FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER  April 24, 2016
TRUE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
Can you imagine a world such as the one put before us in today’s scripture readings? Communities
of believers everywhere would support and encourage one another and be identified as Christians by the
way they love each other. It would be a world with
no tears, no death and mourning, no crying out in
pain. “Behold, I make all things new,” we hear the
Son of God say in the second reading from the book
of Revelation (21:5).
Is this world of John’s vision only imaginary?
Are these faithful followers for whom Jesus prayed
only a savior’s dream? Today they are put before us
as a worthy goal. How much closer can we come to
this vision of a true Christian community in our lives
today?

Dear Parishioners,
Our Parish Anniversary Committee is beginning to take shape. Please spread the word that there will
be a “Homecoming Celebration” of our 125th Anniversary on Sunday, September 25th, at the 12:00pm
Mass.
This Mass will begin a yearlong observance of our being a community of Faith here in Bay Ridge
since September 24, 1891, when Bishop John Loughlin sent Father Martin Loftus to establish a new parish
between St. Michael on 42nd Street and St. Patrick on 95th Street.
This Tuesday, April 26th, will be the 150th Anniversary of the Redemptorist Congregation’s having
received the picture of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. Our parish congratulates our neighbors on 59th Street
on this joyful anniversary.
I have an appointment on Tuesday to place a railing in our sanctuary for the benefit of those who
would feel more secure on the sanctuary steps.
At last week’s Project Andrew nine young men came to reflect on the possibility of a call to
priesthood. Eight priests also came and shared their vocation stories. Please keep these young discerners in
your prayers.
Thank you to all who have made a gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal. When tax returns are issued we
usually see a spike in participation.
I hope you all have a good week.
Let’s pray for each other

your hearts are restless, always searching for a treasure which can satisfy their thirst for the infinite?”
