WEEKEND OF OCTOBER 2-3, 2021:
SPECIAL COLLECTION FOR THE VICTIMS OF HURRICANE IDA
Bishop DiMarzio has asked all parishes in the Diocese to take up a special, voluntary collection for the
victims of Hurricane Ida. Here at Holy Name of Jesus, we will do so the weekend of October 2 - 3. The
proceeds from this collection will be distributed, as direct assistance, to parishioners and parishes in the
Brooklyn Diocese that have been affected by Hurricane Ida.
All loose cash, as well as checks and envelopes marked "Ida Relief", that is deposited in the baskets during
the Second Collection, will be sent to the Diocese for distribution and direct assistance to those affected by
the hurricane. Parish Building Repair Envelopes will be retained by HNJ.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the many parishes and parishioners in this Diocese impacted by the tre-
mendous rain and flooding from the Hurricane. Thank you for your generosity and compassion.

National Migration Week 2021: September 20-26
WORLD DAY OF MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES (WDMR): SEPTEMBER 26
The primary theme for this year’s WDMR is “Towards an ever wider ‘WE’”. In his letter announcing this theme,
Pope Francis emphasizes that “this focus calls on us to ensure that ‘after all this, we will think no longer in terms
of ‘them’ and ‘those,’ but only ‘us’’ (Fratelli tutti, no. 35). And this universal us must become a reality first of all
within the Church which is called to cultivate communion in diversity.”
2021 National Migration Week Prayer
Loving Father,
We thank you for the gift of children
And for the joy and love that they bring into our lives.
Protect with your fatherly care all children who face hardship.
In particular, we pray for unaccompanied migrant children who are alone,
For migrant children separated f rom parents who have been placed in detention,
For those who have lost loved ones due to violence,
And for those who are trapped in situations of exploitation.
Open all of our hearts to immigrant and refugee children in need.
Show us how we can protect and comfort them.
Give us the wisdom to know how we can help.
Give us courage to defend them against those who would harm them.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God forever and ever. Amen https://justiceforimmigrants.org
