Saturday 24 June 2017

This Sacrament is intended for those with serious or chron-ic illness, those who have been diagnosed with or who are undergoing treatment for grave disease, and for those who are bearing the burden of advanced years.

The Lord Jesus is operative with his graces of spiritual comfort and psychological consolation if not outright physi-cal healing (always a possibility) in the divine gift of this Sacrament.

SPIRITUAL ADOPTION PROGRAM

A Reminder

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion. Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Please remember to pray daily for your Spiritual Adopted Ba-by and the baby’s mother and father.

During your earthly life this spiritually adopted child of yours will be known only to God but in the world to come it is hoped that you will meet the child whose life was spared by your prayers and spend eternal happiness with them.

Month 4 Thank you for praying for me. I’m bigger and

stronger now. I’m about 6 inches

long and I weigh 4 ounces. When mommy goes to the doctor, she

can even listen to my heartbeat. I

hope that one day I will run and play with friends like

you.

May 26, 2017 Month of Our Lady

Dear Holy Child Parish members, Congratulations to Holy Child Parish on surpassing your goal for the Renew + Rebuild Capital Campaign! Along with your pastor, Father Travers, I am deeply grateful to those of you who made a commitment to this important endeavor. Your parish contributed to the overwhelming success of Block I, which has raised 109% of their cumulative target. The mission and ministry of the Church depend on strong parish communities. Thanks to the generosity of the Holy Child Parish community, we can ensure that our parishes and archdiocese remain strong, and guarantee a solid foundation for our future. Through your dedication, the archdiocese can serve the 2.6+ million Catholics across our ten counties. Together, with God’s grace, we will Renew + Rebuild! With prayerful gratitude, may I remain, Faithfully in Christ, Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan Archbishop of New York
