SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF MARY
We are the Sons and Daughters of Mary formed to pray for
priests. The Church in the Archdiocese of New York and in
many other parts of the world are in critical need of dedicated and holy priests. We invite you to join us every
Tuesday evening in the Divine Mercy Perpetual Adoration Chapel here at Holy Child from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Among our prayers for priests, the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet are prayed. Jesus is calling for priests and has
asked us to pray for priests in Scripture and through his
saints. Come join us to pray that the hearts of men will
hear the call and respond to the call. We welcome you on
Tuesdays at 8 pm in the Divine Mercy Adoration Chapel.
What a wonderful gift to give our Church during this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Divine Mercy!

On behalf of all the members of the AMVETS John R. Tamburri
Jr. Memorial Post 917, all the wounded troops at Walter Reed

brave young men and women. A sincere thank you, to you, and
to all who devote their time and energy bringing smiles and hope
to our brave young men and women who have sacrificed so
much.

Aging . . . the opportunity of a lifetime-developed by Richard P.
Johnson, PhD, is a short course in living agelessly in 12 powerful
lessons. (This program will be given over a two year period.)
Each session will help you tap the wisdom and grace that comes
with learning from the “master teacher” – aging. You’ll discover
the keys to maturing in the way God intended; changing your attitudes, seeking love everywhere, accepting your true self, letting
go of anger, forgiving yourself and others, delighting in connectedness, living in the now, celebrating faith, giving of yourself. Making your feelings work, finding deep meaning and balancing your
life-everything you need to develop your “spiritual vitality.”

March Jubilee Event
PASTORAL VISIT OF OUR ARCHDIOCESAN SHEPHERD
SATURDAY 5 MARCH 5 P.M.
To cap our Jubilee Events, Cardinal Dolan was invited to celebrate the Golden Anniversary Mass on the nearest Sunday to the actual anniversary date, the 17th of May.
Being unable to join us on that date this year, he sent his regrets asking if there
might be another date that would be mutually opportune for him to celebrate Mass
with us within the Jubilee Year. The 5 p.m. Saturday Mass on 5 March 2016 proved
opportune.
Therefore, Cardinal Dolan will be the celebrant of our Saturday 5 p.m. Vigil Mass
here on Saturday 5 March at 5 p.m.
After Mass there will be a reception in the Forum with light refreshments during
which the Cardinal will socialize with us.
ADVISORY to REGULAR ATTENDEES – 5 o’clock Saturday Mass
Because of our invited guest, there is bound to be a higher attendance at the 5 p.m.
Mass on Saturday 5 March 2016.
Be aware that the church and the parking lot will probably not be at their usual comfort levels. To avoid discomfort, early arrival is advised or attendance at another
Mass.
ADVISORY to REGULAR ATTENDEES – 7 o’clock Saturday Mass
Because our guest will be visiting with us after the celebration of the Eucharist at 5,
the parking lot will probably not have the usual number of open spaces; parking for
those incoming to the 7 p.m. Mass may be not as easy as usual. To avoid such, one
might plan on attending another Mass or maybe being at the 5!!!
