“Message from the Rector”? Who’s that?!

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,Since my arrival to Prospect Heights on July 1st, I have been incredibly busy getting to know the parish community: the staff, the buildings, the neighborhood, and most importantly, the people! I have been blessed to be invited to the homes of some of the elderly of our parish family, to pray with them and bring them the Graces that come from the Sacraments. I have had the opportunity to visit St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Academy and celebrate the “Back to School Mass” with these young and energetic disciples of Christ! I plan to visit the school bi-monthly, and work with the fourth and seventh graders, visiting their classrooms, and offering my support however I can. There have been many blessings in this short time and there have been some challenges. Water has been quite problematic for both the Co-Cathedral and St. Teresa during the recent rain storms. St Teresa hall flooded twice, the boiler room taking on water which ruined the hot-water heater, wooden floors in the rectory buckled with the water, etc.. To quote the prophet Jeremiah, “streams of [living] water flowed”, into the Co-Cathedral undercroft, on the eve of Bishop Sansaricq’s Funeral. Water entered from three of the four corners of the church hall and completely soaked the carpets and center floor. We are working to address the root causes of these floods, and work is being done to remove the carpet that has been badly damaged and lay a replacement floor.Apart from the woes of a landlord for 100 year old buildings, other challenges exist. I am truly grateful for the work of Msgr. Harrington (Co-Cathedral) and the recent pastors of St Teresa of Avila (Fr Borno, Fr Ahern) in what they have done to build the Kingdom of God here in Prospect Heights. The work, however, is far from complete. As I mentioned during my Installation Mass remarks, the work of evangelization is a task for us all! I see great potential here for continued growth! I will need your help and I know that I can count on you! Together we will do incredible things. We will continue to grow as a community of believers, both in number and, more importantly, in holiness! More to come…

God bless.Fr Christopher R HeanueRector

MENSAJE DEL RECTOR

¿“Mensaje del Rector”? ¡¿Quién es ese?!

Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,

Desde mi llegada a Prospect Heights el 1 de julio, he estado increíblemente ocupado conociendo a la comunidad parroquial: el personal, los edificios, el vecindario y, lo más importante, ¡la gente!

He tenido la suerte de ser invitado a los hogares de algunos de los ancianos de nuestra familia para orar con ellos y llevarles las Gracias que provienen de los sacramentos. ¡He tenido la oportunidad de visitar la Academia Católica San Francisco de Asís y celebrar la “Misa de Regreso a Clases” con estos jóvenes y enérgicos discípulos de Cristo! Planeo visitar la escuela dos veces al meses y trabajar con los estudiantes de cuarto y séptimo grado, visitar sus aulas y ofrecer mi apoyo como pueda.

Ha habido muchas bendiciones en este corto tiempo y ha habido algunos desafíos. El agua ha sido bastante problemática tanto para la Concatedral como para Santa Teresa durante las recientes tormentas de lluvia. El salón de Santa Teresa se inundó dos veces, la sala de calderas tomó agua que arruinó el calentador de agua, los pisos de madera en la rectoría se doblaron con el agua, etc. el sótano de la Concatedral, en vísperas del funeral del obispo Sansaricq. El agua entró por tres de las cuatro esquinas del salón de la iglesia y empapó completamente las alfombras y el piso central. Estamos trabajando para abordar las causas fundamentales de estas inundaciones y se está trabajando para quitar la alfombra que se ha dañado gravemente y colocar un piso de reemplazo.

Aparte de los problemas de un propietario por edificios de 100 años, existen otros desafíos. Estoy realmente agradecido por el trabajo de Mons. Harrington (Co-Catedral) y los pastores recientes de Santa Teresa de Ávila (Padre Borno, Padre Ahern) en lo que han hecho para construir el Reino de Dios aquí en Prospect Heights. Sin embargo, el trabajo está lejos de estar completo. Como mencioné durante mis comentarios de la Misa de Instalación, ¡el trabajo de evangelización es una tarea para todos nosotros!

¡Veo un gran potencial aquí para un crecimiento continuo! ¡Necesitaré tu ayuda y sé que puedo contar contigo! Juntos haremos cosas increíbles. Continuaremos creciendo como comunidad de creyentes, tanto en número como, lo que es más importante, ¡en santidad!

