Please Note: Since there are too many names of the sick to
mention in the Prayer of the Faithful, they will be listed in the
Bulletin for two weeks. To have a name reinstated on the list,
a family member should call the Rectory during office hours.
PLEASE NOTE: The Church will now be open after
the morning Masses until 7:00PM. Please use the
Church door by the Rectory Meeting Room to enter/exit
the Church between Noon and 7:00PM Monday through
Friday. Also please note that on legal holidays the
Church will be locked after the morning Mass.
GOOD SHEPHERD STATUE: We
are truly grateful to all our parish families who have signed up to pray for
vocations. We would like to thank
Lorraine & Bob Arcella, who kept the
statue in their home last week.

LOCAL PILGRIMAGE SITES: Saturday, October 27 is the day of the Diocesan Pilgrimage to the National Shrine in Washington, D.C. The diocese recognizes that many cannot make the trip to D.C., and so

There are two sites in the diocese: Main Chapel at the Immaculate Conception Center, 7200 Douglaston
Parkway, Douglaston, New York and Our Lady of Solace, 2866 West 17th Street, Brooklyn, New York. At
both sites the service will begin at 1:30 PM and conclude by 3:30 PM. The service will consist of the following: Midday Prayer; Major Presentation; Recitation of Scriptural Rosary; Holy Hour with Eucharistic Adoration. Confessions will be available throughout the entire service.
