Welcome to St. André’s Parish! No matter who you are, where you’ve come from, or what brings you here, we’re so glad to have you with us. St. André Bessette (1845-1937) spent much of his life serving as the door-keeper of his religious community; like him, we strive to open doors for our neighbors to experi-ence the loving mercy of God. May Jesus fill your heart with his grace and peace!

From Fr. Joe…

So, what’s new? You’ll be seeing some new preachers in the pulpit in the weeks and months ahead. Deacons Brent and Nick have both applied to receive their preaching faculties from Bishop LaValley, and have been working with Fr. Ray Moreau of Brushton/North Bangor as their mentor. You’ll be hearing them give some ―practice‖ homi-lies here at st. André’s (and I’ll be asking some of you to evaluate those). Please pray for our deacons as they take this big step in their ministry. Next Sunday is the open house at our “new” offices and pot-luck supper. Bishop LaValley will be on hand to bless the space for us. Come to see how we’ve got things set up at St. John Bosco, and stay to enjoy some good food and good company. See all the details below. We’re looking for new volunteers to serve as greeters at Sun-day Mass and to work in our food pantry. In both cases, you have the awesome privilege of being the friendly face of the Cath-olic Church, ―opening doors‖ to our neighbors so that they can experience the love of God. If you’re interested, please give us a call: 518-483-1300. And mark your calendars for our new Bible study for Lent. It’s coming soon!

A Prayer for Healing

Hear the humble prayer of your people, God our Father, as we im-plore your mercy. Bring healing to all who have suffered physical, emotional, or sexual abuse at the hands of your ministers and restore them to fullness of life. Forgive your Church for the immense evil

that has been committed and the great harm that has been done. Grant the grace of true repentance to all who have broken sacred trust, destroyed precious innocence, and failed to protect your beloved children entrusted to their pastoral care. Reconcile us to one another and never allow us be parted from you. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

“The Lord heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3)

"There are three kinds of giving: grudge giving says, I have to; duty giving says, I ought to; thanksgiving says, I want to. The first comes from constraint; the second from a sense of obligation; the third from a full heart." Rev. Robert Rodenmayer

Sacrament of Baptism Parents who wish to have a child baptized should contact Rev. Joseph Giroux to make arrangements for the date and for a program of preparation. Parents are highly encour-aged to make arrangements at least three months before the child is born, as the Catholic Church encourages Baptism for infants as soon as possible after birth. Adults and older children (seven years or older) interested in Baptism or en-tering into full communion with the Catholic Church should inquire about the program of preparation (R.C.I.A.: the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults). Sacrament of Matrimony A Catholic wishing to be married in one of our churches should contact one of the priests at least six months prior to the desired date in order to begin making arrangements. A program of preparation is required. The parish should be contacted before any other plans are made—for example, the wedding reception. Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick For those preparing for surgery, nursing home residents, or the homebound, contact one of the parish priests to make arrangements to be anointed. For those in the hospital (especially in the event of an emergency), ask the hospital staff to contact the priest on call.
