St. Vincent de Paul Society
The St. Vincent de Paul Society has consistently emphasized both the internal movement of faith and the external action of charity. In our Holy Child conference we help at St. Edward’s Food Pantry, help the needy of the parish as well as others who require our assistance. We bring the Eucharist to residents in Eger and Seaview Nursing Homes, have a St. Patrick’s party in Seaview, work on the Christmas Giving Tree, a coat drive, provide Thanksgiving and Easter baskets and go and do whatever is needed to accomplish our goal of service. We also were able to provide transportation for children to attend camp one week during the summer.
We are always open to new members who would like to assist us. Please contact the Rectory at (718) 356-5890 and leave a message for Peg Corney.

Prayer Resources in the Absence of Mass
As was announced, all Masses in the Archdiocese of New York will be canceled for the time being due to continued concern surrounding the coronavirus, and at the advice of medical experts.
In light of these developments, members of the faithful may wish to observe Sunday as a day of prayer in the following ways:
1. Mass will be celebrated in Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, and will be available on many cable systems via the Catholic Faith Network and its website, livestreamed on the Saint Patrick’s Cathedral website, and broadcast on radio on The Catholic Channel of Sirius XM (Channel 129).
2. Act of Spiritual Communion: It has long been a Catholic understanding that when circumstances prevent one from receiving Holy Communion, it is possible to make an Act of Spiritual Communion, which is a source of grace. Spiritual Communion is an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament and lovingly embrace him at a time or in circumstances when one cannot receive Him in sacramental Communion. The most common reason for making an Act of Spiritual Communion is when a person cannot attend Mass. Acts of Spiritual Communion increase our desire to receive sacramental Communion and help us avoid the sins that would make us unable to receive Holy Communion worthily.
Prayer for Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there
And unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
3. Lastly, let us keep each other and our world in prayer during these challenging times.
