Prayers for Peace to Our Lady Queen of Peace:
Wednesdays after the 8:30 a.m. Mass.
The Holy Father
speaks…..
If it is assumed that we all belong
to human nature, prejudices and
falsehoods can be overcome and an understanding
of the other according to a new perspective can
begin.
Progress has been made in interreligious dialogue.
We must listen to one another as not only a condition
but a duty in acknowledging the values of others
and in shedding a light on shared beliefs.
At the heart of everything is the need for an
adequate formation so that, steadfast in one’s own
identity, we can grow in mutual knowledge.
Perhaps now more than ever such a need is felt,
because the most effective antidote against all forms
of violence is education towards the discovery and
acceptance of differences.
The Legion of Mary: Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. in the
Basilica Conference Center / Room 1.
Prayers for Vocations: Thursdays after the 8:30 a.m.

in helping Italian immigrants.
She will receive the PRO ECCLESIA ET PONTIFICE CROSS
on Sunday November 1, 2015

It is a special tribute when the Holy Father
singles out people to honor and show his esteem
for their service to the Church and her people.
We are very proud of Porzia and wish her every blessing.
Msgr. Ronald T. Marino, Pastor
You Are Invited
We wish to invite all our parishioners to the Mass for the
Dedication and Blessing of St. Joseph Chapel and Columbarium
on Sunday, November 1, 2015 at 12 noon.
His Excellency, Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio will celebrate
the Mass along with our priests.
On that Sunday the 12 noon Mass will take place in the new Chapel.
Please plan on joining us for this historic occasion.
By that date the work will be 90% complete except for the new elevator which should take
another month to complete. We will still need to purchase many items which will be
used and to receive delivery of those already donated. We will also place all the memorial
dedication plaques on the chairs and other items donated later on in the month. People will
be allowed to visit the new Chapel any time the Basilica is open for prayer.

En Sintonía
La Misión en el Mundo:
No nos podemos quedar indiferentes al saber que millones de pessonas redimidos, como
nosotros, por la Sangre de Cristo, viven aún sin conocer a fondo el amor de Dios, es el
mandato de Cristo cuando vino a la Tierra. La Iglesia católica es misionera por
naturaleza y por lo tanto la evangelización constituye un deber, un derecho y una
obligación de cada uno de sus miembros que somos nosotros, los fieles.El Señor nos
llama a compartir con otros los bienes que poseemos, en primer lugar el tesoro de la fe,
que no podemos considerar un privilegio privado sino un Don que hemos de repartir
con aquellos que no lo han recibido todavíaRecibiréis la fuerza del Espíritu
Santo, que vendrá sobre vosotros y seréis mis testigos en Jesuralén, en
toda Judea y Samaria y hasta los confines de la Tierra (Hech, 1,8). Las
necesidades materiales de las Misiones en el mundo, son muchas y aumentan cada día, los sacrificios económicos
y generosidad de los fieles son indispensables, para testimoniar la caridad. "La esperanza cristiana nos sostiene
en nuestro compromiso a fondo, para la misión universal y nos lleva a pedir, como Jesús nos ha enseñado: "Venga tu Reino, hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo" Los sacerdotes tienen un arduo camino a
recorrer para darle a los fieles la enseñanza clara, valiosa y concreta de las verdades de la fe. Trabajo sin tregua
ni descanso nos pide nuestro Papa Francisco a la Iglesia, la Iglesia que somos nosotros, aunque
no seamos perfectos, nos corresponde a todos y cada uno extender el Reino de Cristo y llevarlo
con nuestro testimonio a donde quiera que vayamos. En este mes dedicado a las Misiones vamos a hacer
un esfuerzo en nuestra economía y vamos a dar lo más que podamos con el ánimo alegre y generoso, sabiendo que
esa aportación servirá para esos misioneros que están en tan lejanas tierras dando su vida, llena de dificultades,
necesidades, y gran soledad, con el amor de llevar "hasta los confines del mundo" la palabra de fe y esperanza en
el conocimiento de Dios. ¡oremos por ellos! y ayudemos, con lo que podamos, porque son inmensas sus
necesidades materiales cuando están al frente de una misión perdida en lejanas tierras, con personas enfermas y
con muy pocos recursos, de esta manera, podemos sentirnos misioneros.
Personas que deseen bautizar a sus hijos en Espanñol, pueden hacerlo el Segundo Sábados de cada mes. Para mayor información
Pueden contactar a Don Valentín Canales los Sabados y los Domingos.

Thank You
to everyone who participated in making our Living Rosary
a beautiful experience!
Lots of people did their part to make an event, such as
this, come together.
October is the Month of the Rosary
We know the Rosary is a prayer that consists of many prayers.
It is a powerful prayer to God, through His mother, Mary.
Why do Catholics pray the Rosary? ( LifeTeen.com for Catholic Youth)
Praying the rosary has been a tradition in the Church for a long time.
The rosary begins with the recitation of the Apostle's Creed, an Our Father, three Hail Mary's and a
Glory Be. Then there are five decades which each begin and end with an Our Father and Glory Be, and
have ten Hail Mary's in between. When you pray the rosary, you meditate on the events in Jesus' life.
There are the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious mysteries.
In various apparitions, Mary has appeared holding a rosary and has asked that we continue to pray this
prayer. She always leads us to her Son, and presents our needs before Him. Prayer is about developing
our relationship with God, and loving Him more, so it makes sense to get to know Him through the
events of the life of Christ that we meditate on during the rosary.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says:
'Meditation engages thought, imagination, emotion, and desire. This mobilization of
faculties is necessary in order to deepen our convictions of faith, prompt the conversion of
our heart, and strengthen our will to follow Christ. Christian prayer tries above all to
meditate on the mysteries of Christ, as in lectio divina or the rosary. This form of
prayerful reflection is of great value, but Christian prayer should go further to the
knowledge of the love of the Lord Jesus, to union with him' (CCC 2708).
Rosaries are not just decorations.
Pope Benedict XVI said, when reciting the Rosary, the important and meaningful moments of salvation
history are relived. When reciting each cycle of the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous
Mysteries we make the Rosary not only "a prayer or a summary of the Gospel and of Christian
life,"(Ingravescentibus malis) but also a collection of the events in the Liturgical Year.
