An Act ofSpiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

PARISH UPDATES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

Covid Protocol Update
07.26.21
Please continue to help keep our Church community safe and healthy by wearing a mask indoors as per CDC guidelines. Holy Name of Jesus and the Archdiocese of NY follow the CDC guidelines for masking indoors during the ongoing pandemic.
If you or your family, including children 2-12 are unvaccinated, PLEASE wear masks indoors in our Church. This will help reduce the spread of the Covid virus, especially the new Delta variant which is highly transmissible.
Just a few facts to consider…as of 7/22 per the Westchester
County dashboard; only 51.7% of Valhalla’s residents have been vaccinated, which means 48.3% have not and are still of risk to themselves and others. If you have been full vaccinated, feel free to wear your mask in church for additional protection.
Let’s continue to be vigilant in protecting one another. “Love thy neighbor as thy self”. -
Liturgical Ministers Needed
As we get back to in-church services, additional volunteers are needed to join the team of Liturgical Ministers.
Lectors, Ushers and Eucharistic Ministers are needed to assist in the sharing the Word at Mass, guide people in church and assist the priest to distribute the Eucharist at Mass. If you were thinking of ways you could get involved in our parish community, kindly consider being part of these ministries. Contact the parish office at 914.949.2323 or email at HNJValhallaNY@gmail.com to volunteer. -

July 25 - World Day of Grandparents and Elders
Did you know Pope Frances declared July 25 as the first World Day of Grandparents and Elders? He stated they are our history, our wisdom and life. We hold them close through our prayers. A tree not connected with its roots does not thrive, grow, blossom. Respecting, honoring and reaching out is the only way a society can thrive and remain faithful to the church.
World Day For Grandparents and Elderly
Pope Francis has established throughout the Church the celebration of the World Day for Grandparents and Elderly beginning in 2021 on the fourth Sunday of July, near the liturgical memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Jesus. The announcement of this celebration coincides with the celebration of the Year of Amoris Laetitia Family, which began on the Solemnity of Saint Joseph the husband of Mary, on March 19, 2021, and will conclude at the World Meeting of Families in Rome in June of 2022.
