Dear Parishioners:
3
In response to the article printed in the Daily News on June 7, 2016, Bishop DiMarzio has
issued the attached letter which he asks parishes in your area to publish in the bulletins.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The New York Daily News has published an article
in today's paper claiming that I attempted to bribe an
elected official several years ago in order to advance
the political agenda of the Catholic Church.
I want you to know that this very serious accusation
against me is patently false.
This is the latest and perhaps most offensive in a
series of irresponsible and inaccurate reports
published by the Daily News.
Assembly Member Marge Markey told the Daily
News that in a meeting in 2010 I offered her $5,000
to drop her push to reform New York State's statute
of limitations for crimes of sexual abuse against
minors. The meeting Ms. Markey is referring to
actually took place in 2007. It took place at our
former Chancery located at 75 Greene Avenue, not
Bishop Ford High School as was claimed. Present
in that meeting was myself, Assembly Member
Markey, Monsignor Kieran Harrington, Assembly
Member Joseph Lentol, Assembly Member Vito
Lopez, Richard Barnes who is executive director of
the NYS Catholic Conference, and Sister Ellen
Patricia Finn, OP, who at the time was the Victim's
Assistance Coordinator for the Diocese of
Brooklyn.
The meeting was arranged to discuss policy
implications of Ms. Markey's proposed
legislation. Immediately following this broader
meeting, I met separately with Assembly Member
Markey and Sister Ellen Patricia to discuss a matter
deeply personal to
Ms. Markey. In that
meeting I spoke of the counseling services and
support the Church offers to victims of abuse without
any conditions. There was absolutely no offer of
money nor a quid pro quo. While the Daily News
failed its ethical responsibility to contact Sister Finn
and to otherwise fact-check this story before printing
it, Sister Finn provided our diocesan lawyer with a
statement.
Sister Ellen Patricia is no longer employed by the
Diocese of Brooklyn, nor under the authority of the
Bishop. She is a dedicated
victim's advocate. She has no reason to support
my story other than a commitment to the
truth. Sister Ellen Patricia, the only other person
present in that meeting, remembers the
conversation from 9 years ago just as I do; there
was absolutely no offer of money made. Sister has
provided our diocesan attorney with a statement.
Her recollection supports my memory.
The Daily News chose to put one person’s
unsubstantiated accusation on its front page,
putting the sale of newspapers, and the political
agenda of its editors above journalistic integrity. In
doing so they have impugned my character and
slandered my name as Bishop of the Diocese of
Brooklyn.
I have written a letter to Ms. Markey demanding a
retraction of her false and defamatory charge of
bribery.
Ironically, by turning a conversation from 9 years
ago into front page "news" and reporting it with
blatant inaccuracy, the New York Daily News
serves to demonstrate why statutes of limitations
exist in our justice system. Memories fade,
witnesses die, and evidence gets lost.
As Bishop of the Diocese, I take these matters very
seriously. My concern is for the souls of those who
have suffered from abuse. Without any condition,
counseling and support services is offered. I would
never refuse to meet with anyone who comes
forward with an allegation of abuse, if they wish to
meet with me, along with the Victims Assistance
Coordinator.
Asking for your prayers for our Diocese and for me
during this challenging time, as I remember you in
mine, I am
Sincerely in Christ,
Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Ph.D., D.D.
Bishop of Brooklyn

FROM THE PASTOR
Holy Cross Church
FATHERS’ DAY
May the Lord grant his blessings of health and
happiness to our fathers who are living and the
joy and peace of his eternal Kingdom to our
fathers who have died.
FATHER’ S DAY
The Father’s Day novena of Masses begins on
Father’s Day, June 19th. A Mass will be offered
every day for nine days for all of our fathers living
and deceased whose names we will have received.
The cards for this purpose may be found on the
tables at the back of church. They include the gift
card as well as the listing of the intentions. There
are also simple memorial envelopes available. (If
your father is deceased, rather than use the gift
card kindly use the simple memorial listing
envelope.) The large and small listing envelopes
may be returned in the collection basket during
Mass or at the Rectory Office.
MARIAN PILGRIMAGE
TO WASHINGTON, D.C.
The Diocese has reserved Saturday,
October 29 for the 2016 Diocesan Pilgrimage
to the Basilica of the National Shrine of Immaculate
Conception in Washington DC.
This pilgrimage to the Marian Shrine
offers worshippers from our Diocese a wonderful
opportunity to gather in shared worship,
reconciliation and companionship with Bishop
DiMarzio and with parishioners from across the
Diocese within a day’s journey from our homes.
Cost per person: $52. For more information, please
call the Holy Cross Rectory: 718-894-1387.
Religious Education –Teachers
We are grateful for the work that our religion
teachers do every Saturday morning. They are
generous with their time and talents. We are in
need of teachers for next year. If you are
interested in volunteering your time as a
catechist, please call the rectory and leave your
name and telephone number for Mrs.
Neubauer.

