STATEMENT BY

 MONSIGNOR DONALD M. DWYER, PASTOR, CHURCH OF RESURRECTION, RYE

Our parish stands with Israel and all innocent lives taken and affected by the Holy Lands war which began on October 7th.

Violence is not a religious act, and cannot ever be claimed as Godly. As Hamas hides behind their atrocities, innocent men, women, and children are dying.

This profound evil affects every corner of Israel, touching all its people, including the Christian community.

And in the wake of these attacks, politics must be put aside. Pope Francis says, “The Middle East does not  need war, but peace, a peace built on justice and courage of fraternity.”

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, wrote “My heart goes out to the assaulted people of Israel, and to our Jewish community that we cherish as friends and neighbors in New York. “

The Cardinal continued “A secure and safe home is surely intended by God  for all His children wherever they may be and to have  that attacked is a sacrilege and to defend it is righteous.”

Let us humbly pray that the love and peace of God comfort all who are living with these atrocities of pure evil.

May God‘s perpetual light shine within those who are afraid, those who are grieving, and those who suffer from the unthinkable darkness that has plagued Israel.

May we all take comfort in knowing that God stands beside us while our prayers are lifted up for a speedy end to this terrible war.

And to all our Jewish neighbors and Jewish friends, as you stood with us during times of great injustice, our hearts, sorrow, and pain are with you now, and always.

Amen.

Please join us for a children's rosary on Monday, October 16, 2023 at 3 pm in the church by Our Lady's Alter.

Light refreshments served in the playground, after we pray.  Make a new friend and learn more about the rosary.

All are welcome.

Please join us for a  peaceful, prayerful presence for Mothers and Babies, TODAY SUNDAY,  OCTOBER 15th, from 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm in the Kohls Plaza, Port Chester

Dear Parishioners, 

The POTS Leadership Committee needs volunteers to bring the food donations from the church vestibule to the closet in the church basement for the upcoming POTS Thanksgiving Luncheon.

These donations are heavy, so please do not volunteer if you have back problems!   Volunteers will be needed from November 4th until the day before Thanksgiving. We are looking for two volunteers for each weekday and four volunteers for both Saturday and Sunday.

This is an excellent opportunity to perform some meaningful community service! Your time and effort will be greatly appreciated, and generous community service hours will be awarded. 

If you are interested in volunteering, please get in touch with Maureen Gomez at mogomez65@gmail.com. 

Thank you for your continued support and generosity. Let's work together to make this year's POTS Thanksgiving Luncheon a success.

Sincerely, 

The POTS Leadership Committee

Today's Gospel 

Matthew 22:1-14

Once more speaking to the chief priests and the elders, Jesus relates the parable of the wedding banquet. A King, preparing a wedding banquet for his son, summons all the invited guests.  When, after several invitations, no guests arrive, the King commands his servants to “go out into the byroads and invite anyone you come upon.” Again, Jesus warns the elders, “The invited are many, the elect are few.”
