Our Parish Mission Statement The Parish of St. John Bosco is a multi-cultural, multi-lingual Catholic Faith community that proclaims Jesus Christ. In the spirit of St. John Bosco, we do this by being a Home that welcomes all especially the young and the poor; a School that prepares for life through religious, educational and social services; a Parish that evangelizes through Word & Sacrament, Worship and Faith Formation; a Playground where lasting friendship and relationships are formed and developed through recreational and social opportunities

From the Desk of Fr. Pat Who is Saint John Bosco? John Bosco was born on August 16, 1815 in the small Hamlet belonging to Castelnuovo d’Asti, in Piedmont, popularly called “I Becchi”. His father’s death when he was only 2 1/2 helped him empathize with the sorrow of so many orphans for whom he would become a loving father. In his mother Margaret he found an example of a deep Christian, which made a deep impression on his soul. When he was nine years old, he had a dream that was prophetic. He seemed to be in the middle of a crowd of children at play, some of whom were using God’s name in vain and fighting. Young John threw himself at them, hitting and kicking them to stop the blaspheming, but a man appeared before him who said : “Not that way, John—you must win over these friends of yours with kindness and love… I shall give you a Teacher under whose guidance you will be able to become wise, and without whom all wisdom becomes nonsense”. That person was Jesus and the Teacher, the Virgin Mary, under whose guidance he placed his whole life and whom he honored with the title Mary, Help of Christians. This led John to learn to be an acrobat, a magician, a singer and a juggler so as to be able to attract the neighboring children and adults to his gatherings at which the recitation of the rosary and the explanation of Sunday’s homily and the Commandments were his way to help keep them far from sin. Wishing to become a priest and to dedicate himself entirely to the salvation of young people, he would work by day and spend the nights at his books. Finally at the age of twenty, he was able to enter the Seminary in Chieri and be ordained a priest in Turin in 1841, at the age of twenty-six. There he established his work among orphaned or abandoned boys and young adults who were looking for work and were exposed to many dangers to both body and soul. Don Bosco started to gather them together on Sundays, sometimes in a Church, out on a grassy meadow, or in a town square, letting them play and then instructing them in the Catechism. After five years of enormous difficulties he managed to establish and open his first Oratory in the outlying suburb of Valdocco. There the boys found food and a place to sleep. They would study or learn a trade, but above all they learned to love the Lord. To do this, he created the Preventive System of education which employs Reason, Religion, and Loving Kindness in all dealings with the young, thus gaining him their hearts. He enkindled in his boys three devotions: to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, to Mary Help of Christians, and to the Pope. Saint Dominic Savio is a shining example of one who lived these to an eminent degree. To ensure continuity of his mission among the young, he founded the Salesians (SDB), the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (Salesian Sisters– FMA) and the Associates of the Salesian Cooperators (ASC). He has left his legacy to these, his sons and daughters, with his mottos: Da mihi animas, cetera tolle (Give me souls and take away the rest) and Make yourself loved and not feared. To spread devotion to Mary Help of Christians and to provide a source of prayerful support for his sons’ and daughters’ mission among the young, he also founded the Association of the Devotees of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA) He died on January 31, 1888, in his simple room at Valdocco, at the age of 72. On Easter Sunday, April 1, 1934, Pope Pius XI proclaimed him a Saint! He is our patron and we ask him today to help us continue his mission in Port Chester/Rye Brook! God bless you

