FROM THE OGLE OFFICE
DE EL PASTOR
Dear Friends:
I wish to offer a word of thanks to all who prepared and attended the Mass of Dedication of our new
Altar and Restored church last weekend and the fine
reception afterwards. It was a historic way to initiate
our 175th Anniversary Year (the “Dosquicentennial”),
and wonderful to see a church filled with close to 500
worshippers. Bishop Sanchez truly made real for us the
Lord’s indwelling in His Temple and the reverent dignity
of this memorable occasion. Bishop Chappetto added
his sense of affection for his home parish and blessed
our food at the reception, along with our episcopal vicar, Very Rev. Thomas Pettei, V.E. The tone was elevated
greatly by the music of the American and Hispanic
choirs. The night would hardly have gone so well without the able assistance of our parish staff and the strenuous efforts of the Anniversary Committee. The reception was particularly joyful under the capable International Food Fest committee. The diocesan TV and press
covered the event, as did our own parish media team.
All in all everyone did their part and the effect was a
vivid manifestation of the Mystical Body of Christ here
in our parish. Thanks to you all.
Meanwhile we do not sit on our laurels. In less
than a month we will host another landmark in our parish history as we become the north Queens church with
the Holy Doors for the Jubilee Year indulgence. On Sunday (not Saturday) December 13 at 5:00 PM Mass, Bishop Cisneros will open the Holy Doors here for the Holy
Year of Mercy. Please join us for this opportunity to
gain indulgences for the souls in purgatory and blessings for all the living.
If you like Latino music, why not stop by the St
Cecilia Mass and dance at St Margaret Mary on 9th St on
Sunday, November 22 at starting at 6 PM. It’s always a
great time. That is just one of several patron saint feasts
this month: San Diego Alcala on Saturday, November
21, and the Vietnamese Martyrs on Sunday, November
22. The saints really are marching in around here!
Queridos Hermanos,
Deseo ofrecer unas palabras de agradecimiento a
todos los que preparan y asistieron a la Misa de la Dedicación de nuestro nuevo altar y la iglesia restaurada pasado
fin de semana y la multa de recepción después. Era una
forma histórica de iniciar nuestro 175o aniversario del Año
(el "Dosquicentennial"), y maravilloso ver a una iglesia llena de cerca de 500 fieles. Obispo Sánchez verdaderamente
hizo real para nosotros la morada del Señor en su templo y
la dignidad reverente de esta ocasión memorable. Obispo
Chappetto añadió su sentido de afecto por su parroquia y
bendijo a nuestra comida en la recepción, junto con nuestro vicario episcopal, Rev. Thomas Pettei, VE. El tono fue
elevado por la música de los coros americano e hispano. La
noche casi no habría ido tan bien sin la ayuda poder de
nuestro personal de la parroquia y los denodados esfuerzos del Comité Aniversario. La recepción fue particularmente alegre bajo el liderazgo capaz del comité de Comidas Internacionales. La televisión diocesana y de prensa
cubrieron el evento, al igual que nuestro propio equipo de
prensa de la parroquia. En general todo el mundo hizo su
parte y el efecto era una manifestación viva del Cuerpo
Místico de Cristo aquí en nuestra parroquia. Gracias a todos ustedes.
Mientras tanto no nos sentamos en nuestros laureles.
En menos de un mes vamos a realizar otro hito en nuestra
historia parroquia como nos convertimos en la iglesia
Queens norte con las puertas santas para la indulgencia
del Año Jubilar. El domingo (no sábado) 13 de diciembre a
la Santa Misa de las 5:00 PM, el Obispo Cisneros abrirá las
puertas santas aquí para el Año Santo de la Misericordia.
Por favor, únase a nosotros en esta oportunidad de ganar
indulgencias para las almas del purgatorio y bendiciones
para toda la vida.
Si les gusta la música latina, ¿por qué no pasar por la
misa y baile de Santa Cecilia en Santa Margarita María la
calle 9 el domingo, 22 de noviembre a partir de las 18:00.
Esa es sólo una de varias fiestas patronales de este mes:
San Diego de Alcalá el sábado 21 de noviembre, y los mártires vietnamitas el domingo, 22 de noviembre Los santos
realmente se marchaban en por aquí!
Dios les cuida,
Mons. Ogle
God love you,
Msgr. Ogle

PARISH BULLETIN BOARD
PRAYERS OF THE WEEK
Christ the King Sunday celebrates Jesus' role as King over
all. However, we must recall that Jesus is King because he
is a servant to all. Jesus' kingship is one of power and
might, but also humility.
During these uncertain times, when the spiritual warfare
is at its height, we take refuge in the Precious Blood of
Jesus. We pray.
The Seal of the Living God
Oh My God, My Loving Father, I accept with love and
gratitude your Divine Seal of Protection.
Your Divinity encompasses in my body and soul for eternity.
I bow in humble thanksgiving and offer my deep love and
loyalty to you my Beloved father.
I beg you to protect me and my loved ones with this special Seal and I pledge my life to your service forever and
ever.
I love you, Dear Father; I console you in these times, Dear
Father.
I offer you the Body, Blood Soul and Divinity of Your
dearly beloved Son, in atonement for the sins of the
whole world and for the salvation of all your children.
Our Thanksgiving Prayer
Good and gracious God, we come before you today united with all who give you thanks and praise. Fill us with
gratitude for your many blessings, both physical and spiritual.
We thank you in particular this day for the gifts of food
and family. Bless this food, Lord, that it may nourish our
bodies. Bless our family, especially those who can’t be
with us today. Also today, we remember those of our
family who have gone to be with you.
Grant us your spiritual blessings and help us pray daily
for the grace to serve you in response to your bountiful
gifts to us. Bless all who serve you throughout the world.
We pray this in the name of Jesus, Your Son, our Lord,
who gives all things freely according to our needs. Continue to bless us and give us your peace. Amen.

