PAGE TWO NOVEMBER 14, 2021 BEYOND SUNDAY MORNING
Dear Friends and Parishioners of Blessed Sacrament, I write to you as we embark upon the final weeks of Beyond Sunday Morning. As you may have heard at Mass, our current level of weekly offertory allows us to only partially satisfy our budgetary needs. In many cases, particularly in the summer months, we are forced to rely on savings or the generosity of a few parishioners to pay the necessary bills. One cannot budget a household in such a manner, and we are limited when budgeting for our spiritual home. Your commitment to our campaign can make all the difference. I prayerfully request that we join together as a community of faith to ensure this parish’s vibrancy for many years to come. I close by requesting that in gratitude of the blessings God has bestowed, you consider Blessed Sacrament in your monthly expenses, if you are able. This support can be the price of a cup of coffee or more, depending on your circumstances and current financial obligations. We truly mean it when we say that every little bit helps. We now offer an easy and secure online giving option that takes no more than a few minutes to complete. If interested, you can access the giving portal at https://blessedsacramentsi.churchgiving.com/. If you wish to receive envelopes or learn more about our efforts, please contact the rectory at (718) 442-1581. I thank you for your trust and generosity in this great mission and look forward to sharing our success in the weeks ahead. Cordially in the Lord, Msgr. Ferdinando Berardi

PAGE FOUR FROM THE CARDINAL November 14, 2021 World Day of the Poor Month of the Faithful Departed Year of St. Joseph Dear friends in the Lord: At this time of year, in the month of November, we, as individuals, families, parishes and a nation come together to offer thanks to the Lord for the many blessings He has given us. It is also the occasion when we look to give something back to those who are poor. For 104 years, Catholic Charities has been serving all New Yorkers in need by making available a range of services that provide help and create hope for the most vulnerable among us, Catholics and non-catholics alike. Beginning in 2017 with the centennial of catholic Charities, I was pleased to inaugurate the Catholic Charities Campaign for Charity and Justice. This is not a new collection. It is a transformation of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development Funds raised offer grants to parish and community groups to further the social ministry of the Church here at home. Awards are made to projects that are founded on the core Catholic belief in the dignity of each person, as made in the image of God, and try to advance Catholic Charities mission to build a more just and compassionate society. A key feature is that a significant portion of the funds raised will provide a number of SEEK (search for education, elevation and knowledge) grants to our parishes. I am happy to share th21t, due to your characteristic generosity last year, more than 25 parishes and community-based works of charity across the archdiocese were able to receive grants of $336,000 to serve our neediest neighbors. It seems providential that this offering is being collected on November 21, just a week after the World Day of the Poor. The connection is so clear. Your support makes a real difference for people living in poverty across our archdiocese. As I write to you today, I ask you to consider a sacrificial gift to this fourth annual Catholic Charities Campaign for Charity and Justice. Visit www.catholiccharitiesav.org/cci/ to learn more. With gratitude and prayerful best wishes to all for a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving, I am, Faithfully in Christ, Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan Archbishop of New York
