FAMILY DAY

A DAY TO EAT DINNER WITH YOUR CHILDREN

Dinner time is the perfect time to connect with your children on

a daily basis. Through the reflective prayers said during grace,

the array of favorite meals served, and the discussions and

laughter shared about the day’s events, you can help continually

feed your child’s mind, body, and soul. Family meals not only

positively affect the family members gathered but also build up

the entire culture! The National Center on Addiction &

Substance Abuse at Columbia University’s Family Day is a

movement that reminds parents that what your kids really want

at the dinner table is YOU!

We invite you to join this national movement on September 26

th

to restore the deeply meaningful tradition of sharing family

meals together and celebrate what we believe will be a

memorable day for your family!

THIS WEEK’S ALTAR BREAD IS IN LOVING MEMORY

OF

DREW ANTHONY CACCIOTTOLI

"'Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I

had pity on you?' Then in anger his master handed him over to

the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt. So will

my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his

brother from his heart." -Mt 18:33-35

THE SANCTUARY LAMP BURNING NEAR THE

TABERNACLE THIS WEEK IS IN LOVING MEMORY

OF

DREW ANTHONY CACCIOTOLLI

There will be a meeting of the Altar Society on Wednesday,

September 14 at 7:30PM in the large rectory meeting room.

Dues will be collected.

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA)

The RCIA is a good way that people can be guided into

membership in our Catholic Church. Our parish RCIA program

is a program of adult states of conversion leading to the

acceptance of new members into the Church through the

reception of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist at our Easter

Vigil. The RCIA can be vital source of renewal for our own

parish community, not only because of the addition of new

members into our community, but also because it will be our

personal witness, our worship service, and our teaching that will

offer the invitation and support necessary for men and women to

be initiated into full communion with the Catholic Church.

The RCIA is for anyone who has never been baptized, or is

already baptized into the Catholic Church, has not yet received

one or both of the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist in

the Catholic Church. Please call the Rectory and leave your

name, phone number / or address the number is 718-892-1900.

If you are thinking about entering more fully into the Catholic

Church, pray about it and let the Lord do the rest.

If interested please fill out information below.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Chapter 13

It should be called the Federal Fresh Start Law: it provides a Government sanctioned forgiveness of debt with no tax ram-ifications. It takes about 2 years to re-establish your credit after bankruptcy. It’s not part of the problem, it’s part of the

solution to raising your credit score. There’s no longer any social stigma when it comes to getting bankruptcy relief. Oureconomy is not your fault. Don’t let the Banking Industry scare you away from getting the debt relief you are entitled to

under Federal Law. Call for a Free telephone consultation. Admitted to practice in 1982.Thomas M. Denaro, Esquire *1726 Edison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461 *718-863-6000
