Pastor's Corner, January 28-29, 2012 PDF Print E-mail

Fr. John J. Bucchino, ofm

This past week we had our first training session to help our neighbors at Elmwood Gardens learn English.  Twelve of our parishioners are volunteering to be conversation instructors in ESL, which gives our parish another way to do outreach to our neighbors.  As I looked at the eager and smiling faces of our twelve parishioners, as they were so much enjoying this training, I realized that what truly makes us joyful and happy is giving of ourselves to others.  St. Francis said:  "it is in giving that we receive."  Whenever we volunteer giving our time, talent or treasure for the sake of those in need, we fulfill the command of Jesus who said to us:  "go out to all the nations and preach the good news of God's kingdom!"  Twelve volunteers. A holy people. A sacred gathering.  A community of faith.   This is our only way to happiness and inner peace.  May God continue to bless our wonderful parish!
