Novices of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart
Our parish has a strong devotion to Mother Cabrini and to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Sr. Bernadette of the Cabrini Sisters, who many of us know, asked that the parish pray for the new Novices of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart (Cabrini Sisters). All of them have visited our parish a few times and wish for our prayers. Sr. Bernedette said “The parish prayer support means a lot to each of them and to all of us. We are on the journey together.”
They are:
Sr. Abaynesh Lukas Lako
Sr. Abebech Darcho Urcha
Sr. Etagegn Franso Wube
Sr. Evarlyne Ndunge Ndeti
Sr. Bezunesh Elias Tadiso
With our prayers from the parish, we also congratulate them as they continue on their journey to professing their vows as Missionary Sisters in the footsteps of Mother Cabrini.
Gracious God, in your loving kindness you sent your Son to be our shepherd and guide. Bless these new Novices of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart in their service of one another and to the world. Let your Spirit uphold them and direct their steps to you. May they show us how to walk, as Mother Cabrini did — in charity, peace, and joy everyday. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
United from across the East River,
Sr. Bernadette

I am the Church, You are the Church, We are the Church, Together! – Where are you in your faith journey?
Evangelization – the essential mission of the Church. As Jesus said at the end of the Gospel of Matthew: “Go and make disciples of all nations.” To evangelize means to bring the good news of the Gospel to all we encounter by teaching, being channels of the gift of grace, reconciling sinners with God, and perpetuating Christ’s sacrifice in the Mass. The fruit of evangelization is new disciples of Jesus.
Disciple – a person who accepts and assists in the spreading of the good news of Jesus Christ. Christian discipleship is the process by which disciples grow in the Lord Jesus Christ and are equipped by the Holy Spirit, who resides in our hearts, to overcome the pressures and trials of this present life and become more and more Christlike. This process requires believers to respond to the Holy Spirit’s prompting to examine their thoughts, words and actions and compare them with the Word of God and the Tradition of the Church as good stewards.
Steward – a person who accepts the responsibility that Christians have in maintaining and using wisely the gifts that God has bestowed. God wishes us to be his collaborators in the work of creation, redemption and sanctification. A good steward gives of their time, talent and treasure in order to be an collaborator in the work of evangelization.
