Evening
Weekday Masses
(posted
12/22/2011)
Regretfully, as of
Jan. 2nd the 7:00 PM Masses on Monday, Thursday and First
Fridays will no longer appear on our regular schedule.
Over the last couple of years, fewer and fewer parishioners have
made use of them.
The usual evening Masses for Religious Ed.
classes, deceased members of the Altar and Rosary Society, Holy
Name Society, Knights of Columbus/Columbiettes and the Legion of
Mary will, of course, continue as scheduled by each parish
group, and we urge more parishioners to take advantage of them. |
Did You See That Article?
(posted

In the December 15th edition of Catholic
New York, the editors published some statistics for the
Annual Stewardship Campaign. Among the parishes with the
largest number of donors our parish, with 642 donors, is #5;
that’s fifth out of almost three hundred parishes!! [Saint
Patrick’s Cathedral came in 8th!!]
What a parish! What tremendous people! Congratulations. |

(posted

You may recall,
we exceeded our Stewardship Appeal goal of
$119,000,by over $5,000, in May for the first time in ten
years! Last week, the Chancellor of the Archdiocese
forwarded a refund check for $633.12 to be used by us
as needed. We'll take it!

Sunday Nov. 27:
(posted
11/23/2011)
You have
no doubt noticed how carefully we have been preparing for the
new translation of the Roman Missal. This
Sunday, the First Sunday in Advent, you will be greeted by: a)
brand new Word and Song Books (Missalettes) in the pew racks,
with page-size
laminated CARDS containing all the Mass
responses. This will
make it unnecessary for you to
flip pages back and forth from Scripture readings to the
responses throughout the Mass; and ) a
reproduced COPY of the laminated card at the ends of
the pews so that you can leave the card in the Word and Song Book, and take home your own copy.

Consolidated Bill Paid:
(posted
11/23/2011)
Due to your special generosity through
the red-bordered envelopes, we raised $174,000 and were able
to pay the complete bill of $221,564.61 for
employee pensions, insurance and the
ongoing parish assessment
through September 30th. We thank you and commend you for
coming to the aid of our parish, in the midst of a very
painful economic downturn. Monsignor and the Pastoral staff
try very hard to economize and pay as many of our expenses
as soon as possible.

Where does that monthly collection go?
Here is a sampling of recent, unexpected needs:
a) $9,000 loss of a weekend collection
(plus make-up funds the following weekend);
b) $3,000 October snow removal;
c) $35,000, classroom thermostat
installation to save energy;
d) $10,000 replacement of a major pipe
system in the alleyway between the Pre-K/K pod and the
boiler room.
Thank you for your consistent support.
We couldn't get along without it.
