MODLITEBNÝ ZOZNAM CHORÝCH A ZOSNULÝCH Mená zostávajú na našom modlitebnom zozname chorých tri mesiace a na zozname zosnulých jeden rok.

PARKOVANIE KEĎ IDETE K LEKÁROVI Farníci, ktorí cez týždeň potrebujú navštíviť lekára v blízkom okolí kostola, môžu zaparkovať na malom parkovisku pri kostole. Ak chcete využiť túto možnosť, musíte sa prihlásiť v kancelárii farského úradu, kde dostanete parkovaciu kartu, ktorú treba nechať za predným sklom auta.

FARSKÁ PÚŤ DO SVÄTEJ ZEME Plánujeme púť do Svätej zeme od 9. do 17. marca 2020. Ak máte záujem ísť s nami, musíte si spraviť rezervácie a vyplatiť všetky poplatky do 10. septembra 2019. O ďalšie informácie a rezervácie kontaktujte Lisu Calabrese na adrese [email protected] alebo na čísle 212-734-4613. Zostávajú už len tri voľné miesta.

Avenue (337 East 64th Street, tel. 212- 879- 9796). Parkovací lístok, ktorý vám dajú v garáži, si dajte opečiatkovať po sv. omši v dolnej hale (kde mávame kávu) a zaplaťte $3. V garáži už platiť nebudete, len dajte zamestnancovi opečiatkovaný lístok, a farnosť potom uhradí poplatok priamo garáži. Každý, kto parkuje počas sv. omše na parkovisku vedľa kostola, nech nechá na papieriku za predným sklom auta svoje telefónne číslo na mobil, aby sa mu mohli dovolať tí, ktorí budú potrebovať skôr odísť.

Jána Nepomuckého vám pravidelne prinášame priame prenosy nedeľných sv. omší v slovenčine o 10.15 hod. a v angličtine o 12.00 hod., ktoré môžete sledovať na našej facebookovej stránke LUX New York . Okrem toho približne raz za mesiac v sobotu o 10.00 hod. z nášho kostola vysielame naživo na TV LUX slovenskú sv. omšu, na ktorú vás srdečne pozývame. Každý druhý utorok si tiež môžete pozrieť reláciu Spojení oceánom so zaujímavým hosťom so slovenskými koreňmi žijúcim v USA alebo v Kanade. Každú druhú nedeľu vám tiež ponúkame zaujímavú bilingválnu reláciu Americko-slovenské inšpirácie, v ktorej predstavujeme zaujímavé katolícke projekty z okolia New York City. Počas letných mesiacov bude prestávka vo vysielaní relácií a sobotných sv. omší, nedeľné sv. omše budete môcť naďalej sledovať naživo na facebooku.

ST. ANNE’S CIRCLE FOR CHRISTIAN SERVICE St. Anne’s Circle is a parish group based on Roosevelt Island. It has been formed to assist our clergy with our community outreach to the sick and those in need of prayer. Participants pray the rosary for our priests and for our parish, assist Fr. Ronelo with small tasks for our homebound and in-hospital parishioners, and support the sacristans to make our church setting welcoming and clean. Please see Regina Robinson or Judy Quintana following either the 8:30am or 10:30am Mass on Sunday.

PASTORAL COUNCIL The Pastoral Council’s purpose is to serve as an advisory board to the pastor to help develop liturgical and social ministries, as well as stewardship and fundraising for our growing community. Its focus is on the revitalization and reorganization of the Ministry of Hospitality (formerly Ushers/Greeters), lector training and development, outreach to the seemingly transient resident population of Roosevelt Island, and cultural and musical outreach events at St. Frances. Within the past three years we’ve had much progress in pastoral and professional leadership and the groundbreaking and “autonomous” use of our new facilities. Please continue to pray for those serving on the Pastoral Council. There are positive developments all around us. Please continue to stay involved in parish life by engaging in all of our media resources as well as participating in all of our liturgical and non-liturgical events and celebrations.

Stewardship is an important part of keeping our Parish strong. Your increased donation is an investment in the future of our Parish and we have multiple ways to give to make it as easy as possible. Please consider what you can do to help.

We also offer e-giving through Faith Direct. Giving through Faith Direct is easy in a world where having cash on hand is becoming much less common. It allows you to give how much you want and how often you want – it even includes our 2nd collections. You can charge your donations to a credit or debit card and will automatically receive a tax letter from Faith Direct at the end of the year. For more information go to faithdirect.net. When you are ready, simply click “Give Now” and enter: NY781 for St. John Nepomucene NY782 for St. Frances X. Cabrini Please remember that signing up for Faith Direct does not register you with the Parish. COFFEE HOUR

The coffee hour will be always the second Sunday of every month. The next coffee hour will be the second Sunday of August, August 11th after the 8:30am and 10:30am Mass. The following coffee hour will be on September 8th.

It is always a good time to evaluate ways how you can help the parish. Volunteers are needed in many different areas.

LECTOR MINISTRY Would you like to read the word of our Lord during Masses? We are in need of your talents. If you are interested, contact Regina Robinson at [email protected].
