Vision Statement

Incarnation Parish is a Roman Catholic community centered around the Lord Jesus, a living sign of hope to all that the Word made flesh dwells among us. His presence and love is encountered in all areas of our life together, especially in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in Sacred Scripture and in the Sacraments. We seek to make the Lord's presence and love known through service and edu-cation, through evangelization and through con-tinual conversion and renewal in Him. We entrust our life together and our sharing in the mission of Christ to the protection and intercession of Mary,

Mother of the Lord and our Mother.

Feast of Faith Series: Our Creed: Who We

Are and What We Are About ~ We invite eve-

ryone who would like to explore our Catholic Faith more

deeply to come and reflect on the Creed throughout this

coming year. The next of the five sessions— “The First

Person of the Blessed Trinity: “I believe in one God”

takes place Tuesday, Nov. 7 at 7:30PM. Save the dates

for future sessions on Jan 23, Apr 17 and May 22 - all

Tuesdays at 7:30.

Blood Drive—TODAY. Our Autumn

Blood Drive takes place today. It’s not to

late to invite those who don’t attend Incar-

nation to come and give the gift of life.

Now it’s more important than ever to come

out for our Blood Drive. If you won’t do-

nate who will. Make plans to join us for a half hour or so

today in the school. Please have breakfast and bring ID.

CHRISTMAS MARKET. Save the date and spread the

word as the Family Life Committee will be sponsoring a

Christmas Market on Sunday, December 17 from 9AM un-

til 4PM in Msgr. Griffin Hall. Look for more details and

vendor reservation at the end of the month.

BRING A FRIEND TO CHURCH!

FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN 1 4

I remember when I was four, But sometimes I’d see the other fellow

And mother would bring me ‘round to the store, Standing around and I’d just go yellow,

And just outside church she’d stand, I’d pass by the door, but a Voice from within

“Come in,” she’d say, reaching down for my hand, Seemed to say real sad, “So you wouldn’t come in

“Just for a minute.” Just for a minute?” 2 5

And then when I started going to school, There are things inside me bad and good,

She’d bring me down every day as a rule, That no one knows and no one should,

But first the steps to the church we’d climb, Expecting Our Lord and I’d like Him to know,

And she’d say “We’ll go in – you’ve always got time, And He helps when in for a visit I go,

Just for a minute.” “Just for a minute.” 3 6

Then I got real big, I mean seven years old, He finds it lonesome when nobody comes

And went by myself but was always told, (There are hours upon hours when nobody comes)

“When you’re passing the church don’t forget to call And He’s pleased when anyone passing by stops in

And tell Our Lord about lessons and all, (though it’s only a little guy)

Just for a minute.” “Just for a minute.” 7

I know what happens when people die,

but I won’t be scared, and I’ll tell you why:

When Our Lord is judging my soul, I feel

He’ll remember the times I went in to kneel

“Just for a minute” before His throne.

At the Diocesan Liturgy Workshop last week ago several people were surprised that we kept the church open all

day. Besides our weekly Wednesday Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, and First Friday and First Saturday

Devotions, those comments made me think of this poem above that I memorized when I was young.

Our Church is open each day until at least 5PM. So stop in “Just for a minute” and may God Bless you! JOC

Mustard Seed Ministry: At the end of the Opening Prayer

children from ages four to seven will be

invited to the lower church to hear the

reading(s) in a special way by a trained

catechist. This may include storytelling,

creating a simple craft, singing a song,

etc. At the end of the Prayer of the Faithful of the Mass the

children will return and sit back with their parents and

families. For more information see Mrs. Fouche after Mass

or call the Rel Ed Office.

WORLD MISSION SUNDAY is today. Please assist the

mission Churches throughout the

world with your prayers and gener-

osity. Support infant Church Com-

munities around the world. Help

introduce others to Jesus Christ.

ALL SAINTS’ DAY. Holy Day of Obligation. Wednes-

day, Nov 1 is the Solemnity of All Saints—A Holy Day of

Obligation. The Masses here at Incarnation will be at 8:30

& 10:30AM Masses on Wednesday morning and 7:30PM

on Wednesday evening. There will be no Vigil Mass on

Tuesday evening. Please plan to attend Mass either at In-

carnation or by your work as we honor all God’s Holy

Ones.

PRAYERS FOR VOCATIONS TO THE PRIESTHOOD.

Over the next ten

months you will be in-

vited to pray at home

for more priests. We invite individual parishioners & fami-

lies to sign up to receive a beautiful Good Shepherd statue

into their home for one or two weeks and to pray for

priestly vocations. A prayer kit & activity sheets about

vocations will be also given to help you through your

prayer week. At the end of the week, on Saturdays, we ask

you to return the Good Shepherd Statue to the Parish Of-

fice so that it may be handed over to another parishioner

and/or family on Sunday. You may keep the activity

sheets for further prayer and reflection. Please consider

signing up for our Prayer Campaign for Priestly Vocations.

