FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK MASS INTENTIONS (REQUESTED BY) October 30 - November 5, 2017 Dear Parishioners, Mon. 8:15 am Spl. Int. Michael Fong (Family) All Souls Day is a holy day set aside for honoring Tues. 8:15 am +Anna Merola (Merola Family) the dead. The day is primarily celebrated Wed. 8:15 am +Wo On Cheng (Family) in the Catholic Church, but as well in the Thurs 8:15 am +Fernando Di Cesare Eastern Orthodox Church and a few other 10:00 am Parishioners (Fellburn) denominations of Christianity. Interestingly, Fri. 8:15 am +Katie Kwok (Family) the Anglican Church is the largest protestant 7:30 pm +Catalino Migrino (Family) church to observe this religious day. +Lewis Glavina (Diva & John) The Roman Catholic celebration is associated with the doctrine ++Louis & Generosa Rasquinha (Family) that the souls of the faithful, who at death have not been cleansed +Michael Hu (Daughter) from temporal punishment, due to light sins and from attachment +Victoria Chatto (Family) to mortal sins, cannot immediately enter heaven. Therefore, they +Eileen & Nico Smulders (Andrea B.) must be purified of “lesser faults,” and the temporal effects of sin. ++Giovanni & Agnese Jeremiah (Family) Spl. Int. May & Michele Yao (Juliet) The Catholic Church calls this purification “purgatory.” The Spl. Int. Garry Stevenson (Family) universal Christian teaching on Purgatory essentially requires Spl. Int. Carmine Morelli (Diva) belief in two realities: 1) that there will be a purification of Sat. 9:00 am Spl. Int. Dr. Joseph Frederick William (Lanny) believers prior to entering heaven. 2) that the prayers and 5:00 pm +Wenefrida Banea (Perla) masses of the faithful in some way benefit those in this of +Remedios Banez (Perla) purification. We, as Catholics, believe that these souls may be +Lourdes Balbine (Perla) helped by our prayers and by the sacrifice of the Mass. Spl. Int. Jack Warren (Family) Sun. 8:00 am +Deceased CWL Members (CWL) During the month of November here at Holy Cross Parish, we have +Saverio De Bonis (Wife & Family) a long-standing tradition of the following: +Victoria Chatto (Family) All Souls Envelopes: Please take one from the entrance of the ++Fred & Joan Lupia (Family) church (they are also included in your box of church envelopes, 10:00 am +Henry (Hank) Killeen (Family) marked for Nov. 2), write the names of your deceased on the front +Frank Folino (Ada & Family) and, along with your donation, place it in the basket provided in ++Lucia & Annibale Tinnaburi (Ada & Family) front of the altar; or put it in the Sunday collection basket (during +Agostino Velenosi (Wife) the entire month of November). Each of these envelopes will be Noon ++Annunciata & Vittorio Liberatore used as a Mass intention, celebrated by Fr. Chris or myself. Please (Daughter & Family) note: we will not be able to let you know the date on which your ++Gemma & Giuseppe Contestabile Mass will be observed. I encourage you to continue this beautiful (Daugher & Family) practice that help set our hearts and minds in the strong belief +Victoria Chatto (Giuseppina G.) of Christ’s resurrection. This is our spiritual gift, not only for our +Giuseppe Sciortino (Wife) deceased, but also for all the forgotten souls. May they rest in 7:30 pm ++Salvatore & Carmela Laurita (Family) peace! ++Rosina & Giuseppe Villella Our Book of Life will be in the church the whole month of (Teresa Villella & Family) November. You may add, update, or design a family page to place +Corrado & Pantusa Families (Rosa & Family) inside the book. Spl. Int. Reyes Family (Family)