BAPTISMAL CLASS
TUESDAY, July 5
7:30 PM English
8:00 PM Polish
Because of the Independence Day,
Baptismal instructions for this month
will take place
on Tuesday, July 5th.
We ask that all families and/or godparents who
need to attend Baptismal instructions, should call
the rectory to register that they will attend.
This will make it easier to prepare
enough chairs for everyone.
During the summer, we would encourage our
parish families to suggest to their children who
are on vacation that a very good thing to do
would be to stop by for morning Mass during
the week. It is very easy to be “bored” and not
bother with anything. Rather than be just a cure
for boredom, daily Mass could be the means of
changing our children’s lives for the better. This
is nothing new as far as we are concerned, but it
is an idea which is terribly and sorely neglected.
Likewise, parents might look at their children
and see if there might be a vocation to the
priesthood or the religious life in their hearts.
The quiet of summer is an excellent time to give
children some of the books we read as
youngsters to inspire them to live lives of simple
piety. The various lives of the saints we treasured
and books with a definite religious flavor should
be shared with them. If anyone wants some
suggestions on good books, we will gladly pass
them on.

OGŁOSZENIA PARAFIALNE
Dzień Ojca.
Niech Bóg obdarzy błogosławieństwem,
zdrowiem i radością naszych ojców żyjacych, a
zmarłym niech da wieczny pokój w Jego
Królestwie.
Nowenna w intencji Ojców
rozpoczyna się w Dzień Ojca 19 czerwca.
Odprawimy 9 mszy św. w intencji ojców żyjących
i zmarłych. Karty, na których możemy wpisać
imiona ojców znajdziemy przy wyjściu z kościoła.
Do wypisania imion zmarłego ojca używamy
mniejszej, prostszej karty. Zarówno duże, jak i
małe karty można złożyć na tacę lub przynieść do
kancelarii parafialnej.
MARYJNA PIELGRZYMKA
DO WASZYNGTONU
Zachęcamy wszystkich parafian do udziału
w jednodniowej, ogólno-krajowej maryjnej
pielgrzymce do Bazyliki Niepokalanego Poczęcia
Najświętszej Maryji Panny w Waszyngtonie.
Wyjazd: 29 października, 2016 o godz. 6:00 rano
Koszt: $ 52
Więcej informacji można uzyskać w Kancelarii
Parafialnej : 718-894-1387
ODPOWIEDNI UBIÓR
Upały prowokują nas do noszenia
bardzo skąpych strojów, które nie są
odpowiednie do kościoła. Pamiętajmy o
tym, gdy wybieramy się do kościoła na
Msze św. Koszulki na ramiączkach i
krótkie spodenki nie są odpowiednie do
powagi miejsca jakim jest kościół.
Poszukujemy Katechetów
Jesteśmy
wdzięczni
naszym
nauczycielom za wspaniałą pracę,
którą wykonują w każdą sobotę.
Potrzebujemy
nauczycieli na
przyszły rok szkolny. Jeśli ktoś
chciałby ochotniczo poświęcić swój czas jako
katecheta, proszę zadzwonić do kancelarii
parafialnej i zostawić swoje imię, nazwisko i
numer telefonu dla Pani Neubauer.
PRZYGOTOWANIE DO CHRZTU

WTOREK, 5 lipca
godz. 19:30 w jez. ang.
godz. 20:00 w jęz. pol.
W pierwszy poniedziałek lipca wypada “Dzień
Niepodległości” stąd też konferencja przed
chrztem została przeniesiona na wtorek, 5 lipca.
Godziny pozostają bez zmian.
W nawiązaniu do konferencji przed chrztem
prosimy rodzicόw oraz rodzicόw chrzestnych
zgłosić swój udział w konferencji na konkretny
dzień, abyśmy mogli lepiej przygotować miejsce
spotkania, dostosowując się do ilości uczestników.
W czasie wakacji zachęcamy dzieci
do uczestnictwa w codziennych Mszach
świętych. Z pewnością to uczestnictwo
zaowocuje dobrem w życiu naszych
dzieci. A może także stać się impulsem
do odkrycia powołania kapłańskiego czy
zakonnego. Czas wakacyjny jest także
odpowiednim okresem, aby podsunąć dzieciom dobrą
książkę o życiu świętych, czy innej tematyce, która
może zainspirować dzieci dobrem i szlachetnością. Jeśli
ktoś chciałby rady w sprawie doboru lektur, chętnie
służymy pomocą.
Dziękujemy za koperty z ofiarą
tygodniową złożoną przed
wyjazdem na długie wakacje.
Będzie to pomocne przy
zapłaceniu różnego rodzaju
rachunków. Niech Bóg
wynagrodzi Waszą
wspaniałomyślność.
