On this Pentecost Sunday, I’m going to ask you two questions. Well, maybe three, but we’ll see how it goes. Number one, first question. What is the greatest lie that we have been told?

Homily – 7th Sunday of Easter
So, on this Mother’s Day for all of the mothers. But really, for all of the parents, since 2013, we have all heard one song over and over and over again. And children pretty much everywhere in the world have watched this movie over and over again.

National Eucharistic Pilgrimage Comes to Brooklyn
As part of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, American Catholics are journeying with Jesus along four routes that will meet at the National Eucharistic Congress in July 2024. Our parish will be a stop along the eastern Elizabeth Ann Seton route, which begins in Hartford, CT on May 17; travels along the Atlantic coast; through Baltimore, our nation’s oldest diocese; before crossing the Appalachian Mountains.
On Monday, May 27, Memorial Day, there will be a Mass at St. James Co-Cathedral at 7 AM (note changed location). Afterwards, National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will have a Eucharistic Procession that starts at 8:30 AM at St. James and processes by several churches in Brooklyn, including ours, before taking a boat from Bay Ridge to Liberty State Park.
If you would like to join in the Eucharistic Procession or any of the other events while the National Pilgrimage is in Brooklyn, you can register for free online.
