Week of April 19th
From the Pastor’s Desk
Dear Parishioners,
As an Easter People, we raise our voices in song, praise, and prayer praise, singing Alleluias with joyful hearts.
During this Easter Season, I raise my voice in thanksgiving for those who have participated in our Lenten Programs & inspiring Easter Liturgies whether from the sanctuary, in the pews or standing in the back and down the aisles or via Livestream. Your participation was also evident in the form of volunteering wherever and whenever needed. Above all your financial support is most appreciated.
During this Easter Season, I wish to thank the following ministries for their hard work and long hours of service.
First, my sincere thanks to all the Liturgical ministers: the cantors, organist, trumpet players, Altar Servers, Lectors, Eucharist Ministers, Ushers, and the “12 Apostles.” Your participation individually and collectively made each of our celebrations meaningful and spiritually uplifting.
Second, my sincere thanks to the committees and volunteers, especially to the Hospitality Committee for organizing three amazing events during the Month of March—our Brunch Sunday, St. Patrick’s Dinner, and Lenten Soup Supper, and kudos to the chefs and generous donor for underwriting the entire Soup Supper. The generosity of 1 parishioner really impacted our ability to be generous to the LIFE Center, Marymount Nuns, and the Pocantico Fire Department. All have commented on how our church looked beautiful both inside and out due to the hard work of the Altar Guild and Hudson Landscaping, who donated our outdoor spring plants. One viewer commented that our sanctuary looked like a flower shop!
My sincere thanks to my staff and my sacristan. As you know, I do not have an assistant, but they certainly do the work as if I had one.
Finally, my sincere thanks to all those who have contributed to the Easter Collection.
As Jesus entered the Upper Room through the doors and offered his peace, so do I… Peace be with you!
With Easter joy and deep gratitude,
Fr. Tim
The Word of God
Reading I: Acts 2: 14, 22-33 Jesus, raised up by God, is the fulfillment of King David’s vision of dwelling in hope in the presence of the Most High.
Reading II: 1 Peter 1: 17-21 Peter declares that Jesus saves us by the shedding of His precious blood. For this was He destined “before the foundation of the world.”
The Gospel: Luke 24: 13-35 This famous post-Easter story finds Cleopas and his companion on the road (away from the Church in Jerusalem) when they encounter the risen Jesus at first unrecognized. First, He teaches the men the meaning of the Scriptures. Later they encounter Him at the meal when He “breaks the bread.”
