PARISH JUBILEE MASS
ST. AEDAN'S NEW CANDLES
Saint Aedan's has replaced our 30-year-old electric votive candles with five new candle racks from Saint Killian's Candle Systems from Co. Tipperary, Ireland. These are the same systems that several Churches (and St. Patrick's Cathedral) in our area have recently installed. These are not electric candles. They are votive lights as you may remember them, where you light them yourself.
The parish is looking for donors who want to help support these units. If interested please contact Deacon Jim at the office. So, to clarify, we are NOT looking for anyone to, 'gold plaque' the candle stations. (I think I misunderstood the initial wording myself ... We aren't looking to place anyone's name on an individual set of lights, we are looking to help offset the initial investment, and maintain the functionfunctionality. All five units have already been installed in our Church. If you would like information on helping support these beautiful fixtures, please reach out to Deacon Jim Maher (845) 729-2064. (Or, [email protected])
ALTAR SERVERS
As long as you are going to Mass... After three years, we want to bring back ALTAR SERVERS at Saint Aedan's. In the next two weeks, Deacon Jim will be visiting the 4th - 7th graders in our Religious Education classes to recruit new servers or ask previous servers to come back. If your son or daughter wishes to be a server, please send their name, age, grade, and phone number in an email to: [email protected]. You can call me with any questions at (845) 729-2064. Training dates will then be announced. We hope to have servers back on the Altar during Lent.
JUNIOR LECTORS
Students entering Grades 8-12 are encouraged to join our Junior Lector Ministry. Readers are scheduled for only the 10:00 Mass, on a rotating basis, with training and resources provided. It is a great way to hone the reading and speaking skills often needed for school and earn service time as well.To volunteer or to ask questions, please contact Marie Gartner at [email protected].
SAINT AEDAN FOOD PANTRY
Supporting those who are in need comes rather naturally to us, here at Saint Aedan’s, because we, as a parish family, sponsor a year-round food pantry. We realize that people need to eat every day, every week, every month of the year.
Your SVDP Food Pantry, items in short supply:Cooking Oil
Boxed Milk
Oatmeal (Quick and Instant)
Children Cereals
White Rice (2lb or 5lb bags)
Decaf Coffee and Tea
Salt, Pepper, Sugar and Spices
Juice Bottles and Boxes
Thank You“When you fed or clothed My needy brothers and sisters,
that you did unto Me.”With regards to non-perishable donations, the pantry cannot accept food that is out-of-date. We have recently received bags of expired food from several years ago. If you are cleaning out a cupboard, kindly do not share the expired items. While we appreciate every donation those must go in the trash. Also we do not have use for baby formula or personal care products for digestion or infant-feeding. Also refrain from incontinence products and medications as we cannot dispense them from the pantry. Thank you for your assistance. Deacon Jim

Once Again, any email from Msgr like this = Fraud:
(Jan 13, 2023) GOT A NEW ONE TODAY:
RectoryOffice#@gmail ---> NOT Msgr Nevin!
Hello, how are you doing? I have an assignment I need you to do for me immediately. Let me know if you are available. So kindly respond back via email.
I got this myself, allegedly from Msgr Nevin:
here's another one from today (12/4)!Hello, How are you doing?
I need a favor from you, email me as soon as you get this message.
May God continue to bless the joy of our fellowship as you seek to be faithfully to my calling
Rev. Msgr. Emmet
Pastor.
Another parishioner reported getting one that requested gift cards be purchased for helping out with some special project...
Key things to look for in a email like this - who does it "say" it is coming from, and where is it actually coming from.
The email says it is from "Rev. Msgr. Emmet R. Nevin" - Monsignor has no emails that say that; he never strings all the titles together.
The email return address in this case says:[officemail6515@gmail... and the new one [email protected] ... this one doesn't even have the right denomination]
If you are not sure, call the Rectory and confirm any inquiries - especially if it seems like someone is requesting money or 'gift cards' ... In most email programs, if you simply move your cursor over the name of the person sending you the email ("mouse-over"), it will show you in the bottom left corner of your screen the 'actual' place / person sending the email. (Though, the new format from my Optimum account seems to have removed that feature.)

Prayer to the Virgin Mary for our ProtectionO Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you,
Health of the Sick.
At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith.
You, Our Lady of New York,
know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee,
joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the Father’s will
and to do what Jesus tells us:
He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us,
through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.We seek refuge under your protection,
O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger,
O glorious and blessed Virgin.
PRAYER FOR THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE and RUSSIA“My heart aches greatly… And now I would like to appeal to everyone, believers and non-believers alike. Jesus taught us that the diabolical senselessness of violence is answered with God’s weapons, with prayer and fasting. May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the madness of war.” Pope Francis, February 23,2022
God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that Your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all Your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that You would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
AmenArchbishop Justin Welby
Archbishop Stephen Cottrell
Archbishops of Canterbury & York
