CHURCH OF ST. AUGUSTINE, LARCHMONT, New York APRIL 15, 2018

THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER

Pastor’s Corner

ALLELUIA May God sparkle in all of us As sunlight upon water,

May we radiate for each other Compassion and hope, May our work be fruitful,

Our joys profound, Our pain redemptive,

May our discipleship be rooted In the very life of God.

May we be for each other, For family, for friends,

For those in need, For those especially

Whose faith has come to staleness And whose hope has died

- a burgeoning ALLELUIA - light and peace and simplicity - full gratitude, full openness.

May we take nothing less for granted Than the life we seek

To build up in common. May we suffer the pain of a

Fully generous love. May we remain steadfast

In the shadow of the cross, And rise to meet the passion

Of this world Relying always

On the untiring good Spirit of our God. Amen.

RENEW + REBUILD ST. AUGUSTINE’S 125th

ANNIVERSARY CAMPAIGN We are pleased and grateful to report that as a result of receiving 236 pledges from our parishioners we have exceeded our $2,000,000 Campaign Pledge Goal by over $3,000. 100% of the donations received above the Cam-paign Goal will be solely for Parish Campaign Projects. As important as it is to reach this Goal, it is equally im-portant that everyone thoughtfully and prayerfully con-templates being part of our Campaign; whatever your financial resources will allow. A proverb from Africa says: If you want to travel fast, go alone, if you want to travel far, go together. The more people who join this Cam-paign, the more our parish will be able to serve the Lord and needs of the people. The heritage of our parish has been one of remarkable solidarity and community. Being part of our Campaign, at whatever level, is a sign of our solidarity and participation in the future of the parish. Pledges may be made over the course of five years. Pledge cards and pamphlets are in the pews and the ves-tibule. Thank you.

ALTAR SERVERS NEEDED We are looking for responsible and reliable altar

servers for the Ministry of Acolyte. Must be flexible to serve at various Masses a few times a month. We are looking to replace those servers who are moving on at the end of the school year.

WASTED! Anthony Bourdain’s production about food waste in America is a must see—-and you can do that on Earth Day, April 22, with our Con-

firmation candidates at 2:45 pm in Kenny Hall. 40% of the food in the US is going to waste. We don’t need to produce more; we need to buy more carefully and be smarter about composting, food labels, expiration dates, etc. Come and learn together! Stay afterward with Jeanne Fogel and Bob Silvia of Feeding Westchester—-whose mis-sion is to alleviate the hunger of the 200,000 people in need in our county—to ask your questions.
