Message from Father Robert: This Thanksgiving will be a difficult one for many families because there is going to be a significant empty seat, and in some cases seats. For others it is going to difficult because they may have to say to their family “I cannot be there this year” because certain states have imposed new restrictions may have to quarantine upon return, or due to an overabundance of caution decide to stay home for their health and wellbeing. Even in this situation we still give thanks to God. St. Paul says “Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thess. 5:16-18). The Will of God is our salvation and come to the knowledge of truth so as not to lose hope or fall into discouragement. One of the things that I was amazed to find out was that many people here come to Mass on Thanksgiving. Due to the twenty-five percent capacity rule the regular morning schedule will be in effect: 8:00 a.m. Mass in Italian and 9:00 a.m. in English. There will be adoration and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament following Mass until 11:00 a.m. The church will close immediately after Benediction and there will be no Mass at 7:00 p.m. Also the rectory office will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday. Unfortunately, we received sad news this week as we learned of the death of Fr. John Conti who served here for many years as parochial vicar. He died at the age of 99 and at his age did not slow down; if he was not in New York, he was either in Italy or Australia visiting family or serving the people of God to the best of his ability. We will have a Mass for him on Wednesday November 25th, 7:00 p.m., please remember him in your prayers. In addition, please remember in your prayers the sick and elderly who may be homebound this Thanksgiving as well as college students in dorms who may not be able to go home if they are quarantined. On behalf of Fr. Urbano, Msgr. Becker, Deacon Santos, and myself: a happy Thanksgiving to you and your families. God bless.


Mensaje del Padre Robert: Este Día de Acción de Gracias será difícil para muchas familias porque va a haber un asiento vacío significativo, y en algunos casos asientos. Para otros va a ser difícil porque pueden tener que decir a su familia "no puedo estar allí este año" porque algunos estados han impuesto nuevas restricciones pueden tener que poner en cuarentena al regresar, o debido a una sobreabundancia de precaución deciden quedarse en casa para su salud y bienestar. Incluso en esta situación todavía damos gracias a Dios San Pablo dice: "Alegraos siempre, orad constantemente, da gracias en todas las circunstancias; porque esta es la voluntad de Dios en Cristo Jesús para ustedes." (1 Tes. 5:16-18). La Voluntad de Dios es nuestra salvación y llega al conocimiento de la verdad para no perder la esperanza ni caer en el desaliento. Una de las cosas que me sorprendió descubrir fue que mucha gente aquí viene a misa en Acción de Gracias. Debido a la regla de capacidad del veinticinco por ciento, el horario regular de la mañana estará en vigor: 8:00a.m. Misa en italiano y 9:00a.m. en inglés. Habrá adoración y bendición del Santísimo Sacramento después de la Misa hasta las 11:00a.m. La iglesia cerrará inmediatamente después de la Bendición y no habrá misa a las 7:00p.m. También la rectoría permanecerá cerrada los miércoles y jueves.

Desafortunadamente, recibimos tristes noticias esta semana al enterar de la muerte del P. John Conti, que sirvió aquí durante muchos años como vicario parroquial. Murió a la edad de 99 años y a su edad no se desaceleró; si no estaba en Nueva York, estaba en Italia o Australia visitando a su familia o sirviendo al pueblo de Dios lo mejor que pudo. Tendremos una misa para él el miércoles 25 de noviembre, 7:00p.m., por favor recuérdalo en sus oraciones. Además, recuerden en sus oraciones a los enfermos y ancianos que pueden estar en casa este Día de Acción de Gracias, así como a los estudiantes universitarios en dormitorios que tal vez no puedan volver a casa si están en cuarentena. En nombre del P. Urbano, Mons. Becker, Deacon Santos y yo: un feliz Día de Acción de Gracias para usted y sus familias. Que Dios lo bendiga.

The Holy Mass Book for 2021 is now open. Due to COVID restrictions, this year we ask that you call the rectory parish office to schedule a time to come in and reserve the masses. The number is 718-882-0710 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Holy Masses are celebrated for deceased loved ones. Please limit the number of Masses to 8 so as to permit everyone the opportunity to have a Mass available to reserve.

Cost is $15 per Mass.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Another very beautiful way to remember dear members of our families, friends, or those who do not have any one to pray for them or to offer a special intention/petition is to reserve an intention for one of the following:

The Bread and Wine that will be consecrated at Mass for a chosen week.

The Sanctuary Lamp that burns by the tabernacle for a chosen week. The Candles that burn in honor of our Blessed Mother and

St. Joseph for a chosen week.

Dates are available for the remainder of this year 2019 and for 2020
