lives. If, when we die, we fall short in this regard,

God, in His mercy, has given us the opportunity to

purify our souls in Purgatory.

With regard to Purgatory, we should always pray

and have Masses said for our family and friends who

have died, especially during this month of the Holy

Souls. Although we like to think that everyone we

know who has died is in heaven, we show them no

charity if we don’t pray for them. Our Lord told St.

Faustina (Divine Mercy) when her guardian angel

brought her to Purgatory to witness the suffering of

souls, “My mercy does not want this, but justice

demands it.” If we pray for the souls in purgatory

we will receive not only their gratitude but their

prayers for us here as we fight to keep our faith.

In joyful union with the suffering of Jesus and His

Sorrowful Mother,

Fr. Frank Samoylo

FOOD COLLECTION

Donations of non-perishable food items will be

collected at next week’s Masses. Please place your

November 5 was a joyous and memorable

celebration of the Mass in honor of St. Lorenzo and

and the St. Lorenzo choir were very talented and

energetic during the celebration. I wish to thank Fr.

Frank, Msgr. Keenan, Fr. Anthony, and the St.

Columbanus community for their prayers and

support. I would also like to thank Bobby and

Cherry Miraflores, Mrs. Elvira Mendoza, and my

sons, William, Ian, and David, for their great effort

in organizing the celebration.

God Bless Always,

Deacon Chris

WIDOWS AND WIDOWERS CLUB

Support Club will meet Tuesday, November 15th at

7:00 pm. For information call 845-628-2016.

When we think of the Catholic Church and the

Holy Father, often called the Bishop of Rome, we

often think of St. Peter’s Basilica. Indeed all the pa-

pal audiences and important Masses are celebrated

there.

However, as Bishop of the Diocese of Rome, the

Pope’s parish church is not St. Peter’s but The Basil-

ica of St. John Lateran (built on land owned by the

Laterani family). It was dedicated by Pope Sylvester

I, on November 9, 324. The popes lived there from

the fourth century until the latter part of the 14th cen-

tury when, at this time, the papacy was now not only

dependent upon the protection of France, but was

also entirely at its mercy. This was seen in the utter

disregard shown by the king, Philip the Fair, in his

attitude toward Boniface VIII and his successors.

Clement V, a native of Southern France, did not ven-

ture to go to Italy after his election in 1305, but had

himself crowned at Lyons, and after 1309 resided at

Avignon, which now remained the residence of the

popes until 1376.

Thanks to the efforts of St. Catherine of Siena, the

papacy was restored to Rome and so the Church still

celebrates the dedication on November 9 of St. John

Lateran. St. John’s is known as “omnium ecclesia-

rum Urbis et Orbis mater et caput.” (“mother and

head of all churches of Rome and the world.”)

Originally dedicated to the Savior, the church is now

dedicated to St. John the Baptist.

The history of St. John’s Basilica and the papacy

should remind us of our Lord’s words to St. Peter in

Matthew 16:18, “And I say to thee: That thou art Pe-

ter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and

the gates of hell shall not42prevail against it.” Of

course this does not mean the gates of hell will not

try to prevail against the church, as we can see from

the hostile political, social, and cultural climate sur-

rounding us.

In our battle against the devil, we need to fortify

our minds with a deep, enquiring knowledge of our

faith and nourish our souls with the grace of the sac-

raments, especially the Eucharist, to do the will of

God in everything we do at every moment of our
