A Joyful Celebration: Bishop Chappetto Presides Over
Family Mass and Blesses Children’s Saint Cards
This past Sunday, November 3, our parish was honored to welcome the Most Rev. Raymond F. Chappetto, D.D., Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Brooklyn, to preside over a truly special Family Mass at 10:00 a.m. With reverence and joy, Bishop Chappetto led us in a beautiful celebration of faith that brought together families, friends, and parishioners of all ages.
The church was filled to capacity, creating a warm and lively atmosphere as we gathered to worship together. One of the most touching moments of the Mass came when Bishop Chappetto blessed the saints cards crafted by the children of our parish, each one a vibrant tribute to the saints who inspire us. After Mass, these young parishioners distributed the blessed cards to everyone in attendance, a gesture that radiated the spirit of love, community, and the joy of sharing our faith with one another.
This Family Mass was not only a wonderful celebration but also a reminder of the strength and unity of our parish family. It was a joy to see so many familiar and new faces gathered together, filling the church with a sense of togetherness and purpose.
We look forward to continuing this beautiful tradition! Mark your calendars and join us on Sunday, December 8, for our next Family Mass. All are welcome, and we can’t wait to share another special morning with you. Come celebrate, pray, and connect with our vibrant parish family!
St. Margaret Catholic Academy Celebrates All Saints' Day with Heartwarming Tradition
On All Saints' Day, the young students of St. Margaret Catholic Academy brought a special energy to our parish by dressing as their favorite saints and attending Mass together. The church was filled with joy as children arrived in beautifully crafted costumes, honoring well known saints.
During the Mass, the students were encouraged to reflect on the lives and virtues of the saints they embodied, making the celebration a meaningful and engaging experience for everyone present. Seeing our young parishioners embrace the lives of these saints with such enthusiasm was inspiring, reminding us all of the values we strive to live by.
This beloved tradition continues to instill a deep sense of faith and community in our children, helping them understand the richness of our Catholic heritage. We are grateful to the students, families, and teachers who made this day so memorable, and we look forward to many more celebrations that bring the stories of the saints to life!
