Msgr. Louis Marucci and the parishioners of St. Andrew the Apostle would like to extend a warm welcome to Deacon Paul Abbruscato on his assignment to our parish. Deacon Paul will be with us as a seminarian in residence for the next year; full time through August and at various times throughout the coming year. In September he will return to the seminary to complete his final year of formation to the priesthood. Farewell to Deacon Carlo Santa Teresa! And we say farewell and thank you to Deacon Carlo as he begins his new assignment at Holy Child Parish in Runnemede. Please remember Paul and Carlo in your prayers as they continue their journey to the priesthood and prepare for their ordination next May! From the Pastor’s Desk From the Pastor's Desk can't we? And this is Jesus' point. Even the small act of Do little things matter? The great luxury ship, Titanic, charity is a sacrifice, for it calls us to see our neighbor, sank during its maiden voyage from England to perceive that they are thirsty, and be selfless enough to America. This was the ship built to be unsinkable. She share our water rather than hoard it for ourselves. Is boasted the finest technological and nautical this a little thing? Well, yes and no. Sharing a cup of specifications of that era. No expense was spared. But water is a little thing unless you are the thirsty one who Titanic sank in the cold North Atlantic, on a clear night needs it. in calm waters. The investigation of the tragedy that claimed over 1500 lives showed that the great ship was This was the perspective of Jesus. When it comes to doomed, due to a rudder too small, to make the huge those who follow Him, and who represent Him in the ship turn in time to avoid striking the iceberg, spotted world, there is no such thing as service to people in by the watchmen on duty. What a tragic irony! A great general. There are only people in specific need.

For often, small acts of charity and shared with you on many occasions that your gift, no generosity become the hinges upon which huge doors matter how small, provides hope for so many people in of history swing. Small acts of kindness are the basic desperate situations. I am so proud of our parishioners building blocks of a life of service to the world in the for being the most generous parish to this campaign name of Christ. throughout the entire diocese. You gave the largest Jesus called his disciples to love him more than parents, amount of money as a parish last year. That said, I am children, and even more than life itself. He challenged also surprised that we have 1,538 parish families and them to take up crosses and follow Him. These words the money raised from St. Andrew the Apostle came must have stunned the disciples, as they do us today. from 246 families. I believe this campaign is one of the Such grand sacrifice seems so far beyond our ability most vital campaigns in the church…and every parish that we are left hopeless and paralyzed. How can we family should make a gift to this campaign. Even if it is even begin to follow Christ when the cost of following is only a pledge of a few dollars a month…a small gift, in pitched so steeply? Jesus' hands, can do much.

If you have not made your gift to the Good News and Notes House of Charity, please use the form included in this bulletin and mail it in to the parish today, as the window is closing for us to reach our parish goal. Remember…sharing a cup of water (or coffee) might be a little thing, unless you are the thirsty one who needs it. So Jesus reminds us that our lives turn on small acts: And small acts of kindness can make a profound difference in another person's life. Remember, in addition to extending a small act of charity, compassion, or making a sacrificial gift to the House of Charity, Jesus reminds us that even a few words, like cups of cold water to the thirsty, can be the turning point of a lifetime. And all of us can offer just a few words like I'm sorry, I love you, you are forgiven, God bless you, or let me help you. These could be the words someone is thirsting for, and just might change their life forever. With a loving and grateful heart, Msgr.

  • HOLY NAME of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST January 1
    SAINT ANDREW THE APOSTLE November 30 A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans (10:8b-18) But what does it say? “The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all have obeyed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ. But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” The Word of the Lord Psalm 19:1-6 The heavens declare the glory of God.

As you think about the name, please consider the criteria below and consider the broader context of our parish: What name would truly inspire us to live our mission in Christ? What name will be a strong, vibrant indicator of whom the parish is now and whom this faith community wants to become in the future? Proposed names should be taken from: Our Lord Jesus Christ, invoked under a mystery of his life or under his name as used in the liturgy or Scripture; The Holy Spirit; The Blessed Virgin Mary under a given title already found in the liturgy; The holy angels; A saint from the list found in the Church’s calendar of memorials and feasts; All names of those who are beatified or name “blessed”. Please avoid the following: A name that is already used many times in the diocese (see list on the back of this paper); Hyphenated names of current parishes (absolutely not permitted); The names of other parishes, Catholic and non-Catholic, in or near the territory of our new parish (because that could cause confusion).

  • Daily Saints - 30 November
    Daily Saints - 30 November Feast of Saint Andrew the Apostle He is the patron saint of anglers, fishermen, boatmen, mariners, sailors, watermen, butchers, farmworkers, fish dealers, fishmongers, happy marriages, miners, pregnant women, rope makers, sailmakers, single laywomen, singers, textile workers, unmarried women, water carriers, women who wish to become mothers and against convulsions, against fever, against gout, against neck pain, against sore throats, against whooping cough. The name "Andrew" means in Greek: "manly, brave". Andrew was born in the village of Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee during the early first century. He was one of the first Apostles and the brother to St. Peter. He was the son of Jonas or John, a fisherman of that town. Much like his younger brother, Simon Peter, Andrew was also a fisherman. They had afterward a house at Capharnaum, where Jesus lodged when he preached in that city. Andrew was known for having good social skills. He was also a disciple of John the Baptist. In the Gospel of Matthew, it is said Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee and saw Andrew and Simon Peter fishing. It is then he asked the two to become disciples and "fishers of men." In the Gospel of Luke, Andrew is not initially named. It describes Jesus using a boat, believed to be solely Simon's, to preach to the multitudes and catch a large amount of fish on a night that originally was dry. Later, in Luke 5:7, it mentions Simon was not the only fisherman on the boat, but it is not until Luke 6:14 that there is talk of Andrew being Simon Peter's brother.

    THE ORDER OF THE HOLY CROSS ORDO 2020 Holy Cross Monastery Edition West Park, NY The Ordo of the Order of the Holy Cross is the official calendar of feasts and fasts observed in our community along with their rank or degree of solemnity. This Ordo follows the calendar authorized by the Chapter of the Order in 2017. It may be used with The Monastic Breviary in either its 1976 or revised forms, with the service books published by the Camaldolese Benedictines, or with any other authorized form of the daily office. Observances listed as First Class feasts begin with First Vespers on the preceding evening and generally take precedence over all other observances. Second Class feasts do not have a First Vespers; their Vespers take precedence over the Saturday Vespers preceding an ordinary Sunday. Third Class feasts are observed with their own office, elements of which are taken either from the Proper or the Common of Saints in the service books used. Fourth Class feasts, also called Optional Commemorations, do not have their own office but may be commemorated at Matins [or Vigils and Lauds] and Vespers or observed at the Eucharist of the day or both. A table of such commemorations recently observed in our Order can be found at the end of this booklet. Local communities or households will need to determine if and how they wish to observe them. In this Ordo, First and Second Class feasts that are impeded are transferred to the next day of lesser rank. Local communities or households may choose to transfer them to some other available day in the week that follows their assigned date.
