STEWARDSHIP CORNER Sharing Time, Talent and Treasure

In today’s second reading, St. Paul reminds the Romans — and us — that all things come from God: “For from Him and through Him and for Him all things are.” Good stewards understand that all is a gift and share generously the gifts of time, talent, and treasure with which they have been blessed. See Romans 11:36 (Our Sunday Visitor, ibid., page 13).

Actual Collection = $6,587 Mail-In Donations $2,722 Assumption Collection = $1,906 Total Collection = $11,215 Attendance = 593

CMA Numbers for 2020 Goal = $99,400 Pledges = $45,070 Payments = $40,561 Donors = 186 Average = $242

Thank you to all the families who already have made a sacrificial gift. Please consider a yearly offering.

Rev. Fr. Patrick J. Callan

Born 12 June 1935

Ordained a Priest 3 June 1961

Rest in Peace 8 August 2020

In the quiet of the night, Our Lord called home to heaven our beloved Father Pat. He came to Corpus Christi 7 years ago after retiring from being Pastor at Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, Point Lookout. He had been Pastor in two other parishes, including St. Anne’s in Brentwood from 1985-1994, where he was born and baptized as a child. Father Pat lived here in Mineola during the 1970’s, when he was caring for the sick as a hospital Priest-Chaplin (when he wasn’t on the golf course!). He always loved the rectory life with his brother priests, and always felt the love of our staff and parishioners who embraced him. Father Pat was constantly available for Mass and Confession, even as his health declined. He leaves behind one sister Catherine, and two brothers Bernie and John, along with several nieces and nephews. May his Irish-born father & mother, Catherine and Bernard, welcome him home to paradise!

THE CORPUS CHRISTI “CONTINUING THE

EDUCATIONAL MISSION” SCHOLARSHIP AWARD UPDATE

Back in January, we announced the establishment of the Corpus Christi “Continuing the Educational Mission” Scholarship Award. The intent of the scholarship award was even though our beloved parish school closed, the mission of educating the young people of our parish

continues. It is in this spirit that the scholarship award was been established.

A committee of 9 members of our parish family consisting of educators from grammar, middle, high school and college as well as members from the financial community was formed and worked on this award program for several months and developed this scholarship.

The funding for these scholarships comes directly from the investment income earned from the proceeds of the sale of the Searing Avenue properties and not from any weekly or special parish collections.

13 young men and women from our parish submitted applications for the scholarship. Last Sunday at the 10:00am mass, Fr. Malcolm announced the recipients of the scholarships. A $5,000 scholarship was awarded to Mark DaCosta who will be entering his freshman year at Chaminade High School this September and a $5,000 scholarship was awarded to Connor Cunha who will be entering his sophomore year of college at Sacred Heart University. Both young men are active members of our parish and community and embody our Catholic faith and values.

I would like to thank the members of the Scholarship committee: Susan Anaischek, Diane Ondris, Cindy Lopes, Teresa Ferreira, Jeremy Reyes, Dolores & George Kraus, Kathy Raspen & Anne Marie Ely for their hard work and dedication in designing, formulating the eligibility requirements and conducting the one on one interviews.

Eagle Scout Project Blessing

Sunday 23 August, 7:00 PM Mass Followed by a blessing at our school (7:30 PM)

All are invited to share in the success of Eagle Scout Domingos DaSilva, his family and Boy Scout Troop 45 for the wonderful work they did to enhance the beauty of our Corpus Christi school building.

Parish Outreach proudly sponsors our 3rd Annual: “Learning can be fun if you have the right tools”

Some children in our community don’t have or can’t afford the right tools. Buying school supplies may be difficult for local families going through tough financial times especially in this time of Covid-19. We, as a parish, we as members of the Mineola community, want to make a difference in their lives by providing the right tools they need to succeed. Through our school supply drive, we will be able to provide children with the basic supplies they need to be prepared for school this September whether in person or virtual learning. The school supplies drive is running from now until Labor Day weekend. The children need the following supplies:

• Backpacks • Staples Gift Cards • New notebooks, both spiral (single or multiple sectioned) and marble (all colors) • 1” & 3” Binders • Dividers, 2 Pocket & Hole Punched Folders • Post-Its of all sizes • Baby Wipes & Tissues

With your generous help, we can make learning easier, fun and successful for students in need. Donations of school supplies may be left in the lobby of the Church. Please place them in the same chest that we now use for food donations. You may also bring these supplies directly to Parish Outreach, Monday – Friday between 9am & 3pm.

