Marian Helper • Winter 2024-25 • Marian.org 9 POLISH DAY The annual Polish Day on Sept. 21 drew a large and festive crowd, which gathered for Mass (celebrated by the Most Rev. Andrzej Zglejszewski, Auxiliary Bishop of Rockville Centre, New York), and Stations of the Cross (below). PARISH MISSION NIGHT “We will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15)” was the theme of a Parish Mission Night held on Oct. 1. Moderated by Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers (second from left), the featured speakers from Australia were (from left) Dr. Robert Haddad (who spoke on “The Eucharist: The Glory Presence of the New Israel”), Charbel Raish (“How Islam Led Me Back to Christ”), and Kevin Bailey (“From Success to Significance”). MERCY FOR SOULS CONFERENCE Father Dan Cambra, MIC, was the keynote speaker at the 14th annual Mercy for Souls Conference, held on Sept. 7. The theme was, “Mary, the Immaculate Conception, and the Holy Souls in Purgatory.” “Any time we cooperate with God’s grace in our lives, the good that we do is still a mere shadow of the goodness of God,” Fr. Dan said. “The mercy that we show to another person is but a mere shadow of the mercy of God for us. When you and I were baptized, we were baptized into the life, death, and Resurrection of Christ. We were made partakers in the mystical life of Christ.”
