Twenty eighTH Sunday in ordinary time
OCTOBER 12, 2014
A NOTE FROM THE PASTOR
OFFICE OF THE CARDINAL
Dear Parishioners,
Taking place in Rome these days is an
Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of
Bishops discussing “The Pastoral Challenges of the
Family in the Context of Evangelization.” Many
issues are being discussed in the October 5-19
meeting. I have not seen a full listing of the topics
but I am certain all of us can imagine the many
concerns there are about marriage and family life.
Rather than look for the listing, at this time I think
it is a good idea to ask everyone who reads these
words to take some time to say a prayer for the
bishops and advisors meeting with Pope Francis
these days (Cardinal Dolan is among them). I will
write about the results of the Assembly once they
are published.
Our prayers for the Synod members can certainly
focus on the need for spiritual guidance in these
difficult times. Guidance for the Synod and above
all guidance for families.
Many families are
challenged by difficulties and even families with
healthy
family
life
need
support
and
encouragement. We should ask the Holy Family of
Jesus, Mary and Joseph to watch over all families.
(The month of October is a great time to pray the
Rosary for our families!)
Let us also pray for our country and the whole
world. Often, it seems the world is turning away
from God’s ways. There are definitely some who
would like to see mention of and reliance upon God
fall away. Hold on to our Catholic faith and trust
that God will never abandon His Church or the
World. As difficult as life may seem, He promised
to be with us always. Trust in God’s care.
Sincerely in Christ,
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Knights of Columbus of Suffern will be selling Raffles
tickets after all the Masses this weekend. Please help
support the good causes of the Knights.
Dear friends in the Lord:
“Today, vast numbers of people still do not know
Jesus Christ.” Pope Francis begins his message for this
year’s celebration of World Mission Sunday with these
words. But, he quickly offers us a way to make a joyfilled, life-giving difference. The Holy Father says:
“World Mission Sunday is a privileged moment when the
faithful of various continents engage in prayer and
concrete gestures of solidarity in support of the young
Churches in mission lands.”
On October 19, as our archdiocesan family
celebrates this “privileged moment,” let us join with our
brothers and sisters around the world who will gather at
the Lord’s Table to celebrate, with great joy, our
common vocation as missionaries. Our “prayers” and
“concrete gestures of solidarity” will help build local
churches, like the church in Mongolia, the world’s
youngest Catholic Church, and churches across the
globe. Through the world of these churches and their
witnesses to Christ, the poor receive practical help and
experience God’s love, mercy, hope, and peace.
Your financial assistance on World Mission
Sunday, offered in the collection for the Society of the
Propagation of the Faith, will support the 1,150 young
mission (arch)dioceses and communities who await the
“Good News” of Jesus as their saving hope.
Pope Francis encourages us to take joyful part in
the Church’s mission to all the nations as we live our
lives grounded in love of Jesus and with concern for the
needs of the most disadvantaged. May World Mission
Sunday offer each one of us an opportunity to
accomplish both as we share the joy of the Gospel and
help the poor with our fervent prayers and through our
generous hearts.
With prayerful best wishes, I am,
Faithfully in Christ,
Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan
World MISSION SUNDAY
OCTOBER 19, 2014
Next weekend, October 18th and 19th the Church will
celebrate World Mission Sunday. This year we are
invited to act in solidarity with missionaries in India and
throughout the world. Every day, faithful missionaries
are reaching out in the name of Christ, offering practical,
emotional and spiritual care to communities, children
and families in desperate need, bringing the light of
Christ to the darkest of circumstances. For more
