URGENT NEWS  Sunday night/Monday morning (July24-25)  our NET Catholic Business and Finance Office was broken into. The State Trooper and his investigators spent most of Monday taking depositions and investigating the scene. The only item that appears to have been taken is our bank vault. No files or parishioner records have been disturbed. We have notified all the pertinent people at the diocese at this time, including Father Jorge. 
What can you do?  If you have written or sent in checks that would have been received at our office or your parish on or after July 19, including this weekend’s Saturday/Sunday collection, the Holy Cross Garage Sale, or Fr. Peter’s Mission, you may wish to call your financial institution to stop payment on them. This also includes the automatic checks from your financial institution to our Finance Office through our regular United States Post Office. It does not include the We Share checks which get sent to us electronically. They will still arrive to our accounts as usual.  As with any check that goes missing, please be vigilant in keeping careful watch over your checking accounts in the coming weeks.
At this time all churches will need to be locked up when Staff is not on the premises.  The churches will be open during Mass times and regular office hours.
Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers as we try to process and navigate through these feelings of loss, helplessness, and anger.

• Please, pay attention.
  Some parishioners have received emails from Fr. Jorge, asking for money. These are not his emails. He never asks for money, for personal expenses or for someone else. Play attention that his email is fr.jorge.ramirez@dor.org. This is an email from the Diocese of Rochester, and he doesn’t use Gmail, Yahoo, or another email server for pastoral purposes. In addition, he always finishes his email: “God bless you, and may the Blessed Virgin Mary be with you always!” If you, or somebody who you know, receive these kind of emails, please report them to the authorities. Please, contact Fr. Jorge if you have any question or concern.

• Thank you very much to each one who participated in the celebration of St. Anthony's Day. Your participation in the Eucharist and the Dish-to-pass dinner makes a spirit of solidarity to work together as only one family. God bless all of you, and may the Blessed Virgin Mary be with you always!

Let us start with Deacon George Kozak. You know him. The parishes will not have daily Masses during my time in Colombia; however, Deacon Kozak will preside at Communion services for our three parishes. Please, go to these services, pray, and receive Jesus present in the Eucharist.

Fr. Peter Adu Boahen Nkansah from the diocese of Oubassi in Ghana will be with us on July 23^rd and 24^th. Probably, you know him already because he worked in the past in the diocese of Rochester. His last assignment was in Rush, NY. He will be preaching about the missions for his Diocese. Let us welcome him and be generous in our help for his mission.

Archbishop Charles Balvo also will join us. He will preside at  the Eucharists on July 31^st and August 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, and 7^th. You know him. He is the Apostolic Nuncio to Austria. He usually comes every year to share quality time with his family and of course with us. Let us welcome Archbishop Balvo and pray for him and his ministry.

We stand before You, Holy Spirit,
as we gather together in Your name.

With You alone to guide us,
make Yourself at home in our hearts;
Teach us the way we must go
and how we are to pursue it.

We are weak and sinful;
do not let us promote disorder.
Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path
nor partiality influence our actions.

Let us find in You our unity
so that we may journey together to eternal life
and not stray from the way of truth
and what is right.

All this we ask of You,
who are at work in every place and time,
in the communion of the Father and the Son,
forever and ever.
Amen.
