Vision Statement

Incarnation Parish is a Roman Catholic community centered around the Lord Jesus, a living sign of hope to all that the Word made flesh dwells among us. His presence and love is encountered in all areas of our life together, especially in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in Sacred Scripture and in the Sacraments. We seek to make the Lord's presence and love known through service and edu-cation, through evangelization and through con-tinual conversion and renewal in Him. We entrust our life together and our sharing in the mission of Christ to the protection and intercession of Mary,

Mother of the Lord and our Mother.

Feast of Faith Series: This Is The Mass:

The Source and Summit of Who We

Are!~ We invite everyone who would like to ex-

plore our Catholic Faith more deeply to come and

reflect on Holy Mass throughout this coming year.

The next session — “Introductory Rites: As We Prepare

to Celebrate These Sacred Mysteries” takes place Tues-

day October 22 at 7:30PM. All are warmly welcomed to

explore the Feast of Faith. Save the dates for future ses-

sions on Jan 21, Feb 18 and May 12 - all Tues at 7:30.

Blood Drive—October 20—8:30AM-2PM. Our Autumn

Blood Drive will take place next Sun-

day, Oct 20. In addition to saving the

date please extend an invitation to those

who don’t attend Incarnation so they

can share and give the gift of life.

CHRISTMAS MARKET. Save the date and spread the

word as the Family Life Committee will be sponsoring a

Christmas Market on Sunday, December 15 from 9AM

until 4PM in Msgr. Griffin Hall. Look for more details and

vendor reservation at the end of the month.

BRING A FRIEND TO CHURCH!

FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN

Before I became the pastor of Incarnation and Director of the Diocesan Liturgy Office I used to have a lot more

free time. I would love to go to the city at least once or twice a week. Some times I’d meet people for lunch or dinner;

other times I would see a show or movie. Most often, though, I would spend time just walking along the Hudson River

Park or take a few laps around Central Park. I’ve always loved the city.

On occasion I would see them on the LIRR or the subway, I’ve seen them sitting on a park bench and even once

I saw one walking. Who did I see? I saw people praying the rosary. They weren’t “in your face” about it. They were

just praying on the way to work or sitting under a tree. But they were praying nonetheless. I can remember the

instances rather vividly because I was so inspired.

October is associated with Our Lady and her Rosary. Last week on October 7th, the Feast of Our Lady of the

Rosary, Incarnation Catholic Academy gathered in church to pray the rosary. Parishioners were present in the evening

to do the same. Yesterday crowds gathered in the parking lot to be united in the rosary as they prayed in diverse

languages. Not just in October but Monday through Saturday throughout the year the rosary is recited at 8:10AM in the

church.

When was the last time you prayed the rosary? Have you ever prayed it together as a family? The beauty of the

rosary is the simplicity of the prayer and its accessibility for all of us. It’s the perfect prayer that allows one to pray the

prayers as one moves along the rosary beads, but also to meditate on the various mysteries associated with our salvation.

If ever needed, the pamphlet rack in the church vestibule often has leaflets that can help understand better the

rosary. If the internet is your thing, I googled “how to pray the rosary?” And twelve reliable websites popped up.

It can be prayed quietly alone, in a group like at school or at a rosary rally, or at home with family or friends.

It’s one of the Church’s most precious and enduring devotions. And it’s literally at the tips of our fingers. Give it a try

this October. I guarantee it will be the best twenty or so minutes of your day.

And remember whenever you do pray it, you wont be alone. They are out there—more often than you might

think. Devoted Children of the Mother of God/

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary– Pray for us!

THE ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL: FAITH AN GOOD WORKS! Please join us in our support of the various ministries and outreaches of the diocese which cannot be undertaken alone here

at Incarnation. Use the form below and simply put it in an envelope marked “Catholic Appeal,” drop the gift in the collec-

your pledge directly to 310 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, NY 11215. Our Parish Goal is 500 pledges. Please be one of

them. Give a gift today. All monies collected over goal will stay here at the parish and will go to help pay off the school

roof project. Even a small or one tine gift is both needed and most appreciated.

ual and wonderful way to celebrate sentiments and

stands now hang in our church on either side of the newly

restored and expanded Saints’ Shrine. These unique and

inviting candles are made of real wax with electrified illu-

mination to insure your Living Light burns brightly

throughout the year. A plaque displaying the name of

your loved one, your intention, or your milestone will be

mounted before your Living Light Votive Candle. Plaques

will remain for the year you have secured your Living

Light and may be renewed or rededicated for additional 12

month periods. In addition to its rightful place before

your Living Light in the Saints’ Shrine, your Loved One,

Special Intention, or Milestone will also be included in the

The Shepherd Speaks

The Bible cannot be just the heritage of some,

much less a collection of books for the benefit of a

privileged few. It belongs above all to those called

to hear its message and to recognize themselves in

its words. At times, there can be a tendency to monopolize the

sacred text by restricting it to certain circles or to select groups.

It cannot be that way. The Bible is the book of the Lord’s peo-

ple, who, in listening to it, move from dispersion

and division towards unity. The word of God unites

believers and makes them one people.

-Apostolic Letter: Aperuit Illis
