SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2014: FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Dear Friends in Christ,
Cari Amici in Cristo,
First, thank you for the positive response to the new
sacred objects and vestments. All the sacred objects are
now dedicated but we still have vestments for dedication. Please contact the office for details.
Prima di tutto, vi ringrazio per la risposta positiva ai
nuovi oggetti sacri e paramenti. Tutti gli oggetti sacri sono
già dedicati ma abbiamo ancora paramenti per la
dedizione. Vi prego di prenderci contatto l'ufficio per i
dettagli.
Also, I want to thank everyone who supported the
Annual Headmaster’s Ball. It was a really nice evening
and I was especially pleased to be able to recognize
Linda and Mario Reali for the steadfast dedication to our
parish and to our Catholic faith. We are looking forward
to next year’s ball on Saturday, January 31, 2015. The
theme has not yet been determined, but this year’s Venetian masquerade ball added a great deal of good cheer
and humor to this elegant affair.
I would like to add that I was very happy to work
with Mr Ata Kashanian, the Managing Director of the
Glen Cove Mansion, who afforded us every courtesy. I
can strongly recommend the Glen Cove Mansion for
your family celebrations, and I look forward to working
with this wonderful local business in the years to come.
Also, I am planning to start a monthly catechesis in the
Catholic faith in Italian. It will be an adventure for all of
us! I will place a list for the church so that you can vote
for the day of the week and time that suits you best. If I
have enough interest, I would consider meeting once
during an evening and once during the day each month.
I believe this will be a very positive experience for everyone. It will allow me the opportunity to work on my
Italian and allow you to learn more about our faith and
give you a chance to find answers to your questions.
The rest of the month of February is relatively quite
and calm, but this is merely the calm before the storm of
activity that will take place in March. As Lent arrives on
Ash Wednesday, March 5th, we have a number of events
coming up including the Journey to the Cross on Friday,
March 7th and the celebration of Confirmation on March
24th with Bishop Robert Brennan. I am also working on
a parish mission. We will also have a new bilingual
booklet for the Way of the Cross. Also, we will have
two open houses at All Saints, both on Mondays, on
March 3rd and March 24th respectively, at 7 pm to 9 pm.
God bless you,
Father Elias
Inoltre, voglio ringraziare tutti quelli che hanno
sostenuto il Ballo annualle dell’ Headmaster. È stata
davvero una bella serata e sono stato particolarmente
contento di potere riconoscere Linda e Mario Reali per la
dedizione costante alla nostra parrocchia e per la nostra
fede cattolica. Noi guardiamo avanti per il Ballo del
prossimo anno che sarà Sabato, 31 Gennaio 2015. Il tema
non è stato ancora determinato, ma il ballo in maschera
veneziana di quest'anno ha aggiunto una grande quantità
di allegria e umorismo per quest’affare elegante.
Vorrei aggiungere che sono stato molto felice di
lavorare con il sig. Ata Kashanian, Consigliere Delegato
del Glen Cove Mansion, che ci ha offerto ogni cortesia.
Posso vivamente consigliare il Glen Cove Mansion per le
vostre feste in famiglia, e non vedo l'ora di lavorare con
questo meraviglioso business locale negli anni a venire.
Inoltre, ho intenzione di iniziare una catechesi mensile
nella fede cattolica in lingua italiana. Sarà un’avventura
per tutti noi! Porrò un elenco nella chiesa così potete
votare per il giorno della settimana e il tempo che vi si
addice meglio. Se Io ho abbastanza interesse, vorrei
prendere in considerazione di incontrare una volta durante
una serata e una volta durante il giorno di ogni mese.
Credo che questa sarà un'esperienza molto positiva per
tutti. È mi darà l'opportunità di lavorare sul mio italiano e
permettono voi di conoscere meglio la nostra fede e vi
darà la possibilità di trovare le risposte alle vostre
domande.
Il resto del mese di Febbraio è relativamente tranquillo
e calmo, ma questo è solo la calma prima della tempesta
di attività che si svolgerà a Marzo. Come la Quaresima
arriva alle Ceneri Mercoledì, 5 Marzo, abbiamo una serie
di eventi in arrivo tra cui il Viaggio alla Croce Venerdì, 7
Marzo e la celebrazione della Confermazione il 24 Marzo
con Mons. Robert Brennan. Io lavoro anche su una
missione parrocchiale. Avremo anche un nuovo libretto
bilingue per la Via Crucis. Inoltre, avremo due case aperte
a tutti i Santi, sia Lunedì, il 3 Marzo e il 24 Marzo,
rispettivamente, dalle ore 19 fino alle ore 21.
Dio Vi Benedica,
Padre Elias

Bulletin Reflection
The Gospel reminds us that our lives and our deeds
must serve as examples to others, pointing the way
to the Father. Not for our own benefit do we labor,
but so that others may see our good works and give
glory to our Father in heaven.

Living Stewardship
Adoration Chapel Schedule
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our
parish who choose to use their resources to reach
out to others and build God’s kingdom of love,
justice and peace.

Friday REOPENS from 9:00 PM to 2:00 PM Saturday
As you can see we have an extensive 6 day schedule at St. Patrick’s with 106 Adorers. We are in need of your help to keep the
current schedule in place. Without your help this schedule will get
much smaller. We are asking you to dedicate 60 minutes a week
to keep a vigil with Jesus who is present in the Blessed Sacrament. Our Catholic Faith teaches us that Jesus is truly present in
the Blessed Sacrament. Our Adorers know Jesus is there and tell
of the many blessings they have received by spending an hour with
Him. Being with Jesus for an hour a week brings many graces to
you, your family, our parish and our community. Do you believe
Jesus is really there ? Do you need Jesus’ help with your family, a
job, good health, etc.? Bring it to the Lord in prayer and see if you
can help us and help yourself in your spiritual journey.
Our Adorers are getting older and some are doing more than 1
hour per week. We need new Adorers, especially young adults, to
keep it going. Your lives will be enriched by this wonderful devotion.

Sacred Relics on Saturday March 1st at 1:00 pm.
Holy Name of Jesus Church
690 Woodbury Road

(516) 921-2334
Father Carlos Martins of the Companions of the
Cross will be here with his very special ministry to
teach about these holy objects. He will bring with
Him over 150 relics, some as old as 2000 years.
Among the treasures will be relics of St. Maria
Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the “Little Flower"),
St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St.
Thomas Aquinas, and St. Faustina Kowalska. In
addition, there will also be present a portion of the
veil of Our Lady, as well as one of the largest
remaining pieces of the True Cross in the world.
Those in attendance will be able to examine and
venerate each relic. In the Church’s history many
miracles and healings have been worked in the
presence of relics, and many have been healed
through this ministry.
Please do not miss this opportunity. You are encouraged to bring your articles of devotion (such as
rosaries, holy cards, etc.) and pictures of ill friends/
family members, which you will be able to touch to
the reliquaries as a means of intercession.
See www.treasuresofthechurch.com for more information. If you have any questions, kindly contact
Lisa Reali at 516-364-7119.
Please continue to pray for all the men and
women serving our country:
