If you are interested in teaching classes or simply being an aid in the classroom, please email Mr. Frank Marchese at [email protected].
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) Is a process where you can experience the Catholic faith community. It is an opportunity for questions to be answered and for learning about the teachings
and traditions of the Catholic Church. Are you:
• A person who has not been baptized and would like to learn more about the Catholic faith, and become a Catholic?
• A Baptized Christian of another denomination who would like to learn about and join the Catholic tradition?
• A baptized Roman Catholic who has not received Eucharist or confirmation and would like to become a full patriciate in the life of the Church?
The Christian initiation process offers an environment of support and guidance as you discover God is working in your life. Through RCIA, the Our Lady of Pity- St. Anthony of Padua community can help you fulfill this journey, If you think the RCIA program is for you, and you would like registration information, please email [email protected]. RCIA Meets on Thursdays 7:30 pm in the parish center
Bible Study
James is one of the most practical books of the Bible. Its teachings speak loudly to those who feel torn between the competing demands of this world and their faith.
This study offers “Pearls for wise living” by applying the wisdom of James to our current day. For anyone who
has struggled to live a truly Christian life, James offers a wealth of practical solutions for handling and even
sanctifying everyday circumstances. OUR LADY OF PITY/ST. ANTHONY PARISH will begin
an eleven-week Bible study James: Pearls for Wise Living on MARCH 2, 2019 at 7PM. Participants will
meet every Monday to view an engaging video presentation followed by a time of discussion and
fellowship. For more information or to register, contact Vincent Violetta, (917) 836-5920, email:
[email protected], or contact Joanne Callari at [(718) 494-0308, or [email protected]

SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
“If you choose you can keep the commandments, they will save you, if you trust in God, you too shall
live. He has set before you fire and water to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand. Before
man are life and death, good and evil, whichever he chooses shall be given him.”
How blessed we are with freedom of choice. On a daily basis we make countless choices, some of little
importance, others of great significance. Many times, we give little thought to what we decide and
choose. At other times we debate, struggle and finally make our choice.
As we reflect on the word of God today, may we wholeheartedly make the right choices. To help us keep
the commandments, whether the short form of love of God and our neighbor, of the ten given to Moses
on the tablets of stone, try seeing them as directives for sound living, not prohibitions but positive. The
commandments we choose are based upon a single word – RESPECT. I respect God and my neighbor. I
respect His name and His day. I respect authority, life, my sexuality and that of others, I respect the
truth, property and in my thoughts, I respect other people and what is theirs.
We have been given these aides for our Christian living, not obstacles we need to hurdle. This might be
the true meaning of pro-choice, for it helps us to be pro-life, our lives in the Lord.
Gospel: Matthew 5: 17-34
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells the people he has come to fulfill the law. He speaks strongly against
murder and anger, against adultery and lust, and against false oaths and lies. He warns the people that unless
their virtue exceeds that of the Pharisees, they “will not enter the kingdom of God.”
