and the Celtic Spirituality that formed her.”
•
Mardi Gras Party - Change of Date… Our “potluck” pre-Lent parish party will take place on Friday, February 13, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. in St. Monica Hall. Join us for
this pot luck supper as we bring the three language communities of our parish together right before Lent begins.
We invite you to participate in a “fun social” and to help
with the necessary preparations. For information see Ann
Andre, Emily Avila, Gladys Cruz, Sr. Ellen Glavey or
Julia Joa.
•
Ash Wednesday - February 18… to begin the season
•
Gregorian Chant Mass - Sunday, February 22…
of Lent we will offer Mass at 9:00 a.m. in English and a
Tri-lingual Mass at 7:30 p.m. (ashes will be distributed at

service.
Our first Chant mass was well received and well attended.
We will be celebrating another Chant Mass on the First

Sunday obligation.
The Helping Hands Food Pantry sends a special thank
Do you (or someone you know) live alone?
you to the Haitian parish community for the flea market which
they held at Monica Hall after Masses on Sunday, November
30, 2014, to benefit the food pantry. The market raised $205
which will be used to buy food for those in need. Thank you
Ms. Wilda Mentor and her team who organized this successful
event.
Would you like a daily phone call just to say hello? St.
Augustine has a "buddy" network up and running, and we

Mid-Morning Prayer ("Terce")… Sunday mornings
at 10:15 AM in the Tower Library Room; doors open at 10:00
AM. Entire service lasts about 15 minutes and is chanted in
Latin (booklets with translations are provided). ALL ARE
WELCOME to join in this uplifting act of prayerful worship.
Singing the Readings at Mass -- Chant Toolbox
Workshop Series II… Learn the time-honored practice
of chanting/intoning the Readings for Mass – a technique that's
equally as beautiful in the vernacular as it is in Latin. Three
sessions on Tuesday evenings, February 3rd, 10th, and 17th,
from 7:15 PM to 8:45 p.m. in the Rectory. Lectors and Schola
members are especially invited; but ALL ARE WELCOME.
(Speak to Gail the cantor after Mass; or email her at StAugustineRC.NotaBene@GMail.com).
The Key Message… in Sunday’s readings is “Repent.”
This is a message for all times and all peoples. One of the
greatest evils repeated throughout human history and demanding repentance is genocide, and one of the worst examples of
genocide was the Jewish holocaust during WWII. Amazingly,
however, the holocaust also gave us some of the greatest lessons of human endurance, faith, hope, and love. On Sunday,
February 8th, Pax Christi Metro New York is hosting Etty, a
one-woman play about Etty Hillesum, one of the holocaust’s
greatest messengers of those lessons. Etty was a young Dutch
Jewish woman living in Amsterdam during World War II who
wrote prolifically about her loves, her work, her deep faith,
and her moment in history. In the process, she challenges us to
rethink questions of resistance and humanity and to consider
our won responsibility in today’s world of fear and struggle.
Susan Stein will perform and lead a discussion in St. Joseph’s
church, Sixth Avenue between Washington Place and Waverly
Place in Greenwich Village, starting a 2:30 p.m. Reserve your
space now by contacting the PCMNY office at
info@nypaxchristi.org or 212-420-0250 or by going to
www.nycharities.org.
Golden Age Club… meets monthly our next meeting to
be announced soon. All 50+ welcome!
