🙏 Oratory Vespers
Let’s pray together at the Oratory Vespers on Laetare Sunday and so enter more deeply into the Lenten season. Participating in Vespers can be a perfect way to slow down and prepare for Easter. We’ll mark the halfway point of Lent through prayer, scripture, song, and reflection. Patrick O'Reilly, longtime parishioner and member of the RCIA team, will reflect on the Sunday’s reading from 1 Samuel 16. Learn more.

Join the Social Justice Action Committee for coffee as well as a book discussion in honor of the life and work of Mother Frances Cabrini, patroness of immigrants, and continue the conversation relating to the SJAC's film screening of Cabrini on March 28. In lieu of financial donations to Coffee Hour, SJAC asks parishioners to bring donations of toothpaste and soap which will be given to the pop-up shop for migrants that is hosted at St. Mary Star of the Sea. We will be discussing The World Is Too Small: The Life and Times of Mother Cabrini and God's Messenger: The Astounding Achievements of Mother Frances X. Cabrini. All parishioners are welcome to the book discussion whether or not they have read either book. For any questions, please contact: stbonifacesjc@gmail.com

✝️ Sacrament of Reconciliation
As we prepare for Easter, in addition to our regular weekly times for confession, we will observe “Reconciliation Monday" on April 14, 2025. Churches throughout the Diocese of Brooklyn, Rockville Centre, and the Archdiocese of NY will offer extended periods for the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as the sacrament of “Confession” or “Penance”). Confession will be available in both parishes, and we will celebrate a communal penance service (with confessions) at St. Boniface at 7:00pm. Click here for the schedule.
