Special Collection for Holy Trinity’s

Liturgical Music We are having our second annual Special Collection for Holy Trinity’s Liturgical Music. Your donations will help not only with our exceptional Schola Cantorum that sings weekly at the 11:15 Mass, but also with the glorious music featured at Christmas and Easter. We ask for your usual generosity. There are special envelopes available at the entrance to the church.

“Sit Down” and Be Counted

As required by the Archdiocese each autumn, we shall count the number of men, women and children who participate at Masses TODAY and next weekend, and send the average attendance number to the Chancery Office. Last year 1050 parishioners participated at Sunday Mass regularly.

Now here’s a heartwarming story the pastor received about our parish you will never forget, believe me! We received the following shed a tear, said a prayer. Hi, I am not a Catholic, although I was probably supposed to be. I live on the West Coast. In 1930 my father was left in the rear pew of your church. It was on March 3, 1930, and the NY Foundling Hospital guessed he may have been 2 months old. I never knew him because he died when I was two months old in 1950. I plan to visit your church in October just to sit in the last pew. Even though I never got to know my father, of course I will always love him. What are your hours and would you have any information on that time period? Now, I know it is a long shot (because I am 66), but maybe someone else in the parish knew something or Margaret Dempsey still has family in the area.

DRESS by Paul Turner Our Sunday best used to represent the finest we owned. Time was church was formal, and folks dressed that way. Now it’s different. People dome to church wearing everything from tuxedos to cutoffs, from formal gowns to sandals. Society clings to few rules about dress. Under the roof of God’s house, some do’s and don’ts prevail, but there is no telling how people will dress. The advance of casual wear has succeeded in many parts of society, not just churches. Even when invitations specify formal wear, business clothes or casual dress, respondents may remain confused. Expectations for Sunday dress vary. A younger participant’s outfit reveals some flesh. Some see no problem; others find it scandalous. Some cannot afford nice clothes; others are coming from work or stop on their way to play. At its best, the variety of church dress displays the universality of the call to worship. At its worst it shows carelessness and confusion. The harrumph-o-meter generally short circuits when a worshipper, who arrived expecting a place in the pew, steps in as a communion minister or reader. Having communion offered to you from someone dressed in shorts and a grunge t-shirt may shake the most fervent worshipper’s belief in the Body of Christ. However, ministers generally prefer to dress right. Then duty calls them unprepared, they do their best with hearts of faith, seeking to serve, not to offend. When we prepare for church, charity demands consideration in our dress and moderation in our judgment.

San Lucas Evangelista Octubre 18

Autor del tercer Evangelio y de los Hechos de los Apóstoles, en el que se narran los orígenes de la vida de la Iglesia hasta la primera prisión de Pablo en Roma. Posiblemente escribió entre 70AD y 80AD. Probablemente en los dos años que San Pablo estuvo preso Cesarea (Hechos 20, 21). Se destaca como evangelista y como historiador. Lucas recibió la fe alrededor del año 40. Habrá conocido a Pablo en Antioquía. Ninguno de los dos conocieron a Jesús durante su vida en la tierra. Sin embargo Lucas supo escribir cuidadosamente guiado por el Espíritu Santo, lo que escuchó de los testigos oculares. Es el único que narra la infancia de Jesús y el que trata más sobre La Virgen María. Quizás porque ella misma le instruyó en Efeso. Lucas escribe para el mundo gentil. Resalta el aspecto universal de la redención. La predicación a todas las naciones, comenzando por Jerusalén (Cf Lc. 24, 46-47). El está conciente de los peligros de la legalidad judía, las herejías y la frivolidad pagana. Su Evangelio muestra una atención especial hacia los pobres, los pecadores arrepentidos y hacia la oración.

Lucas nace de padres paganos en Antioquia y es el único escritor del Nuevo Testamento que no es israelita. Es de cultura griega y dirigió su mensaje a gentiles cristianos. Estaba muy bien educado en la literatura y era médico. San Lucas fue discípulo fiel de San Pablo quién lo describe como "Lucas, el médico querido" (Col 4,14). Desde su prisión de Roma Pablo dice a su discípulo Timoteo: «Lucas sólo queda conmigo». San Juan Crisóstomo le llamó: «Incansable en el trabajo, ansioso de saber y sufrir, Lucas no acertaba a separarse de Pablo».

En los Hechos de los apóstoles, Lucas se incluye en los viajes de San Pablo: "fuimos a... navegamos a..." En uno de esos viajes se embarcaron desde Troas a Fenicia. Otro viaje los llevó desde Fenicia a Jerusalén. Mas tarde fueron juntos a Roma, en cuyo viaje sufrieron naufragio y otros peligros. Según la tradición murió mártir en Acaya, colgado de un árbol. Sus reliquias se encuentran en la Basílica de Santa Justina, Padua, Italia. Estudios conducidos allí en 1998 concuerdan con los datos sobre San Lucas conocidos por la tradición. Patrón de: artistas, doctores, cirujanos, solteros, carniceros, encuadernadores, cerveceros, escultores, notarios... Representado con: libro, novillo alado, médico, pintando ícono de Nuestra Señora. Según la tradición fue también pintor de la virgen.
