I'm a bit hesitant about harming parishes that had nothing to do with this outrage, but I can definitely support boycotting the Archdiocesan appeals and any other funding that goes to the Archbishop. In addition, I'd urge everyone to attend a June 9th meeting of the Midland Beach Civic Association to express their opposition to this sale. I'm assuming it will be at the Olympia Activity Center, 555 Greeley Ave, but I will post information as I get it.Staten Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700073698285791143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454270916316407484.post-14815742045831337522010-05-30T20:08:18.400-04:002010-05-30T20:08:18.400-04:00Attn all Catholics in Staten Island, the collectio...Attn all Catholics in Staten Island, the collection plate boycott is on. We started today at 2 of the Masses and are planning to be at the Church this coming Sunday for the 10 & 11 AM masses. <br /><br />EVERYONE NEEDS TO ATTEND, BRING SIGNS SHOWING YOUR OUTRAGE. <br /><br />The Muslim American Society is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and for that reason alone should not be able to buy Catholic property. <br /><br />Just as important though is the fact that the parishioners did not approve of this sale, they didn't even know the nun's residence was up for sale. Far better uses could be made for the property - such as a senior citizen residence - which would have brought the Church income as well as served the parishioners. <br /><br />SO SHOW YOUR ANGER AND DEMAND THE SALE BE STOPPED, YOU CAN GO TO THE CHURCH AND RECTORY AT ANY TIME AND LODGE YOUR PROTEST AND STAND WITH US THIS SUNDAY AND EVERY SUNDAY THEREAFTER UNTIL THE CHURCH GETS THE MESSAGE.<br /><br />GOD'S PEACE BE WITH YOU.<br /><br />Barbarabpaoluccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033900515700396807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454270916316407484.post-63117880236125196622010-05-29T10:24:46.127-04:002010-05-29T10:24:46.127-04:00I am calling for a collection plate boycott throug...I am calling for a collection plate boycott throughout all Staten Island Catholic Churches in protest of this sale and to prevent further sales of Church property/assets. I am asking everyone to attend Mass and turn your backs on the collection plate as it is passed before you. This is the only way the Church will sit up and take notice of what we want done with our Church and what we will no longer tolerate including the secrecy that accompanied this deal.<br /><br />This boycott should continue until the Church gets the message and stops the sale of the Nun's residence as well as any further sales of Church property. If the Church does not relent, we can extend the boycott to Brooklyn next and then to the rest of the boroughs in turn. <br /><br />The sale of St. Margaret Mary's property to the MAS is particularly offensive as it is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, THE original Muslim terrorist organization from which all others emerge. None the less, even if the sale were to Mickey Mouse, it would not be acceptable. Our Church has lost far too much of the property, including Churches, that our great grandparents, grandparents, parents and now our generation have sacrificed to build and maintain. Church property can not continue to be used as a means to balance the budget or raise cash.bpaoluccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033900515700396807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454270916316407484.post-30158349484971066412010-05-29T10:24:32.268-04:002010-05-29T10:24:32.268-04:00I am calling for a collection plate boycott throug...I am calling for a collection plate boycott throughout all Staten Island Catholic Churches in protest of this sale and to prevent further sales of Church property/assets.