Desde el Escritorio de P. Pat Quien es San Juan Bosco? Juan Bosco nació en 16 de agosto de 1815 en una pequeña aldea perteneciente a Castelnuovo d'Asti, en Piamonte, popularmente llamado "I Becchi". La muerte de su padre cuando solo tenía dos años y medio lo ayudó a empatizar con el dolor de tantos huérfanos por los que se convertiría en un padre amoroso. En su madre, Margarita, encontró un ejemplo de un cristiano profundo, que causó una profunda impresión en su alma. Cuando tenía nueve años, tuvo un sueño que fue profético. Parecía estar en medio de una multitud de niños jugando, algunos de los cuales usaban el nombre de Dios en vano y peleaban. El joven Juan se abalanzó sobre ellos, los golpeó y los pateó para que detuvieran la blasfemia, pero un hombre se presentó ante él y le dijo: "No de esa manera, Juan, debes conquistar a estos amigos tuyos con bondad y amor ... Te daré un Profesor quien bajo su guía podrás ser sabio, y sin ella toda sabiduría se vuelve absurda ". Esa persona era Jesús y el Maestro, la Virgen María, bajo cuya guía colocó toda su vida y a quien honró con el título de María, Auxiliadora de los cristianos. Esto llevó a John a aprender a ser un acróbata, un mago, un cantante y un malabarista para poder atraer a los niños y adultos a sus reuniones en las que la recitación del rosario y la explicación de la homilía del domingo y los Mandamientos eran su manera de ayudarlos a mantenerse lejos del pecado. Deseando ser sacerdote y dedicarse totalmente para la salvación de los jóvenes, el trabajaba de día y pasaba las noches en sus libros. Finalmente, a la edad de veinte años, pudo ingresar al Seminario en Chieri y ser ordenado sacerdote en Turín en 1841, a la edad de veintiséis años. Allí estableció su trabajo entre huérfanos o niños abandonados y jóvenes adultos que buscaban trabajo y estaban expuestos a muchos peligros para el cuerpo y el alma. Don Bosco comenzó a reunirlos los domingos, a veces en una iglesia, en una pradera cubierta de pasto, o en una plaza del pueblo, dejándolos jugar y luego instruyéndolos en el Catecismo. Después de cinco años de enormes dificultades logró establecer y abrir su primer oratorio en el periférico suburbio de Valdocco. Allí los niños encontraron comida y un lugar donde dormir. Estudiarían o aprenderían un oficio, pero sobre todo, aprendieron a amar al Señor. Para hacer esto, creó el Sistema Preventivo de educación que emplea la Razón, la Religión y la Bondad Amorosa en todos los tratos con los jóvenes, ganándose así sus corazones. Él encendió en sus muchachos tres devociones: a Jesús en el Santísimo Sacramento, a María Auxiliadora, y al Papa. Santo Domingo Savio es un brillante ejemplo de alguien que vivió estos en un grado eminente. Para asegurar la continuidad de su misión entre los jóvenes, fundó los Salesianos (SDB), las Hijas de María Auxiliadora (Salesianas Sisters - FMA) y los Asociados de los Cooperadores Salesianos (ASC). Él ha dejado su legado a estos, sus hijos e hijas, con sus lemas: Da mihi animas, cetera tolle (Dame almas y quita el resto) y hazte amado y no temido. Para difundir la devoción a María Auxiliadora y proporcionar una fuente de apoyo orante para la misión de sus hijos e hijas entre los jóvenes, también fundó la Asociación de los devotos de María Auxiliadora (ADMA). Murió el 31 de enero de 1888, en su habitación en Valdocco, a la edad de 72 años. ¡El domingo de Pascua, 1 de abril de 1934, el Papa Pío XI lo proclamó Santo! Él es nuestro patrón y le pedimos hoy que nos ayude a continuar su misión en Port Chester / Rye Brook! Dios te bendiga

