THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS! Never let it be said that God doesn’t answer our prayers! Father Matthew Asante has, by the grace of God, come to share with us the gift of his priesthood! Please welcome him to our parish family, pray that God’s wisdom and strength will support him as he ministers to us, and put him to the test – he will pass with flying colors! God has poured His choicest blessings upon him, so let him share his experience, talent, laughter, and faith with us. WELCOME FATHER MATTHEW!

From Cardinal Dolan:
Fasting and abstinence from meat on Fridays are important Lenten obligations for every Catholic bound by age and health. We need to follow these directives.
This year, the Solemnity of St. Patrick, our patron, falls on a Friday, and I have decided to dispense everyone in our Archdiocese from abstaining from meat.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION By the early 1950s some scholars were calling for the restoration of Communion of the faithful on Good Fri-day, since by then only a priest received, consuming the host from the Holy Thursday repository. In 1955 the new Good Friday liturgy was timed to begin at three o'clock everywhere, and included the option of Holy Communion, but without the Precious Blood that had originally been part of the liturgy. Today, there is in-creasing debate among theologians. Some feel that it would be better to fast from the Eucharist on Good Fri-day, focusing on the mystery of the cross and highlight-ing the Easter Communion. Others say that this Com-munion infuses the sadness of the day with awareness of Christ's victory. It is not a day of mourning, of course, and the Passion according to John grounds the liturgy in a sense of Christ's victory over death and the triumph of the cross. The tradition is rich and varied, and we are still in the early stages of recovering an an-cient way of doing things.
Why do we call the day "good"? The English and Dutch languages share this name, and its origin stems from the name "God's Friday." The traditional name for the day in Latin is Feria VI in Parasceve, which translates as "The Sixth Day of the Week of Preparation." Other lan-guages make do with "Holy Friday." In another part of England, as in Denmark, the people used to call it "Long Friday," a good description for a quiet day with-out work and no chance for play or a good meal!
--Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El siglo pasado en la década de los 70s, un joven mexi-cano cruzaba el desierto fronterizo entre México y Esta-dos UniEsta-dos. Un sacerdote lo encontró y se ofreció a cru-zarlo en su camioneta a Estados Unidos. El sacerdote le dijo que si regresaba a su tierra lo estaría esperando en Santa Ana de Guadalupe, un pequeño rancho cerca de Jalostotitlán, en la región de Los Altos de Jalisco, Méxi-co.
Con el tiempo, el joven regresó a México y fue en busca de su buen samaritano. Preguntando por él, la gente del pueblo lo llevó a una capilla donde se sorprendió al ver la foto de su bienhechor en la tumba de santo Toribio Romo.
Muchos inmigrantes que relatan lo mismo acerca de un sacerdote o buen samaritano que rescata indocumenta-dos en el desierto, alimentándolos, llevándolos a Esta-dos UniEsta-dos, incluso, diciéndoles dónde encontrar traba-jo.
En 1928, Toribio Romo fue asesinado a la edad de 28 años durante "La Cristiana" (1926-1929). Este joven sacerdote murió a manos de un gobierno cruel que no sabia respetar los derechos humanos. Ahora como santo se dedica a ayudar a los pobres que sufren a causa de leyes inmigratorias que tampoco respetan los derechos humanos.
