Dear Parishioners,
The installation of the new heating and air conditioning system in the rectory is proceeding smoothly. We have been using safe and reliable space heaters in the meantime, and they have been keeping the priests and office staff warm.
We congratulate Bishop John Bonicci, Auxiliary Bishop of New York, who was named by Pope Leo on January 7th to be the new Bishop of Rochester! God bless Bishop Bonicci.
From Pope Leo’s Angelus Address on January 4th: ”Our commitment to all men and women must also be consistent. Since God has become one of us, every human creature is a reflection of him, bearing his image and containing a spark of his light. This calls us to recognize the inviolable dignity of every person and to offer ourselves in mutual love for one another. Moreover, the Incarnation demands a concrete commitment to the promotion of fraternity and communion. Through this commitment, solidarity becomes the criterion of all human relationships, calling us to strive for justice and peace, to care for the most fragile, and to defend the weak. God has become flesh; therefore, there is no authentic worship of God without care for humanity.
Brothers and sisters, may the joy of Christmas encourage us to continue on our journey. Let us ask the Virgin Mary to make us ever more ready to serve both God and our neighbor.”
God Bless you!
Fr. Gerald E. Murray, Pastor
