From the Pastor October 1, 2017 Twenty Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost

THE HOLY ANGELS

This week I would like to write on an important truth of our Catholic faith, the Holy Angels. I do so because tomorrow is the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels and Friday of last week (September 29th) was the Feast of the Holy Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Each Sunday when we come to Holy Mass (may God reward you for doing so) we pray the Nicene Creed or the Profession of Faith. This prayer goes back to the year 325 and we should all rejoice in the fact that we profess the same faith that our ancestors have professed for centuries before us. In fact, many in our Church today may count among their ancestors the Holy Martyrs who shed their blood for the faith which we now profess. Each week we say that I believe in One God, the Father almighty maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. What is meant by the phrase invisible? We know that God Our Lord has made everything that we see…all the animals, plants, and minerals of the visible order. But he has also created a vast creation that is invisible, that we cannot see. This is the order of the Angels. Angels are intelligent creatures of the spiritual order. They do not have bodies and thus do not change. They are pure intelligence. They are purely spiritual and thus are invisible. That angels exist we are certain. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament speak constantly of the presence and work of the angels. God promised Moses that he need not fear about leading the Chosen People from Egypt, because My angel will go before you. And it was the Holy Angels who ministered to Our Divine Savior during His fast of forty days in the desert. Since the angels are pure spirits without a body they may not be seen. The Holy Angels are invisible but when God gives them a mission on earth they appear in a visible form. Often they are seen as young men as they were at the tomb of Our Lord on the first Easter morning. In art they are pictured with wings simply to remind us of how they may travel in speed from one place to another. Since the angels cannot change, they were not given the grace of the redemption as was the human race. The wonder of our glorious human nature is that we can change; we can repent. The angels cannot change and thus once they chose between good and evil their choice was final. The devils are angels, but evil angels who are forever in rebellion against the goodness of God. To each of us has God assigned a Guardian Angel. The guardian angel is our dearest friend who inspires us with good thoughts and protects us both in body and soul. Not only do individuals have angels but God has assigned guardian angels to protect cities, villages, nations and parishes. (Please pardon the personal reference,). On April 29, 2013, I arrived for the first time at St. Paul. I had been appointed Pastor only the previous week and it would be my first visit ever to St. Paul and to visit my beloved predecessor Monsignor Clerkin. Monsignor had invited me for lunch at noon (which was delicious). But I arrived at 11.30 to walk the grounds and to invoke the Guardian Angel of St. Paul’s Parish and of all our beloved parishioners, especially the Guardian Angels of our dear young people, of the sick, and of the elderly. Only then was I ready to ring the bell of the parish office. (I no longer ring the bell since I now have a key).

May I encourage all of you to be on intimate and friendly terms with your guardian angel. The Holy Angels will do great services for us both in the material and spiritual order. Parents should invoke the Guardian Angels of their children so that the Angels may watch over and protect them. Holy Guardian Angels pray for us and protect us.

