Message From The Pastor
This past week we celebrated the Solemnity of the Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. In Italy this is a very big Feast day. Many of the
girls in Italy are called “Assunta,” after this Feast day. I have a very big devotion to the
Blessed Virgin Mary. My last parish was Our Lady of Grace. In that parish I had a 8 foot
painting commissioned of the Assumption of our Lady into Heaven. Today August 22nd, we
typically celebrate the “Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary.” It was on this day almost
twenty years ago that I heard Jesus call me to the Priesthood. Our Blessed Mother has been
with me every step of the way. In this month of August where we celebrate these two beau-
tiful days dedicated to the mother of Jesus, let us always turn to her. Our Lady will never
let us down nor fail to help us in times of need.
In Christ,
Father Vincent Chirichella
Thank you…
I would like to thank everyone who made the Mass of Saint Rocco
such a special one for our parish, and the Society of Saint Rocco. It
was beautiful to have Bishop DiMarzio with us this year! I would
like to thank the society members, and most especially the Presi-
dent of the society Vincenzo Carpinelli. I would like to thank Jo-
seph, Pasquale, and Antonietta for the beautiful music. As we con-
tinue to walk together, as a parish family let us love one another.
In Christ,
Father Vincent

lion to provide programs and ministries throughout the Diocese