SUNDAY 8AM MASS ANTIPHONS
Entrance Antiphon
Dignus est Agnus, qui occisus est, accipere virtutem et
divinitatem et sapientiam et fortitudinem et honorem.
Ipsi Gloria et imperium in saecula saeculorum.
How worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power
and divinity, and wisdom and strength and honor. To him
belong glory and power for ever and ever.
Offertory Antiphon
Postula a me, et dabo tibi Gentes hereditatem tuam, et
possessionem tuam terminus terrae.
Ask of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, and the ends of the earth as your possession.
Communion Antiphon
Sedebit Dominus Rex in aeternum; Dominus benedict
populo suo in pace.
The Lord sits as king for ever. The Lord will bless his people with peace.
Recessional
Vexílla Christus ínclyta Late triúmphans éxplicat: Gentes
adéste súpplices, Regíque regum pláudite. Non Ille regna
cládibus: Non vi metúque súbdidit Alto levátus stípite,
Amóre traxit ómnia. O ter beáta cívitas Cui rite Christus
ímperat, Quæ iussa pergit éxsequi Edícta mundo caelitus!
Non arma flagrant ímpia, Pax usque firmat foedera,
Arrídet et concórdia, Tutus stat ordo cívicus. Servat fides
connúbia, Iuvénta pubet íntegra, Pudíca florent límina
Domésticis virtútibus. Optáta nobis spléndeat Lux ista,
Rex dulcíssime: Te, pace adépta cándida, Adóret orbis
súbditus. Iesu tibi sit glória, Qui sceptra mundi témperas,
Cum Patre, et almo Spíritu, In sempitérna saecula. Amen.
Christ’s flag unfurled in glory raised, triumphing o’er the
serpent’s stings; come humbly forward all ye lands, applauding the great King of kings. No force or threat doth
He need use, not by coersion leadeth He; raised on the
cross He draweth all, with love unto His fruitful tree. O!
Thrice blest city of the Lord, wherein Christ ruleth without dearth; fervently she doth execute His heavenly
edicts to the earth, no fiery weapon can e’er harm, the
peace ’stablished by Jesus’ hand; in happiness and unity,
the ranks of Christ secure do stand. A marriage blessed
by faith in Thee, yields virtuous offspring from the womb;
like seed in fertile soil doth grow, in virtuous homes do
children bloom. We yearn and long to shine on us, thy
light, O sweet and winsome King; all thus submitted to
Thy reign, to us, Thy gift of peace do bring. O Jesu! King
of all the world, Honour and glory be to Thee; with Father and with Paraclete, glory through all eternity. Amen.

2015 GIVING TREE
It is time for our 8th annual Giving Tree to help those less fortunate than us. Beginning the weekend of November 28 and through the weekend of January 2, there will be 3 trees decorated with tags that will benefit
BRIDGE TO LIFE and some parish members from St. Margaret Mary who need our assistance.
These trees will be located in the following areas: 1) in the narthex of the upper church, 2) in the West Vestibule near the elevator and 3) in the lower church.
We hope you are able to take a tag or more if possible and buy the items listed. Please do not wrap the gift.
Just tape the tag to the bag or box so we can identify the item and where it is to go.
Please bring the gift by the weekend of January 2 and give to an usher during Masses or bring to the Rectory
for safe keeping. We all know times are tough but for those of us lucky enough, a donation will aid someone
during this time of year where it is better to give than to receive. God bless you and your families for your
generosity.
ARBOL DE REGALOS
Es el tiempo de nuestro octavo edición de árbol de regalos para ayudar a aquellos menos afortunados que
nosotros. A partir del fin de semana del 28 de noviembre y hasta el fin de semana del 2 de enero, habrán 3
árboles decorado con etiquetas que beneficiarán al PUENTE A LA VIDA y algunos miembros de la parroquia
de Santa Margarita María que necesitan nuestra ayuda.
Estos árboles se encuentran en las siguientes áreas: 1) en el nártex de la iglesia arriba, 2) en el vestíbulo oeste cerca del ascensor y 3) en la iglesia de abajo.
Esperamos que tomen una etiqueta o más si es posible y puedan comprar los artículos mencionados. Por favor, no envuelva los regalos. Simplemente pegue la etiqueta a la bolsa o caja para que podamos identificar el
articulo y a donde va a ir.
Vamos a colectar hasta el primer fin de semana de enero. Por
favor, traiga el regalo y darlo a un ujier durante las misas o lleven a la Oficina durante las horas de trabajo. Todos sabemos
que estamos en tiempos difíciles, aquellos de nosotros que podamos hacer una donación será bien recibida. Dios los bendiga
a ustedes y a sus familias por su generosidad.
