**************
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
“Seek the Lord while he may be found, call him
while he is near…Let him turn to the Lord for mercy;
to our God who is generous in forgiving.”… “The
reign of God is like the case of the owner of an estate
who went out at dawn to hire workers for his
vineyard.”
The parables of Jesus can be entertaining, but are also
informative. The Bishop Francis Xavier Nguyen said
this parable indicated Jesus was not a good
businessman, paying the last hired the same wage as
the first. But remember, it was the agreed upon wage.
On countless street corners we find ‘day laborers’
seeking employment. They are looking for what
everyone needs - work and support for themselves and
their families. How many are cutting our lawns, raking
our leaves, harvesting food for our tables. They are not
anonymous or faceless people. They are part of us.
How many are filling the pews of our church,
worshipping the merciful and loving God, continuing
to build His kingdom among us. May we discover
Christ in them and be a welcoming people, as with
them we seek the Lord while He may be found, and is
as near as the person praying alongside of us.
We’d like to thank everyone who signed up to be
Hospitality Ministers “Ushers” these past couple of
weeks. Your help is vital to our church life and we’re
very grateful.
We would like to see even more of you participate,
particularly during the 5:30 pm Saturday Vigil and the
9:00 am Children’s Mass.
Please look for the sign-up sheets in the Narthex and
get involved! For more volunteer opportunities please
stop by the office or call us at 212-741-1274.

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will.
