Father of goodness and love, hear our He said to them, "But who do you say that I prayers for the sick members of our am?" Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the community and for all who are in need. Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Amen. Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father." We pray for the deceased members of Mt 16:15-17 our parish family who have recently died . . .
"You are Peter, and upon this rock I will Edward Bowes build my church." The name Peter is significant. It Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and comes from a word that means "rock." When Jesus let perpetual light shine upon them.

Thus far, the prophetic utterance of Christ remains true, "the gates of the Navy: Lisa Donnelly, Olivia Nuzzo, Ryan netherworld shall not prevail against it." Jesus Osborn, Maddie Ryan, Robert Welden, Kyle must have been thinking of us, of all future Yingst Christians, when he established the papacy. Just as Jesus instructed Peter after the Resurrection to Army National Guard: Axel Molina

Memorial Opportunities
Since the beginning of Covid 19, and since people have not had the opportunity to have a funeral, several families have recently inquired about "naming" opportunities for their deceased loved ones.
Presently, priest vestments, which will be used in our parish liturgies in the weeks, months and years to come, are available for purchase. Each vestment will have a memorial sewn inside the vestment in memory of your loved one. This is a wonderful practice that gives honor to a loved one.
For further information, please call the rectory, 718-238-2600.
