Thank you in advance for your participation and support for this great parish event! May God bless our parish through the feast: faith, family and fun. Please keep praying for good weather: “Almighty ever-living God, who heal us through correction and save us by your forgiveness, grant to those who seek your favor that we may rejoice at the good weather for which we hope and always use what in your goodness you bestow for the glory of your name and for our well-being. Amen.” In order to give glory to His Name, we have planned this year a program of prayers, devotions and liturgies throughout the feast. You will find a copy of the schedule as an insert in the bulletin. In addition to the Mass for the Feast Workers on Monday, July 30 at 7 pm, we will open the Feast with a Mass on Tuesday, July 31 at 6:30 pm. Then we will have a variety of prayers devotions each evening in Italian at 7:30 pm. In addition, the Canons will pray various offices of the Liturgy of the Hours each evening. Please consult the schedule for the possibilities. In order to commemorate the 75th anniversary of our parish, I have obtained an antique monstrance. It will be used for the first time during the Feast on Wednesday at Evening Prayer. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we will pray Vespers at 6:30 pm in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. The Service will end with the singing of the Tantum Ergo and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. A booklet will be available with the prayers and songs. This magnificent monstrance dates from the Nineteenth Century. In a gothic style, the monstrance holds the Blessed Sacrament in a glass cylinder surrounded by saints (including as far as we are concerned, Saint Rocco!) and surmounted by the Sacred Heart. This exquisite piece joins the growing patrimony of sacred art that belongs to our church. Should anyone or a group wish to donate this singular work, please contact me. August Schedule - In order to lighten the load a little, given our current situation, the Mass on Saturday at 9:00 am for the month of August is suspended. Also, you will find a schedule of the Masses for the Assumption at St. Hyacinth, St. Patrick and St. Rocco in the bulletin. We will have three Masses at St. Rocco – a vigil Mass on August 14th at 7:30 pm in English & two morning Masses on August 15th at 7:30 am (English) and 8:45 am (Italian). Thank you for your understanding in these matters. Vacation: Following the feast I shall be away for about two weeks from August 6 to August 18 to visit my family in Virginia. Father Daniel and Dom Gabriel will be looking after the parish in my stead. Father Larry will be offering two Masses on Sunday, August 12th and on the Assumption on August 15th. Other priests will also help us during these days. God bless you, Father Elias Cari Amici in Cristo, Festa di San Rocco - La Festa è vicina! Vi ringrazio in anticipo per la vostra partecipazione e il vostro sostegno per questo grande evento parrocchiale! Possa Dio benedire la nostra parrocchia con la festa: la fede, la famiglia e divertimento. Si prega di continuare a pregare per il bel tempo: O Dio onnipotente ed eterno, che ci risani con il castigo e con il perdono ci conservi, dai ascolto a noi che ti supplichiamo, affinché possiamo rallegrarci del tempo sereno che desideriamo, e usare sempre i doni della tua bontà a gloria del tuo nome e per la nostra salvezza. Amen. Per dare gloria al suo nome, abbiamo pianificato quest'anno un programma di preghiere, devozioni e liturgie per tutta la festa. Troverete una copia del programma come inserto nel bollettino. Oltre alla Messa per coloro che lavorano durante la Festa il Lunedi, 30 Luglio alle 19:00, si aprirà la festa con una Messa Martedì, Luglio 31 alle 18:30. Allora avremo una serie di devozioni preghiere ogni sera in lingua Italiana alle 19:30. Inoltre, i Canonici pregheremo vari uffici della Liturgia delle Ore, ogni sera. Si prega di consultare il programma per le possibilità. Per commemorare il 75° anniversario della nostra parrocchia, ho ottenuto un antico ostensorio. Sarà utilizzato per la prima volta durante la festa il Mercoledì alle Preghiera della Sera. Mercoledì, Giovedì e Venerdì pregheremo Vespri alle 18:30 nella presenza del Santissimo Sacramento. Il servizio finirà con il canto del Tantum Ergo e Benedizione del Santissimo Sacramento. Un libretto sarà disponibile con le preghiere e canti. Questo magnifico ostensorio risale al XIX secolo. In uno stile gotico, l'ostensorio detiene il Santissimo Sacramento in un cilindro di vetro circondato da santi (compreso per quanto ci riguarda, San Rocco!) e sormontato dal Sacro Cuore. Questo pezzo squisito unisce il patrimonio crescente di arte sacra che appartiene alla nostra chiesa. Se qualcuno o un gruppo vuole donare quest'opera singolare, Vi prego di contattare me. Il Programma d’Agosto - Per alleggerire il carico un pò – data la nostra situazione attuale – la Messa di Sabato alle ore 9.00 per il mese di Agosto è sospesa. Inoltre, troverete un programma delle Messe per l'Assunzione a San Giacinto (Hyacinth), San Patrizio e San Rocco nel bollettino. Avremo tre Messe a San Rocco - una Messa della Vigilia il 14 Agosto alle 19:30 in Inglese e due Messe mattutine del 15 Agosto alle 7:30 (Inglese) e 8:45 (Italiano). Vi ringrazio per la vostra comprensione in queste cose. Vacanze: Dopo la festa sarò in vacanza dal 6 Agosto fino all’18 Agosto a visitare la mia famiglia in Virginia. Padre Daniel e Dom Gabriel si prenderanno cura della parrocchia in mia vece. Padre Larry offrirà due Messe di Domenica, 12 Agosto ed anche le due Messe dell’ Assunzione, il 15 Agosto. Altri sacerdoti aiuteranno anche in questi giorni. Dio vi benedica, Padre Elias CHURCH OF ST.