October 1, 2017

One of the great services of the Guardian Angels is that they serve as ambassadors. If we are not getting along with anyone, we should invoke the Guardian Angel of that person and ask him to sort things out. We may ask our own Guardian Angel to work in concert with the other’s Guardian Angel to make peace and relieve tension, friction, and strife. FIRST FRIDAY ADORATION: May I remind you that Friday of this week (October 6th) is First Friday. The Most Blessed Sacrament will be exposed in the Daily Mass Chapel from 12 noon until 8.00pm at which time there will be Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament I would encourage everyone to spend some time on Friday in adoration. It is the remedy to every ill that afflicts us. No one ever leaves Our Lord’s sacred presence without a sense of peace and serenity. BLESSING OF ANIMALS: On Wednesday October 4th we celebrate the Liturgical Memorial of St. Francis of Assisi. On Saturday October 7th we will have the traditional blessing of the animals in honor of the saint who loved the animals so dearly. It is also the Name Day (onomastico) of the Pope. Please bring your animals to the lovely plaza in front of the Church at 11.00AM so the priest may say the prayer of blessing over all the animals and then walk among the animals to bless them with Holy Water. Please keep the dogs on leashes. PARISH GALA DINNER/CASINO NIGHT: Please save the date of Thursday October 26th. That will be our annual Parish Gala Dinner/Casino Night. Once again we will have the casino night provided by the M&M Twins (my good friends, Marco and Michael Posillico). This proved to be so enjoyable last year and was a great success. May I ask and invite all parishioners to attend this wonderful evening at the newly refurbished Cottage of the Milleridge Inn. Mr. Butch Yamali, the new owner of the Milleridge Inn, recently invited me to go there to bless this new endeavor. I was accompanied by the Chair of the Gala Mrs. Paula Maturo and by committee member Mrs. Anne Maione. I entered every room of the Inn to bless it and sprinkle the Holy Water in all the shops, and in the cottage and carriage house. It is remarkable how this historic inn is being restored to its original splendor. Mr. Yamali is a good friend to us at St. Paul’s and I would encourage everyone to come that night and to see the refurbished Inn. It is our major fundraiser through the course of the year. This year our Gala Dinner/Casino Night will be a formal welcome to Deacon Raymond P. D’Alessio. As we all know, Deacon Ray was assigned to St. Paul’s in February of this year by Bishop Murphy. In the few short months that he has been here Deacon Ray has endeared himself to us all with his dedication, sanctity and humility. Please be sure to attend the Gala as a sign of welcome and gratitude to Deacon Ray. I am most grateful to Mrs. Paula Maturo and her committee for all they have done for the success of this wonderful evening. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS: Today, Sunday October 1st the Knights of Columbus will attend the 11.00AM Mass and the new Grand Knight Mr. Don Cavanaugh as well as all the new officers will be installed after the Mass. As is my custom I will write next week’s article about the Knights of Columbus on the Columbus Day Weekend. SAVE THE DATE: On Sunday October 15, 2017, at 4.00PM, we will once again welcome the world renowned Glenn Mohr Chorale who will present a beautiful musical pageant based on the life of Our Blessed Mother. It is entitled Memorare: Mary Remembers. Please join us for an inspiring and uplifting afternoon of music as we celebrate the month of October, the month of the Most Holy Rosary. October 13th will mark the 100th anniversary of the last of Our Lady’s apparitions at Fatima at which occurred the Miracle of the Sun (October 13, 1917). Our annual Golf and Tennis Outing and Awards Dinner will be on Monday, May 7, 2018. I am grateful to all our parishioners who make these wondrous events possible.

MASS OF THANKSGIVING ON OCTOBER 29th: On Sunday October 29, 2017, (the Sunday after the Gala) at 11.00AM there will be a Mass of Thanksgiving for the ministry among us of Deacon Raymond P. D’Alessio. It will be a formal welcome in the spiritual order to Deacon Ray and his family. There will be a reception for all parishioners, friends, and family, after the Mass in Monsignor Costa Hall. This is the Sunday after our Parish Gala and Casino Night which is on Thursday October 26th. (Please see the announcement elsewhere in the bulletin). Everyone is most cordially invited to thank Deacon Ray for accepting his assignment to our parish. LOOK TO MARY: Look to the star of the sea, call upon Mary…in danger, in distress, in doubt, think of Mary, and call upon Mary. May her name never be far from your lips, or far from your heart…If you follow her, you will not stray; if you pray to her, you will not despair; if you turn your thoughts to her, you will not err. If she holds you, you will not fall; if she protects you, you need not fear; if she is your guide, you will not tire; if she is gracious to you, you will surely reach your destination. – St. Bernard of Clairvaux

In Jesus and Mary,

Monsignor James F. Pereda

St. Paul the Apostle Church 50th Anniversary Church Renovation Campaign

“Remember – Restore – Renew”

Capital Campaign Set to Begin The Challenge Awaits Us

As outlined last weekend at all masses by Msgr. Pereda, our parish is embarking on a capital campaign to raise $2.8 million in pledges to be payable over the next three to four years. Our Church and Rectory are in need a variety of improvements and enhancements and our parking lot needs to be repaved.

Over $1.0 Million Pledged! Thank you – Thank you – Thank you

On behalf of Msgr. Pereda and the campaign committee we thank you for your support. As of this past week, 26 families have returned their pledge for a total of $1,010,400. In the upcoming months every family is encouraged to consider making a generous pledge of support payable over a period of three to four years. The campaign is being conducted on the basis of equal sacrifice, not equal giving. Not every family can make the same size pledge, but every family can make the same size sacrifice.

Memorial Opportunities – Can Honor the Memory of someone you Love

Many Beautiful Memorial items and areas of the newly renovated Church will be offered as part of our Church Renovation Campaign. Individual memorial items are available on a first come first serve basis and will be appropriately recognized on a new memorial plaque in the vestibule of the Church. Inscriptions for memorials can include the name or names of those you wish to honor, living or deceased.

Campaign Office Opens If you have any questions about the campaign, please call Andy White our on-site Campaign Director at 516-935-1880 or on his cell phone at 516-607-3635.

St. Paul’s Quote: “Everyone must give according to what he has inwardly decided; not sadly, not grudgingly for God loves a cheerful giver. God can multiply his favors among you so that you will always have enough of everything and even a surplus for God’s works.”

“Let us do something Beautiful for God”
