July 30th: Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

July 23rd: Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Hearing this Gospel, we can trust that God knows our love and good deeds, and that he will mercifully gather
us into his kingdom.
This week, please say a special prayer each day for the poor and forgotten in our parish.
July 16th: Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In today’s Gospel, we hear the story of the sower and we know that “some seed fell on rich soil, and produce fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirty fold.” This week by putting a gift in the St. Vincent de Paul Poor Box, know that together they will produce fruit a hundred fold.
July 9th: Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In the Gospel today we hear Jesus say: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul brings peace to those who are overwhelmed with life’s burdens.
*Checks made payable to Society of St. Vincent DePaul and dropped in the collection baskets will help us serve our neighbors in need throughout the Greenlawn area.
Pastoral Care – Hospital Treatment for the Spirit
For Fr. Francois Eale, there’s more to his work than just being at the parish, and that is a certified Chaplain at St. Catherine of Siena Hospital in Smithtown.

Our readings today help us understand what to do with suffering, how to redeem it for eternal glory.
