The Lord Jesus the Blessed Pelican
                              “Pie Pelicane Jesu Domine”

At the 12 Noon Mass on Sunday, March 3rd, 2019, Bishop Checchio blessed the new Altar panel
with the ancient symbol of the Holy Eucharist, the “pelican.” This symbol dates back to the 4th
century and a fresco of it can be found in the upper room in Jerusalem where the Last Supper
took place.
I will be placing a special plaque on the back of the Altar panel with names of any deceased
family members or friends. Every time Mass is celebrated at the Altar of Sacrifice they will be
lifted up in prayer - or - if you would like to make a donation as a gift from you or your family
that would be possible. Your family would be remembered at every Mass as well. If you would
like to make a donation, please fill out the form below and place it in the collection basket or
drop it off at the parish center. Donations will be acknowledged in the bulletin.
The donation is $100. per name or as a gift from you or your family. Deadline for donations is
Sunday, March 31st.

I/we would like to make a donation towards the cost and installation of the Altar Panel with the
ancient symbol of the Eucharist the “pelican.” The Latin inscription “Pie Pelicane Jesu Domine”

SNOW REMOVAL APPEAL
                                   FOR ST. AUGUSTINE PARISH

While the total amount of snow is down from last year, there have been several snow storms that
occurred that needed immediate attention for the school and parish activities.
As of March 5th the amount of bills have totaled over $17,000 (with November storm $19,000) and there
could be more storms in the future days of March! Unfortunately we have almost lost an entire Sunday
collection to pay these bills. L & S Contracting have provided great services since I have been here for
the past 24 years and a few years while Msgr. Capano was the pastor. These are the dates we had to
clear the parking lot and sidewalks from the snow/ice storms:
                 November 15th storm: (parish family donated $2,000 to pay that bill!!!)

                                                March 4
                                        And more to come?????

If you are able to help your parish pay these bills, over the next few weeks, kindly put in your own
special envelope in the regular collection marked:
                                          SNOW REMOVAL
                             With your family name and envelope number
                                 so we can credit your parish account

As always the parishioners of Saint Augustine are outstanding in their generosity and support of your
parish! Thank you for allowing your pastor to sleep better! Be assured of my love and prayers!
