From the Desk of The Pastor

August 29th, 2010
Twenty-Second Sunday of Ordinary Time


Hi, it’s me again.

I hope this summer has been a time of rest and comfort for you. As I begin my 3rd column from the North country, I realize that summer is fast coming to a speedy conclusion. So together we say, where has the summer gone? I miss you all. You are in my prayers every day at Mass. Lets continue to pray for each other.

Today we seek to praise God as we humbly acknowledge the gifts he has given us. Humility is a moral virtue that helps us counter our human tendency toward exaggerated pride. So we recognize and celebrate our talents because we acknowledge God as their source, and his praise as their purpose.

There is need for true humility and the blessedness of generous sharing with the needy. All that we have is a gift from God and therefore we must use these God given gifts to help others.

We must admit that we are sinners. We do not know everything and that we do not always do everything correctly. However, we are made in the image and likeness of God and are called to help build up the Kingdom of God with our God given gifts.

We are of value because we are loved by God, and redeemed by Jesus. We are called to connect with and serve the homeless, the handicapped, the elderly, the impoverished—the street people of the world.

Governor Christian Heater (Massachusetts) thought he deserved another piece of chicken and he said, “Do you know who I am? I’m the governor of this state.” The woman said, “I’m the lady in charge of this chicken. Move along, mister.”

Finally, we are looking for more members for our Parish Council. This committee serves as an advisory group to assist the pastor in his decision making, as well as informing the pastor of ideas, thoughts, and concerns of fellow parishioners. Council members are asked to commit to a three year term. You may submit your name or another’s by contacting Bob Chamberlain, the Chairperson, or by calling the rectory, or e-mailing Fr.Hugh.Grace@archny.org.

Carry On.

From the Desk of Deacon Tom:

Please accept my sincere thanks for the lovely ceremony on Divine Mercy Sunday at St. Boniface. Special thanks to Father Grace for his continuous spiritual guidance throughout my diaconal ministry, and to Kay Kelly for organizing the events that placed my picture on the "Religious Education Wall of Fame." It was such a pleasure meeting so many people at the end of the 9:00 Mass and also worshipping with all of you at the 11 AM Mass. It was also a very satisfying experience preaching on my favorite topic: Divine Mercy and the Doubting Thomas. Thank you all for a wonderful day. Deacon Tom Colton

Due to scheduling conflicts, the monthly rosary and Eucharistic Adoration, normally scheduled for the first Wednesday of the month at 8 PM, will instead be transferred to the second Wednesday during the months of May and July. Please mark your calendars for Wednesday, May 12, right after the anticipated Holy Day Mass for the Ascension, and for Wednesday, July 14, at the usual hour of 8 PM. Other than these two months, we still meet on the first Wednesday of the month as stated on the front cover of the bulletin. It is great to see attendance at this ministry of worship growing. Thanks for your continuous support.

Deacon Tom Colton
