Dear Parishioners and Friends,
Last Sunday, we heard a gospel story in which the Scribes and Pharisees chastised Jesus for eating with tax collectors and sinners. In response, he told them the parable of the lost sheep.
A shepherd had one hundred sheep and one went astray. Despite common wisdom and against practicality, he leaves the ninety-nine and goes after the one. Jesus said that there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one who repents than over ninety-nine who need no repentance.
As honest Christians, we can all admit that each one of us needs to live a life of continual repentance. We also need each other—community is at the heart of who we are. As St. Paul said, “[Do not] neglect to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Our body of faith is stronger and healthier if more of its members are present for the breaking of the bread and the prayers. Everyone is overshceduled these days, but in all of our striving, it is essential for us not to forget that we are not islands unto ourselves. I invite you all, and especially those whom we have not seen for a while, to join with the other members of your body—the Body of Christ—for worship and fellowship. I look forward to seeing you in church.
Blessings, Father Rick

Walk to End Alzheimer's October 20th
|
Join our team "Chris’ Crew" with Captain Sally Sonne. Participate in a 2-mile (not very difficult) Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Sunday, October 20, in Rockland County. We hope that you will join the team by walking or donating.
A cure is on the horizon, and, hopefully, will be discovered before we or our children are stricken. Alzheimer’s is truly a sad and devastating condition for the patient and for family and friends. Sally knows that Chris would want to do anything he could to end Alzheimer’s. For her, this walk is to honor him and give hope and help for a cure.
Registration begins at 9am, with a ceremony at 10am and the walk at 10:20am. Location is Palisades Credit Union Park Stadium (Rockland Boulders), Rockland/Pomona, NY.
