May 17th—Seventh Sunday of Easter
FROM THE PASTOR…
Dear Parishioners,
Today we rejoice in and with the following children who are making their First Communion at the 11:00 am and 12:30 pm Masses: Vanessa Barroso, Dylan Castaneda, Adyson
Febre, Christopher Gallego, Dasom Jung, Michael Lopez, Aaron Mejia, Axel-Ryan Nzi, Sophia
Park, Kevin Paucar, Tatiana Perdomo, Joshua Ra, Byron Salinas, Jada Santiago, Woori Yi,
Kimberly Zhinin, Yasmin Bravo, Daniel Cabrales, Blanca Campos, Lesly Jimenez, Bryan
Primo, Allison Ramirez, Jasmin Sanchez, Daniel Zambrano.
We thank their parents, families and catechists for bringing them to this special moment of their lifelong faith-journey. May they always remember these words of Pope Francis:
“It is important that children be well prepared for First Communion and that every child makes it, because it is the first strong, strong step of this belonging to Jesus Christ, after Baptism and Confirmation.”
We also welcome, into the family of faith, three children baptized during today’s 11:00
am Mass: Rosie Mari Di Gaetano, Kailyn Daniella Perdomo, Dabree Skylar Castaneda.
May they loyally keep the faith in the years and decades to come.
This coming Thursday, we welcome Bishop Paul Sanchez, Auxiliary of the Brooklyn
Diocese, as we join with Queen of Angels parish in celebrating Confirmation here. We will list
our newly confirmed in next week’s bulletin.
Next Sunday is the Solemnity of Pentecost. At the Spanish Mass, one of our RCIA program members will receive Confirmation, and a baby and her great grandmother will be baptized.
In all these sacramental stages of Christian initiation, we praise God for the increase
and for the “life in the Spirit” that continues the presence of the living Lord in the world today.
