Deacon Lachlan When a priest chooses Eucharistic Prayer I (also known as the Roman Canon ), he has the option of reciting a short list of saints before and after saying the sacred words of consecration. It is an ancient list, one that has changed little throughout the centuries. The first list highlights the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, the 12 apostles and 12 other saints of the early Church. Then after the consecration, the priest will recite another list of 15 saints, including 7 women. Who are these women mentioned in the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass? St. Felicity A young and pregnant slave girl of the 2nd century, Felicity was persecuted by the Romans for her Christian faith and sentenced to death with St. Perpetua in the amphitheater at the public games. St. Perpetua.Perpetua was a noblewoman of Carthage and was thrown into the same prison as Felicity for refusing to deny her Christian faith. She chronicled her experience in a diary up until the day of her death. This account was highly popular for many centuries after her death. St. Agatha. A young girl who chose Jesus for her spouse at a young age, Agatha was accused of being Christian in the 3rd century and put into prison. She survived several rounds of torture until she finally died. She was highly venerated in the Early Church and her intercession was believed to have protected an Italian city from a volcano one year after her death. St. Lucy. Born in the 3rd century, at an early age Lucy dedicated her virginity to Christ, but her mother was not aware of it and arranged to have her married. Lucy refused on account of her private vow and the man she was supposed to marry turned her in on account of being a Christian. This led to a gruesome martyrdom, where her eyes were gouged out prior to being killed. Devotion to her spread rapidly throughout Europe, particularly in Scandinavia. St. Agnes. Agnes was the daughter of wealthy and distinguished parents in Rome during the 4th century. She also dedicated herself to God and refused to marry. At 12 years of age she was put to death for her refusal and for being a Christian. Her name means lamb and annually on her feast a pair of lambs are blessed by the Pope, and their wool is shorn on Holy Thursday to create the pallium that a new metropolitan archbishop wears over his shoulders. (Agnes is also patron of our diocese). St. Cecilia. Similar to Agnes, Lucy and Agatha, Cecilia was a noble maiden of the 2nd century who dedicated her virginity to God. She was forced to marry but protected by a guardian angel, who helped preserve her purity. Eventually she was put to death for her Christian faith and is popularly known as the patron saint of music for her musical skills. It is also said that she frequently heard melodies from Heaven. St. Anastasia..A Roman widow of the 4th century, after her husband s death she dedicated her life to acts of charity and the practice of her Christian faith. During the persecution of Diocletian she was killed for her beliefs. Her feast was originally placed on December 25 and it was customary to commemorate her in a small way each Christmas. (The biography of the saints is courtesy of Aleteia.org) May Almighty God bless us, protect us from all evil, and lead us into everlasting life. Amen -3-
Little Passion All children ages 4 and up are invited to participate in the Little Passion this year. The children of the parish reenact the events of the Passion; events that Jesus went through before he was crucified. It is important to remember that this is not a play, but rather a gift from the children of the Parish in which we are all reminded about the single greatest event that has ever, and will ever happen on the earth. The Passion will take place on Sunday, March 18th during the 9:30 AM Family Mass. There will be a practice on Saturday, March 17th in the Church at 11:00 am. If you have any questions, you can email Fred Grimshaw at fgrimshaw1@gmail.com.

125 th Anniversary Celebration Stay tuned for many events planned here at Holy Spirit as we celebrate the founding of our parish 125 year ago! This is an exciting time for us all at Holy Spirit! The building in the picture above is familiar to most of us. It is the former Henry s Inn, now known as The Olde Trading Post. In 1893 it was known as Old Miller s Hall and it was a General Store on the ground floor. Upstairs was a meeting space used by various groups. On June 18 th, 1893 the first ever Mass celebrated in New Hyde Park took place here...and those were the humble beginnings of Holy Spirit Parish. We have come a long way since then, thanks to the wonderful priests, sisters, and parishioners who have worked so hard over the years to build up the Faith here in New Hyde Park. Of course we must also give credit to our patron, The Holy Spirit who is always watching over us and protecting us. Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your love. -8