Más por venir…

Dios los bendiga.P. Christopher R. HeanueRector

MESSAGE DU RECTEUR« Message du recteur » ? Qui c'est?!

Mes chers frères et sœurs en Christ,

Depuis mon arrivée à Prospect Heights le 1er juillet, j'ai été incroyablement occupé à apprendre à connaître la communauté paroissiale : le personnel, les bâtiments, le quartier et, surtout, les gens!

J'ai eu la chance d'être invitée chez cer-taines personnes âgées de notre famille paroissiale, pour prier avec elles et leur apporter les grâces qui viennent des sacrements. J'ai eu l'occasion de visiter l'Académie catholique Saint-François d'Assise et de célébrer la « messe de la rentrée » avec ces jeunes et énergiques disciples du Christ ! Je prévois de visiter l'école tous les deux mois et de travailler avec les élèves de quatrième et septième année, de visiter leurs salles de classe et d'offrir mon soutien autant que je le peux.

Il y a eu beaucoup de bénédictions au cours de cette courte période et il y a eu quelques défis. L'eau a été assez problématique pour la Cocathédrale et Sainte Thérèse lors des récentes tempêtes de pluie. La salle Sainte Thérèse a été inondée deux fois, la chaufferie prenant de l'eau qui a ruiné le chauffe-eau, les planchers de bois du presbytère se sont déformés par l'eau, etc. le sous-sol de la Cocathédrale, à la veille des funérailles de Mgr Sansericq. L'eau est entrée de trois des quatre coins de la salle paroissiale et a complètement trempé les tapis et le sol central. Nous nous efforçons de nous attaquer aux causes profondes de ces inondations, et des travaux sont en cours pour retirer le tapis qui a été gravement endommagé et poser un sol de remplacement.

En dehors des déboires d'un propriétaire pour des immeubles centenaires, d'autres défis existent. Je suis vraiment reconnaissant pour le travail de Mgr Harrington (Co-cathédrale) et des récents pasteurs de Sainte Thérèse d'Avila (P. Borno, P. Ahern) dans ce qu'ils ont fait pour construire le Royaume de Dieu ici à Prospect Heights. Mais le travail est loin d'être terminé. Comme je l'ai mentionné lors de mes remarques sur la messe d'installation, le travail d'évangélisation est une tâche pour nous tous !

Je vois un grand potentiel ici pour une croissance continue! J'aurai besoin de votre aide et je sais que je peux compter sur vous ! Ensemble, nous ferons des choses incroyables. Nous continuerons à grandir en tant que communauté de croyants, à la fois en nombre et, plus important encore, en sainteté !

Plus à venir… Dieu vous protège.Père Christopher R HeanueRecteur

DISCIPLESHIP IS STEWARDSHIP IN ACTION!As disciples, we are challenged to seek Christ actively and not be satisfied with the status quo of our lives. The disciple is not afraid to take on new and challenging responsibilities while thinking “outside the box.” The disciple displays the face of God! Truly, God longs to know us and love us unconditionally, if we will just allow Him.

But, would others know I am a disciple of Christ?

How can you express your discipleship, your relationship with Him?

Prayerfully consider becoming a part of the following ministries: Lector, Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion or Usher.

If you are interested in serving as a lector or extraordinary minister, please contact Tom Rozinski at 646-866-3192.If you are interested in serving as an usher, please contact Deacon Manuel Quintana at 917-250-1921.

SACRED WRITING SERIESThe Continuing Faith Formation Group helps our faith to grow and us to live it in ways that are concrete and active. Its Sacred Writing Serie continues throughout the year. It’s always open to every adult and teenager.

Starting on Tuesday, September 28th, and every Tuesday and Thursday evening through the fall, our reflections will center on the Book of Proverbs. We’ll talk about its place in the Old Testament, Wisdom’s invitation and her advice and guidance, and many individual proverbs. Each session last for an hour.

With people from St. Joseph’s and St. Teresa’s and some from farther away – Atlanta, Chicago, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, we’ll talk about where these sacred writing came from, what hey mean, how they have been used by those who came before us, and how they apply to us today.

To learn more about the Proverbs series or get the numbers and codes to become part of it, email Deacon Manuel at [email protected] or call him at 212-343-2500.

RCIA 2021/2022 STARTS SOONRICA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It’s the path adults take to become Catholic or to prepare for sacraments they’ve not yet received.

amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease.”
