It was renewed faith, hope and love for us all. a precious opportunity, particularly in this Holy Year of Mercy, to share with the children the infinite love of our God for each of us, Yours in the Lord, which is made all the more concrete in the great Sacrament of His mercy. Most of the parents of the children also availed themselves Monsignor Anthony of the Sacrament, re-affirming the exhortation parents accepted on the day of their child’s baptism: “You (dear parents) will be the first teachers of your child in the ways of the faith; may you always be the best of teachers, bearing witness to the faith by what you say, and what you do in Christ Jesus our Lord!” I thank Colleen Lang and Laura Brophy and the parents for their fine Our parish seminarians Ryan Amazeen, Michael Hennessy ministry in helping to prepare the children for this special day.

  • The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama by Karen Hudes
    The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama By Karen Hudes Tuesday, December 31, 2013 8:02 (Before It's News) From Karen Hudes Facebook page: Barack Obama is truly not the President of the United States. He is not a powerful person at all. Rather, he is a front man for more powerful entities that hide in the shadows. The real power in the world is not the United States, Russia, or even China. It is Rome. The Roman Catholic Church (Vatican) is the single most powerful force in the world. However, the Vatican has been under the control of it’s largest all-male order, the Jesuits. The Jesuits were created in 1534 to serve as the “counter-reformation” — the arm of the Church that would help to fight the Muslims and the Protestant Reformers. However, they fought with espionage. The Jesuits were expelled from at least 83 countries and cities for subversion, espionage, treason, and other such things. Samuel Morse said that the Jesuits were the foot soldiers in the Holy Alliance (Europe and the Vatican) plan to destroy the United States (Congress of Vienna). Marquis Lafayette stated that the Jesuits were behind most of the wars in Europe, and that they would be the ones to take liberty from the United States. The head of the Jesuit Order is Adolfo Nicholas. His title is Superior General of the Jesuits. The use of the rank “general” is because the Jesuits are, in reality, a military organization. Nicholas, as the Jesuit General, is the most powerful man in the world.

During his twenty- nine years as Bishop (1892-1921), McDonnell dedicated hundreds of churches, schools, and hospitals across Long Island. He founded Catholic Charities, started the diocesan newspaper, The Tablet, and welcomed many religious communities to the Diocese. As the Catholic population grew, Bishop McDonnell was concerned about further cultivating vocations to the priesthood. In the pages of The Tablet, he wrote: All of us are agreed, I believe, that we must take special measures if we would shelter those among our Catholic boys, whom their pastors and confessors would choose as probably called to the priesthood, and protect them from the modern materialistic spirit that pervades the very atmosphere… by placing them apart, educating them with those only who look forward to that same great work in life, the priestly field of labor… In 1891, Brooklyn’s first Bishop, John Loughlin, founded St.
