3 September 28, 2003 Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page Three Please Welcome: Strings of Faith Sunday, September 28, 2003 at the 5:00 PM Mass Strings of Faith is a group of musicians from Divine Infant Parish in Westchester who volunteer their time and their gift of music to enrich worship. Strings of Faith features Scott Brejcha (vocals, guitar, mandolin and percussion), Tom Sullivan (vocals, guitar and percussion), Dave Schultz (banjo, mandolin, guitar and vocals), George Simon (electric bass), Dave Styler (vocals and percussion), Dave Gordon (vocals and percusion), and Steve Spomer (vocals). Although they make a diverse group as far as ages they range from 26 to 59 and their occupations vary, they had one main point in common. The seven members love music and performing with a band. They think of themselves as regular guys who could be your neighbor or your child s baseball coach. We are grateful they are able to share their talents with us. The Strings of Faith CDs will be available for purchase after Mass in the vestibule of the Church. Beginning October 1st there will once again be two Masses in Polish in the evenings. These Masses on Tuesday and Thursday at 7:00 PM in the Church are devoted to Our Blessed Mother and the Holy Rosary. These Tuesday/Thursday evening Masses have been a part of our regular schedule of Masses for October and May for a number of years. New this year is the addition of two daily morning Masses in Polish: 7:00 AM in the Chapel on Wednesdays and 7:00 AM in the Church on Saturdays. These new morning Masses will not be limited to October and May, but are being added to our schedule on a trial basis and will be evaluated after Advent. This addition to our Mass Schedule is a result of numerous requests for a daily Mass in Polish citing the fact that St. Ferdinand Parish is the only parish with a Polish ministry that does not have a daily Mass in Polish. This change is supported by the Pastoral Staff and was adopted on a trial basis at the last staff meeting. Our Financial Support of St. Ferdinand Parish CHANGE OF PARISH OFFICE HOURS Effective Monday, September 29, 2003 Beginning tomorrow our parish office hours will change slightly; please make a note of them for future reference: Monday-Friday: 9 AM to 12 Noon; 1 PM to 8:30 PM Saturday: 9 AM to 7:30 PM Sunday: 10 AM to 2 PM Requests for Sacramental Certificates, Mass Intentions, to schedule the reception of a Sacrament, parish registrations and other Church business matters are best conducted from Monday to Friday during the following office hours when a secretary is available to assist you, either in person or on the telephone, in English or Polish Languages: Monday - Friday (9 am-12 Noon; 1-5 pm) or on Sundays (10am-2pm). Please note that there are no longer any office hours on Sundays in the Convent. For Polish Mass Intentions, or for any other assistance in the Polish Language, please come to the Rectory during the office hours of Monday - Friday (9am-12 Noon; 1-5 pm) or on Sundays (10 am-2 pm). To arrange a Wedding, please contact Mrs. Wendy Braunsdorf (ext. 238): M-F, 10 am to 2:30 pm. For the weekend of September 20-21, 2003: Envelopes: $ 8, Loose Cash: $ 2, TOTAL DONATIONS: $10, Amount over / (under) weekly budget: ($4,011.69) After two improved weeks earlier this month our offertory collection again fell far below our weekly budget last Sunday. The large fluctuations are very much a concern to us. On the brighter side, we have received a number of notes from parishioners stating their intention to improve their stewardship; and we are also receiving a number of pink Forget Me Not envelopes from families who are making up for missed Sunday donations over the summer. Both your letters and your make-up donations are greatly appreciated. Our offertory budget deficit is nearing $40,000 since July 1st, the beginning of our budget year. In October some budget cuts will begin to take effect and many others are being considered. In late October or early November we will communicate with all of our parishioners what steps we will be taking to reduce the budget, yet maintain as many of our parish services as possible given our resources. Daniel P. Costigan, Parish Business Manager
