SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER
(DIVINE MERCY)
First Reading: Acts 4:32-35
This passage describes the actions of the first community
of Christians. They were of “one heart and one mind.”
They had no rich or poor among them, for they shared all
necessary items with one another.
Second Reading: I John 5:1-6
John explains that we become God’s children by believing
in Jesus. When we love God and concern ourselves only
with pleasing God, our faith is strong enough to conquer
the evil in our world.
Gospel: John 20:19-31
Jesus appeared to the disciples despite locked doors,
breathed on them so that they could receive the Holy Spirit,
and gave them the power to forgive sins in his name.
Thomas, who was not present, refused to believe without
seeing Jesus for himself. Jesus appeared again when
Thomas was present, and told him, “Blest are they who
have not seen and have believed.”

VOCATION VIEW
Easter: resurrection and new life; to be begotten by God, a
new life, shared from a conquered tomb. Meaning for life
for people for thousands of years. Nothing more secure,
nothing more lasting. Come, tell the story. If you would like
to be a priest or have questions about the priesthood,
please contact the Vocation Office at (914) 968-1340 or

The Cenacle of Life Prayer Group meets every Friday

Bread and Wine for the week in memory of your loved
ones. Any questions, please call the rectory 718-351-1093.
The Bread and Wine for this week are donated in loving
memory of Robert Blakeslee requested by Mr. & Mrs. Paul
Fontana.

From the Pastor’s Desk…
My Dear Brother and Sisters,
Once again may the Risen Christ be present in your hearts
and homes to bless you with His gifts of Peace and Mercy.
After 40 days of Lent, with great joy we celebrated the
greatest and noblest of all Solemnities in the Church, the
Solemnity of Easter. All the Masses were well attended.
Easter Vigil had almost a full church. I was little concerned
about any one getting sick but God is so good to us that
everything went so well. The sanctuary looked magnificent
thanks to the Rosary & Altar Society members, Mrs.
Orleman and some of our Confirmation children who
helped. Thanks to all of you who donated for the Easter
flowers in memory of your loved ones. Thanks to Leroy
Nagengast, Carroll Florists and Moravian Florists who
always sent us the best flowers.
This Sunday we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. During the
course of Jesus' revelations to Saint Faustina on the Divine
Mercy He asked on numerous occasions that a feast day
be dedicated to the Divine Mercy and that this feast be
celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. The liturgical texts
of that day, the 2nd Sunday of Easter, concern the
institution of the Sacrament of Penance, the Tribunal of the
Divine Mercy, and are thus already suited to the request of
Our Lord. This Feast, which had already been granted to
the nation of Poland and been celebrated within Vatican
City, was granted to the Universal Church by Pope John
Paul II on the occasion of the canonization of Sr. Faustina
on 30 April 2000.” (EWTN website message.)
This Saturday 99 of our parish young adults will receive the
Sacrament of Confirmation. I was hoping against hope that
my brother would be able to come to confirm them. But a
few weeks ago he called to inform me that he is willing to
come but he has two important meetings to attend for the
Indian Bishop’s Conference, one on 16th and another on
the 20th. He has to travel 20 hours by flight to come and
leave the next day by another 20 hours of flight to attend
these meetings. I contacted all the Bishops of New York.
Finally His Excellency Most Rev. Peter Byrnes agreed to
come and confirm our youngsters. I have been preparing
with our parish Catechetical team and praying for them. As
they receive the fullness of God’s Spirit in their life we pray
that they will live as true disciples of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.
Easter Blessings

Simple Ways to Pass a Moral Code on to Your
Children at Home:
How can parents pass down the wisdom we have and now
want to give our own children? Moral lessons must first be
taught at home, such as providing opportunities for children
to serve others, and teaching them to protect the innocent.
Sue Sisto, Education for Parenting Program Coordinator of
the Archdiocese of NY, will be the presenter. Supervised
play for the children will be available.
