TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
ȱ
ȱ
Dear Friends –
Next Sunday marks the 15th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. We are planning a special observance. On
Sunday, September 11th, we will toll bells at the hours in which each of the airplanes crashed into the World
Trade Center, the Pentagon, and into the ground in Pennsylvania.
Then, in addition to the masses of the day, our Melita Ensemble featuring Juilliard-trained musicians, violinists Jocelyn Zhu, Mariella Haubs, and Caeli Smith and cellists Mitch Lyon and Ken Kubota, will present a 9/11
Memorial Service after the Sunday evening 5:15 pm mass. They will present “String Quartet in C Major, Op.
163 by Franz Schubert and “Cavatina” from String Quartet, Op. 130 by L. v. Beethoven. Please join us for this
special event.
During his visit to Ground Zero last September, Pope Francis said Ground Zero was a place where “we
shed tears” when thinking of those who were victims of “a mindset which knows only violence, hatred and revenge.” This is a place, he continued, where “we weep out of a sense of helplessness in the face of injustice, murder and the failure to settle conflicts through dialogue.”
Pope Francis said he hoped their presence together will be a powerful sign of their shared desire to be a
force for reconciliation in this community and throughout the world. He went on to warn against attempts to create “a rigid uniformity,” saying “we can and must build unity on the basis of our diversity of languages, cultures
and religions. Together, he continued, “we are called to say “no to every attempt to impose uniformity and “yes”
to a diversity accepted and reconciled.” However, he pointed out that this can only happen if we uproot from our
hearts all feelings of hatred, vengeance and resentment.
Let us commend our prayers and hope for peace in our world, free from terrorism and hatred to Saint
Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
Peace – Father Gil

The Leopard
September 20, 6:30 - 8:30 PM—Parish Center
Set in the 1860s, The Leopard tells the spellbinding story of
a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution. The dramatic
sweep and richness of observation, the seamless intertwining
of public and private worlds, and the grasp of human frailty
imbue. The Leopard with its particular melancholy beauty
and power, and place it among the greatest historical novels
of our time.

Poets@StPaul Gathering
Monday, September 12 - 7:00pm - 9:00pm
We are blessed to have three wonderful choirs regularly
singing at The Church of St. Paul the Apostle:
While society prizes what is “normal,” the soul years for
what is creative, unusual and different. In crossing barriers
and borders, the soul re-experiences what it means to be
alive; it reminds itself of its orientation to liveliness and its
resistance to uniformity. All are welcome to this event: poetry writers, poetry lovers and the poetry curious.
The St. Paul Choir: singing on Sundays at 10:00am
Coro Hispano: singing on Sundays at 12:30pm
The Young Adult Choir and Ensemble: Sundays at 5:15pm
We meet, read and discuss at the parish center of St Paul the
Apostle Church, 405 W 59th Street (behind Time Warner
Center). Free and open to the public.

Religious Education for Children Ages 3-5
St. Paul’s offers a wonderful program for three-to-five year old
children called the “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.” The Catechesis began in Italy and has spread across the United States and
is rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in an "atrium,"
a room prepared for them, which contains simple yet beautiful
materials that they work with independently and in small groups.
The program is offered on Sunday mornings from 9:45 - 11:30am
from September - May. Please contact Director of Religious Education Hernan Sanchez at 212-265-3495 x341 to register.
First day of classes
On September 18th after the 10:00am mass, we are having the
opening of school year orientation meeting in the church during
this time the students will meet their teachers, find out the class
they have been enrolled and classroom.
All students and parents are asked to gather in the front of the
Church to meet their teachers.
Catechetical Sunday and Commissioning of our Catequists
This year Catechetical Sunday, September 18th will focus on the
theme, “Prayer: The Faith Prayed.” Here at St. Paul the Apostle,
20 members of our community have been delegated to teach our
children and will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry on September 25th. We want to congratulate them for being
witness to the Gospel as well as to rededicating themselves to this
mission as a faith community.
Few Co-teachers for Religious Education Needed for
2016-2017
Have you thought about being a catechist, but have never given it
a try? Would you like to join us in sharing your Catholic faith
with the children of St. Paul’s parish? Are you willing to commit
yourself to be present with your students for classes from September to May? However, there is some latitude for your personal
schedule because you will be sharing the teaching responsibility
with another teacher for the 30 Sunday’s sessions scheduled during the school year from 11:00-12:30 PM. The heart of our program is the dedication of our catechists.
Co-teachers will be needed in the fall for the
following classes:
Pre-communion class (1st & 2nd graders);
Post-Communion class (3rd, 4th & 5th graders)
Training and ongoing support are provided with opportunities for
personal spiritual growth. If you feel serious about this calling and
ministry, please contact me as soon as possible. The interview
process for catechist is going on now.
Vincentians of St. Paul the Apostle
Our mission is to help one another grow in faith by
encountering Christ in each other through our service to those in need.
Other volunteers’ opportunities:
Substitute teachers, hall monitor, clerical help, and refreshment
committee. Please consider this important ministry to our youth.
If you have a serious interest, call Hernán Sánchez in the Religious Education Office 212-265-3495, extension 341
or E-mail: hernan.sanchez@stpaultheapostle.org.

Queridos amigos en Cristo –
El próximo domingo se cumple el 15 aniversario de los ataques del 9/11. Estamos planeando una celebración especial. El domingo, 11 de septiembre vamos a sonar las campanas de peaje en las horas en las que cada uno de los aviones se
estrellaron contra el World Trade Center, el Pentágono, y en el suelo en Pennsylvania.
Entonces, además de las misas del día, nuestro Ensemble Melita con músicos entrenados Juilliard, violinistas Jocelyn Zhu, Caeli Smith y Mariella Haubs, violonchelistas Mitch Lyon y Ken Kubota, presentará un programa memorial
después de la misa de 5:15 pm. Por favor, únase a nosotros para este evento especial.
Después de visitar el Memorial de la Zona Cero donde ocurrió el ataque terrorista de las Torres Gemelas de Nueva
York y de saludar a las familias de las víctimas de este atentado ocurrido en el 2001, el Santo Padre participó en un emocionante encuentro interreligioso donde se leyeron cinco meditaciones por la Paz. El Papa confesó que el dolor en esta Zona
Cero “es palpable”, y sobre los monumentos que ahora ocupan los lugares donde estaban las torres que son fuentes dijo:
“Este lugar de muerte se transforma también en un lugar de vida, de vidas salvadas, un canto que nos lleva a afirmar
que la vida siempre está destinada a triunfar sobre los profetas de la destrucción, sobre la muerte, que el bien siempre despertará sobre el mal, que la reconciliación y la unidad vencerán á sobre el odio y la división.”
“En este lugar de dolor y de recuerdo, me llena de esperanza la oportunidad de asociarme a los líderes que representan las muchas tradiciones religiosas que enriquecen la vida de esta gran ciudad. Espero que nuestra presencia aquí sea un
signo potente de nuestras ganas de compartir y reafirmar el deseo de ser fuerzas de reconciliación, fuerzas de paz y justicia
en esta comunidad y a lo largo y ancho de nuestro mundo. En las diferencias, en las discrepancias, es posible vivir un mundo
de paz. Frente a todo intento uniformizador es posible y necesario reunirnos desde las diferentes lenguas, culturas, religiones
y alzar la voz a todo lo que quiera impedirlo. Juntos hoy somos invitados a decir «no» a todo intento uniformante y «sí» a
una diferencia aceptada y reconciliada.”
Por la intercesión de la Santa Teresa de Calcuta, que Dios concede a nuestra mundo la paz de Cristo.
- Padre Gil
