exceeded our goal. PLEASE, the Appeal needs all of us to play a role in order for it to be successful.
Please be as generous as possible. Thank you.

A Very Personal Invitation! - Sunday, June 10th after the 12 Noon Mass
I would like to extend a very personal invitation to all our parishioners to my Book Launching on
June 10th after the 12 Noon Mass to take place at the OAC. The title of my humble book is
“A Filipino Priest’s New York Diaries” that tells a story of my own life as a priest from the
Philippines doing pastoral work in parishes in New York and New Jersey and savoring the
various pastoral and physical landscapes of New York – spanning twenty something years.
The book was published by the Publishing House of the University of Santo Tomas in Manila,
where I finished Theology and Philosophy. - Father Erno Diaz
