We thought it was good, but now it is better. We have joined an Archdiocesan network which allows us to modify the site ourselves from the rectory. This bulletin is now being posted on the site every Friday. Full information about our religious education programs for both children and adults can be easily located, as can be the registration forms to be filled out. Check out stphilipneribronx.org Lectors Needed In response to our call for new lectors, two new volunteers attended a preliminary meeting on Monday night. There will be another meeting on Monday August 10 at 6:30 in the church. Present lectors are encouraged to attend since they will be able to share their experience with others. We continue to welcome anyone who can make a commitment, either for Sundays or weekdays. If we have a larger group, the commitment should be easy enough since we will have a list to from when on a given day the assigned lector cannot be present. St. Patrick’s Cathedral On Tuesday August 25 Channel 13, during its “Treasures of New York” segment, will offer a film about St. Patrick’s Cathedral, which recently underwent a $175 million restoration. The film takes viewers through the cathedral’s rich history as a center of Catholic life in New York and examines the architectural features that have made it a celebrated New York City treasure and a National historic Landmark. The film highlights the efforts to preserve this historic treasure, examining the massive, recently completed restoration that includes a new roof, repairs to the stone facade and restoration of the stained glass windows. Initiated in 2007, the project is the most extensive and expensive restoration in the cathedral’s history PAGE 3 Vocation Summit Do you love the priesthood and religious life? Would you like to learn more about how you can promote vocations in your parish? Then join us for a delicious meal, free of charge at St. Joseph Seminary in Yonkers this October 9, from 6-9pm. Our guest speaker is Rhonda Gruenewald, and expert from Houston who has literally “written the book” on how to effectively run a parishbased vocation ministry. Also at the dinner, we’ll unveil our new four-point Archdiocesan Vocation Plan Please note: Attending the dinner does not obligate you to more volunteer duties. It is a night to learn, be inspired, and perhaps take home some best practices to your parish. See more details and RSVP at www.nypriest.com/vocationsummit Memorial Garden: Subscriptions Slow We have had only a few requests for memorial bricks in the chapel garden. If we do not receive at least ten requests by September we plan to return any contributions already made. Meanwhile it is still possible to inscribe a paving brick in memory of a deceased loved one or in tribute to the living. The donation is $200. Since we can install the bricks only if we have a minimum order of ten, we encourage anyone interested to register as soon as possible. There is always a long delay between submitting the order and the installation date and we would like to be able to do so early in the summer. Enrollment forms are available both in the rectory office.
