Saint Brigid
Sacramental Life of our Parish
Baptism for children (under the age of 7) is celebrated in
English on the first three Sundays at 1 pm; in Spanish on
the last Sunday of the month at 1 pm; in Kreyol on the 3rd
Saturday at 1 pm. Parents attend a preparation session on
the first Monday of the month from 8 to 9:30 pm in the
church. Please call the Parish Center (334-0021) to make
arangements to speak to one of our priests or deacons
about your child’s upcoming baptism.
Celebration of Marriage
Please call the Parish Center (334-0021) at least six
months in advance to make arrangements for an interview
with one of our parish deacons or priests who will meet
with the engaged couple, set the time and date of the
wedding and make arrangements for our parish marriage
preparation program.
Rite of Christian Initiation
Adults who have never been baptized are prepared for the
reception of the sacraments of initiation (Baptism,
Eucharist and Confirmation) through the RCIA process.
Other adults may have already been baptized, but are
seeking to receive Eucharist and/or Confirmation. Those
interested in knowing more about the process of becoming
a full member of the Catholic Church are invited to call
Sister Ann Horn at 516-333-9434. Parents who have
school-aged children who have never been baptized are
also invited to speak to Sister Ann about their process of
preparation for these sacraments.
Sacraments of School Age Children
Our parish religious education program prepares children
for the celebration of the sacraments of Eucharist,
Reconciliation and Confirmaton. The norm is that children
receive a two-year preparation for Reconciliation and
Eucharist (normally celebrated in the second grade) and a
two-year preparation program for Confirmation (normally
celebrated in the eighth grade). Our religious education
program deepens the experience of faith and religious
formation in the years betweeen the celebrations of these
sacraments.
Parents who have children older than first grade and are
seeking to have them receive the sacraments of Eucharist
(First communion), Reconciliation or Confirmation are
asked to call the Religious Education office.
Communion to the Sick and Homebound
Anyone who is not able to attend Mass because of frailty,
chronic or temporary illness, or admission to hospice can
have Holy Communion brought to them at home on a
regular basis. Please call the parish office to make
arrangements for a lay minister to bring holy communion.
Care for those in need. . .

Breaking Open the Word
Reflecting on next Sunday’s Gospel before you come to Mass can bring
so much more meaning to your experience of liturgy. Here’s the gospel
for next Sunday. How does this Gospel touch your life?
September 6th - Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Mark 7:31-37
Again Jesus left the district of Tyre
and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee,
into the district of the Decapolis.
And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment
and begged him to lay his hand on him.
He took him off by himself away from the crowd.
He put his finger into the man's ears
and, spitting, touched his tongue;
then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him,
"Ephphatha!" —that is, "Be opened!"—
And immediately the man's ears were opened,
his speech impediment was removed,
and he spoke plainly.
He ordered them not to tell anyone.
But the more he ordered them not to,
the more they proclaimed it.
They were exceedingly astonished and they said,
"He has done all things well.
He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."
6
Today’s Gospel is a story about just one of the miracles Jesus performed. Jesus came to remove all the obstacles that prevent us
from being in communion with one another. Jesus came to save us,
to take away fear that would keep us from enjoying the fullness of
life. It is fear that can prevent us from hearing God’s word, just as
it did for the deaf man. We should pray for those who cannot hear
what God is saying to them. We too should pray that we hear God
through the things that are happening in our lives, and offer prayers
of thanksgiving and praise.
Gospel Reflection
Questions
• Think of a time when
fear prevented you from
hearing God speak to you.
• Think of someone you
know who needs the

Families & Children
• How did Jesus treat the
man who was deaf? How
do you treat others who
have disabilities?
• Think of other kinds of
deafness, not just physical.

Back to School
Even though it has been years
since I have had to “return to
school” in September, the first
time I see a
“Back-to-School-Sale” sign in a
store, I am thrown into
desolation! I never want the
summer to end!
But soon the summer will end
and our precious children will be
returning to school over the next
few weeks. At our 10:00am
Family Mass on Sunday,
September 13, we will have a
special blessing for all our
school-aged children, asking the
Lord to protect and bless them in
this new academic year. We ask
all our children to bring their
back-packs with them. We will
also be blessing the back-packs
and giving them a bag of
“spiritual goodies” to take with
them in their back-packs
throughout the year.
Travel the World without
Leaving Westbury!
While no one really wants to say
good-bye to summer, at least we
have our memories and our
stories as to where we have been!
It is great to savor the
experiences of travel and the
places and moments where God
has nurtured our soul. Father
Jason has come up with a
fantastic idea to gather us for a
sharing of pictures and stories of
the places we have been this
summer. The date of our “Trip
Around the World” will be
Wednesday, September 16th at
7:00pm in Saint Anthony’s Hall.
See Father Jason’s announcement
printed in this bulletin for more
details.
Don’t forget to turn in
your summer raffle tickets!

