Deacon Lachlan This is a not so gentle reminder to sign up to have your picture taken for our Parish Family Album. We had a good response when the photographers were here in July, but I know there are many out there who have yet to sign up for the September visit. Remember there is no cost to you to have your picture taken.and each parishioner/family who sign up will receive a free 8 x 10 and a copy of the album. Those parishioners who had the picture taken in July are delighted with the high quality of the photograph. Whenever a parish does an album such as this it s important to have as many parishioners as possible included in the album. During an anniversary year such as our 125 th.or as you all know by now our quasquicentennial anniversary..it is even more important, because this will be help create another major link in the history of Holy Spirit parish. We all know the old saying.a picture is worth a thousand words..and it is certainly true. Looking back over the history of the parish, there are, obviously very few pictures from the early years. From the 1940 s onward there are more pictures available of parish activities. However there is no comprehensive picture..no pun intended..of the members of the parish as a whole. The last real attempt at making an album was in 2006, and it provided.and still does some insight into the parish family. However that was 12 years ago, and it is now time for us to update our pictorial history. No matter what part you play in the life of the parish.you belong in this book. There are some who are involved in many areas of parish life.there are some who can manage only to mass each Sunday. Everyone should be in the book. If you are an usher and have not signed up for a picture now is the time. How about lectors and Eucharistic ministers.make an appointment. Ministry of consolation? There are so many in this ministry.companion, booklet person, computer person, cake baker..get your picture in this book. Hospitality.choir members.family mass leaders and members Rosary Society, Legion of Mary, Holy Spirit Players, Boy Scouts..get in the book. Then we have our Religious Education families. This is a great opportunity to get everyone together and have a beautiful family picture taken..for free. Bring along the kids, grandkids, pets (within reason). Wear your favorite team jersey..fr. Grieco has given Yankee fans a dispensation to wear their jersey if they wish. If your kids play a sport.bring them along in their uniform. Perhaps you are a parishioner who is also a member of the Fire Department..wear your uniform for the picture.maybe have your picture taken with other parishioners who are also firemen. This will be a real family album, and it will provide a pictorial record for our families, our parish, and indeed for the community of New Hyde Park and Garden City Park. All pictures will be taken in Martin Hall, which is handicapped accessible. The photographers will be here on Tuesday Sept 18, Wed Sept 19, Thu Sept 20, Fri Sept 21 and Saturday Sept. 22. There are afternoon and evening sessions available. Everyone will find a time that suits their schedule. How do I sign up for to have my picture taken? There are two ways. Follow the link below, for those who can use a computer. https://booknow-lifetouch.appointment-plus.com/yd2ephds/ If you are unable to use a computer or do not have access, please come to the rectory and the ladies in the office will get you signed up. It will only take two minutes. May Almighty God bless us, protect us from all evil, and lead us into everlasting life. Amen -3-

PARISH OFFERING The collection for last week, Sunday, September 2 nd, 2018 was $8463 Your kindhearted generosity to Holy Spirit Church is very much appreciated. Peanut butter & jelly, pancake mix and syrup, size 4 5 baby diapers. Shampoo, toothpaste and deodorant. We thank you for your donations of school supplies. We were able to help many youngsters get a head start on their school year September 9 th, 2018 23 RD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Jesus went by way of Sidon into the district of the Decapolis. For most of Jesus ministry, he remains in Galilee and areas with a predominantly Jewish population. Today, however, we see Jesus traveling through a heavily pagan area. This makes the utterance of faith in today s Gospel all the more astounding. He has done all things well. In this story, a deaf man is brought to Jesus. This man is not without community! Despite communication difficulties due to a speech impediment, his people bring him before Jesus. Jesus lays hands upon the man and commands his broken body to change. Be opened! Immediately the man s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly. The community is stunned. They can t stop telling the story. The more Jesus asks them to settle down, the more they proclaim! The Jewish people expected a Messiah but a Messiah with very particular qualifications. The Greeks and pagans anticipated no such savior. There were no expectations to meet. They had a special capacity to be completely, utterly surprised. As Catholics, it can be easy to become accustomed to the songs and the prayers, to the routine of religious education drop-offs and Sunday Mass attendance. By now, we may have very particular expectations. When was the last time you allowed yourself to be surprised by God? Sometimes we are all like the deaf man in today s Gospel. God wants to speak to us, but we can t hear clearly. In your prayer this week, go before God honestly. Give yourself permission to drop your expectations and assumptions. Ask Him to renew your faith to show you how, in your life, He has done all things well.