Simply fill in the form below and return it to the Parish

Office or in the collection as soon as possible. Father

Chris, Father O’Connor or a member of the Vocations

Committee, will contact you soon afterwards about all the

details. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

A campaign such as Generations of Faith does not simply

end when all the pledges are collected. Now is the time

when we start to see the wonderful effects of our effort.

Blue collection envelopes have been placed by the doors of

the church to help facilitate your pledge payments. Please

be sure to send your pledge payments in by mail or sign up

for online payments at www.cfbq.org/generations/

payments. Together we can insure the future of our parish

and the presence of the Gospel in our part of Queens for

Generations to Come!

REMEMBER: The Sacrament of Penance is celebrated

every week at Incarnation. Confessions are heard every

Saturday from 4PM-4:45PM and by calling the rectory for

an appointment. Don’t neglect God’s Gift of Reconcilia-

tion. “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His mercy

endures forever!”

NEW NATIVITY STATUES. To help celebrate our Parish

Feast, the Liturgy Committee last year decided to get addi-

tional figures for the Nativity scene to be placed in our

church each Christmas. If anyone would like to memorial-

ize any of the new Nativity statues please contact the rec-

tory. A plaque hangs each Christmas Season near the Na-

tivity with the listing of the individuals to

remember in prayer. Available for Me-

morializing: The drummer boy; shep-

herds, ox, ass and sheep. Please check

with Fr. O’Connor for more information.

“Many are called, but few are chosen.”

Consider following Christ more closely as a

priest, deacon or in consecrated life. Con-

tact the Vocation Office at (718) 827-2454

or email: [email protected].

Parish Social Justice Ministry will meet this Thursday at

7:30PM in the Rectory. Join us as we plan for Christmas

visits to our neighboring nursing homes and

more. Everyone is invited as we explore Gos-

pel Teachings and strive to put them in practice

in our community.

CHURCH ETIQUETTE. A reminder to all to turn off

cell phones before entering the

church. Also, we ask that be-

fore and after Mass we keep our

greetings to one another to a

minimum as some parishioners are still in private prayer

with the Lord present in the tabernacle.

PAGE 5 INCARNATION PARISH TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

LIVING LIGHTS. Securing an Annual Living Light

Votive Candle to Honor a Loved One, Remember

a Special Intention, or Mark a Milestone is a con-

tinual and wonderful way to celebrate sentiments

and offer intercessions of remembrance, hope and

gratitude. Two wall mounted electric candle

stands now hang in our church on either side of the newly

restored and expanded Saints’ Shrine. These unique and

inviting candles are made of real wax with electrified illu-

mination to insure your Living Light burns brightly

throughout the year. A plaque displaying the name of

your loved one, your intention, or your milestone will be

mounted before your Living Light Votive Candle.

Plaques will remain for the year you have secured your

Living Light and may be renewed or rededicated for addi-

tional 12 month periods. In addition to its rightful place

before your Living Light in the Saints’ Shrine, your Loved

One, Special Intention, or Milestone will also be included

in the Living Light Section of the Parish Website. See the

blue brochure by the church doors or contact the rectory

for more info: 718-465-8534.

The Shepherd Speaks

We are servants of the word of eternal

life, and we believe that man not only lives on

bread, but on every word that comes from the

mouth of God. (cf. Mt 4:4). Aided by the Holy

Spirit, we must nourish ourselves at the table of the word

by reading, listening, studying and bearing witness with

our lives. We devote time to those we love, and here we

are dealing with the love of God who desires to

talk to us and offer us words of life eternal.

- Address to the Committee of the

United Bible Societies

CHRISTIAN INITIATION. Do you know

a family member or friend who is interested

in becoming a Catholic? The Rite of Chris-

tian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a wonder-

ful process in our parish available to those

who feel called to the Catholic Faith. New

inquiry sessions have begun. The RCIA is

also available for those Catholics who have not yet re-

ceived First Eucharist or Confirmation. Call the Rel Ed

Office (718-465-8534) for more info.

MINISTRY OF HOSPITALITY. Those who are inter-

ested in the Ministry of Hospitality to welcome visitors

and parishioners to our doors at Sunday Mass are asked to

contact Father O’Connor for more information. This min-

istry is a result of the Parish Assembly and parishioners’

desire to make Incarnation a more welcoming place.

Gracious God and Father, we enter

into your presence realizing you

know us better than we know our-

selves. You know the cares and

sufferings we carry in our hearts.

You call us to holiness and we

trust you to lead us together on our

journey to be a renewed Church, for with you all things are possible.

Create us anew in Jesus Christ your Son. Liberate us from all that

keeps us from you. Heal us from every form of sin and violence.

Transform us to live your Word more profoundly. Awaken us to the

sacred; rebuild trust among us. Enliven our parishes; reunite our fami-

lies. May your Holy Spirit empower us to live as a community of love,

freed to share in your work of recreating our world and restoring jus-

tice. We believe you are doing something new, calling us to arise to-

gether in Christ to celebrate the fullness of life. Amen.
