CATHOLIC ADVOCACY NETWORK
It is important to stay informed on key issues facing the
Church and state this strengthens the Catholic voice.
Join the Catholic Advocacy Network now by registering
at www.nyscatholic .org and know what’s going on.
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.

OCTOBER 13TH THE LAST APARITION
OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA
On Monday, October 13th at 7:00PM we will pray the Holy
Rosary and following will be a 7:30PM Solemn High Votive
Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary for the
Intentions of the Safety of the Country.
A Light Reception will follow.
WORLD PRIEST DAY
“O how great is the priest! If he realized what he is he would die.
God obeys him: he utter a few words and the Lord descends from
heaven at his voice, to be contained within a small host…St. John
Vianney. On Sun., Oct. 19th at the 12:15 Mass, we’ll offer gratitude
and prayers for the priesthood and appreciation to our own priest for
being instruments of God’s grace. Refreshments will follow.
PARISH RAFFLE—EARLY BIRD DRAWING
First of all, thank you to the many Parishioners who have
already returned their sold raffle books. Your generosity is
most appreciated . I would like to remind you the $100.00
Early Bird Special Drawing is Tuesday, November 4th.
FUND RAISER CLUB
The winners of the Fund Raiser Club is Rudy Janniello
. Congratulations your check is in the mail
CHURCH COLLECTION
Our Parish Collections Sun. October 5th $ 11,524.00
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
and school 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 you can with the second if you are able to.

FROM THE DESK
OF FR. MIZZI-GILI
28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Fratelli e Sorelli nel Signore (My Brothers and
Sisters in the Lord)
Anytime my family has Sunday dinner
or any special event, we make sure that there is
a “good” bottle of wine for the occasion. It
becomes a time for us to be together no matter
what, and spend hours at the table enjoying one
another’s company. We attempt to provide the
best for whoever is coming over to visit. This
Sunday’s readings are reminding us that the
Lord “will provide for all peoples a feast of rich
food and choice wines” as Isaiah tells us in the
first reading. Christ in Matthew’s Gospel is
telling us that “heaven is likened to a king who
gave a wedding feast for his son.” This must say
to us that is it the greatest of all feasts! What
does this mean for you and for me? If our souls
are not prepared, that is cleansed of all sins, we
will be like the man in the gospel who did not
have a wedding garment- he was unprepared to
be with the King of kings and the Lord of lords!
The man who did not have a wedding garment
represents those of us who have turned away
from but think that they can enter heaven no
matter what. That is not true. Jesus once again is
reminding us “many are invited, but few are
chosen.”
In order for us to be among the few, we
must know how to live “in every circumstance
and in all things humbly” as St. Paul says in his
letter to the Philippians.
May you and I pray- ‘I can do all things in Him
who strengthens me’ so that we may live the
house of the Lord all the days of my life.
May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ enlighten
the eyes of all hearts so that we may know what is the
hope that belongs to our call.
God bless you and your families!
Buona Domenica!
Good Sunday!
