CHALICE FOR
VOCATIONS PROGRAM
As you might be aware, due to the sick-
ness of Frank Gaglione (who used to as-
sign 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 in-
crease 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. Thank you!

THANK YOU
We would like to thank everyone very much for the
thoughtful gifts of appreciation, as we have been able
to use your generous gifts to assist Father during his
time of sickness and recovery.
We feel blessed that God has allowed us to be
available for Father Frank at this time when he needs
care after he has always been there for so many of
us.
We are preparing Father for his 24 day stay at Mt.
Sinai, and as always, if you wish to do something to
help, Father asks to please continue to keep him in
your prayers. He wants you to know that he sends his
blessings and prayers to you all.
Thank you,
Don and Margaret Roche
PASTOR’S NOTES
Today is a sad yet hopeful day. It is the 44 th anni-
versary of the Supreme Court decision sanctioning
the murder of unborn children at any time during
pregnancy. But over the years the lie of “choice” and
“women’s health” through abortion has been seen to
be an empty mantra to make money and promote
moral evils like contraception, abortion, sex outside
of marriage, and more recently homosexual
“unions.” All this by people and groups such as
Planned Parenthood that prosper financially without
concern for the women, men, families and society
that are harmed physically, psychologically, eco-
nomically, and morally by such evils.
Young people are more and more pro-life, realizing
that they are “survivors” who could have been le-
gally killed in the womb.
This year the March for Life will be held in Wash-
ington, DC, on Friday, January 27, 2017. We are
once again teaming up with Assumption Parish to
provide a bus for the march.
I hope as many as possible will sign up to go from
our parish. It is a great witness to life and the sight of
so many young people is truly inspiring and hopeful.
Those who cannot go may lend their support through
prayer, especially the Rosary. It was the Rosary that
has temporarily turned our country away from the
brink of tyranny and Godlessness and it will be the
Rosary and our sacrifices that will end the scourge of
abortion.
In Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Frank Samoylo

GOD IS CALLING YOU TO A DEEPER
RELATONSHIP WITH HIM If we consider that God is the Divine Bridegroom
and the Church is the Bride, then the prophets can be
seen as “spiritual marriage counselors.” They afflict
the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, calling us
to return to our covenant relationship with God.
They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers
of sin, and announce the blessings of faithfulness,
their prophetic words speak to us even today, as they
draw us closer to our heavenly Bridegroom.
St. John the Evangelist Parish, 221 east Lake Blvd.,
Mahopac, NY will begin The Prophets: Messengers

pm and Monday, January 23rd at 9:45am. There will
be 10 sessions. To register, fill out the form in the
