MONTHLY ROSARY SOCIETY MEETING

THURSDAY, JANUARY 9 AT 2PM IN HEAFEY HALL

JOIN US FOR BIBLE STUDY MONDAYS WITH FR. REPLOGLE Every Monday morning after the 9 am mass for the praying and studying of the scriptures. Using the coming Sundays readings we prepare our minds and hearts for the week and also grow deeper in the knowledge of God’s Word. Everyone is welcome to attend – just come down to Heafey Hall after the 9 am morning mass.

WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN OUR BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY The next gathering Tuesday, January 14 after the 9am Mass

The death of someone close to us can be difficult and challenging. During the meeting we have the opportunity to pray, listen and share. If you are not comfortable sharing…that’s ok! You can just come to pray and listen.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT TO JESUS THROUGH MARY The 20 mysteries of the Holy Rosary embody the life and relationship of Our Savior with his Mother, from the Incarnation to the Resurrection of our Lord, to the Coronation of Our Lady as Queen of heaven and earth. Praying the rosary is meditating on the foundation of our faith: that God so loved man that he gave his Only Begotten Son through the most holy Virgin Mary. God could have sent His Son directly to us, in all His power and glory. But in His infinite Wisdom, he chose a pure human being to bring His Son to the world. The surest way for us to be saved is to implore Mary to intercede for us.

OUR MISSION IS THEREFORE TO: -Increase our love & devotion to Mary by saying the Holy Rosary as often as we can, alone, or in groups,

-Encourage others to get closer to Mary by reciting the rosary and meditating on its mysteries & joining societies honoring Mary, -Congregate and celebrate Mary’s feast days, by attending Mass, doing good works,

ACTIVITIES DURING THE THURSDAY MEETINGS: Praying the Holy Rosary followed by short meditation led by Fr. Rich or Fr. Gildea

Blessing of the birthday celebrants of the month Business of the month (financial report, news, voting on dates, etc.)

Raffle (fund raising). Members are requested to bring some prizes for the raffle and to buy raffle tickets.

We welcome anyone interested in joining the Rosary Society to come to our meetings!

Fr Juan celebrated his farewell mass last Sunday at 1 pm. After 10 years serving our diocese in Saints Peter and Paul, Brooklyn and St Bartholomew Elmhurst, Fr Juan’s bishop has requested he return to the Diocese of La Vega, DR. He will receive his new assignment in January. More than 10 years ago I applied for Fr Juan to come to our diocese and he assisted me while I was pastor at Saints Peter and Paul and here at St Barts. I am grateful for his service and friendship. Anytime he visits NYC Fr Juan knows he will always have a place here at St Barts!
