Vision Statement
Incarnation Parish is a Roman Catholic community centered around the Lord Jesus, a living sign of hope to all that the Word made flesh dwells among us. His presence and love is encountered in all areas of our life together, especially in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in Sacred Scripture and in the Sacraments. We seek to make the Lord's presence and love known through service and edu-cation, through evangelization and through con-tinual conversion and renewal in Him. We entrust our life together and our sharing in the mission of Christ to the protection and intercession of Mary,
Mother of the Lord and our Mother.
Holy Cross Celebration – Wed,
Sept 14 – 7:30PM. Be there this
Wednesday night on the Feast of the
Holy Cross to give thanks and praise
for the Victory won by Jesus’ Cross.
Through scripture, prayer and song
recall and celebrate that Tree that
brought new life to all the world.
Service will end with blessing of Crosses and Crucifixes
– so bring them from your homes and join us on the 14th.

BRING A FRIEND TO CHURCH!
FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN
I love this time of year. I always have. Growing up I didn’t exactly love school but I certainly didn’t mind it.
And even though I was a bit of a beach bum, the cooler weather was always welcomed. I guess what I loved so much
about September was the possibilities it brought with a new school year or a new pastoral year. Even the dying leaves
that bring so much color will return with the promise of Spring.
This September brings us new promise of rebirth in our 90th year here at Incarnation. The Ministry Fair going
on in the lower church is just brimming with possibilities for individuals and indeed our whole parish. When Jesus
called the Twelve he simply invited them: “Come and See!” Will you come down and see. Sometimes we need a little
help to really see the good that is being done; the good that I can do.
With September and the falling of the leaves we see trees at their core. Sometimes we rediscover things that
were hidden by the leaves. Driving on the Belt Parkway I will soon be able to see again from the highway my old parish
Church of St. Clare in Rosedale as the leaves give way. But I guarantee the leaves will return come spring.
This September as leaves fall here at Incarnation we are each called to Arise Together in Christ. This diocesan
experience is an opportunity to talk about and share our faith experiences of Jesus Christ with others. This sharing—
how the Church grew from day one—is a chance to help others grow in the Faith and allow our own Faith be
strengthened. It’s funny how at times the simplest things can be the most difficult. The Arise Together in Christ
experience is intended for small groups of 6-10 people who will gather in homes all throughout Hollis and Queens
Village for 90 minutes simply to talk about Jesus and His Good News.
This weekend you can find out more information in person at the Arise table in the lower church. Next weekend
we look to begin signing up people as they choose what group time and day that they would like to be a part of.
Certainly, the leaves are beginning to fall but here at Incarnation we are still reaching for new heights as we
begin our 90th Pastoral Year.
God Bless and Come and See!,

LIVING LIGHTS. Securing an Annual Living Light
Votive Candle to Honor a Loved One, Remember
a Special Intention, or Mark a Milestone is a con-
tinual and wonderful way to celebrate sentiments
and offer intercessions of remembrance, hope and
gratitude. Two wall mounted electric candle
stands now hang in our church on either side of the newly
restored and expanded Saints’ Shrine. These unique and
inviting candles are made of real wax with electrified illu-
mination to insure your Living Light burns brightly
throughout the year. A plaque displaying the name of
your loved one, your intention, or your milestone will be
mounted before your Living Light Votive Candle.
Plaques will remain for the year you have secured your
Living Light and may be renewed or rededicated for addi-
tional 12 month periods. In addition to its rightful place
before your Living Light in the Saints’ Shrine, your Loved
One, Special Intention, or Milestone will also be included
in the Living Light Section of the Parish Website. See the

The Shepherd Speaks
Mother Teresa, in all aspects of her life, was a generous
dispenser of divine mercy, making herself available for
everyone through her welcome and defence of human
life, those unborn and those abandoned and discarded.
She was committed to defending life, ceaselessly pro-
claiming that “the unborn are the weakest, the smallest, the most vulner-
able”. She bowed down before those who were spent, left to die on the
side of the road, seeing in them their God-given dignity; she made her
voice heard before the powers of this world, so that they
might recognize their guilt for the crime – the crimes! –
of poverty they created. For Mother Teresa, mercy was
the “salt” which gave flavour to her work, it was the
“light” which shone in the darkness of the many who no
longer had tears to shed for their poverty and suffering.
Homily, Mass of Canonization
Mustard Seed Ministry: Beginning in October at the
10:30 Mass. At the end of the Opening
Prayer children from ages four to seven will
be invited to the lower church to hear the
reading(s) in a special way by a trained
catechist. This may include storytelling, creating a simple
craft, singing a song, etc. At the end of the Prayer of the
Faithful of the Mass the children will return and sit back
with their parents and families. For more information see
Mrs. Fouche after Mass or call the Rel Ed Office.
Parish Registration ~ We invite anyone who attends
our Masses to register in our parish. This will give you the
opportunity to be acquainted with the various events, min-
isters and activities of our parish and enable us to serve
you better with your needs.
When you get back from
your summer plans, look for
more details on how you
can get involved in the
Arise Together in Christ
Experience that offers the
opportunity for new friendships, stronger faith, and a
deeper relationship with God through prayer and the
Scriptures in a small group setting.
Sign up Weekend at Incarnation is scheduled for Septem-
ber 18. If you have any questions please contact Fr.
O’Connor, Fr. Chris or Mrs. Marie Fouche for more infor-
