LATEST UPDATE ON FR. RAPHAEL & Parish news
UPDATE ON FATHER RAPHAEL
Fr. Raphael sends his thoughts to everyone and asked Annette to tell you he is doing well and getting stronger each day. He asked for continued prayers. Fr. Raphael is enjoying the fellowship of 12 friars. St. Lawrence Friary is in a lovely setting with lawns and gardens, a vegetable garden tended by one of the Friars, and an outdoor patio so he can get outside in his wheelchair for the Autumn Equinox and Indian Summer. He is enjoying time with several of his long-time friends, and is able to join them for chapel and prayers.
Fr. Tom Wilhelm, our guest priest this past weekend, went home to Yonkers via the Friary on Sunday and brought bags of Raphael's warm = His new address will be:
Fr. Raphael Iannone
St. Lawrence Friary
180 Sargent Ave.
Beacon, NY
Please continue all the prayers - they are working!Prayer for Priests
By St. John Vianney (Feast Day – August 4)
God, please give to your Church today many more priests after your own heart.
May they be worthy representatives of Christ the Good Shepherd.
May they wholeheartedly devote themselves to prayer and penance;
be examples of humility and poverty; shining models of holiness;
tireless and powerful preachers of the Word of God;
zealous dispensers of your grace in the sacraments.
May their loving devotion to your Son Jesus in the Eucharist and to Mary his Mother
be the twin fountains of fruitfulness for their ministry. Amen.St. John Vianney, patron of priests, pray for us

A MESSAGE from FR. RAPHAEL
In this confusing time with the onset of the corona virus, we are certainly frightened and fearful of its' effects. It is a time when we must remember our elderly in our prayers. Because of their many medical complications they are at risk. It is a time we need to pray that biologists and research scientists will be successful in developing a vaccine and this crisis will pass.
We cannot forget that our God is watching over us and will continue to answer our prayers as we pray for a successful outcome.
Don't lose hope because God loves us!

A call to political responsibility
A Call to Political Responsibility from the Catholic Bishops of the United States:
“As Catholics, we bring the richness of our faith to the public square. We draw from both faith and reason as we seek to affirm the dignity of the human person and the common good of all. With renewed hope, we, the Catholic Bishops of the United States, are re-issuing Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, our teaching document on the political responsibility of Catholics, which provides guidance for all who seek to exercise their rights and duties as citizens.” To access the document, click here. Source: www.usccb.org.
“We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern.” - Pope Francis, 9/16/13
