This past Saturday, several of our young parishioners received First Holy Communion, sharing in the Eucharist for the very first time at the Table of the Lord. We offer them our prayers and congratulations as they continue their journey through the Sacraments of Initiation. Let us keep in prayer: Logan Almonte, Aaliyah Felix, Kenrick Garcia, James Gordillo, Ezequiel Guerrero, Julissa Guisao, Jenny Lopez, Kaylee Oleas, Jayden Perea, Cristal Perez, Daniel Rivera, Daniel Sanchez, Jonathan Sanchez, and Gerardo Zamora May their love for Jesus in the Eucharist grow stronger each day.

The time is now. How will you make a difference? The Annual Catholic Appeal unites us with every parish in Brooklyn and Queens to care for the Church and the world beyond our doors: • Forming new priests to serve the next generation • Caring for retired priests who have walked with us through life’s most sacred moments—baptizing our children, comforting us in loss, celebrating our weddings, and faithfully preaching the Gospel for decades. These priests gave their lives in service to us. Now it is our turn to walk with them in their later years with gratitude and love. • Serving the poor, the hungry, and the homeless • Offering programs for youth and migrants Please take a moment to pray and consider what you can pledge. Remember: you don’t have to give the full amount today—your gift can be fulfilled in installments through December 2025. Together, we can make a lasting impact.

Due to mandatory community meetings for the friars, please note the following schedule adjustments: • Masses on Thursday, May 16 at 7:00 PM and Friday, May 17 at 7:00 PM are cancelled. • The morning Masses on Friday, May 17 and Saturday, May 18 at 8:30 AM will be replaced by a Communion Service, led by Deacon Eric Peterson. We appreciate your understanding and prayers as the friars participate in these important community gatherings.