Español VIGÉSIMOPRIMER DOMINGO

EVANGELIO DE SAN MATEO 16, 13-20 En aquel tiempo, cuando llegó Jesús a Cesarea de Filipo, hizo esta pregunta a sus discípulos: “Quién dice la gente que es el Hijo del hombre? Ellos respondieron: “Unos dicen que eres Juan el Bautista; otros, que Elías; otros, que Jeremías o alguno de los profetas. Luego les preguntó: “Y ustedes, quién dicen que soy yo? Simón Pedro tomó la palabra y le dijo: “Tú eres el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios vivo. Jesús le dijo entonces: :Dichoso tú, Simón, hijo de Juan, porque esto no te lo ha revelado nigún hombre, sino mi Padre que está en los cielos! Y yo te digo a ti que tú eres Pedro y sobre esta piedra edificaré mi Iglesia. Los poderes del infierno no prevalecerán sobre ella. Yo te daré las llaves del Reino de los cielos; todo lo que ates en la tierra quedará atado en el cielo y todo lo que desates en la tierra quedará desatado en el cielo”. Y les ordenó a sus discípulos que no dijeran a nadie que él era el Mesías.

El Evangelio de la misa presenta a Jesús con sus discípulos en Cesarea de Filipo. Quién icen los hombres que es el Hijo del Hombre? Esa pregunta dirigida a todos aquellos que le siguen, encuentra un especial eco en el corazón de Pedro. Éste es el momento escogido por Cristo para comunicar a Pedro que sobre él recaerá el Primado de toa su iglesia. Será la roca, el fundamento firme sobre el que Cristo construirá su Iglesia, de tal manera que ningún poder podrá derribala. Las llaves indican poder. Desde el primer día en que conoció a Jesús Simón se llamará para siempre PETRUS, piedra. Con este cambio de nombre quiso indicar el Seçnor la nuea misión que será encomendda a Pedro: la de ser el cimento firme del nuevo edifício, la Iglesia. También hou mucha gente piensa que Jesús es un gran profeta, un maestro de sabiuría, um modelo de justicia. Y también hoy Jesús pregunta a todos nosotros. Y vosotros, quién decís que soy yo? QUE RESPONDEREMOs?

Se lee en la Primera lectura del profeta Isaías que Dios llamará Eliacín para ocupar el puesto de mayordomo del palacio real. Isaías profetiza que un día, Jesús va dar a Pedro las llaves, el poder sobre su Iglesia. No se le dan las llaves de un reino terreno, sino del Reino de los Cielos.

Português XXI DOMINGO DO TEMPO

COMUM

EVANGELHO DE MATEUS 16, 13-20 Naquele tempo, Jesus foi para os lados de Cesareia de Filipe e perguntou aos seus discípulos: “Quem dizem os homens que é o Filho do homem”? Eles responderam: “Uns dizem que é João Batista, outros que é Elias, outros que é Jeremias ou algum dos profetas”. Jesus perguntou: “E vós, quem dizeis que Eu sou”? Então, Simão Pedro tomou a palavra e disse: “Tu és o Messias, o Filho de Deu vivo”. Jesus respondeu-lhe: “Feliz de ti, Simão, filho de Jonas, porque não foram a carne e o sangue que te revelaram, mas sim meu Pai que está nos Céus. Também eu te digo: Tu és Pedro, sobre esta pedra edificarei a minha Igreja e as portas do inferno não prevalecerão contra ela. Dar-te-ei as chaves do reino dos Céus: tudo o que ligares na terra será ligado nos Céus, e tudo o que desligares na terra será desligado nos Céus”. Então, Jesus ordenou aos discípulos que não dissessem a ninguém que Ele era o Messias.

Quem é Jesus? Para muitas pessoas Jesus é um homem bom, generoso, atento aos sofrimentos dos otros, que sonhou com um mundo diferente. Outros veem em Jesus um revolucionário. Há tantas opiniões sobre Jesus. Neste Evangelho, Jesus pergunta aos discípulos: O que pensam vocês que eu sou? E é Pedro quem responde em nome dos discípulos: Tu és o Messias, o Filho de Deus vivo. Essa é a pergunta que Jesus nos faz todos os dias: quem dizeis que eu sou? Para dar uma resposta convincente de fé, os cristãos precisam conhecer a fundo jesus Cristo, meditando os Evangelhos. A fé e, Jesus Cristo é a porta de entrada para a vida. Jesus entrega a Pedro a autoridade sobre a sua Igreja. O nosso amor pelo Papa não é apenas um afeto humano, baseado na sua santidade, simpatia, etc. Ele é o Vigário de Cristo na terra, o sucessor de Pedro. Unidos a ele, estamos unidos a Cristo.

A expressão ligar e desligar, significava entre os judeus da época, o poder para interpretar a Lei com autoridade. Jesus dá a Pedro a autoridade para interpretar as palavras de Jesus, para adaptar os ensinamentos de Jesus às novas necessidades e situações, e para acolher ou não acolher novos membros na comunidade dos discípulos do Reino.
