The annual St. Rocco’s feast was an annual expression of the deep faith and selfless love of the parishioners of St. Rocco’s and their pastors. It was always a time of hard work and commitment from parishioners whose daily lives were consumed by their own work/professional lives and family. Yet, there was always time to dedicate many hours to the committee in preparation for the feast, the devotional events and annual St. Rocco’s Mass followed by the procession through the streets of Glen Cove, and the work of each day and night of the feast. I learned much from Fr. Aaron and the many parishioners, living and those now deceased, who were and continue to be a part of that tradition. I also wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to you, the Very Rev. Dom Daniel Nash, your seminarian in summer residence, Joseph Scolaro, the members of the Rosary-Altar Society, those who were involved in the preparation of my farewell Mass, and all those who were so generous through their presence at the Mass and the gift of the beautiful vestment set. Thank you. I also wish to thank those whose generosity to me I was able to offer to your new program for the Catholic young people of St. Rocco’s parish. I am most appreciative of everyone’s prayers! Please be assured of my prayers. Dom Elias, I thank you. I also assure you of my prayers and support as you assume the responsibilities of Headmaster of All Saints Regional Catholic School. How blessed are the students and families of those who will attend! You know that you and all the Canons Regular of St. Augustine are most welcome here at St. Joseph’s Seminary! I congratulate you on the arrival of the recently ordained deacon, Dom Gabriel, who will bring his enthusiasm to the life of both St. Rocco’s and St. Patrick’s parishes. I pray that if it be God’s will, vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life will emerge from the faith of the good and generous people of your parishes! May the ever-Virgin, Mary Immaculate, St. Joseph, and St. Rocco, pray for us! In Christ, Fr. Peter Un saluti a voi e a tutti i parrocchiani di San Rocco, mentre celebrate l’annuale festa di San Rocco.” la migliore festa nell’ Est”. Io conservo molti profondi ricordi della festa che da molti anni ho viaggiato dal Seminario dell'Immacolata Concezione in Huntington alla parrocchia di San Rocco per offrire un piccolo aiuto il Sabato o la Domenica. L'annuale festa di San Rocco era un’espressione annuale della fede profonda e amore disinteressato dei parrocchiani di San Rocco ed i lori pastori. È stato sempre un tempo di duro lavoro ed impegno da parte dei parrocchiani la cui vita quotidiana era sempre consumata con la propria vita di lavoro / professionale e familiare. Eppure, c'era sempre tempo da dedicare molte ore al comitato per le preparazioni alla festa, gli eventi devozionali e dell’annuale Messa di San Rocco seguita dalla processione per le strade di Glen Cove, e il lavoro di ogni giorno e la sera della festa . Ho imparato molto da Padre. Aaron e dai molti parrocchiani viventi e da quelli che ora sono defunti, che sono stati e continuano ad essere una parte della tradizione. Vorrei inoltre cogliere questa opportunità per esprimere la mia gratitudine a voi, Padre Daniel Nash, il seminarista in residenza estiva, Giuseppe Scolaro, i membri della Società del Santo Rosario, e tutti quelli che sono stati coinvolti nella preparazione della mia ultima Messa, e tutti quelli che sono stati così generosi con la loro presenza alla Messa e il bellisimo regalo del vestimento. Grazie. Desidero inoltre ringraziare tutti coloro la cui generosità a me, mi è stato possibile di offrirli al vostro nuovo programma per i giovani cattolici della parrocchia di San Rocco. Io sono molto riconoscente per le preghiere di tutti! Siate certi anche delle mie preghiere. Padre Elias, ti ringrazio. Anch'io vi assicuro delle mie preghiere e il sostegno, per aver preso la responsabilità di Direttore della Scuola Cattolica Regionale di Tutti i Santi. Come sono benedetti gli studenti e le famiglie di coloro che parteciperanno! Sapete che voi e tutti i Canonici Regolari di San Agostino siete i benvenuti qui al Seminario di San Giuseppe! Mi congratulo con voi per l'arrivo del recente ordinato diacono, Don Gabriel, che porterà il suo entusiasmo per la vita delle parrocchie di San Rocco e San Patrizio. Io prego che se è volontà di Dio, le vocazioni al sacerdozio e alla vita consacrata emergerà dalla fede delle persone buone e generose delle vostre parrocchie! Che la sempre-Vergine, Maria Immacolata, S. Giuseppe e S. Rocco, prega per noi! In Cristo, Padre Peter CHURCH OF ST. ROCCO, GLEN COVE, NEW YORK Saturday: 3:00pm — 3:45pm Let us pray for the intentions of our Holy Father during the month of August….. General Intention: Prisoners. That prisoners may be treated with justice and respect for their human dignity. Missionary Intention: Youth Witness to Christ. That your people, called to follow Christ, may be willing to proclaim and bear witness to the Gospel to the ends of the earth. BULLETIN REFLECTION The crowd in today’s gospel demanded a sign of Jesus and wanted to know what “work” He did to inspire their faith. May our faithful stewardship be a sign to others that we, like the Ephesians in the second reading, have laid aside our former way of life and acquired a “fresh, spiritual way of thinking” in Christ. LIVING STEWARDSHIP We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who stand ready to respond whenever and wherever the Lord speaks to us and be prepared for it to change our lives! The regular collection on 7/29/2012 was $2,897.00 The second collection for maintenance & repairs was $1,149.00. May God bless you for your continued support and generosity. Thank you, Fr. Elias 2012 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES APPEAL UPDATE We are very grateful to the 99 families who made pledges.
