BAKER’S BITS

1. Please make note of the Holy Week schedule as listed in the bulletin and E- Newsletter. In particular, we have added a Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord's Supper at 9:00 am for St. Fran- ces in Cabrini Chapel and Stations of the Cross with procession at 7:00pm in Cabrini Chapel on Good Friday. We look forward to celebrating the Triduum and the Resurrection with you both on Roosevelt Island and the East Side!

2. Last week I had a meeting with the Architect for our new space at 504 Main Street on Roosevelt Island. While there were issues with the demolition permit by the city, the one-week demolition is slated to be complete any day now. Following the demolition, it will take approximately 5-6 months for the conversion and construction of the new space. This multi-million dollar project is certainly complex, but it is finally moving forward. Please continue to pray for the process as we continue to grow on Roosevelt Island!

3. The Cardinal's Annual Appeal is continuing and appeal envelopes are available in the back of the church. It is very important that we participate in the cardinal’s Appeal and show our support of the Church. Give what- ever you can, it does not have to be a specific amount, just give something. Please make sure that you list your name and our parish on the envelope so that our parish will be appropriately credited with participation. If you have any questions, please call or e-mail me or our parish manager, Lisa Calabrese. Thank you for your support. Thank you to those who already gave their donation to this campaign.

1. Všimnite si program liturgických slávení Veľkého týždňa na prvej strane bulletinu a v E-Newsletter. Zvlášť vás chcem upozorniť, že v Cabrini kaplnke bude na Zelený štvrtok sv. omša na pamiatku Pánovej večere o 9:00 am a na Veľký piatok pobožnosť Krížovej cesty s procesiou o 7:00 pm. Tešíme sa, že naša farnosť bude spoločne sláviť Veľký týždeň a Veľkonočné trojdnie na Roosevelt Island a na East Side.

2. Minulý týždeň som mal stretnutie s architektom ohľadne nášho nového priestoru na Roosevelt Island (504 Main Street). Boli určité problémy s povolením od mesta na demolačné práce, ale táto jedno-týždenná práca by mala byť ukončená v najbližších dňoch. Konštrukcia nového priestoru by mala potom trvať 5-6 mesiacov. Tento multi-milión dolárový projekt je veľmi komplikovaný, ale konečne to napreduje k cieľu. Prosím vás o modlitby na úmysel tohto projektu a aby sme pokračovali v našom raste a rozvoji na Roosevelt Island.

3. Výročná Kardinálova zbierka pokračuje. Obálky na zbierku sú na stolíku pri vchode do kostola.
