THE TRINITARIAN FATHERS FROM OUR LADY OF MT.CARMEL-ST.BENEDICTA CHURCH ON STATEN ISLAND, WILL BE LEAVING AT THE END OF JANUARY 2005. WE WILL BE LEFT WITHOUT ANY RELIGIOUS LEADERS FOR OUR CHURCH. MANY OF THE 400 FAMILIES IN THIS CHURCH WERE BAPTIZED, RECEIVED HOLY COMMUNION AND CONFIRMATION, GOT MARRIED AND RAISED FAMILIES IN THIS CHURCH. MANY, STILL ALIVE AND ATTENDING THE CHURCH ARE MEMBERS FOR OVER 70 YEARS.
THEY HAVE LITERALLY BUILT THE CHURCH WITH ALL THEIR HARD WORK AND SACRIFICIAL MONETARY AND WORK DONATIONS TO KEEP THE CHURCH IN GOOD ORDER. THEY HAVE SACRIFICED TO BUILD THE SCHOOL AND RAISED THEIR CHILDREN IN THAT SCHOOL. THEY HAVE ALWAYS PARTICIPATED IN HELPING OTHER CHURCHES THROUGH DONATIONS TO THEIR CHURCH AND TO THE CARDINALS APPEAL.
WE NOW FACE THE PROBABILITY OF SEEING ALL OF OUR SACRIFICES BEING BROUGHT TO A SUDDEN CLOSUSE OF THE CHURCH IF WE ARE NOT SUPPLIED WITH PRIESTS TO CONTINUE THE WORK THAT HAS BROUGHT OUR CHURCH TO THIS POINT.
WE IMPLORE YOU, EDWARD CARDINAL EGAN, TO PROVIDE OUR CHURCH WITH THE PASTORAL CARE THAT IS NEEDED TO CONTINUE OUR RELIGIOUS SERIVCES AT OUR LADY OF MT.CARMEL-ST.BENEDICATAS CHURCH, WEST BRIGHTON, STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK.
DO NOT CLOSE THIS CHURCH.
