TRANSCRIPT
A Father’s Prayer to The Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, guide me along Your paths. I am blessed to have been entrusted with the care of a dear wife and children. They deserve a man of character, of wisdom and virtue.
Enlighten my mind, strengthen my will, uproot from heart the pride and selfishness that lead to sin. Draw me to prayer; prompt me to turn to You often each day, so that all my actions and decisions, whether minor or of great significance, may be infused with Your light and Your grace. I ask this in Your holy name. Amen.

Lectio Divina Reflection: Today’s Gospel is Mark 2: 18—22. Choose a day in which you will pledge to bring nothing but good news to those around you. Be a messenger of good news to your family, your coworkers, your neighbors, and strangers you meet along the way. Bring no gossip, nothing divisive, just a letter from Christ, in so many words. Lectio Divina is a tool in your faith toolbox to help you tackle the problems in your life. Contact Helen McCullagh 914-237-1595 for more information. Sessions resume in September.
Padre Pio Celebration – a big thank you goes out to Mary Louise Ventresca for coordinating the Padre Pio devotions and religious article sales. It was wonderfully coordinated.

The Washington Ireland Program (WIP) is looking for host families to provide safe, supportive and welcoming homes for 4 brilliant students from Northern Ireland and Ireland. They will be in New York from Thursday 7th June - Thursday 26th July. We ask that host families live within easy access to public transport as the students will be commuting independently to their work placements in New York City on weekdays. This is a great opportunity to support up and coming young leaders, deepen cultural connections and make a contribution to the long term peace on the island of Ireland.
Further information can be found on the WIP website or by contacting Andrew McCullough directly

Please Note: 1) Blackout Dates apply 2) You must write ALL dates and times on the form. 3) Please supply an email address so that any
correspondence/information may be done during the year.
As you all know our calendar of events can get quite full and because of that the calendar requires some time to prepare so we are requesting that all forms be submitted to the rectory office NO LATER THAN JUNE 30TH
Late requests will not be looked at until all others have been accommodated.
Saint Vincent de Paul Society In the Gospel, Jesus says: “This is how it is with the reign of God. A man scatters seed on the ground. He goes to bed and gets up day after day. Through it all the seed sprouts and grows without his knowing how it happens.” Join us for our next meeting June 28th in the Elementary School Cafeteria.

Altar Server Vestment Memorials
Many families who have lost loved ones have recently been phoning the rectory asking about donating vestments etc for use at Mass. While we are certainly grateful for the very kind gesture, we are inundated with white/green vestments at the moment, and would like to suggest a new avenue in which we are desperately in need of assistance - Altar Server vestments. Our Altar Servers are dedicated to the dignity and service of our liturgies and their vestments are well worn. Many of them are irreparable and several have been repaired multiple times. To replace the entire line of vestments is costly, and we would like to offer the parish an opportunity to help in this area. If you are interested in purchasing either a cassock or surplice (or multiple) and having them memorialized in the name of your deceased loved one, please contact Fr. JP by calling the rectory office and leaving a message at ext. 218.
The cost of the cassocks and surplices are as follows:
Cassocks: Surplices: Size 10-14 (6 needed) - $57 Plain Size 14-22 $31 Size 15-16 (8 needed) - $61 Size 23-28 $33 Size 17-20 (8 needed) - $65
Bread and Wine Memorials All 60 daily Masses in one month $100.00 All 8 Sabbath weekend Masses in one week $ 75.00 Four Sabbath weekend Masses in one month $ 50.00 All 15 daily Masses in one week $ 25.00 One Sabbath Weekend Mass in one week $ 15.00
Sanctuary Lamp Memorial Weekly $10.00
JUNE 60 Daily Masses: Philomena McCooey Requested By: Patrick McCooey & Family
