Dear Parishioners,
I am writing again from Rome where I am doing television commentary on the papal conclave for EWTN and Newsmax. I am, however, at a disadvantage because I am writing this letter on Tuesday May 6th in order to make this week’s deadline for the bulletin. When you read this bulletin letter, we may already have a new pope!
The conclave began on Wednesday May 7th. The cardinals gathered in the morning for Mass. After lunch they processed into the Sistine Chapel and took the first vote.
I am keeping you all in my prayers as I visit the different churches of Rome. I plan to return to New York on May 13th if the new pope has been elected by then.
This weekend the Archdiocese of New York is asking us to pray for vocations to the priesthood. Each priest will speak about his own vocation at the time of the homily. Cards will be distributed at each Mass on which you can write the names of any young man you think might have a calling to the priesthood. You can deposit the cards in the collection basket or drop them off at the rectory office.
God bless you!
Fr. Gerald E. Murray
