PARISH MISSION STATEMENT The Parish of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is a Roman Catholic community of the disciples of Jesus Christ called together by the Holy Spirit to worship and serve God our Father. Alert to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we proclaim our Faith and enrich our members spiritually through the Sacred Liturgy as we educate them in our Religious Tradition. Cherishing the heritage we have received from dedicated clergy, religious, and parishioners who came before us, we encourage one another to place our gifts at the service of the Kingdom of God as good stewards. As men and women of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds we welcome everyone as we invite new members to join our parish family. We strive to provide an atmosphere of acceptance in which each member feels recognized and valued, as we cooperate with our neighbors in the community to promote the common good. Together we face the future with our hope anchored in Jesus Christ who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Thanksgiving A time to say Thanks so I want to say Thanks to God for His gift of life to me His gift of faith, family, relatives and friends His gift and call to serve as a Priest in Brooklyn and especially the last 28 years here at O.L.M.M. Thanks to all of you who made for my 85th birthday celebration this past week a great and unforgettable party. Thanks to all for your cards, gifts, especially gifts of your presence, presents and work to make for my day. Thanks to Fr. Sansone, our pastor, and especially those who planned, decorated, and arranged for the music, food and good time for all. *** I cannot possibly acknowledge every gift, of prayers, concern and generosity shown towards me in so many different ways by so many. May God continue to bless all of you through the intercession of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Remember God loves you and I love you! Msgr. George Schuster, cell phone: (718)

4 Page 4 November 27, 2016 In Gratitude Over the course of the last few weeks, so many of our people have presented food for the St. Vincent de Paul Society and the food pantry which we try to stock each week to provide food for the needy. I express gratitude to all of you who have brought nonperishable foods, especially on Thanksgiving day and offered it at the altar during the offertory. I cannot begin to tell you, how wonderful a gesture this is and continues a long tradition in our parish in helping the members of the St. Vincent de Paul volunteers to prepare bags of diversified goods which places food on the table of so many needy that are hidden in our parish boundaries. God Bless you all. Fr. Anthony Sansone In the Gospel, Jesus tells us: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Through your gift to the St. Vincent De Paul Society you can show your love for our Lord and your love of your neighbor who is hungry, perhaps feeling hopeless, alone and maybe even frightened. The Thanksgiving and Christmas Food Drive is the perfect opportunity to help our neighbors in need. Advent Reconciliation Monday Monday, December 19th The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be celebrated in the Church on Monday, December 19th, for anyone wishing confession. The times for confession will be after the 8:30am Mass in the morning and in the evening from 7pm-8pm. The basic requirement for a good confession is to have the intention of returning to God like the "prodigal son" and to acknowledge our sins with true sorrow before the priest. Divine Mercy Devotion Prayer Service at Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church Saturday, December 3rd - 2:30pm-4pm Everyone is invited to join us, when we meet for the Divine Mercy Devotion Prayer Service at Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church. We will chant the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy and pray the Holy Rosary. Come pray with us. Dear Fellow Sojourners in Advent, As we come to the end of a liturgical year and the beginning of a new one this Advent; let us take this opportunity to slow-up, if at all possible. This season is a time of longing and expectation for the return of the Lord Jesus as He has promised. Until His return happens, we are filled with the need to pray, confess, celebrate, be hope-filled and joyous that His promise and His coming will bring the peace that is so needed in this world. As we light the first candle in our church bringing about the Advent Season we long desire, let us not forget the least of our brothers and sisters who are in need of consolation, support, companionship, prayers, and the acknowledgement that they too are loved. The preparation of our mind, body and spirit for the return of Jesus happens in all the ways we are charitable to one another: family, friend, stranger and the disenfranchised. Allow ourselves to be merged with the flickering of the first flame which dispels darkness, fears, trepidations and weaknesses of a long winter and be merged with the warmth of a God whose love merged with human nature in Jesus. Fraternally we are united with you. Fr. Anthony J. Sansone Msgr. George Schuster Fr. Johny Chengalan Thomas Fr.

Polskim Medytacja nad Słowem Adwent w języku łacińskim znaczy przyjście. W sensie teologicznym Adwent oznacza przyjście Chrystusa i oczekiwanie na to przyjście. Biblia, mówiąc o utracie raju zapowiada równocześnie przyjście Mesjasza, który pojedna człowieka z Bogiem, a z tej jedności rodzić się będzie w człowieku uszczęśliwiająca harmonia. Mówiąc o Adwencie - przyjściu Jezusa można wyróżnić trzy jego wymiary. Ten potrójny wymiar Adwentu wiąże się z naszym przygotowaniem, które ma się odbywać na trzech płaszczyznach. Ikona Adwent św Rodzina 2016 Pragne wszystkich serdecznie poinformować iż w czasie okresu adwentu będzie sposobna okazja aby Ikona Świętej Rodziny nawiedziła wasze domy Jesli ktokolwiek ma takie zyczenie i chciałby przyjąć Ikonę do swojej rodziny będzie taka możliwość ale tylko dla czterech rodzin gdyż można ją przyjąć od niedzieli do niedzieli Prosze zatem o jak najszybsze zgłoszenie.
