tures, rooted in God’s Word and the Eucharist, offering loving service.
Week Ending: September 13, 2015 Total Regular Collection: $10,010.00 Last year same weekend: $ 9,127.00 Catholic University of America: $ 2,510.00 Thank you for your continued support.
“Wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle, willing to yield.” Praying for wisdom will help you yield to Christ’s choice of you, should He extend to you
the gift of a vocation to the consecrated life or priesthood. If you are discerning your vocation, call the Vocation Office
Moses refuses to be jealous for the prophetic gifts that are his.
Psalm 19:8, 10, 12-13, 14
The true servant of God is always seeking new ways to improve and perfect.
James 5:1-6
The evangelist is pointblank in accusing his assembly of injustice.
Mark 9:38-43, 45, 47-48
Jesus describes the relative importance of the mortal and the immortal life.
We would like to thank our Blood Donors and Vol-unteers. On September 13, 2015, you helped save at least 3 lives.
31 people registered, 19 regular, 6 alyx (which are doubled) to make a total of 31 pints collected and 12 other donors were deferred. Thank you to all for helping to SAVE LIVES… Please visit the New York Blood Center website at www.nybloodcenter.org if you would like to help us save lives.
From the Pastor’s Desk… Welcome! Pope Francis We anticipate and will be delighted to see our Holy Father, Pope Francis walking on the streets of New York and hearing his inspirational mes-sage of Mercy and love. For many of us it is going to be a life-changing event. As we prepare ourselves to welcome Pope Francis in our midst, we pray that Almighty God keep him safe during his visit to the United States, so that he may have a joyful and successful journey, giving en-couragement and hope to us Catholics, to those of all faith, to those who have strayed from faith and to all in the world family. Catechetical Sunday This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday, today, Sep-tember 20, 2015, and will focus on the theme “Safeguarding the Dig-nity of Every Human Person.” Those whom the community has des-ignated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry at the 10:45 am Mass. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith. Here at St. Nick’s I am blessed with wonderful priests, sisters, teachers, catechists, instructors and volunteers who are committed to serve this parish family with their teaching and good example. Let us use the com-ing year to reflect on how the Bible and in particular the Ten Com-mandments and the Beatitudes, provide the spiritual and moral founda-tions for our Christian life. I am grateful to The Light of Christ Prayer Community for conduct-ing a Dinner and Dance for World Peace. It was a nice way of remem-bering all the victims of 9/11 and praying for them. As we celebrate our Parish Feast, today, Sunday September 20th at 12:00 pm Mass, we pray that following the example of St. Nicholas of Tolentine, our Patron Saint, our parishioners may continue to grow in faith, love and service of God and one another. Happy Feast Day, Fr. John Francis
