Pastor’s Letter September 3/4 Dear Parish Family, If you ask most Catholics what is the most difficult part of being a pastor, they will probably say "raising money." While this is not an easy task, I might describe it more as being reliably unpopular rather than difficult. A far more difficult task is the role of encouraging, inviting, and inspiring people to become involved in the work and ministries of the parish. As evidence, think of this: While a list of those who regularly support our parish financially numbers more than 550 families, there are less than 100 parishioners sharing their time and talent with the community. Why is this so? One fairly obvious reason is that giving financially takes less time. Being part of a parish ministry can take more time and effort. I would like to offer here the old proverb that “many hands make light work” to encourage you to see that even the most demanding tasks are easier when we all pitch in. Not only that, but in most ministries, those who participate always say they receive far more than they give. A second reason might begin “O Lord I am not worthy!” For some reason, many people seem to believe that only a few special souls can help with ministries like Eucharistic minister, lector, or ministers to the sick. While some ministries do require a bit of talent (like playing a musical instrument), most ministries just require a willing spirit. Ministries can be learned. Ministries enhance our God-given talents and develop us spiritually and personally. A third reason has to do with the feeling some have that we already have enough help. Hardly! We are always scrambling for enough catechists, singers, lectors, ministers, and servers. We are sometimes our own worst enemy here. Every community that uses volunteers has to deal with those who want to keep the ministry small and who fear that they may lose something if they welcome others. Short reminder: Jesus chose 12 and gave them the job of welcoming everyone else to be disciples. A community that does not grow in its number of ministers is stuck in a terrible rut. This week, as we celebrate our first ministry fair in many years, we mark a return to something that is absolutely central to the life of a church. We are not only called to welcome all but to serve them and to invite everyone to become involved in the ministry of the church. Were someone to ask: “So what is your role in your church?” I would hope you would be able to say more than: “I go there.” I hope that, in great or small ways, you would have some sense of participation in the life of the community. Take time this week and next to explore our ministry fair. A wonderful opportunity is waiting for you. Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Michael A. Vetrano Pastor

News from the Office of Social Ministry:
Jeannine Rose
Are you or someone you know thinking of
coming back to the Church?
If you or someone you know has been away from the
church, and is thinking about coming back, Parish
Center. For more information please call Jeannine Rose in the Social Ministry
Office at 283-0097, Ext. 317. It doesn’t matter where you have been, we are here to
welcome you home.
Catholic Daughters of America Ladies, 18 years of age or older, are invited to consider joining Catholic Daughters of the Americas. We hope to have enough interest to officially start a new court in this parish.
Catholic Daughters of the Americas is one of the largest women’s organizations in the world, and has been in existence since 1903.
Have you ever wondered how you can help the less fortunate in our community? Have you ever wondered how you can play an active role in our church parish, community, state, and nation? Have you ever wondered how you can help people or communities that have faced a tragedy? If you become a Catholic Daughter, you can help minister to these needs. Catholic Daughters reach out to others, lend helping hands, have a great time, gain new friends, offer help and understanding to all. That in itself is awesome! Please consider joining. Please contact Jeannine Rose in the Parish Social Ministry Office for more information.
The Legion of Mary
The purpose of the Legion of Mary is two-fold: The spiritual development of its members and advancing the reign of Christ through Our Lady. The Legion of Mary was founded in Dublin, Ireland in September of 1921. It is a lay catholic organization whose members are giving service to the Church on a voluntary basis in almost every country. The object of the Legion of Mary is the Glory of God through the holiness of its members developed by prayer and active co-operation in Mary’s and the Church’s work. We are interested in forming a praesidium in this parish. A praesidium is a unit of the Legion of Mary which holds a weekly meeting where prayer is intermingled with reports of their work and discussion. Please contact Jeannine Rose in the Parish Social Ministry Office for more information.

Enter the Holy Door of Mercy Sacred Hearts has been chosen as one of four churches in the Diocese
of Rockville Centre to have a Holy Door of Mercy through which
pilgrims may obtain the same blessings as if they were to visit the
jubilee door at St. Peter’s
Basilica in Rome.
One may walk through this door
at any time but during this Holy
Year of Mercy we will celebrate
Eucharistic Adoration on
Thursday from the conclusion of the noon mass until
Benediction at 4:00 PM. We will also have confessions
during this time and our Spanish community will pray the
Chaplet of Divine Mercy from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. We call
Parishioners who support this time of prayer our Anchors of
Mercy. If you are willing to join them please just come any
Thursday during those hours.
Faith and Justice
What does it take to be Jesus’s disciple? In Sunday’s
Gospel Jesus provides three answers: “Hate” your family and your own life. Carry your own cross.
Renounce all your possessions. How is it this man has any followers?! Do we simply ignore these
directives or water them down? Being a disciple is tough. It’s counter-cultural. But the first reading
points out that earthly life can be tough, too. It can be quite burdensome. What Jesus is actually
offering us is freedom from such weighty attachments, freedom like that of Onesimus when Paul
liberates him from slavery with the Good News of Jesus. Jesus’s response to the question of
discipleship is simply this: Set your priorities straight. God first, not people, not things. From that all
good things can flow.

La Enseñanza de la Iglesia sobre el Derecho al Trabajo y la Importancia de los Sindicatos - El trabajo es «el fundamento sobre el que se forma la vida familiar, la cual es un derecho natural y una vocación del hombre». El trabajo asegura los medios de subsistencia y garantiza el proceso educativo de los hijos. Es necesario para ello que las empresas, las organizaciones profesionales, los sindicatos y el Estado se hagan promotores de políticas laborales que no perjudiquen, sino favorezcan el núcleo familiar desde el punto de vista ocupacional. El Magisterio reconoce la función fundamental desarrollada por los sindicatos de trabajadores, cuya razón de ser consiste en el derecho de los trabajadores a formar asociaciones o uniones para defender los intereses vitales de los hombres empleados en las diversas profesiones. Los sindicatos son propiamente los promotores de la lucha por la justicia social, por los derechos de los hombres del trabajo, en sus profesiones específicas: «Esta “lucha” debe ser vista como una acción de defensa normal “en favor” del justo bien; [...] no es una lucha “contra” los demás». Compendio de la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia, del vaticano, 29 de junio de 2004.
Sacramentos para Adultos - Las clases para adultos que no han recibido los sacramentos de Confirmación o Comunión o aún no son Bautizados, son los jueves, a las 7 PM en la escuelita en East Hampton o los domingos, a las 10 de la mañana en el Apostolado Hispano en Southampton. Estas clases son para jóvenes y adultos de 18 o más años. La clase en East Hampton comienza el 8 de septiembre y en Southampton el domingo 25.
Cursillo Prematrimonial - A los interesados en contraer matrimonio por la iglesia católica, les estamos informando que el Cursillo Prematrimonial si iniciará el 2 de octubre. Las reuniones serán los domingos de las 9:00 AM hasta las 12 de mediodía en Southampton.
