MISSION STATEMENT
As members of St. Catherine of Sienna Roman Catholic Parish, we are committed by our Baptism to spread the teachings
of Jesus Christ by living our faith in loving service to all people. Inspired by the Holy Spirit and through worship and
prayer, we use our time, talent and treasure, to nourish the soul, care for the needy, minister to the alienated, nurture
the children and WELCOME all people into our community of faith.
From Msgr. Figliozzi
Scriptural Reflection for the Week
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of
the world.” (see John 1:29-34) We hear these words of
John the Baptist in today’s Gospel as the priest holds up
before us the sacred Body and Blood of Christ at each
Mass. When these words of two thousand years ago are
said today it is as if the whole world is stopping to recognize the One we often take for granted. This moment in
which we are invited to approach the table of the Lord is
a moment of adoration and a moment in which we can
profess faith in the Sacramental Presence of the Lord
Jesus now in our midst. We gaze on the One who takes
away our sins and those of the whole world. What is then
meant to happen within us? We are led to see Jesus in
all the moments of our lives. To see Him in our home life;
to see Him in our those we walk by; to see Him at work
and in the neighborhood we live and once we recognize
His presence to then serve Him by serving others. These
words, “ Behold, the Lamb of God,” do they make you
stop and think? Do they make you see what we should
see in one another’s lives?
Stewardship…..
2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Reflection
Today’s responsorial Psalm is the theme song of
the good steward: “Here am I, Lord; I come to do
your will.” May I, too, stand ready to offer myself
and my gifts in the service of God.
Stewardship
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our
parish who take time each day to pray and
discover how the Holy Spirit is working within
them.
March for Life 2014
Takes places this Wednesday, January 22nd, in Washington, D.C. Please pray for all those standing up for life

year in our country alone). Make a visit to church, offer a
Rosary and / or fast during the day to be in solidarity with
this basic human right to life issue of our time.

‘IN HOME’ PARISH PRAYER
PROGRAMS
encouraging families and individuals
to pray daily in the home
Our CUP OF PRAYER program
reminds us of the importance of
daily prayer for vocations, priests
and our family. It has traveled
throughout our parish community
weekly to families and individuals.
It was initiated in 2010 by a group
on a pilgrimage that visited Ars,
the home of Saint John Marie Vianney, the Patron of Parish Priests. The parish was presented the CUP by the group to encourage increased daily prayer in the home. Through the
program intentions are presented for much
needed vocations to the priesthood, our parish
priests and their intentions, our own parish
family, and also family and individual intentions. The CUP is presented at weekend Mass
of your choice; the family or an individual receives a blessing witnessed by those assembled.
A Cup of Prayer booklet provides suggested
prayers.
OUR LADY OF FATIMA
PILGRIM VIRGIN STATUE
program promotes the daily
praying of the Rosary and has
been a parish prayer program
for 26 years. Initiated here due
to the deep devotion to Our
Lady of Fatima and praying of
the Rosary.
It has since
touched the lives of hundreds of families and
individuals over the years. A ‘pilgrim’ statue of
Our Lady of Fatima travels to a home, delivered
by a member of the parish, and displayed to
inspire praying the Rosary DAILY. There are
specific prayers led by the person that delivers
and picks up the ‘pilgrim’ statue, prayer booklets and resources for praying throughout the
week.

PARISH SOCIALOUTREACH MINISTRY
What is Parish Social Ministry?..........
We hear this question a lot, so we thought we should address it for you. Basically, Parish Social Ministry” (PSM),
also referred to as “Outreach” is here to help the members of our community (Catholic or not) in any way we can.
Sometimes, we can help you sort out a problem or give you a referral over the phone (775-0840). In other cases,
you may need to come in to more thoroughly review your circumstances and explore options. Whatever the
situation, there’s probably something we can do to assist you.
Many of you are already familiar with, and so generously support our Food Pantry. We carry a wide
variety of non-perishable foods. This can be very helpful to those who ask themselves the question, “Eat or heat?”. We can help you supplement your nutritional needs, so you can use the money you have for your other needs. The pantry is stocked with items received from our generous
donors of both food and money to purchase food. If you’d like to donate food, you can leave it
in the green bins, labeled for this purpose, located in the lobby of the Sienna Center or bring to the Parish
Social Ministry (Outreach) Office. We never have enough peanut butter, jelly, prepared pasta sauce, tuna,
canned meats and canned pastas.
We have resources to help with grocery shopping, immigration, legal issues, crisis pregnancies, suicide prevention,
domestic abuse, employment assistance, services for veterans, the elderly and those with special needs; the list
goes on and on. We will feature individual services and programs, in detail, in this Bulletin, so be sure to look for it.
If you’re unable to pay your bills, we can help you to create a budget and/or evaluate your circumstances
to see what services you may qualify for, then help advocate for you to get them. You may be eligible for
services that you didn’t even know existed!
We know that there are those of you who need help, but are too proud or embarrassed to ask. You may not want
to be seen coming in to our office. Rest assured that no one will know why you’re coming. You could be making a
donation or inquiring about our Caregivers’ or Bereavement Support Groups, among other things. We respect
your privacy and want you to know that everything is kept strictly confidential.
In addition to food, referral and financial assistance, we have a Special Needs Advocate, to help
make sure that our parish facilities are accessible to everyone and address any issues that come
up in this area. You may leave a message for her at 775-0840. There is a Special Needs Mass on
the third Saturday of each month, September through June, at 3 PM in the Sienna Center, 980
Holzheimer Street, Franklin Square, which is fully accessible.
If you need us, please call or come in during our regular office hours– Monday through Thursday, 11AM to1 PM,
Thursdays also 4PM to 6PM, and 1st Saturday of the month 11AM to 1PM.
If you know someone who can benefit from our services, please encourage them to contact us.
If you’d like to help, you may send your donation to St. Catherine of Sienna PSM, 33 New Hyde Park
Road, Franklin Square, NY 11010. Checks should be made payable to: St. Catherine of Sienna, PSM. Donations
of cash, or Duane Reade, CVS, Old Navy, supermarket, fast food, Visa or other Gift Cards can be dropped off in
the Parish Social Ministry (Outreach) Office during our regular hours. On behalf of those assisted with your
help, we thank you!

CARNEVALE – ITALIANO
Carnevale in Italy is a huge winter festival celebrated with parades, masquerade balls, entertainment, music,
and parties. The celebration has its roots in Italian culture and continues throughout Italy to this day. The tradition extends to many places including here in Franklin Square. Carnevale is celebrated
prior to the beginning of the Season of Lent. It is in part a result of the practice of abstaining from meat during Lent; carnevale means “farewell to meat.” Some folks may remember the days when meat was not eaten during the Lenten season; Fridays were a day of
both fast and abstinence.
Here we enjoy an evening of celebration with a festive atmosphere with a scrumptious
dinner menu of various meats, great music, dancing and fun. The celebration’s spiritual
nature reminds us of our blessings — the bounty we receive throughout the year. It affords
opportunity to prepare for sacrifice during the season of Lent.
Join us for a fun-filled evening of music,
dancing and delicious food!!
(dinner will prepared by Papa Ciro’s)
