We have discontinued live streaming of the 11:15 am Mass because of a decline in actual live viewers. Coincidently, the number of viewers who watch the recorded 5 pm and 10 am Masses is up.
The recorded Masses can be watched anytime. So, if you miss Mass at Resurrection and you'd like to listen to the homily, the 5 pm and 10 am Masses are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day for 3 months. Thank you for your understanding.
5. Live stream Masses will be:
Saturday, August 20th at 5 pm.
Sunday, August 21st at 10:00 am.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONSIGNOR O'DONNELL
Tomorrow August 22nd is the 94th birthday of Monsignor Edward O’Donnell who served at Resurrection from 2000 until 2020. He has told many people that his 2 decades of service here were “the happiest years of my life.”
Monsignor O'Donnell resides at:
The Cardinal O’Connor Clergy Residence
5655 Arlington Ave.
Riverdale, NY 10471
Parishioners are welcome to send him a birthday card to acknowledge this milestone.
Walking with Purpose...more than a bible study.
Do you long to get your priorities in order?
Have you been going through the motions in your spiritual life but wonder how it all relates to your day-to-day life?
Do you want to know Christ in a personal way?
Opening Your Heart explores the fundamental questions of our Catholic faith and our relationship with Jesus Christ. We'll dig into topics like prayer, reading the Bible, the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives, and what we're supposed to do with suffering that feels senseless. As we're wrestling with our questions through the study, we'll be challenged to open our hearts to the only One who can bring the healing and transformation we so desire.
Classes will begin in the fall on either Tuesday mornings or Wednesday evenings.
FALL IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND THE MUSIC MINISTRY NEEDS YOU!
Do you enjoy singing? Are you looking for a group to join and become a part of at Resurrection? Have you ever wished you could take singing lessons? Did you sing in a high school or college choir years ago? IF YOU ANSWERED YES, (or even a partial yes) to any of the above then the music ministry at RES is the place for you this fall!
I am looking for singers of all ages. We especially need men, both Tenors, and Basses. Don't sing? Well don't worry, I am looking for instrumentalists too! Does someone in your family play the violin, flute, guitar, oboe, drums, or Clarinet? We have a place for them too!
There is a possibility if we get the interest and commitment from enough who are interested, that we may be starting an adult handbell choir as well! What's that? You don't know what a handbell choir is? Stay tuned for more information on the possibility of this fun and exciting group!
Over the next few months, please take the time to think and pray about how you can share your time and talent with the music ministry this fall!
We extend our best wishes and prayers to young people from our parish preparing to return to college this week.
May the Lord bless them with knowledge, insight, confidence, and faith.
Amen
Today's Gospel
Gospel: Luke 13:22-30
Jesus warns that the door to God's kingdom will be locked for those who ignored his wishes. Many people will come from all nations and take their place in God's kingdom. Others will not be recognized by God, and he will reject them.
PREP Registration for 2022/23 IS OPEN

CHURCH AIR CONDITIONING
The “good old summertime” has arrived. During the summer months, the Church air conditioning will be on most days.
- The Church AC is uneven. Some areas of the Church are cooler than other areas. The front few pews on the right side and parts of Our Lady Chapel and rear of the Church are cooler.
- We recommend that parishioners bring a light jacket or sweater if you feel it is too cool in Church.
- If the AC bothers you, we recommend sitting in the middle of the Church where it is not so cool.
- We try to accommodate our people. Some complain that it’s too cool and some complain it’s too warm. We try to be reasonable and sensible. We apologize if you feel uncomfortable.
Thank you for your anticipated understanding
