La Vida de Nuestra Parroquia a la Luz del Brote de Coronavirus
¡Ahora Finalmente Volvemos a la Adoración Pública!
La Misa de Lunes a Viernes Comienza este Miércoles 10 de Junio
Durante este tiempo, se ofrecerá una misa al día de lunes a sábado a las 8:00 a.m. en la Iglesia Principal. Los asistentes deben usar una máscara y mantener una "distancia social" adecuada. La asistencia está limitada a 175 personas, que es el 25 por ciento de la capacidad de la iglesia.
La Misa Dominical se Reanuda este Fin de Semana 13 y 14 de Junio
Tendremos nuestro horario regular de misa dominical con las siguientes modificaciones para seguir las pautas de salud:
Confesiones el sábado a las 7:00 p.m. Manténgase a seis pies de distancia mientras espera en línea y solo confiese detrás de la pantalla.
Santa Misa el sábado a las 5:30 p.m. y el domingo a las 7:00, 9:00, 11:30 a.m. en inglés y 1:00 p.m. en español. Los asistentes deben usar una máscara y mantener una "distancia social" adecuada. La asistencia está limitada a 175 personas, que es el 25 por ciento de la capacidad de la iglesia.

UpComing EventsAugust is Dedicated to the Glory and Honor
of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Devotion to the Immaculate Heart became even more popularized after Mary's appearing to the three young shepherd children at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917 (before the Russian Revolution), when she asked that Russia be consecrated to her Immaculate Heart to prevent the spread of "the errors of Russia." Eight years later, in 1925, Mary appeared to one of the visionaries – Lucia, who had since become a nun – and requested reparations for the various ways in which her Immaculate Heart was offended – such as attacks against her Immaculate Conception, virginity and divine maternity, and for those who teach their children contempt of Mary or who insult her by desecrating her images.
To make these reparations, she asked that we do five things, all with the intention of making reparation to her Immaculate Heart:- Recite at least Five Decades of the Rosary every day
- Wear the Brown Scapular
- Offer our daily duty to God as an act of sacrifice (i.e., make the Morning Offering)
- Make Five First Saturdays of Reparation to Her Immaculate Heart (see below)
- The Pope, in union with all the bishops of the world, must consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart. Russia would be converted through this means, with a period of peace to be given to the world. If this is not done, Russia will "spread her errors throughout the world.
The "First Saturdays of Reparation" (typically referred to simply as "First Saturdays") was not a new devotion, but it was even more popularized after Our Lady appeared at Fatima. It consists of, on the first Saturday of each month for five consecutive months:
- Going to Confession (may be eight days before the Saturday as long as one stays in a state of grace)
- Attending Mass and receiving the Eucharist
- praying five decades of the Rosary, including the Fatima Prayer
- "keeping her company" for 15 minutes while meditating on all of the Mysteries of the Rosary with the intention of making reparation to her. This can be done by reading Scripture or other writings relevant to the Mysteries, meditating on pictures of the Mysteries, or simple meditation.
The promise given by Mary to those who make the First Saturday devotion is her assistance at the hour of their death. -

Perpetual AdorationPerpetual Adoration Remains Suspended
Sadly, our Parish's Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament must continue to be suspended in light of the global health emergency we are facing. When we are able to start it up again, we would like to have more Guardians so we can ensure Our Eucharistic Lord is accompanied through prayer every minute of every day.Will you consider becoming a Guardian of the Blessed Sacrament?
For more than 20 years, Our Eucharistic Lord has been exposed for the Adoration of the Faithful 24 hours a day, seven days a week in our Blessed Sacrament Chapel. Our faithful parishioners sacrifice their time and energy to pray before the Blessed Sacrament to make up for the little love Our Lord Jesus receives from so many throughout the world. It is a wonderful thought to consider how many graces have poured forth from our parish for the sanctification and peace of the world by the prayers of our parishioners before the Holy Eucharist. Perpetual Adoration makes our Parish truly special.
Choose any hour of any day or night to honor Jesus
in the Holy Eucharist. Call Marty or Clarice Suchy
at 845-692-4510 to become a Guardian."A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."
– St Padre Pio
"Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer."– St, Teresa of Calcutta
