September 11 Memorial Mass

This year, we will pray for and remember those who perished in the World Trade Center

attack on September 11, 2001, at all the Sunday Masses on September 13, starting with

the Saturday Vigil Mass at 5 p.m. on September 12. The names of those being

remembered will be announced, the bells will ring and there will be a moment of silence

for each person.

With the restrictions on the number of individuals permitted in the church, members of

the New Hyde Park Fire Department will not be attending a particular Mass.

Please join us at one of the Masses that weekend, as we pray for those being specially

remembered and their families.

Reflection

Sunday, September 6, 2020 Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time (Lec. 127) 1) Ezekiel 33:7-9 2) Romans 13:8-10 3) Matthew 18:15-20 FOCUS: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Our readings today work together to teach us about the real obligations of the law, which include gently correcting one another so that our communities may be in harmony. Paul explains how we must do this, and do all things, with love. And Jesus promises to remain with us always.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

In the first reading, the Lord tells Ezekiel that he will be held responsible for the death of the wicked one if he does not speak out to dissuade [him] from his way. In the Letter to the Romans, Paul writes that the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. In the Gospel, Jesus gives instructions for correcting another, gives authority to bind and loose, and promises where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

50-50 CLUB UPDATE: WE NEED MORE MEMBERS!!!

As most of you are aware, the one fundraiser for our parish over the years has been our 999 Club, which changed over to the 50-50 Club about 7 years ago. For many years, we had between 500 and 700 members in the 999 Club. After quite a few years of having close to 200 members in the 50-50 Club, we only have 96 members who have renewed their subscriptions as of this week. While we are somewhat confident to reach 120 members with a few weeks to go before our September drawing, which will give us a prize of $500, our goal is to get additional members. If we could achieve a membership of at least 200 people it would guarantee a prize of over $800, and of course allow for a larger donation to our parish. With a parish of this size, we do not feel this is an unattainable goal. We realize these days are difficult ones for many people, but if you are able to support this effort it would be greatly appreciated. Please consider renewing your past membership or take out a new membership. The procedure for joining or renewing is easy.

Just put your name, address, phone number and email on a piece of paper, and enclose your $100 check payable to the 50-50 Club (this is less than $10 a month). Please be sure envelope is clearly marked for the 50-50 Club. It can then be put in Sunday collection, dropped by the rectory during business hours, or mailed to Holy Spirit Church, 16 S. 6th Street, New Hyde Park, NY 11040. Any questions, please call Maureen or Rich McCabe at (516) 248-2820 or email richmo70@aol.com.

Announcements

Holy Spirit Social Ministry

If you would like to support the Food Pantry, the items most needed this week are beans (black, red, kidney, etc.) cold cereal, canned vegetables, and pancake mix. (We have enough syrup.) We also are in need of tooth paste and soap.

Food donations can be dropped off inside the church entrance

on Saturday or Sunday during Mass times.

Your support is greatly appreciated!

We also thank Dominick’s Deli on Herrick’s Road,

for all they do to support the food pantry.

This year, due to COVID-19, the annual 5K Walk/Run will be virtual. Participants can walk, run, bike, or swim on their own, or with a small group of friends/family, any time during the week of September 26 - October 3, 2020. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul sponsors the 5K Walk/Run to raise awareness about poverty on Long Island and raise funds to help our neighbors in need. It is our largest fund raiser, and the parishioners, friends, and neighbors of Holy Spirit have always been very generous. The money raised by our team helps our neighbors in New Hyde Park and Garden City Park who need assistance with rent, utility bills and other expenses.

You can go online to Runsignup.com, search SVDPLI, and join the Holy Spirit team. To receive a T-shirt, you must register before September 14.

For more information, please email us at svdpholyspiritnhp@gmail.com

If you are unable to participate, but wish to make a donation, you can send a check made out to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and mail it to the rectory,

or place it in an envelope marked for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and place it in the collection basket at Mass.