Informacje od proboszcza

Quem foi São João Bosco? Ele nasceu no dia 15 de agosto de 1815, em Castelnuovo, Piemonte, conhecido como “Becchi” . Ele perdeu o pai aos 2 anos de idade. Margarida, sua mãe, passou para ele uma profunda fé cristã. Aos nove anos ele teve um sonho profético. Ele estava no meio de muitas crianças brincando e elas blasfemavam e brigavam. Ele as enfrentou com chutes e pontapés para acalma-las. Um personagem apareceu e disse, não é com pancadas mas com bondade e que você vai dominá-las e ganhar a amizade delas. Eu darei a você a mestra para guiar seus paços. Torna-te humilde, forte e robusto. Aquele personagem era Jesus e a mestra, Nossa Senhora, a quem ele confiou toda a sua obra, e a tratava como Auxiliadora dos cristãos. Dom Bosco aprendeu um pouco de tudo, acrobacia, mágica, música e brincadeiras para atrair as crianças e adultos para a recita do Rosário e para a explicação da homilia do domingo. Para se tornar padre e se dedicar inteiramente aos jovens ele entrou para o seminário em Chieri e foi ordenado padre em Turim, 1841, aos 26 anos de idade. Então ele começou o trabalho de educação dos jovens mais abandonados em vista de formar bons cristãos e honestos cidadãos. Ele começou a reunir os jovens aos domingos, às vezes na igreja, nos campos e nas praças, para jogar a aprender o catecismo. Após 5 anos de muitas dificuldades ele estabeleceu o oratório em Valdocco. Lá os jovens encontravam comida e um lugar para dormir. Ele oferecia escola e profissão, e sobretudo o amor a Deus. Para isso, ele inventou o sistema preventivo de educação baseado na razão, religião e bondade. Ele inculcava nos jovens 3 devoções: a Jesus no Santíssimo Sacramento, a Maria e ao Papa. São Domingos Sávio e o perfeito exemplo da santidade Salesiana. Para atender as meninas ele fundou com Madre Mazzarello as Filhas de Maria Auxiliadora, e os os Cooperadores salesianos. O seu lema era: “dai-me a alma e ficai com o resto”. Ele fundou ainda a ADMA, associação de Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora. Dom Bosco morreu no dia 31de janeiro de 1888, aos 72 anos de idade. O papa Pio XI o canonizou na Páscoa de 1934, primeiro de abriu. Ele e o nosso padroeiro e confiamos a proteção dele a nossa missão aqui em Port Chester e Rye Brook. Que Deus te abençoe!

Ojciec Don Bosco urodził się 16sierpnia 1815 roku w małym miasteczku Hamlet w prowincji Piedmont. Jego ojciec zmarł , gdy Don Bosco miał 2 i pół roku. To wpłynęło na jego osobowość i spowodowało , ze w młodzieńczym wieku zaczął opiekować się sierotami. W osobie swojej matki Małgorzaty znalazł głęboka wiarę katolicka , która wywarła ogromne wrażenie na jego duszy. Kiedy miał 9 lat otrzymał proroczy sen.Śniło mu się , ze był w środku grupy bawiących się dzieci. Dzieci biły się wzajemnie i nadużywały imienia Boga w złym znaczeniu. Młody Bosco zaczął sam bić i kopać ich aby przestali grzeszyć. Wówczas ukazał mu się mężczyzna, który rzekł : nie w ten sposób ,jeśli chcesz aby cię posłuchały , musisz uczynić to ze zrozumieniem, miłością i dobrocią . Dam ci nauczyciela , który nauczy cię madrosci i rozwagi. Tym nauczycielem był Jezus oraz Matka Boska , której powierzył całe swoje życie. To spowodowało ,ze Don Bosco stał się cyrkowcem , magikiem, zonglerem i śpiewakiem . Swymi występami przyciągał do siebie dzieci i dorosłych . Była to okazja aby wspólnie odmówić różaniec oraz posłuchać wyjaśnień dotyczących niedzielnego kazania oraz 10 przykazań. Jego życzeniem było, aby zostać księdzem i oddać się kompletnie na usługi dla młodych ludzi. W ciagu dnia pracował , a wieczorem dużo czytał. Wreszcie w wieku 20 lat wstąpił do seminarium duchownego i został wyświęcony na księdza w Turynie w roku 1841 mając 26 lat. Zajmował się sierotami , dziećmi porzuconymi oraz młodzieżą znajdująca się w złych miejscach. Zaczął ich wszystkich gromadzić w niedziele. Czasami w kościele , czasami na trawie na łące oraz na rynku. Pozwalał im się bawić jednocześnie ucząc ich katechizmu. Po 5 latach trudności i zmagań udało mu się otworzyć schronisko dla biednych , porzuconych dzieci. Zapewniło im to jedzenie i miejsce do spania. Uczyli się tam zawodu i miłości do Boga. Dobroduszność i wyrozumiałość pozwoliła Don Bosco zjednać sobie serca tej biednej młodzieży. Starał się zakorzenić w sercach chłopców miłość do Jezusa , uwielbienie Matki Boskiej Wspomożenia Wiernych. John Don Bosco zmarł 31 stycznia 1888 roku. Przeżył 72 lata. W Wielkanoc 1 kwietnia 1934 roku Papież Pius XI ogłosił go świętym.Ponieważ jest on naszym patronem prosimy go dziś o pomoc w kontynuowaniu jego misji w Port Chester i Rye Brook. Z bożym błogosławieństwem .

