FATIMA STATUE This week the statue of Our Lady of Fatima will be in the home of Juliet & Jorge Bombita. MEDITATION FOR May 29, 2016 Today we celebrate the truth that Jesus left us an immeasurable gift, that of His Sacred Body and Blood, which is made for us in every Mass we attend. At times, we may find it hard to comprehend that Jesus is truly here and present with us. Each time we receive holy Communion, we truly receive Christ. Nourished and strengthened by Jesus, we draw closer to Him. Our participation in holy Communion allows us to live in greater love and unity with one another and gives us the strength we need to share Christ’s light and love with others. The first reading tells of Melchizedek, a priest of God Most High, who brought out bread and wine and gave a blessing to Abram. Abram gave him a tenth of everything. The second reading recalls Jesus’ words at the Last Supper, that when we eat this bread and drink the cup, we proclaim the death of the Lord until He comes again. In the Gospel, Jesus feeds a crowd of five thousand with only five small loaves of bread and two fish.

There will be only one collection taken. If you wish to add additional names, please feel free to write them on the back of the envelope. It is important to return this special envelope so all your intentions can be remembered in the Novena of Masses. There are special Father’s Day Spiritual Bouquet cards available in the Gathering Area of the Church. All your intentions will be remembered in our special Novena. Reminder The School and Parish Office will be closed on Monday, May 30, in observance of Memorial Day. Remember our men and women who have given their lives to defend our country! Our prayers are with them! God Bless America! IN THE SPIRIT OF FATHER REILLY KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS HELP OUR SCHOOL Father Reilly, our founding pastor, used the parish Knights of Columbus Council #6345 (and their wives) in the construction of the wing which stands behind the gym. That wing, which is home to some of our Pre-K, is now called the Father Reilly Wing. With the replacement of the basketball backstops from the original ones installed in 1963, Father Bob, in the “spirit of Father Reilly”, asked the Knights of Columbus from the parish to once again give a helping hand to our school and sponsor one of the new basketball backstops at the cost of $7,000. The total project is $42,000. At a recent meeting the Knights voted and approved the donation. Pictured below is Mr. Thomas DeLuca, the Grand Knight, presenting a check for $7,000 to Sister Mary Louise Shulas, MPF, our Principal, and Mr. Edward Modzelewski, the Director of Athletics and teach. Father Bob and the parish thank the efforts of the Knights of Columbus in helping Saint Augustine School, especially our gym, the envy of the Diocese! Father Reilly is smiling down upon the Knights and is proud of you! Father Hezekiah, who was last based at the St. Charles RC Church in Tunapuna, passed away while visiting his family in Kendall Park, NJ. He was 82 years old. Father Reggie, as he was affectionately know, was considered the “people’s priest who has always placed service to others before self.” He was first ordained 55 years ago at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The Auxiliary Bishop of Port of Spain, Robert Llanos, expressed his sadness over the passing. “We are very sad to lose him unexpectedly like this. It also leaves another void in the work of the Church. He was a very highly respected and much loved pastor. He did a lot of healing ministries, concerning all aspects of the community and the family. He was also well known for his fundraising and was a vibrant Catholic priest.” Father Hezekiah was Spiritual Director of many groups including Powers for Strength, the Assumption Prayer Group. He will be missed.

Mr. Johnson is being honored for his many contributions to both the Parish and Parishioners of St. Augustine. A contribution of $250. has been made to the Consolata Missionaries in his name.
