From the Pastor’s Desk….
Welcome! Fr. John Gribowich
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio has assigned a newly ordained priest,
Reverend John Gribowich, to our Parish. Fr. Gribowich is a very
fine priest who “would seek to be a servant to the people who are
entrusted to him and to ‘really listen’ to their needs”. He loves music and liturgy. He is very enthusiastic to serve the people of God.
We are blessed to have Fr. Gribowich with us and we warmly welcome him to St. Nicholas of Tolentine.
In the first reading God’s Spirit enters prophet Ezekiel, and he is
summoned to preach to rebellious people. Jesus in today’s Gospel
goes to his own hometown where he is rejected by his family and
town people. But he went forward. We all have experienced disappointments and rejection in our lives. It helps us if we can see the
disappointments and rejection as only temporary setbacks and turn
to God to find our strength in Him.
Saint Paul in the second reading, tells us that he suffered a lot because of some “thorn in the flesh”. He speaks about a physical ailment of some kind that seriously affected his ministry. He begged
the Lord to take it away but the answer he got from the Lord was:
“My Grace is sufficient for you for power is made perfect in
weakness” (2 Cor 12:9). I believe what this means is that sometimes our suffering can be a blessing to us, although it may not
seem that way at the time.
The central message of the readings is that we should not give up
speaking the truths and values of our faith. We are called not to be
perfect but to be faithful.
Happy Fourth of July. We celebrate and give thanks to God for
the gift of our freedom and independence. As Christians and citizens
of the world, we are called to use our freedom in ways that help
and heal others, rather than hurt and destroy them. May God help
our nation to walk in the way of peace and justice.
God bless you,
Fr. John Francis

WELCOME FR. JOHN GRIBOWICH!
Fr. John Gribowich was born in Trenton, N.J.,
36 years ago, but grew up in Pennsylvania as
a member of St. John the Evangelist Church in
Morrisville. He was the only son of the late
John and Louise Gribowich. He graduated from De Sales
University, Center Valley, PA with a bachelor’s degree in
history and theology. Fr. John graduated from St. Joseph
Seminary, Yonkers with a master of divinity degree and a
bachelor of sacred theology degree as well. He was attracted to the priesthood and grew involved with the
church. He was an altar server, joined a youth group and
played modern liturgical music. He also became a member
of the Knights of Columbus and volunteered at a soup
kitchen. Fr. John plays guitar, loves jazz and Bob Dylan
and thinks that “music is a great source for him in experiencing God.”
St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church is
having a Blood Drive on July 12th
from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm in Tolentine Hall. Please remember to eat/
sleep well and always to take good care of yourself. Below is some important information regarding how giving blood helps to save lives:
Red Cells - carry oxygen to the body’s organ &
tissues needed by surgery, trauma, cancer and
chemotherapy patients, accident, burn victims
and at-risk infants. Plasma - is the liquid
through which blood cells, proteins, enzymes,
nutrients and hormones “swim”. Platelets - act
like band-aids to form clots and stop bleeding. It
is very important to know that the blood is
perishable just like milk, red cells lasts for 42
days; platelets last for 5 days; plasma can be
frozen for up to a year.
All you need to bring is identification and
your love for your neighbor. We need everyone to help save lives .
REMEMBER - YOUR PINT CAN HELP 3
LIVES!!!
OUR PARISH GIFT SHOPPE is open on Sundays
from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Stop by and browse before or after Mass.
