    If you were at mass with us on Palm Sunday, Saturday, April 13th at 5pm and Sunday, April 14th at 7pm you probably participated in the book signing for Fr. Patrick's book, my Easter Companion. Thank you so much for your support and for making the book signing a success. If you missed us on Palm Sunday, no worries. The books are available in the rectory for a donation of $15-$20. You can also click here to purchase a copy on Amazon. Father will gladly autographs it for you. The proceeds from the book sale will provide water to help the Seminary, which Fr. Patrick and all of our Ghanian priests attended remain open. So even if you do not want a book, make a donation to this great cause.  Thank you again for your support.

Grieving Parents Retreat May 18, 2019

Of all the pains that life can hand us, arguably one of the most searing is the death of a child. As Jesus joined his distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus after his crucifixion, we ask him to join each of us in this ministry as we continue on our difficult journeys from grief to the healing peace that we, like Jesus’ disciples, can find in the Eucharistic community.

To meet the spiritual needs of parents whose children of any age have died by any cause—no matter how long ago—the Family Life Office offers the Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents. A unique, faith-based program providing spiritual retreats for grieving parents offered by grieving parents, the Emmaus Ministry offers a safe place where you can find peace, comfort, and hope, at least for a time. The entire retreat focuses on the parents’ personal spiritual journey, where one can engage as much or as little as one wants.

or (646) 794-3191

Confirmation for Childen with Special Needs

On Sunday, April 28th, Cardinal Dolan celebrated Confirmation Mass for children in our Archdiocese with Special Needs. It was one of the most moving and powerful experiences for me personally. Ten of our students participated. We congratulate all of them. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen them. Please see their pictures below.
