid of people or wild animals but a virus that can’t be seen by our naked eyes. The gifts of the Holy Spirit will empower us and remove the fear from us. When we get rid of fear we will be filled with courage and peace. Let us be the messengers of peace. Let the peace from me flow to others. May the peace of the risen be with you, Alleluia! Fr. Kavungal Davy, CMI Pastor
Mensaje del Padre Davy, Queridos amigos, ¡Jesús ha resucitado Aleluya! ¡Les deseo a todos una Pascua pacífica y bendita! Probablemen-te no este estmos de animo para celebrar la Pascua. Como el mundo entero está pasando por una situación tan crítica debido a la propagación del virus corona. Nos unimos a todos los que están infectados y a miles de personas que perdieron a sus seres queridos. ¡Que la presencia del Señor resucitado esté con ellos! De hecho, miles de personas se preparaban para recibir los sacramentos de la iniciación durante la ceremonia de la vigilia pascual. Estoy seguro de que, aunque estamos decepciona-dos, tan pronto como sea posible, probablemente el domingo de Pentecostés podrán recibir los sacramentos. La Semana Santa concluye con la celebración de la Pascua. Estoy seguro de que podrían haberse unido espiritualmente y visto por televisión la ceremonia de la Vigilia Pascual de bendición de fuego, vela de Pascua y agua. Que la Pascua de este año nos ayude a ser los mensajeros de la paz. Después de la resurrección, cuando Jesús se apareció a María Magdalena fue a toda prisa a informar a los discípulos. Cuando los discípulos se enteraron de ello, Pedro y Juan corrió a la tumba para ver al Señor resucitado. Sí, la resurrección de Jesús borra nuestras lágrimas y nos llena de alegría y entusiasmo. Pronto se llenaron del Espíritu Santo, comenzaron a predicar al Señor resucitado. Nuestra misión de hoy también es la misma. Cuando Jesús se apareció a los discípulos y a María siempre los saludó, "la paz esté con vosotros". Por supuesto que necesitamos paz, especialmente durante este tiempo de miedo, estrés y ansiedades. Los discípulos, después de la crucifixión de Jesús tuvieron miedo. Se que-daron en su habitación cerrada. Muchos de nosotros hacemos lo mismo. No tenemos miedo de las personas o los animales salvajes, sino un virus que no puede ser visto por nuestros ojos desnudos. Los dones del Espíritu Santo nos empoderarán y nos quitarán el miedo. Cuando nos des hagamos del miedo estaremos llenos de valor y paz. Seamos los mensajeros de la paz. Que la paz de mí fluya a los demás. ¡Que la paz de los resucitados esté contigo, Alleluia! Padre Kavungal Davy, CMI Pastor

Easter Prayer
Lord we lift our hearts to you. As the dawn breaks, may we carry the unity we share into every moment knowing that
we are one with the risen Christ.
Lord, we lift our eyes to you. As the sun-rises, may this moment stay with us, re-minding us to look for the beautiful co-
lours of promise in your word.
Lord, we lift our prayers to you. As the dew air falls, may we breathe this mor-ning in and know that like the earth, you sustain us, keep us and work within us
always.
And so, we lift our voices to you. We ce-lebrate the greatest day in history, when Jesus rose from death, defeated dark-ness and bathed the world in stunning resurrection light. May we ever live to
praise you!
Amen.
