CHALICE FOR
VOCATIONS PROGRAM
As you might be aware, due to the sickness of Frank
Gaglione (who used to assign the chalice to families)
there has been an interruption in the program. Please
keep Frank in your prayers. We would like to
continue to assign the chalice to families so they can
pray for an increase in vocations for the priesthood.
Every week a family that signed up is called forward
during the Mass (whichever they attend) and is
presented with the Chalice and a folder with prayers
to pray for an increase in vocations. You may place
the Chalice on your dinner table, light the candles,
and pray as a family before dinner. We welcome
families of all sizes, including those who are living
alone.. To sign up, please contact the rectory at 914-
737-4705 to be put on the Chalice program list. If
you have already been part of this program and wish
to continue, please contact the rectory again as the
list has been misplaced.
ROSARIES NEEDED
Currently there is a woman who volunteers for
Birthright who not only actively distributes coats,
hats and gloves but who also hands out rosaries. If
there is anyone in the Church who would be willing
to either make or donate rosaries to her that would be
a great way to participate in evangelization. Coats,
hats, and gloves are also needed. Please call Susan
Goderre, Advocate for Those with a Need for
specific details at 914-261-6842.
SACRED RELICS OF THE SAINTS
TREASURES OF THE CHURCH St. Columbanus Parish is blessed to have a presenta-
tion and exposition of the sacred relics on Monday,
February 20th at 7:00pm at St. Columbanus Church.
We hope it will bring many healing graces to our
community. You are invited to venerate over 150
relics, some as old as 2000 years. Among the treas-
ures will be relics of St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of
Lisieux (the “Little Flower”), St. Francis of Assisi,
St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas, St.
Faustina Kowalska, St. John Paul, St. Teresa of Cal-
cutta, Bl. Pier Giorgio, Ven. Fr. Michael McGivney
and others. In addition, a portion of the veil of Our
Lady will be present, as well as one of the largest
remaining pieces of the True Cross in the world. In
the Church’s history, many miracles and healings
have been worked in the presence of relics, and
many have been healed through this ministry. You
are encouraged to bring your articles of devotion
(such as rosaries, holy cards etc.) and pictures of ill
friends/family members which you will be able to
touch to the reliquaries as a means of intercession.
