On December 12th, clerics, our new Guadalupan Committee, parishioners, neighbors, and people from other towns and counties gathered in prayer, song, and then good food and good company to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of Mexico, the Empress of the Americas, and the patroness of the prolife movement in the United States.  For this project, which involved outreach and evangelization of local Hispanics as well as the greater community, as well as the devotion itself, Fr. Kenneth Riello, our pastor, relied on the coordination by Fr. Arthur Rojas, our main priest for Hispanic ministry, our new Guadalupan Committee (Isidro Santamaria, Chairman), the owners of Gaby’s restaurant at Ellenville, and generous parishioners of both Spanish and English speaking communities.  About 40 people braved the dark wintry cold to sing the “Mañanitas”, the traditional morning serenade of Our Lady, from 4:30 to 6 a.m., followed by a tasty breakfast at our parish hall.  At the evening Mass, a diverse crowd of almost 90 Spanish and English speakers attended and most followed to a delicious dinner at the hall.  

A further surprise ensued when on behalf of his parish, Presentation-Sacred Heart Parish (Port Ewen-Esopus, N.Y.), Fr. Rojas gave Fr. Riello a check of $2,113 towards the expenses of our Food Pantry.  The check represented an over 300% increase from the donation of last year from the collection of the Masses on Thanksgiving Day.  Finally, congratulations to Ms. Teresa Ramos as the winner of our raffle!  We urge our parishioners to build on the success and outreach that culminated last night!

Con alegría y reverencia, nuestra parroquia de Santa María y San Andrés tomó un paso muy importante de coordinar y celebrar las fiestas guadalupanas del 12 de diciembre.  Con el beneplácito del párroco, Padre Kenneth Riello, se realizó una coordinación entre Padre Arthur Rojas (el sacerdote principal de nuestro ministerio hispano), nuestro nuevo Comité Guadalupano (Isidro Santamaria, Presidente), los dueños del restaurante “Gaby’s” de Ellenville, varios feligreses y personas interesadas de la zona y otros lugares.  No obstante, el invierno frío y oscuro, 40 personas cantaron rezaron las Mañanitas desde las 4,30h hasta las 6h, seguido por un desayuno sabroso en el salón parroquial.  Más tarde a las 19,30h, se duplicó (y más) la concurrencia de la Misa Guadalupana, seguida por una cena alegre en el salón parroquial.

Se desató una sorpresa el Padre Rojas cuando le entregó al Padre Riello un cheque de $2,113 de su parroquia (Presentación-Sagrado Corazón de Port Ewen y Esopus, N.Y.) en pro de la Despensa Parroquial de nuestra parroquia.  La suma es más del triple del aporte del 2.021.  Además, felicidades a la Sra. Teresa Ramos por ganar la rifa. !Les exhortamos a nuestros feligreses de ampliar la evangelización de nuestra comunidad!  

Fr./P. Arthur Rojas

Our food pantry has been very busy and is in need of supplies.  Please leave packages at the Parish Hall entrance.  Thank you and may God bless.
