MARCH 4, 2012: SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT
Dear Friends in Christ,
I would like to draw your attention to a couple of this week's
upcoming event.
CMA (Catholic Ministries Appeal) – Over the last few
weeks we have quietly started the annual Catholic Ministries
Appeal. Our donations to the CMA fund extensive educational
and charitable programs, which strive to alleviate all manner of
poverties – poverty of truth through education and formation
and the poverty of love through a variety of parish-based &
diocesan-wide programs to conduct the spiritual and corporal
works of mercy. Through our support of the CMA, not only do
these programs benefit, but so too does our parish since a portion of the funds raised returns to St. Rocco. Therefore, I ask
you to be generous in supporting the CMA, so that the mercy of
God becomes ever more present on Long Island.
Free Catholic Literature – In recent weeks you have found
new pamphlets in the church to help us grow in our love of God
and neighbor. Please feel free to take them with you. Fr. Miller,
who authored the Primer on Confession, was one of my professors at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia. It is an
excellent resource for preparing for Confession. The Busy Family’s Guide to Lent and Basic Catholic Prayers are yours to
take and to use. Other literature is on order. I am also interested
in obtaining Italian pamphlets. If anyone has contacts or recommendations, please let me know.
Guests -– This Sunday, at the 10:15 Mass, Father Benedict
offers his Mass of Thanksgiving, his priestly ordination, at the
end of which he will impart his blessing. A blessing from a new
priest (within his first year) offers the possibility of a plenary
indulgence according to the normal requirements, i.e., confession, communion and prayers (Our Father, Hail, Mary, Creed)
for the Holy Father.
Father Benedict, a German, was ordained last September
29th on the Feast of the Archangels. Along with him are three
other Canons, all of whom work in Norway. The four of them
are making a visit to our Canonry in Glen Cove. The others are
Father Alois, the Pastor of St. Paul, my religious community’s
parish in Bergen, Fr. Lukas, the parochial vicar, university- and
parish-school chaplain, and Fr. Albert, who is the VicarGeneral and rectory of the Cathedral in Trondheim. I worked
for Bergen for two years, Fr. Bruno for one. St. Paul’s is a
lively, international parish with Mass offered in up to seven
languages each week! It is a great joy that our confreres from
Norway can visit us here in Glen Cove. You will have a chance
to meet them at the Parish First Sunday Breakfast following the
10:15 a.m. Mass. They all speak English as well as German and
Norwegian (and Polish in the case of Fr. Albert).
God bless you,
Father Elias
Cari amici in Cristo,
Vorrei attirare la vostra attenzione su un paio di prossimi
eventi di questa settimana.
CMA (Appello per i Ministeri Cattholici) - Nelle ultime
settimane abbiamo iniziato tranquillamente l'appello annuale
per i Ministeri Cattolilc. Le nostre donazioni al CMA
contribuiscono ad accurati programmi educativi e caritatevoli,
che si sforzano di alleviare ogni tipo di povertà - povertà della
verità attraverso l'educazione e la formazione, e la povertà di
amore attraverso una varietà di programmi parrocchiali e
diocesani per condurre le opere di misericordia spirituali e
corporali. Attraverso il nostro sostegno del CMA, di questi
programmi di beneficenza, anche la nostra parrocchia
beneficierà in quanto una parte dei fondi raccolti ritorna a San
Rocco. Pertanto, Io vi chiedo di essere generosi nel sostenere la
CMA, in modo che la misericordia di Dio diventa sempre più
presente a Long Island.
Gratis letteratura cattolica - Nelle ultime settimane avete
trovati nuovi opuscoli nella chiesa per aiutarci a crescere
nell'amore di Dio e del prossimo. Per favore, sentitevi liberi di
prenderli e portarli con voi. Fr. Miller, autore del Primer on
Confession, era uno dei miei professori a St. Charles Borromeo
Seminario di Philadelphia. Si tratta di una risorsa eccellente per
la preparazione alla Confessione. The Busy Family’s Guide to
Lent e Basic Catholic Prayers sono i vostri da prendere e da
usare. Altra letteratura sta in ordine. Sono anche interessato ad
ottenere
opuscoli italiani. Se qualcuno ha contatti o
raccomandazioni per farlo, per favore fatemelo sapere.
Ospiti - Questa domenica, alla Messa delle 10:15, Padre Benedetto
offre le Messa di ringraziamento a Dio per la sua ordinazione
sacerdotale, al termine della quale impartirà la sua benedizione. Una
benedizione di un nuovo sacerdote (nel suo primo anno) offre la
possibilità di un’indulgenza plenaria secondo le esigenze normali, vale
a dire, la confessione, la comunione e la preghiera (Padre Nostro, Ave
Maria, Credo) per il Santo Padre.
Padre Benedetto fu ordinato l’anno scorso 29 Settembre, la
festa degli Arcangeli. Tre altri canonici che lavorano in
Norvegia, accompagnano P. Benedetto. Gli altri sono Padre
Alois, il Parroco di St. Paolo, la parrocchia di mia communità
religiosa a Bergen, P. Lukas, il vicario parrocchiale, cappellano
universitario ed anche cappellano della scuola parrocchiale, e,
infine, P. Albert, Vicario Generale e rettore della Cattedrale di
Trondheim. Ho lavorato a Bergen per due anni, P. Bruno per
uno. St. Paul è una parrocchia internazionale & vivace con le
Messe celebrate fino a sette lingue ogni settimana! La nostra
comunità
ha
iniziato
a
Bergen
nel
2003.
É una grande gioia che i nostri confratelli dalla Norvegia
vengono a visitarci qui a Glen Cove. Avrete la possibilità di
incontrarvi con loro alla colazione parrocciale della prima
Domenica dopo la Messe alle 10:15. Parlano Inglese, Tedesco
e Norvegese (e Polacco, nel caso di P. Albert).
Dio Vi Benedica,
Padre Elias
