-10- Feast of Mary

Pope adds Feast of Mary, Mother of the Church to Universal Calendar

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Francis has decreed that Latin-rite Catholics around the world will mark the feast of “the Blessed Mary, Mother of the Church” on the Monday after Pentecost each year. The Gospel reading for the feast, which technically is called a “memorial,” is John 19:25-31, which recounts how from the cross Jesus entrusted Mary to his disciples as their mother and entrusted his disciples to Mary as her children. The decree announcing the addition to the church calendar was released March 3 by the Congrega- tion for Divine Worship and the Sacraments. approved the decree after “having attentively considered how greatly the promotion of this devotion might encourage the growth of the maternal sense of the church in the pastors, religious and faithful, as well as a growth of genuine Marian piety,” the decree said. Cardinal Robert Sarah, prefect of the congregation, noted in a brief commentary published the same day, that Blessed Paul VI in 1964 had formally bestowed the title of “mother of the church” on Mary, but that recognition of her maternal care for the church and for believers had already spanned centu- ries. “The feeling of Christian people through two millennia of history has cultivated the filial bond which inseparably binds the disciples of Christ to his Blessed Mother in various ways,” the cardinal said. The church calendars of Poland, Argentina, St. Peter’s Basilica and some religious orders already set aside the Monday after Pentecost as the feast of Mary, Mother of the Church. Honoring Mary as mother of the church on the day after Pentecost also highlights for Catholics that Mary was present with the disciples on Pentecost, praying with them as the Holy Spirit descended. Cardinal Sarah said that Mary, “from the awaiting of the Spirit at Pentecost, has never ceased to take motherly care of the pilgrim church on earth.” Along with the decree and his comments, Cardinal Sarah also published in Latin the specific liturgical texts for use on the memorial at Mass and in the Liturgy of the Hours. Bishops’ conferences “will approve the translation of the texts they need and, after receiving their confirmation, will publish them in the liturgical books for their jurisdiction,” the cardinal said.

-11- Catholic Ministries Appeal

“Lent is a favorable season for opening the doors to all those in need and recognizing in them the face of Christ. Each of us meets people like this every day” ~Pope Francis

Dear Friends: During the special Lenten season, please allow me to share a special request with you. If you have never con- tributed to the Catholic Ministries Appeal, or if you haven’t contributed in a number of years, please consider making this the year that you join with me and other members of this Parish family and make a donation to the 2018 Appeal. As you may already be aware, 100% of all the money raised by this fund helps support more than 60 pro- grams and services that the people of our church as well as all of the people on Long Island have come to rely on. These programs include services to people in need; affordable housing for senior citizens; people with dis- abilities and our veterans, as well as formation of our priests, deacons, lay leaders, and young people. These are just a few of the programs that help make our church and this Island a vibrant and wonderful place to live. But to help ensure that we can always serve those who come to us for aid, support and spiritual guidance, we need help from you!

If 100 of our parishioners, who have not supported us in the recent past, made a $25 contribution this year – think about how many more people we could help. If that amount is more than you can manage, consider $5 or $10. Every gift counts and makes a difference in the lives of others!

Miracles Attributed to Pope Paul VI and Oscar Romero

clear way for Sainthood

By Carol Glatz VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Francis has cleared the way for the of Blesseds Paul VI and Oscar Ro- mero. At a meeting March 6 with Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for ’ Causes, Pope Francis signed decrees for the causes of 13 men and women — among them a pope, an archbishop, two young lay- women and a number of priests and nuns. He recognized a miracle attributed to Blessed Paul, who, according Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican secretary of state, will be declared a saint in late October at the end of the Synod of Bishops on youth and discernment. Blessed Paul, who was born Giovanni Battista Montini, was pope from 1963 to 1978. Pope Francis also formally signed the decree recognizing the miracle needed to advance the sainthood cause of Archbishop Romero of San Salvador, martyr. El Salvador’s ambassador to the Holy See, Manuel Roberto Lopez, told Catholic News Service March 7 that the news of the pope’s approval “took us by surprise.” “ They told us before that the process was going well and that all we needed was the approval of the miracle, and it turns out the pope approved it yesterday,” he said. Lopez told CNS that he was happy that Blessed Oscar Romero’s was imminent and that his holiness was recognized alongside one of his earliest supporters. “To see that he will be canonized along with (Blessed) Paul VI, who was a great friend of Archbishop Romero and supported his work, is a great blessing,” Lopez said. The Vatican did not announce a date for Blessed Romero’s canonization. T he pope also recognized the miracles needed for the canonization of: Father Francesco Spinelli of , foun- der of the Sisters Adorers of the Blessed Sacrament; Father Vincenzo Romano of Italy; and Mother Maria Katharina Kasper, founder of the religious congregation, the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ. He recognized the miracle needed for the of Maria Felicia Guggiari Echeverria, a Discalced Car- melite from Paraguay whom Pope Francis has upheld as a model for the youth of Paraguay. Affectionately called, “Chiquitunga,” she died from an unexpected illness in 1959 at the age of 34 before she could make her final vows. The pope also recognized the martyrdom of a 16-year-old laywoman from Slovakia. Anna Kolesarova, who lived from 1928 to 1944 in the eastern town of Pavlovce, was murdered during Slovakia’s occupation by the Soviet army in World War II after refusing sexual favors to a Russian soldier. In causes just beginning their way toward sainthood, the pope signed decrees recognizing the heroic virtues of Polish Redemptorist Father Bernard Lubienski, who entered the congregation in England and then returned to Poland to re- found the Redemptorists there in the 20th century, and Sandra Sabattini, a young Italian lay woman who was active in helping the poor with the Pope John XXIII Community. She was hit by a car and died in 1984 at the age of 22. The pope also recognized the heroic virtues of Antonio Pietro Cortinovis of the Order of Friars Minor Capu- chin (1885-1984) and three Italian women — two who founded religious orders and a laywoman who founded a lay fraternity.

-20- 50th Anniversary

-21- Children and Family Ministry

Children’s Mass Ministry Holy Week Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Birthday blessings for April children on 8th at 9 am family mass

We celebrate the wonderful things Jesus did for us Palm Sunday when we remember how Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem by crowds of people who waved palms and shouted “hosanna”.

“On Holy Thursday evening we will celebrate the Lord’s dinner when he said“This is my body, given for you; this is my blood, which is poured out for you.”

On Good Friday Jesus was arrested and crucified and died. What is going to happen now? Christ is dead and buried

On Holy Saturday, Jesus is risen, he is alive forever, Alleluia meaning “praise the Lord " Friday was Sad, but Sunday was Glad! Dear God thank you for what you did for us through Jesus to give us life, hope and Easter joy. Amen.

Easter Novena Cards Low Gluten Hosts are available in the Church and are available at every Mass Rectory office. Ask the priest when you receive Holy Communion.
