FROM THE DESK OF FR. BONA: (1) Saturday, November 1 we celebrate the great solemnity of All Saints. It is not a holy day of obligation this year because it falls on Saturday.
(2) On All Souls Day, it has become a custom to read the names and pray for those who have been buried from our church since the last year’s All Souls. If you would like to add some other names to the list to be read, please let me know by October 31.
(3) Save the date of November 23 for the celebration of the patronal feastday of St. Elizabeth. We will have Mass at 11:30am at the Shrine and followed by a sit-down meal. More information to follow.
OUR PATRONAL FEAST and THE 100th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CONSECRATION OF OUR PRESENT CHURCH BUILDING will be celebrated on November 9 and Cleveland’s Bp. Martin Amos, bishop emeritus of Davenport, IA, will be our main celebrant at 11AM Mass. We will begin with a Eucharistic Adoration after 9AM Mass in English. At 10:45AM we will have the Benediction, followed by the Solemn Mass at 11AM. After the Mass, we will hold the Centennial Banquet in our hall. The menu will be: Chicken/Hen Soup in Újházy Style, Smoked sausage stuffed pork loin, Hungarian style potatoes, Marinated cabbage-vegetable salad, Walnut torte. The cost of the banquet will be $35 and $15 for students (free for children of six years of age or under) and you can register by November 5 with Mária Zsula (216-676-5863) or Mária Mészáros (440-331-0391). Proceeds will benefit the maintenance and upkeep of our 100 year old church building.
NOTES ON OUR 100TH ANNIVERSARY: (1) As we are working on the anniversary booklet, we are double-checking the facts, names and the dates related to our history and the church building. This way, we have been able to find credible sources to fill in or correct several data points. There is one area we are struggling to find any info, though. We cannot find any record of the artist who painted the four paintings in the sanctuary (St. Stephen, St. Ladislaus, and the smaller paintings of Bl. Giselle and St. Gerard [Gellért]). If you know, or even better, if you have some document concerning the name of the artist, please let me know as soon as you are able so that we can include that information in the booklet.
(2) Perhaps, you have noticed that the cost of the banquet is $35. It is higher than what we are used to at our celebrations here (but still below the price one would see in the restaurants for a comparable meal). The rationale is that we would like to hold this event as a small fundraiser for our church building. In order to save up some money, we have deferred some maintenance in the last couple of years. Now we can no longer ignore these issues. The church is badly in need of tuck-pointing as we have several places where the water is coming through the walls and creating damage on the inside. There is a plan in motion to address the sealing around the stained-glass windows and correct some roof issues. Furthermore, masonry work is required in several places where the sandstones have to be reset (otherwise they may fall out) and the walls and some ventilation chimneys are crooked and need to be fixed. Plus, the need to paint the church in the near future (and the current issue with our boiler). There is a lot we need to do. The proceeds of the event are going to this cause and your donation is truly appreciated. We want our church building to last another 100 years. Thank you to all those who have already contributed by sponsoring the book or the event. May God bless you!
WEDDING BANNS II: James J. Klosz & Allison M. Hines
MAJOR MAINTENANCE ISSUE: Presently, I am waiting for the third offer on replacing the boiler (as required by the diocesan policies). Your help in offsetting the cost is greatly appreciated. Mark your donation with “new boiler.” Thank you very much!!!
TODAY’S SECOND COLLECTION: supports the work and witness of the Missions.
LAST WEEKEND’S COLLECTION: Sunday Collection: $1,003; Maintenance: $800; Boiler cost offset: $1,235. May God reward your generosity in supporting the church. Thank you for sending in your donations by mail or using our website https://stemeric.com/donations/.
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE SICK, especially for Bev Kimar, Teréz Kalász, Lajos Boday, Márta Takács, Kathy Szabó, Alex Szaday, Virginia Kachmar, Margaret Falk, Mária Hokky, Balázs Bedy, and Sylvia Öszényi.
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE DECEASED: Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen
