6 In English: Wednesdays in Lent at 9:30 am. Tuesdays in Lent, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, in church. A BRIEF REFLECTION ON FATHER GELLEL, S.J. by Tony Rossi Father Lawrence Gellel, SJ, was a priest who truly loved serving the people of God, whether it was preparing couples for marriage or baby baptisms, visiting the sick, or laughing and joking with parishioners at social gatherings. During his time at St. Raphael's, he would drive the parish jeep to Calvary cemetery every Saturday to celebrate Mass in the chapel there. Fr. Gellel also had a bit of St. Francis of Assisi in him in that he loved animals and would often walk through Central Park feeding nuts to the squirrels. Yet this kind and gentle man also had a tough side. For instance, on the day of an anniversary Mass for St. Raphael's, he opened the rectory door to a beggar asking for money. The beggar assaulted Fr. Gellel, knocking him to the ground and leaving him with a black eye. Despite his injuries, Fr. Gellel was on the altar a few hours later, concelebrating the Mass with Msgr. Bednartz. Fr. Gellel wouldn't let anything or anyone get in the way of being with the people of St. Raphael's, whose friendship meant the world to him. He always considered the parish his home, no matter where he was transferred to. THIS N THAT 1. All are invited to PRAY THE RO- SARY at the Knights of Columbus George W.
