From the Pastor’s Corner
One Parish—One Family
As we pause to reflect on the warm summer days gone by and set our sights
on the upcoming, colorful, let us take a moment to contemplate all the blessings
God has given us. A few of these blessings are the merger of the two parishes into
a new vibrant parish, the strength of our parish families and youth group, and the
arrival of Pope Francis to the Archdiocese of New York.
First, I want to thank the families of St. Sylvia for attending last Saturday’s
first parish picnic of our newly formed community. As I walked around speaking and listening to many of you,
the conversations were upbeat and very positive. All of you were so gracious in complimenting the Holy Name
men for their hard work and service to our new parish. Some men from St. Sylvia’s even asked about joining the
Holy Name Society. The food, music, and the children’s face painting were some of the great attractions that
made the day special. The laughter and camaraderie is what truly stood out in my mind.
Second, as you know, Alison Belfance, our former coordinator of religious education, left the parish this
summer so that she could work closer to home. What a blessing she was over the past few years. That made me
scramble quickly over the summer months to find a new coordinator. After interviewing some very extraordinary
and talented people, I selected Ellen Farina. Ellen comes to our parish family with seventeen years of experience
in religious education. I know that with your support and prayers, Ellen will be there for our children every day
with an open and warm heart.
This brings us to our parish families and youth group. I ask all of you, if you have not already done so, to
get active in our beautiful parish. There are many parish ministries that are listed in our bulletin and on our
website. By being an active member you will bring new ideas to our societies, which will enable them to grow
spiritually and socially. The growth of these societies will help our parish to be more pro-active rather than
reactive as we face the future together.
As in every community, the parish youth group is vital to the success and growth of our parish. I am very
impressed so far with the enthusiasm and direction that our youth leaders are providing. Activities such as
Christmas caroling, soup kitchen visits, our annual “lock-in,” and letter writing to seniors, are just some of the
things that our youth group works on. Pope Francis asks us to reach out in this “Year of Mercy” most especially
to the underprivileged and the poor. Putting our love and knowledge into action is one of the many aspects of
Catholic Social Teaching.
Third, this brings me to Pope Francis’ first ever visit to the United States of America. This trip is a
pre-cursor to his October meeting in Rome concerning the Family. Pope Francis is traveling around the world
trying to gather information about the needs of the family in society. Next week he will pray at St. Patrick’s
Cathedral, visit the United Nations, speak to a group of Catholic School children in Harlem, and say Mass at
Madison Square Garden. Fr. Xavier and I will lead a group of eighteen pilgrims from our newly formed parish
and make the pilgrimage on Metro North to New York City. Once we arrive at Grand Central Station, we will
begin a prayerful walk across midtown to Madison Square Garden. This will be our first pilgrimage for our newly
formed parish. History in the making!
In conclusion, I want to thank you for making our parish a model for other parishes. As we walk together
in this “Year of Mercy” and face many challenges that lay ahead, let us call on the power and grace of the Holy
Spirit to strengthen and guide us.
Thank you for all you do!
God Bless,
Fr. Pat
