This year, we shall be honoring our patron at all Masses at both churches the weekend of June 9-10. Our celebration will be especially festive this year for two reasons:
At the 4:00 PM Mass, we have the honor of welcoming as celebrant and homilist, His Excellency, the Most Reverend Guy Sansaricq, Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn (retired).
The next day, the celebrant and homilist of the 9:30 AM Mass will be newly ordained Rev. Fr. James Smith, who assisted our parish during his time as deacon. The traditional blessing of bread and veneration of the relic of St. Anthony will be part of this liturgy. A light reception will follow in the church hall.
