Philip Neri electronically may call the Parish Pay program at

benefits greatly from the regularity of the system and detaches
the issue of church support from such factors as the weather,

As a message of hope in response to the spiritual crisis
in our culture and nation, all are being urged to
participate in the saying of the rosary daily from
August 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary,
through October 7, the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.
The prayers would be offered for marriage and the
family, for peace, for human life and for freedom. The
daily rosary might be recited individually, as a family
or with a parish group, for 54 straight days, 27 days in
petition from August 15 through September 10, and
then 27 days in thanksgiving from September 11
through October 7. For more information, visit

Parish and School Website
We recently called attention to our parish and school
website. We thought it was good, but now it is better.
We have joined an Archdiocesan network which allows
us to modify the site ourselves from the rectory. This
bulletin is now being posted on the site every Friday.
Full information about our religious education
programs for both children and adults can be easily
located, as can be the registration forms to be filled out.

Lectors Needed
In response to our call for new lectors, two new
volunteers attended a preliminary meeting on Monday
night. There will be another meeting on Monday
August 10 at 6:30 in the church. Present lectors are
encouraged to attend since they will be able to share
their experience with others. We continue to welcome
anyone who can make a commitment, either for
Sundays or weekdays. If we have a larger group, the
commitment should be easy enough since we will have
a list to from when on a given day the assigned lector
cannot be present.
St. Patrick’s Cathedral
On Tuesday August 25 Channel 13, during its
“Treasures of New York” segment, will offer a film
about St. Patrick’s Cathedral, which recently underwent
a $175 million restoration. The film takes viewers
through the cathedral’s rich history as a center of
Catholic life in New York and examines the
architectural features that have made it a celebrated
New York City treasure and a National historic
Landmark. The film highlights the efforts to preserve
this historic treasure, examining the massive, recently
completed restoration that includes a new roof, repairs
to the stone facade and restoration of the stained glass
windows. Initiated in 2007, the project is the most
extensive and expensive restoration in the cathedral’s
history

Vocation Summit
Do you love the priesthood and religious life? Would
you like to learn more about how you can promote
vocations in your parish? Then join us for a delicious
meal, free of charge at St. Joseph Seminary in Yonkers
this October 9, from 6-9pm. Our guest speaker is Rhonda
Gruenewald, and expert from Houston who has literally
“written the book” on how to effectively run a parishbased vocation ministry. Also at the dinner, we’ll unveil
our new four-point Archdiocesan Vocation Plan Please
note: Attending the dinner does not obligate you to
more volunteer duties. It is a night to learn, be inspired,
and perhaps take home some best practices to your
parish. See more details and RSVP at
www.nypriest.com/vocationsummit
Memorial Garden: Subscriptions Slow
We have had only a few requests for memorial bricks in the
chapel garden. If we do not receive at least ten requests by
September we plan to return any contributions already made.
Meanwhile it is still possible to inscribe a paving brick in
memory of a deceased loved one or in tribute to the living.
The donation is $200. Since we can install the bricks only if we
have a minimum order of ten, we encourage anyone interested
to register as soon as possible. There is always a long delay
between submitting the order and the installation date and we
would like to be able to do so early in the summer. Enrollment
forms are available both in the rectory office.
