2022 Pasta Night

Posted on by Karin

11/19/2022 Our Parish Holy Name Pasta Night was welcomed back after a two year absence due to COVID.  Over 100 people enjoyed mouthwatering platters of tomatoes and mozzarella, baked ziti, spaghetti and meatballs, peppers onions and sausage, fresh rolls, tossed salad, wines, a delicious cake donated by Glendale Bakery.  But food wasn’t the only attraction of the evening…music, dancing, live performance of Italian songs by our own Maria Flaim, raffles and 50/50 added to the festivities.  A great big thank you to the winner of the 50/50, Tom Donnarumma, for donating his winnings back to the Parish!

Tommy Dobranski

Posted on by Karin
A life-changing request if there ever was any…please read it and if you feel comfortable, please pass it along to your social networks. The more people who see this, the more chances Tommy will have for a donor.
 You all know Tommy Dobranski:
husband, dad, pop-pop, son, brother, family man, colleague, and friend to many.
You may also know or perhaps you are just finding out, he has been very sick with liver cancer.
This cancer has been treated through several ablations, embolizations and immunotherapy, to control tumor growth.
Tom is doing the work, but he needs some help, and he is certainly hopeful and
determined to beat this.
We know it’s a lot to ask, but would anyone be interested in learning more about being his living donor?
Simply put, we need someone soon who is a blood type match: A-, A+ or O and is willing to donate a piece of his or her liver to save his life.
Another main criterion is you need to be between the ages of 18 to 55 years old.
If you are inclined to register, which is the first step, please do so at LivingDonorReg.UPMC.com

2022 Parish Anniversaries Journal Letter/Ad Form

Posted on by Karin

One of the ways we will be celebrating  the anniversaries of our merged parish is to publish a commemorative journal filled with history, pictures, sentiments and well wishes.
Parishioners, families, alumni, friends and neighbors are invited to participate by placing an ad in what will be a wonderful part of this exciting time in our parish history.
Also, if you are comfortable in doing so, why not take a journal ad letter and form, to the stores you visit in Maspeth, Middle Village, Ridgewood and other surrounding areas that would like to be included in the journal.
Your kindness and support, as well as theirs, will be memorialize in this extraordinary tribute to 265 Years of Faith Filled Community in Maspeth!

Una de las formas en que celebraremos los aniversarios de nuestra parroquia fusionada es publicar un diario conmemorativo lleno de historia, imágenes, sentimientos y buenos deseos.
Se invita a los feligreses, familias, ex alumnos, amigos y vecinos a participar colocando un anuncio en lo que será una parte maravillosa de este momento emocionante en la historia de nuestra parroquia.
Además, si se siente cómodo haciéndolo, ¿por qué no lleva una carta y un formulario de anuncio de la revista (haga clic aquí y está disponible en la Rectoría) a las tiendas que visite en Maspeth, Middle Village, Ridgewood y otras áreas circundantes que deseen incluirse en el diario.
¡Su amabilidad y apoyo, así como el de ellos, serán conmemorados en este extraordinario tributo al 265 Años de la Comunidad Llena de Fe en Maspeth!

Governor Hochul’s recent announcement of the expiration of the mask mandate includes our churches and parish offices.  While this means that masks are no longer required in our churches and parish office please continue to take necessary preventive measures to ensure safety and good hygiene.

For now, there is no sign of peace, and Holy Communion is administered with the Host only (the “pew cards” can be found by clicking here and read from your phone or tablet).

Approaching for Communion, please come up in single file, leaving plenty of space between yourself and the person in front of you. We encourage you to receive the sacred Host in your hands; if you wish to receive on the tongue, as is your right, please come up at the end of the line.

It is WONDERFUL to have you all back for Mass!!

Stations of the Cross:  click here
(This is a large file and may take time to download; please be patient)

There are a number of methods for praying the Way of the Cross and
a legitimate and holy variety of prayers, meditations and hymns that
may be employed according to the devotion of the Church. This
booklet contains two complete sets of prayers: a version of the well loved
Via Crucis composed by Saint Alphonsus Ligouri, and a set of
modern meditations composed by Father Stefano Penna, a priest of
the Diocese of Saskatoon, Canada. The second Way of the Cross
includes a “Fifteenth Station,” a meditation on Christ’s Resurrection,
which should be omitted on Good Friday.

 

That We May Imitate What They Contain, And Obtain What They Promise: a consideration of the holy Rosary

That We May Imitate What They Contain,
And Obtain What They Promise:
a consideration of the holy Rosary

–An article by Fr. Joseph Wilson

Seen from outside, Catholicism seems monolithic. Outsiders see a large institution, encrusted with customs and traditions, lists of things one must do, and must not do. It seems to outsiders as though things are pretty much the same wherever one goes, in every Catholic church.

But this is actually not true…  Click to read more
