ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL
Our sincere thanks for your generosity during the 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal. Your gifts and pledges will
have a lasting impact on or ability to serve the People of God here in Brooklyn and Queens.
As of May 19th our parish had 140 pledges for a total of $52,808 which represents 98% of our parish goal
($53,901). This means that less than 15% of our registered parish families have already pledged almost 100% of our
parish goal! Your generosity is crucial to providing vital pastoral, charitable and educational ministries throughout the
Diocese and all gifts, great or small, help us to do God’s work. We thank ALL who have pledged so far and urge
every family to make an effort to support the Appeal. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ALL MONIES RECEIVED OVER
THE GOAL WILL BE RETURNED TO THE PARISH AND WILL ASSIST US IN MEETING OUR MANY EXPENSES!
May God bless each one of us for responding to this call with so much enthusiasm and generosity!

Next Sunday, June 8th, is the Solemnity of Pentecost. At the 12 noon Mass some adults from our
parish will be confirmed. Please pray for them and their sponsors.

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Dear Parishioners,
This Friday, Jun 6th, marks the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, when Allied forces landed on the beaches
of Normandy and began the liberation of Europe from Nazi domination. Today we still see the power of
evil in our world, as evidenced by the kidnapping of almost 300 Nigerian girls (mostly Christians) by the
Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram. We see it also in the slaughter of innocent people in California by
a deranged 22-year old gunman. An 18th century political leader once said that all that is necessary for
the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. Let us in our time be inspired by the heroes of D-Day
who did whatever they could and made whatever sacrifice was needed to defeat evil. May God bless
them and all who give their lives to promote goodness in the service of others!
Msgr. Mahoney
Queridos Feligreses:
El viernes, 6 de junio se celebra el 70 aniversario de Día-D, cuando las fuerzas aliadas desembarcaron en las playas de Normandía y comenzó la liberación de Europa del dominio nazi. Hoy en día
todavía vemos el poder del mal en el mundo, como lo demuestra el secuestro de casi 300 niñas
nigerianas (la mayoría cristianas) por el grupo terrorista islamista Boko Haram. Lo vemos tambien
en la masacre de gente inocente en California por un desquisiado pistolero de 22 años de edad. Un
líder politico del siglo 18 dijo una vez que todo lo que es necesario para que el mal triunfe es que los
buenos no hagan nada. Dejemos que hoy en día nos inspiren los héroes del Día-D, que hicieron todo
lo posible y dieron miles de sacrificios necesario para vencer el mal. Que Dios los bendiga a todos los
que entregan sus vidas para promover la bondad al servir a los demás.
Mons. Mahoney

PRO-LIFE CORNER – The only REAL controversy about abortion and euthanasia is our SILENCE. Silence
