We will be inviting all parishioners to spend 1% of their day, each day of Lent, in prayer with the scriptures. We will have special booklets with the Gospel for each day to assist. These will be distributed on Ash Wednesday and possibly the following Sunday. 

Join Bishop Brennan on the Diocesan Pilgrimage to various churches in the diocese. There is a specific app "Lenten Pilgrimage-Diocese of Brooklyn" which is available for both Apple and android devices.

The Franciscans are very happy to announce the arrival of Sr. Irene Sampa Mpundu, a Franciscan Missionary Sister of Assisi who has joined the convent community in our parish. Sr. Irene is originally from Zambia. She studied and ministered in Italy for 14 years and then in Mexico for 15 years. Sister Irene will be serving at Trinity Human Services.

Looking for a year that actually matters? FrancisCorps is a one-year, faith-filled service experience for young adults (ages 21–25) rooted in the Franciscan tradition. You’ll live in intentional community in Syracuse, NY, grow deeper in prayer, serve those most in need, and build lifelong friendships while making a real impact in people’s lives.

Volunteers spend their days in meaningful service at places like food programs, shelters, schools, and social-service ministries, pray together daily, share meals, and participate in retreats and a pilgrimage to Assisi, Italy — all while receiving housing, a stipend, and support along the way. It’s not just a year of service — it’s a year of transformation that stays with you long after it ends.

Mondays of Lent at 6:30 - 8:00 PM - Cafeteria

We will have two different groups (Spanish and English) which will reflect on the readings of the coming Sundays throughout Lent. Books will be provided but a free offering is welcome to cover the cost ($13). There will be facilitators to lead each group and those attending are expected to attend most sessions and to participate actively in the conversations. 

On March 12th, The Franciscan Friars Conventual invite you to a special evening in the church featuring Triumph of

the Heart, a powerful film on the life and martyrdom of St. Maximilian Kolbe, one of their own brothers.

Following the screening, there will be a brief time of prayer and an opportunity to see and venerate a relic of St. Maximilian Kolbe, made available through his Franciscan community. This evening offers a chance to reflect on courage, sacrifice, and faith in a sacred space, not only through film, but

through prayer and personal encounter.

Suggested donation: $5

All are welcome. Use the link to register: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/triumph-of-the-heart-private-film-screening

Our next Sight & Sound bus trip to Lancaster County in PA is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, when we'll see the inspiring new live show Joshua. The price is $210 and includes transportation, the show, and lunch. Tickets will start selling soon.

Confession is a chance to breathe, let go, and start again. The friars celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Saturdays after the 8:30 AM Mass (except the first Saturday of the month) and from 4–5 PM in the afternoon.

Prefer something more flexible? Confession is also available by appointment, or you can stop by the parish office (153 Johnson Avenue, Suite B).

If a friar is in, we’re glad to welcome you. You can also call ahead at 718-384-0215.

Looking for a simple, concrete way to serve? Once a month, when the Food Pantry at Trinity Human Services is closed and food levels are low, we need volunteers to clean and disinfect our refrigerators and freezers so they’re ready for fresh deliveries on Monday.

This behind-the-scenes work protects our guests, meets health requirements, and keeps the pantry running. It’s humble, hands-on service in the Franciscan spirit: caring for people by caring for what serves them. Ideal for young adults who can’t volunteer during the week but have time on Saturdays. Interested?

Contact Friar Rick for details and scheduling.
