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.
St. Peter Canisius S.J.
So valuable to heaven is the dignity of the human soul that
every member of the human race has a guardian angel from the
moment the person begins to be.
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. Today 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.

CHURCH COLLECTION
Our Parish Collections Sun. October 12th $ 9,295.00
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.

29th Sunday in Ordinary Time
FROM THE DESK OF
FR. MIZZI-GILI
Greetings to All!
Allow me to deviate from my usual column this week
and talk about something that is close to my heart- The
Sacrament of Holy Orders, specifically the Priesthood. This
weekend is World Priest Day.
Others have said it and so have I, that without the
priesthood there is NO Eucharist and without the
Eucharist, there is NO Church!!! The priesthood is much
bigger than any one man because this vocation comes from
Jesus Christ the High Priest. To serve at the altar and
confect the Eucharist is the most humbling and most sacred
of responsibilities that I or any bishop or priest has.
Recalling my first mass, the number of priests and relatives
and friends that came to my first mass was a witness to the
importance of the priesthood and NOT me! TO be given the
grace and blessing from the Almighty Himself in all my
human weakness to do that which can only from God
humbles me every time I celebrate the holy sacrifice of the
Mass. Archbishop Fulton Sheen wrote The Priest is not his
Own and in that book, Archbishop Sheen tells us that we
must tie ourselves to Christ’s sacrifice on the cross every
day.
The mass intrinsically unites us to our Lord, Calvary
and heaven itself. When we sing the Sanctus ( holy, holy) the
gates of the sanctuary are closed and the most magnificent,
most gracious of experiences happens- the angels and the
Holy Spirit come down upon the altar! If we saw with our
eyes what actually is happening, we would be like a child in
the corner because we would realize the gravity of the
situation and lay on the ground face down because of our
unworthiness. Remember the prayer we say before
receiving communion- Lord, I am unworthy that you should
come under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall
be saved. The Church is about saving souls- yours and mine
alike. When a man enters the seminary, he is asked, why do
you want to become a priest?” He answers, “because I want
to save my soul.”
When we pray that we believe in the things that are
visible and invisible, we are saying that we believe in the
One who we don’t see, in heaven, he the angels and the
saints. Our Lord is the image if the invisible God. Our
Blessed Mother manifests her Son our Lord to us and the
way to God is through Jesus and to Jesus is through Mary!
May the Madonna help me and my brother priests to stay
fervent in the faith that we profess week after week and
may our Blessed Lord rest in us always. Resta con noi per la
vie del mondo Signore!
I would like to express my appreciation to Jackie
Barton and the members of the Respect Life Society, who
have put together the reception and to Mr. George Alessi a
member of the Serra Club for all that they do for the
priesthood. Thanks so very much!.
Grazie Tanti!
Buona Domenica!
Good Sunday!
