ST. ROCH



Prayer to Saint Roch
(The Patron Saint for the
Epidemic Diseases)

 O Blessed St Roch,
Patron of the sick, Have pity on those
Who lie upon a bed of suffering.
Your power was so great
When you were in this world,
That by the sign of the Cross,
Many were healed of their diseases.
Now that you are in heaven,
Your power is not less. Offer, then, to God
Our sighs and tears.
And obtain for us that health we seek
Through Christ Our Lord      Amen.

Novena Prayer for Protection



(click on the picture to read the prayer)

Adapted from the prayer of Pope Francis 11036A 3/20 The ancient fresco of Madonna del Soccorso (Our Lady of Help) in St. Peter’s Basilica was restored with the support of the Knights of Columbus to mark the Year of Faith (2012-2013). KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

O Mary, you always brighten our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain while remaining steadfast in faith. O loving Mother, you know what we need, and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee. Intercede for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable, and for those who have died. Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead us, through the Cross, to the glory of the Resurrection. Amen. Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God. In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.  Amen.

in sacramental Communion, or attend Mass. 
 

Spiritual Communion Prayer
 

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if you were already there
And unite myself wholly to you. 

Never permit me to be separated from you.    Amen.

ST. ADALBERT-ST. ROCH PARISH

The Church of St. Adalbert and the Church of St. Roch merged into one parish as of August 01, 2015 under the archdiocese’s pastoral-reorganizational plan known as “Making All Things New.”  Both the churches are used for the celebration of Masses and sacraments on a regular basis under one administration. The parish office is located at 602 Port Richmond Ave., Staten Island, NY. The parish offers religious education for all ages on Wednesdays at St. Adalbert School, 355 Morningstar Road, Staten Island, NY.

Lent

Three important spiritual duties of the Lent are prayer, fasting and almsgiving. It’s all about our Spiritual health. What I read some years ago helped me to have a meaningful and fruitful Lenten season. It may help you as well.

1. Fast from anger and hatred. Give your family an extra dose of love each day.
2. Fast from judging others. Before making any judgments, recall how Jesus overlooks our faults.
3. Fast from discouragement. Hold on to Jesus’ promise that he has a perfect plan for your life. (Jer. 29:11).
4. Fast from complaining. When you find yourself about to complain, close your eyes and recall some of the little moments of joy Jesus has given you.
5. Fast resentment or bitterness. Work on forgiving those who may have hurt you.
6. Fast from spending too much money. Try to reduce your spending by ten percent and give these savings to the poor.

         Pray       Fast       Give

We thank everyone for their cooperation in wearing face masks in our churches and rectory. We also thank you for sanitizing your hands before you receive the Eucharist. We truly appreciate your commitment to keeping everyone in our parish safe.

Please continue to:
- wear a mask at all times in church.

- adhere to our social distance seating.
(Leave the family seating for families.)

- refrain from shaking hands at the Sign of Peace;
instead wave to one another.

- use hand sanitizer prior to receiving the Eucharist

Once the church is 25% full our ushers will instruct you to go down to the Parish Hall where you may watch a live stream of the mass.

Those who are at a greater risk of COVID-19 (those older than 65 or who have underlying health conditions) are cautioned not to come to church for Mass. You may join us only when you feel safe and comfortable to do so.
 
His Eminence has granted dispensation from an obligation to attend Sunday Mass at this time.
 
As an alternative, Mass may we viewed on line or on TV, and the act of spiritual communion may be used instead of receiving the Eucharist. 

I would like to thank you for your uncondtioanl support for our parish and your incredible patience in this challenging time.

Tres importantes deberes espirituales de la Cuaresma son la oración, el ayuno y la limosna. Se trata de nuestra salud espiritual. Lo que leí hace algunos años me ayudó a tener una Cuaresma significativa y fructífera. También te puede ayudar.

A continuación se presentan algunas sugerencias que quizás desee considerar.

  1. Ayuna de la ira y el odio. Dale a tu familia una dosis
     extra de amor cada dia.
  2. Ayuna de juzgar a los demás. Antes de hacer cualquier
     juicio, recuerde cómo Jesús pasa por alto nuestras
     faltas.
  3. Ayuna del desánimo. Aférrate a la promesa de Jesús de 
     que tiene un plan perfecto para tu vida.(Jer. 29:11).
  4. Rápido de quejarse. Cuando esté a punto de quejarse, 
     cierre los ojos y recuerde algunos de los pequeños
     momentos de alegría que Jesús le ha dado.
  5. Rápido resentimiento o amargura. Esfuérzate por
     perdonar a quienes te hayan lastimado.
  6. Rápido por gastar demasiado dinero. Trate de reducir
     sus gastos en un diez por ciento y dé estos ahorros a
     los pobres.

Orar Ayunar Dar


¡Gracias! para celebrar de forma segura
Agradecemos a todos por su cooperación en el uso de máscaras faciales en nuestras iglesias y rectoría. También le agradecemos por desinfectar sus manos antes de recibir la Eucaristía. Realmente apreciamos su compromiso de mantener seguros a todos en nuestra parroquia. 

Continúe con: - Use una máscara en todo momento en la iglesia. - adhiérase a nuestros asientos sociales a distancia. (Deje los asientos familiares para las familias). - abstenerse de dar la mano al Signo de la Paz; en lugar de eso, saludan a los demás. - use desinfectante para manos antes de recibir la Eucaristía Una vez que la iglesia esté llena al 25%, nuestros ujieres le indicarán que baje al Salón Parroquial donde podrá ver una transmisión en vivo de la misa. 

Se advierte a las personas que corren un mayor riesgo de contraer COVID-19 (mayores de 65 años o que tienen problemas de salud subyacentes) que no asistan a la iglesia para la Misa. Puede unirse a nosotros solo cuando se sienta seguro y cómodo para hacerlo. Su Eminencia ha concedido dispensa de la obligación de asistir a la misa dominical en este momento. Como alternativa, podemos ver la Misa en línea o por televisión, y el acto de comunión espiritual se puede utilizar en lugar de recibir la Eucaristía. Me gustaría agradecerles por su apoyo incondicional a nuestra parroquia y su increíble paciencia en este tiempo desafiante.

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo Jesus:

En este momento tan dificil por el que estamos pasando, unamonos en oracion y cuidemonos mutuamente.  La Santa Misa se va a transmitir en vivo en Facebook.  Encuentranos Coro Luz de Amor.

Cordialmente,
Padre Diego
