Your ways, O LORD, make known to me;
teach me your paths,
guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my savior.
My dear friends,
October is Respect Life Month, a particular time of focused prayer and witness for the dignity due to all human life, particularly the vulnerable unborn girl or boy. IHM sponsors a wonderful annual Baby Shower drive this month! I also invite and challenge all of us this Sunday to join our Life Chain on Post Road in front of the church from 1-2pm (signs to be distributed in the parish's South parking lot) to peacefully and prayerfully witness to unborn life and mothers in crisis pregnancy, or to spend the hour in Eucharistic Adoration in our church for this intention (Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will be at 2:15pm for all).
Father Thumma's priest cousin from the Diocese of Austin (Texas) has just spent a couple of days visiting here at IHM and over the weekend a priest friend of mine from the Diocese of Winona-Rochester (Minnesota), Msgr. Thomas Cook, will be in town to celebrate his Salesian priest-uncle's Jubilees as a religious and a priest!
Thanks to Theresa and Jeffrey Nicholson, there will be Coffee and Donuts following the 9am Family Mass this Sunday (Children's Liturgy of the Word will be held this week during Mass in the lower church)!
I am looking forward to our IHM Development Committee 2nd Annual Golf Outing at Lake Isle on Monday! Thank you to Bobbi Roberts, Director of Fundraising, and her incredible team for organizing this amazing support for our parish school and a joyful community-builder for the entire IHM family!
Tuesday of this week I will join the annual Archdiocese of New York Pastors' Conference Week in New Jersey. Hopefully, unlike last year, I will stay Covid-free and see everybody next Saturday and Sunday!
Parishioners who would like to attend the Eucharistic Revival and Congress October 20-22nd in upstate New York, please register. Please let me know who will be attending and if the parish can assist with registration fees.
I hope that some of the men of our parish will treat themselves to a Men's Spirituality Conference at Iona University on Saturday, October 7th.
More information on both events is below.
Have you ever read or listened to the prophetic words from Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta back in 1994 in Washington DC at the National Prayer Breakfast? Taken as a whole in her half-hour talk, they are a comprehensive, explosive, simple, powerful, touching and profound proclamation of love - the whole of the Good News of Jesus Christ to all of us in America! Be forewarned, though, as she speaks words we need to hear in the United States and Mother Teresa does not shy away from getting concrete in how she sees our nation falling short of God's love and His loving plan.
Here are some excerpts, but I encourage everyone to take in the whole talk as it is incredibly rich and covers many topics:
"I will tell you something beautiful. We are fighting abortion by adoption — by care of the mother and adoption for her baby.
But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even His life to love us. So, the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love, that is, to give until it hurts her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is, must also give until it hurts.
If we remember that God loves us, and that we can love others as He loves us, then America can become a sign of peace for the world. From here, a sign of care for the weakest of the weak — the unborn child — must go out to the world. If you become a burning light of justice and peace in the world, then really you will be true to what the founders of this country stood for. "
A blessed Sunday to you!

Respect Life Sunday, on October 1st, kicks off Respect Life Month, a time to pray for the protection of all human life. You can join one of the Life Chains, a peaceful and prayerful public witness for an end to abortion that offers a message of mercy and healing for those suffering as a result of abortion. Or you can participate in Rosary Coast to Coast, a movement to unite the nation in praying the Holy Rosary for healing of our country and a return to holiness. Information on Rosary Coast to Coast, www.rosarycoasttocoast.com.
Sunday, October 1st, 1:00PM-2:00PM (immediately following the 12:00PM Mass). We will gather in the South Parking Lot for standardized sign distribution, guidelines and then to take our places silently, prayerfully and by spreading out.
We will also offer Eucharistic Adoration in the Church at this same time (1:00-2:15PM) to pray for the fruitfulness of this witness. Let us all join in Benediction at 2:15pm in the church! Please tell your friends and family about this unique opportunity to be a part of IHM’s growing annual public Pro-Life proclamation.
Sunday, October 1st | Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time | Matthew 21:28-32
Friends, today’s Gospel is the parable of the two sons, a story about obedience to God. To live the good life is not finally a matter of autonomy but of obeying commandments.
The obedience that Jesus desires is a surrender to the one who wants what is best for the surrenderer. The entire to-be of the Son is a listening to the command of the Father, and the creature, consequently, is meant to be nothing but a listening to the command of the Son.
This is why Jesus says in the Gospel of John, “You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer. . . . I have called you friends.” What was lost in the Garden of Eden was friendship with God, symbolized by the easy fellowship enjoyed by Adam and Yahweh.
The whole of the biblical revelation—culminating in Jesus—could be construed as the story of God’s attempt to restore friendship with the human race. In the Last Supper discourse we hear the conditions for this restoration: coinherence with God, which is tantamount to an insertion into the coinherence that God is.
Bishop Robert Barron

Dear Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish,
THANK YOU! This is Lena, one of the Co-Chairs of The Cereal Effect at Ursuline! I just wanted to reach out with a formal thank-you from all of us for your amazing help with our cereal collection this year. We love creating new partnerships throughout our community, and it was a privilege to add IHM to our list! Olivia is an incredible leader, and we are so lucky to have her as part of our leadership team as well. Our final total was 2,886 boxes for HOPE Community Services, which will feed hundreds and hundreds of New Rochelle families through New Year's. We could never have done this without IHM, and are so grateful for your help and support! Thanks again! Have a blessed week!

Message from Cardinal Dolan:
New York Eucharistic Revival
Dear Friends in the Lord,
When you love someone, you want to be with them as much as possible. Our Lord loves us so much that He chooses to remain with us in the Holy Eucharist. Our nation is in the midst of a Eucharistic Revival, for the sole purpose of strengthening our faith in this gift of love – Jesus present Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
As part of this revival, the Church in the State of New York will gather on October 20 – 22 at Our Lady of the Martyrs Shrine, located in Auriesville, New York, for a Eucharistic Congress. I encourage all in the Archdiocese of New York to attend the Congress, especially on Saturday, October 21st, which will feature a special Mass at 11 a.m. celebrated by Bishop Terry LaValley, followed by a Eucharistic Procession in the afternoon. In addition, there will be engaging speakers, lively music, opportunities for confession and eucharistic adoration, time to socialize, food available (although feel free to bring your own picnic), and so much more!

With prayerful best wishes for a blessed autumn, I am,
Faithfully in Christ,
