WELCOME, Fr. Jovito B. Carongay, Jr.

Bishop DiMarzio has named Fr. Jovito B. Carongay, Jr. as the

next Pastor of St. Nicholas of Tolentine effective June 30, 2020.

Prior to coming here, Fr. Jovito was the Pastor of Church of the

Ascension, Elmhurst. I personally know Fr. Jovito very well. He

is a good friend and a caring priest. I pray that his ministry here

will be a blessing to all. Please welcome him with joy and

open hearts.

Fr. John Francis

Congratulations and Thank You, Fr. Lucon Rigaud

God’s special blessings to you, dear Father Lucon! Thank you

for sharing with us at St. Nick’s the many gifts God has given

you. We had the joy of listening to your grace-filled homilies.

Conversations with you were inspiring and intellectually chal-

lenging. And as you move on to your new ministry as Adminis-

trator of the Parishes of the Holy Innocents and Our Lady of

Refuge, we pray that you will respond with joy and perseverance

to the Holy Spirit’s guidance in serving and loving His peo-

ple. Rest assured of our prayers for you and we ask that you

keep us in yours. ¡Vaya con Dios, Padre!

Fr. John Francis

SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 2020 GOSPEL MATHEW 10:37-42

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mathew

Jesus said to his apostles: “Whoever loves father or

mother more than me is not worthy of me, and who-

ever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy

of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and fol-

low after me is not worthy of me.

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses

his life for my sake will find it.

"Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever re-

ceives me receives the one who sent me.

Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet

will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives

a righteous man because he is a righteous man will re-

ceive a righteous man’s reward.

And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of

these little ones to drink because the little one is a dis-

ciple— amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his

reward.”

DOMINGO, JUNIO 28, 2020 EVANGELIO MATEO 10:37-42 Lectura del santo Evangelio según san Mateo

En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus apóstoles: El que

ama a su padre o a su madre más que a mí, no es

digno de mí; el que ama a su hijo o a su hija más

que a mí, no es digno de mí; y el que no toma su

cruz y me sigue, no es digno de mí.

El que salve su vida la perderá y el que la pierda

por mí, la salvará.

Quien los recibe a ustedes me recibe a mí; y quien

me recibe a mí, recibe al que me ha enviado.

El que recibe a un profeta por ser profeta, recibirá

recompensa de profeta; el que recibe a un justo

por ser justo, recibirá recompensa de justo.

Quien diere, aunque no sea más que un vaso de

agua fría a uno de estos pequeños, por ser

discípulo mío, yo les aseguro que no perderá su

recompensa”.
