FATHER ABEL’S COLUMN – JUNE 5TH, 2016

flagI am very happy to let you know that Fr. Cyril will be arriving at St. Sebastian on Monday, June 6, and will be helping here until the end of September! He is a wonderful priest and a great addition to our Parish staff. Please welcome him again!

Again, I wanted to thank all of you for coming out and supporting our 9th Corpus Christi Procession with Bishop DiMarzio. The Bishop was very impressed with the number of people that come out to show their love for the Lord. Thanks for your supporting this!
I thank Dr. Catherine Thornton, for all the hard work that she put into our procession and for all the people who helped her to make this a spiritual encounter with Christ!

I also want to thank you for supporting our special Mass with our Veterans on Memorial Day! We are proud of all our Veterans and we continue to pray for all who serve our country and for those who gave their lives defending our way of freedom!

Finally, I have decided to keep the 7am Mass in the Morning during the summer months. Please note the summer schedule is as follows: We will have the 7am, 9am and 12noon Mass Monday – Friday. There will not be a 7pm Mass at night during the summer. This will be effective from July 1st to September 5th. We will resume the 7pm Mass on Tuesday September 6th.

Thanks for your support

Rev. Kevin P. Abels
Pastor
