LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Dios crea una compañera apropiada
para Adán: Eva. Ellos pasan a ser una sola carne (Génesis
2:18-24).
Salmo — Dichoso el que teme al Señor (Salmo 128 [127]).
Segunda lectura — Cristo, el que consagra, y aquéllos a
quienes consagra tienen un mismo origen. Por eso puede
llamarlos “hermanos” (Hebreos 2:9-11).
Evangelio — Lo que Dios ha unido, que ningún ser
humano lo separe. Dejen que los niños vengan a mí
(Marcos 10:2-16).
PRO-LIFE CORNER - Conception is the beginning of human life. From the time that an ovum is fertilized a
new life begins that is neither that of the father nor of the mother. It is rather the life of a new human being with
his/her own humanity. It could never become human if it were not human already. Pray and work to end abortion and euthanasia.
Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 4th, 2015
Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of
God belongs to such as these.
Dejen que los niños se acerquen a mi y no se lo impidan, porque el Reino
de Dios es de los que son como ellos.
— Mark 10:14

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Good News for Our Lady of Fatima,
This week Bishop DiMarzio announced that the new Pastor of Our Lady of Fatima would be
Fr. Darrell DaCosta. Fr. DaCosta was ordained in 1997 and has been a Parochial Vicar at Saviour’s
in Brooklyn and St. Theresa’s in Woodside. He comes to Our Lady of Fatima after being the Pastor
of St. Paul’s in Corona. Fr. DaCosta is young energetic and experienced. He also is fluent in Spanish.
Having been already welcomed by the wonderful people of Our Lady of Fatima as Temporary
Administrator I know that you will spread the welcome mat to your new Pastor.
We continue to pray for the full recovery of Msgr. Mahoney and look forward to his return as
Pastor Emeritus of our beautiful parish.
Msgr. Fernando Ferrarese,
Temporary Administrator
