AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DIED RECENTLY
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. Amen
Better that only a few Catholics should be left,
staunch and sincere in their religion, than that they
should, remaining many, desire as it were, to be in collusion with the Church’s enemies and in conformity with
the open foes of our faith.
St. Peter Canisius S.J.
—Psam 92.14

CHURCH COLLECTION Sun. June 1st. $ 8,542.00
We appreciate the generosity of you, our parishioners. When we
have a second collection, people tend to split their usual offering
between the two collections, which is understandable given the
pressure of our economic times. However we rely on the first collection to keep the parish going and pay the bills. We ask that if there
are two collections you include the usual amount you give in the first
collection and do the best with the second if you are able to.

FROM THE DESK OF
FR. MIZZI-GILI
.11th Sunday in Ordinary Time
June 14, 2015
Greetings to All!
After a long festive season that is the Easter Season and the other solemnities within and afterwards, we
come to again, Ordinary Time in the Church’s calendar.
Today in Mark’s Gospel, we hear the parable of the mustard seed. A mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds, and
what is so amazing is that, when the seed dies and the
tree grows it becomes the largest of all the plants. What
we need to understand is that, the use of the mustard
seed parable in the Gospels is for us to understand faith
itself. Faith is a gift from God; it is the first of the theological virtues. How can one explain the meaning of faith?
Faith has at its core, belief. Belief in the one true
God which leads to Hope, which another word to describe Hope is to trust. Trusting in the promises made by
God Himself. Faith in of itself enables us to believe in
things that we don’t see and it enables us to believe in the
God we don’t see, but yet, still believe. We need to hold
on to that virtue. Faith, also, humbles us. It humbles us
because the notion or idea that “I can do it myself without
anyone” is not there. It means that we need help. That
help comes from God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
As it has been stated, “When we ‘walk by faith, not
by sight’ the hidden depths of things become apparent.”
The Collect ( the opening prayer) needs to be our prayer
not just this week but always. So pray with me,
O God, strength of those who hope, graciously hear
our pleas, and, since without you mortal frailty can do nothing,
grant us always the help of your grace, that in following your
commands we may please you by our resolve and our deeds.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns
with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen.
I would like to congratulate our Eighth Grade
Students who have graduated this past Friday. You are a
blessing to us. May God bless you and keep you, may His
Face shine on you always. Amen.
God Bless you in high school and may you become good Christian men and women for this world to
see. Remember, your second home, here at St. Eugene!
God Bless!
Buona Domenica! Good Sunday!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE CARDINAL’S APPEAL
1. Who benefits from the Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal?
Every parish and all people within them benefit from
the Cardinal’s Appeal, as well as those who turn to the
archdiocese for charitable and spiritual assistance.
2. What is the goal of the 2015 Cardinal’s Annual
Stewardship Appeal?
The overall goal for the 2015 Cardinal’s Appeal is $20
million. However, the needs of the archdiocese exceed
$20 million. It will be to the benefit of the ministries
that are supported by the Cardinal’s Appeal to be as
successful as possible.
3. Is the money going towards a good cause?

Stewardship Appeal?
The Archdiocese of New York is an extremely worthwhile organization. It exists not only to care for the

charitable outreach. While many people support their
local parish, it is important to remember how vital the
Archdiocese is to the life of all parishes. The programs

Catholics, as well as others in need who regularly turn
to the Archdiocese of New York.