TO OUR CHILDREN In today’s Gospel, Jesus is teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. Did you know that Jesus had the authority to teach God’s word and perform miracles! Jesus taught his listeners how to live as children of God and all about the Kingdom of God. When we receive Jesus in the Eucharist (Holy Communion), we remind ourselves that He is always with us, still teaching us! So, open your hearts to receive Jesus in the Eucharist and to see how he is still teaching us how to “Live Like Jesus”! And lastly, remember to share what you have learned through your actions and your words. God Bless You! Questions of the Week: Parents: What can you tell others about Jesus with the most assurance? Children: What is the most important thing you would like others to know about Jesus? ______________________________________________ A NUESTROS HIJOS En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús enseña en la sinagoga de Capernaum. ¡Sabías que Jesús tenía la autoridad de enseñar la Palabra de Dios y realizar milagros! Jesús les enseñó a sus oyentes cómo vivir como hijos de Dios y todo acerca del Reino de Dios. Cuando recibimos a Jesús en la Eucaristía (Sagrada Comunión), nos recordamos que Él siempre está con nosotros, ¡todavía nos está enseñando! ¡Entonces, abre tus corazones para recibir a Jesús en la Eucaristía y para ver cómo todavía nos está enseñando a "vivir como Jesús"! Y, por último, recuerde compartir lo que ha aprendido a través de sus acciones y sus palabras. ¡Dios te bendiga! Preguntas de la semana: Padres: ¿Qué puedes decirle a otros acerca de Jesús con la mayor seguridad? Niños: ¿Qué es lo más importante que le gustaría que los demás supieran acerca de Jesús?

What other People have to say about Don Bosco

”What a charming personality! In the Church there are, we might say, some who made a procession of sanctity. I mean to say, if we give credence to their biographers, from the very first they had had a Calendar of saints as a goal. Don Bosco had no time for this, and we can readily believe that if he bcame a saint it was no his fault. It was enought to look him in the face. Even at his pictures one never tires of looking at him. He seems so understanding. One knows immediatly that with him one can act with complete confidence: that everything will be all right. There was no need to force oneself to confess with countenance such as he had. It became a veritable necessity. Looking at him one felt immediatly the need to tell him everything, to confide in him, to profit by this precious moment in which one was again a boy and to ask him whether this blessed communion linking man to man is really Chirst living among us. yes, my son; yes, my dear boy; beginning to be a man; look at this face, look at its goodness and charm. It is the face of a man who could not hel being a saint. And he didi it for you! Then it will not be hard for you to believe in the Love of Christ!” -Paul Claudel----- --------------------------- ------------------------------------ ---‘’These are up-to-date medals and they bear like the likeness of a great soldier: St. John Bosco, whom all the world will continue to call simply: Don Bosco. He was a great subject, an exemplary soldier of Christ, a most honored guard, a most faithul soldier for the Holy church and for what the Heart of the Redeemer and the Heart of the Church hold dear: youth– tomorrow’s future, and for whom he worked so much and in such a special manner. Don Bosco was not only a model of virtue, of perfection, and of priestly ministry, but he was also the soldier and the invincible and indefatigable worker for evry undertaking directed to the good” -Pope Pius XI-
