OUR LADY OF PEACE
BROOKLYN, N.Y.
From the Pastor’s Desk . . .
Pope Francis visits the United States !
There has been much coverage in the media,
announcing that from September 22nd to September 27th, our Holy Father, Pope Francis will make
his first visit to the United States with gatherings
in Washington, D.C., New York City and Philadelphia. As ‘Christ’s Vicar’ on earth he will gather with the
faithful of the church with liturgies scheduled at the Basilica of
the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, in Washington, D.C., at Madison Square Garden in New York City and at
the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul in Philadelphia. As an
‘instrument of God’s peace,’ he will meet with President
Obama, he will address a Joint Session of the United States
Congress and will give an Address to the United Nations General Assembly.
His ‘Apostolic journey’ will also include several occasions
of special significance, most notably for our Franciscan family,
will be the Canonization of Junipero Serra (1713-1783) a
Franciscan friar who founded the first nine of twenty-one Spanish missions in California from San Diego to San Francisco.
The canonization will take place at the Basilica of the National
Shrine in Washington, D.C., and the invitation has been extended to the Franciscan friars to concelebrate at the Mass of canonization with the Holy Father. This will be the first canonization
to take place here in the United States, and Fr. Orlando and myself will both be present for this liturgy with the Holy Father.
Significant to our New York area will be the Holy Father’s
visit to ‘Ground Zero.’ While here in our city, a ‘Multireligious Service at the 9/11 Memorial’ will be conducted.
Bishop James Massa, who is well known to us here at Our Lady of Peace, is involved with the planning of that celebration
because of his extensive ministry regarding inter-faith relations.
He has extended a personal invitation for Fr. Brian Jordan of
our staff, to participate at that service. Fr. Brian was very involved during the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the World
Trade Center, stepping in to fill the void left by the death of Fr.
Mychal Judge, the Franciscan who, served as a chaplain in the
New York City Fire Department. It was while serving in that
capacity that he was killed, becoming the first certified fatality
of the September 11th attacks. Fr. Brian continues to hold the
position of chaplain to both the Police and Fire Departments.
While in Philadelphia, our Holy Father will join with families from around the world (including a contingent from Our
Lady of Peace Church), to pray, learn and celebrate the ‘gift of
the family.’ He will preside at the mass for the conclusion of
the ‘World Meeting of Families.’ An international event , organized by the Pontifical Council for the Family, this is the 8th
World Meeting of Families.
True to the name ‘Francis’ that our Holy Father chose, like
Saint Francis of Assisi, he continues to be an ‘instrument of
peace.’ Let us pray that his journey to our great nation be a safe
and enriching experience for us all. May God hold him securely
in the palm of His hand, and may all those who have the opportunity of being present for the many services at which he will
preside, be renewed in spirit, filled with joy, and in turn continue to be ‘instruments of God’s peace.’
Sincerely, Fr. Pat

celebration will begin on Friday evening, September 4th, with
the praying of the Rosary at 7:00 p.m. in the church. Following
the rosary, the church will remain open until 11:00 o’clock, during which time, the custom of ‘serenading’ the Blessed Mother
with music and song will continue.
On Sunday, September 6th, the celebration will continue
with the 11 o’clock mass which will be followed with a ‘Street
Procession’ through the parish, and will end at the Gym on First

All are welcome!
