PARISH FAMILY NOTES

OLMM - RAFFLE FUND RAISER

FOR OUR PARISH - 2013

Raffle books for $25.00 with 6 chances to win some

wonderful prizes will be made available at all

Masses beginning next weekend October 13th and

14th, with a drawing of prizes on Sunday, December

15th in our PJPII Center.

This is a wonderful Fund Raiser for our parish. I am

grateful to the work of Fred Hoefferle and Trustees,

Parish Pastoral Council, and Finance Board who are

giving their backing to this good cause and hope that

all of you, our parishioners, will respond with enthu-

siasm and support of our church.

CHOIR NEWS

I am grateful to our organist Merry Naddeo and the

OLMM Choir having created a schedule to sing at

different Masses on the weekends throughout the

course of the year.

Some parishioners informed me they were not even

aware we had a parish choir due to the fact the choir

normally only sings at the 10:00 a.m. Mass each

Sunday. Now with this new choir schedule everyone

in the parish will be able to hear these great voices

and its director.

AN EVENING OF SEARCHING AND ENRICHMENT

Last Tuesday evening, September 24th, 2013 the Young Adult Group of OLMM traveled to the House of Dis-

cernment of the Diocese of Brooklyn to experience and evening of prayer, discussion, laughter and baked ziti.

The Diocesan Director of Vocations, Fr. Kevin Abels, led the theme of discerning the calls in life: marriage,

priesthood/religious, and single life, as options open to each of us as a call from God.

The discussion of the evening was lively, realistic and conducive for faith sharing and searching the meaning

of one’s life as young, or as old we may be. I am grateful to Henry and Mary Macchiaroli for organizing this

event as continued faith formation moments for the young in our parish and for the support and presence of:

Mrs. Masha, Mrs. Ruiz, Mrs. Gubicza, Mrs. Hertler and Fr. Johny.

VANDALISM IN OUR CHURCH AND FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL CONCERNED

In the past several weeks and since the summer, I have noted in the lobby of the church, the candle room and

at the entrance of the church during the morning hours after Mass: garbage, containers, bags and movement of

the candle stands to hide boxes, etc., continues to occur.

I have yet to call the local police precinct regarding these issues. Since the morning 8:30 a.m. Mass is usually

complete by 9:15 a.m., and for the safety of parishioners who may stay a while longer in the church, the doors

will be closed at 9:30 a.m. unless there is a funeral.

If anyone in the church, during the hours that it is opened, weekday or even weekend sees something that

should be reported, please take the opportunity to inform me. We must work together to preserve our church,

its dignity and its sanctity.
