MEMORIALS: The Sanctuary Lamp and the
Bread and Wine may be memorialized in memory of
a loved one or for a special intention. The cost for
each is $25.00. Please call the rectory to reserve.
Mass Reservations A reservation system for Sunday Masses is in place with
a seating capacity of 80 per Mass. This reflects 25% of
our official capacity. Although the capacity was raised to
34%, OLS will continue to retain the 25%. If a particular
Mass “maxes out” at 25% for three consecutive weeks,
the “Re-opening Task Force” will be consulted as to how
to best accommodate the additional attendees. We
continue to encourage all parishioners to use the
reservation link which is located on our website
www.olscc.com Please print your confirmation and
bring it to Mass with you. Members of the Task Force
will be on hand before and after Mass to assist attendees.
Family “units” may sit together.
Remember…You do not have an obligation to go to
Mass during the coronavirus pandemic. Cardinal Dolan
has dispensed us from the obligation to attend Sunday
Mass at this time. Please join us for Mass in the church
only when you feel safe and comfortable to do so. As an
alternative, you can watch Mass on-line or on T.V. and
make an Act of Spiritual Communion (see below) when
you are unable to physically receive the Eucharist.
Prayer for a Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most
Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things and I
desire to receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you
sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there
And unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
O.L.S. Face Masks As a result of the pandemic and the need to remain safe,
the O.L.S. Lady’s Guild is selling soft and comfortable
2-ply breathable polyester face masks. The cost is $10
each or 4 for $35. If you wish to order, please email
[email protected] or contact Margaret
Kamna at 914-826-5890. Let’s show our parish pride and
purchase a mask(s).

address for you to receive communications (only
from O.L.S.) please provide your email address to
Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time September 6, 2020
A Note from Fr. Tim
Tuesday, September 15 is the Feast of Our Lady of
Sorrows, the patroness of our parish. On this day, we
honor not only the personal sorrows of Mary, Mother of
Jesus – but the sufferings she shares as Mother of the
Church.
Since the onset of the pandemic, many events have been
cancelled, re-scheduled or re-purposed. As a parish
family, we are not cancelling nor re-scheduling our
celebration. However, we will re-purpose.
This year we will celebrate our Patroness’ Feast Day
on Sunday, September 13 with an outdoor Mass
beginning at 12:00 noon. The Mass will be held on the
lawn at the back of the large parking lot. Parishioners are
asked to maintain social distances (at least 6 feet), bring
their own chairs and wear our special O.L.S. masks at all
times which can be purchased by visiting:
www.ourlady’[email protected].
Unfortunately, we will be unable to break bread together
afterwards. A special homemade treat will be given to all
families as they exit the Mass and return to their cars by
the members of the Parish Council. In case of rain, the
Mass will be held in the church. May Mary’s faith and
courage inspire us in our trials!
Please consult our parish website for the parish bulletin
and other important announcements.
This Sunday’s Readings
First Reading: Ezekiel 33:7-9
God has appointed the prophet as a watchman over
his people. If he fails to give them warning against
sin, he will be held responsible.
Second Reading: Romans 13:8-10
In this beautiful letter, Paul says that all
commandments are contained in this: “You shall
love your neighbor as yourself.”
Gospel: Matthew 18:15-20
Jesus explains to his disciples how to respond to
those who wrong them – with gentleness and
practical wisdom. He promises that whenever “two
or three are gathered in my name, there am I in their
midst.” ©1999 Bon Venture Services, Inc.

O.L.S.’s Religious Education program will begin on
Sunday, September 20, 2020 and end on Sunday,
May 23, 2021. It will be different than in the past as we
deal with the Cornoavirus pandemic.
From September 2020 - January 2021, our program will
be a hybrid model family-based (remote learning) with
at-home assignments and monthly in-person catechesis
(family gatherings) in the church which is already set up
for “distancing” according to NY State guidelines. All
materials - books, visual materials and support will be
supplied to the students. The program will be reviewed
prior to the start of the January 2021- May 2021
semester.
Please do not wait to register. All families
must be registered parishioners of O.L.S. parish in order
for your children to attend our Religious Education
program. If you have any questions or for registration
forms, please email Mrs. Jen DeMilio at
[email protected] or call her at 914-949-3896. We
look forward to educating your children in the Catholic
Faith.
~~~~~~~~~~
Pontifical Holy Land Collection – September 13 Because the Covid-19 pandemic precluded the normal
celebration of Holy Week and Good Friday, Pope Francis
has approved that a collection be taken in September near
the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. O.L.S. will
take up this collection on Sunday, September 13. The
Christian communities in the Holy Land have been
suffering for many years. Your offering allows God’s
people to continue their evangelical presence in the Holy
Land. Your support helps the Franciscan Friars to
preserve the sacred shrines, maintain schools and
charitable structures.
~~~~~~~~~~
O.L.S. Collections The weekly collection remains absolutely essential to
parish operations, especially during this pandemic.
Thank you to those parishioners who are placing their
contributions into the collection basket at Sunday Mass,
dropping off or mailing their contributions to the rectory
office, participating in electronic giving by using
We Share or “making up” their contributions
Congratulations to Nolan Constantino, Owen Dowicz, Dominic Norfleet and Lily Onorato who received the
Sacrament of Confirmation at Our Lady of Sorrows on Saturday, August 22.
and Congratulations to Sebastian Pirone and Sabrina Willis
who received their First Holy Communion at Our Lady of Sorrows on Saturday, August 29.
Two Celebrations
Labor Day – September 7 The first Labor Day was held in 1882. Its origins stem
from the desire of the Central Labor Union to create a
holiday for workers. It became a federal holiday in 1894.
It was originally intended that the day would include a
street parade to allow the public to appreciate the work of
the trade and labor organizations. After the parade, a
festival was to be held to amuse local workers and their
families. In later years, prominent men and women gave
speeches. This is less common now, but is sometimes
seen in election years.
“God commanded us to inhabit the earth and care for it
until a new heaven and a new earth came to be. To
accomplish God’s purpose, we work with God. Let us
therefore bless God from our hearts for his wonderful
plan and pray that God will protect and sustain us as we
work. On this day we thank God for all who still have
jobs. And Lord help those seeking employment to find
it.” In celebration of Labor Day, the rectory office will
be closed on Monday, September 7.
~~~~~~~~~~
Birth of Mary – September 8 We can see every human birth as a call for new hope in
the world. The love of two human beings has joined with
God in His creative work. The loving parents have
shown hope in a world filled with travail. The new child
has the potential to be a channel of God’s love and peace
to the world.
This is all true in a magnificent way in Mary. If Jesus is
the perfect expression of God’s love, Mary is the
foreshadowing of that love. If Jesus has brought the
fullness of salvation, Mary is its dawning.
Birthday celebrations bring happiness to the celebrant as
well as to family and friends. Next to the birth of Jesus,
Mary’s birth offers the greatest possible happiness to the
world. Each time we celebrate her birth we can
confidently hope for an increase of peace in our hearts
and in the world at large.
