The Annunciation of the Lord
The feast of the Annunciation of the Lord celebrates Angel Gabriel's appearance to the Virgin Mary and his announcement that she had been chosen to be the mother of the savior of the world. Also being celebrated during this feast was Mary's fiat, which means "let it be" in Latin—her willing acceptance of the news.
The Annunciation, which means "the announcement," is observed almost universally throughout Christianity, especially within Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, Catholicism, and Lutheranism.
The date of the Feast is March 25 unless that date falls on a Sunday in Lent, at any time during Holy Week, or at any time in the octave of Easter (from Easter Sunday through Divine Mercy Sunday, the Sunday after Easter). In that case, the celebration is transferred either to the following Monday or to the Monday after Divine Mercy Sunday.
The date of the feast, which is determined by the date of Christmas, is nine months prior to Christmas. This date was set by the seventh century.
The Feast of Annunciation is a solemn feast in Catholicism in honor of the Virgin Mary. Common prayers recited include the "The Hail Mary," and "The Angelus." This feast is also called the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
First Friday Nocturnal Adoration
Volunteers are needed to attend First Friday Nocturnal Adoration every month beginning
April 5th. Please contact Ron Williams at 845-531-8534 to schedule a one
hour visit with the Blessed Sacrament.
What did God give to Moses on Mount Sinai?

1. I am the LORD your God. You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
4. Honor your father and your mother. 5. You shall not kill. 6. You shall not commit adultery. 7. You shall not steal. 8. You shall not bear false witness against
your neighbor. 9. You shall not covet your neighbor’s
wife. 10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s
goods.

Respect Life Society
Spiritual Adoption has come to St. John’s this weekend – Everyone loves the beauty
and innocence of a baby. As an expression of that love, St. John’s announces an adoption program for young and old alike. St. John’s Parish Family has the opportunity to “spiritually adopt” a baby who is newly conceived this weekend. Not all babies make
it to birth. Many parents tragically experience the loss of a child to miscarriage or premature birth. And more than 3,000 babies lose their lives to abortion each day.
These are the babies you are asked to “adopt” simply by praying for him or her each day. You may “adopt” a child individually or as a family by signing up this weekend.
Prayer pledges are available in the Narthex. It is suggested you name the baby for whom you will be praying, which will remind you that, although you may never meet the child in this life, you are truly praying for a specific child who needs your prayers.
Please “spiritually adopt” a baby and share the love for life that God has given you. We have listed the day of birth for the baby as
December 28, the Feast of the Holy Innocents.