Sometimes when you read scripture, even a scripture that is familiar to
you, a word or a phrase jumps off the page and grabs your focus and
attention. Such is the case in today’s second reading, from the letter from
James, when James writes, “Humbly welcome the word that has been
planted in you and is able to save your souls.”
Humility is living out the realization that I am a fallible creature, not the
omniscient, all-powerful Creator. To welcome anything or anyone with
humility is to take the stance that this person or situation can offer me
something for my own growth, my personal benefit. In humility I realize
that I am incomplete and that I do not have all the answers. Humility
invites me to admit the fact that the viewpoint I am clinging to with such
tenacity may be wrong, or at best incomplete.
Humility reminds me that in those moments when, in my insistence on
doing things my way, I have created more disasters than I care to
remember. Humility shows me that I cannot do my life-project apart from
the help of another. Humility reminds me that others can see into the
darkness of my character defects even better than I can. Humility dares to
invite me to take off the spectacles of denial and see that which can offer
me the opportunity to be saved.
“Humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and is able to
save your souls.” Jesus is the Word of the Father made flesh. Today’s
gospel chronicles one of those familiar scenes in which the scribes and
Pharisees, in their arrogance and superiority, have rejected the Word in
order to cling to their own understanding of religion. They see the
disciples of Jesus not following the prescriptions of ritual purification and
have immediately come to the conclusion that these sinners must be far
from the heart of God. Jesus rebukes the Pharisees with the words of the
prophet Isaiah: “This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are
far from me.” One can only imagine if that word was welcomed with
humility. How many times people have offered correction and, in surly
arrogance, I have rejected the message and the messenger as well.
I have come to realize the yearning of the Father to speak to my heart the
very words that can keep me from disaster. I have come to realize that God
does not whisper – he often shouts through others in order to get past my
deafness. I have come to realize that my stubbornness of heart and
arrogance of spirit no longer works for my benefit and it is high time that I
apologized to those whom I have hurt as a result of clinging to my
pathetically narrow viewpoint. And finally, I hope to be able to see at this
point in my life that living in humility is not all that hard to do after all.

“Travel the World”
Dear Parishioners,
Travel the world without leaving Westbury! As summer vacations come to an end, I have had the
pleasure of hearing about parishioners’ exciting travels. This has made me think: “Why don’t we take the
time to share our experiences together?”
And so, I invite you to get your pictures ready and to travel the world with me and your fellow
parishioners. On September 16th we will have a dinner in St. Anthony Hall starting at 7:00 pm. All
parishioners are encouraged to bring pictures from their summer experiences and to share stories of these
adventures. Up to four parishioners will be selected to make a short presentation, having their pictures
projected on a screen for all to see.
If you would like to attend or would like to be considered for one of the four presentations, please fill out
the form below and return it to the parish offices. We recommend a $5 donation ($10 for families) to
help offset the cost of food. I also ask that you contact me if you would be able to bring food or dessert
to share.
I hope you will join me and your fellow parishioners on this “voyage” around the world!
In Christ,
fr. Jason

Outreach
Dear Family of Saint Brigid,
For more than 31+ million Americans, every day
becomes a struggle to find food for their family.
Millions of Americans are either “out-of-work”,
receiving unemployment or in fear of losing their
jobs, their homes and their stability. There are also
millions of Americans who are classified by
governmental statistics as “America’s poor”, who
continually find themselves left behind on what
statisticians call “the road to prosperity”.
The statistics, cold as they are, become even more
frightening when we learn that one in five children
live at or below the poverty level. It is a wellknown fact that children who are denied an
adequate diet are at greater risk of not realizing
their potential as God intends each child to reach.
We, at Parish Outreach, believe, there should
always be enough food in our Food Pantry shelves
to serve “those who are in need”. We are grateful
to the sixty or more parishioners who continually
bring food to the weekend masses, to our
“anonymous” parishioners who leave food at our
Food Pantry door, to the Knights of Columbus who
beg for us at supermarkets and to Long Island
Preparing for Marriage?
Engaged Encounter is an effective PreCana
program designed to provide you with the tools
for a successful marriage. Couples are given the
opportunity to explore many aspects of their
relationship through a series of presentations,
writings and dialog. There are no group discussions. Our next weekend will be held at the
Montfort Spirituality Center in Bay Shore October 2-4. For information/registration please call
631-563-1032 or visit www.engagedencounterli.org
Cares and Island Harvest who supplement our
needs with grants and donations.
In light of our growing needs, St. Brigid Parish
Outreach appeals to our greater “St. Brigid
Family” to help us serve God’s poor--” by
bringing one or two items of food” each week to
help us provide for the needs of our Outreach
families.
We are always in need of:
Peanut Butter/Jelly
Tomato/”Spaghetti” Sauce
Canned Vegetables
Everyone asks for corn!
Canned Meats and Tuna
Powdered Milk (Packets)
Juices (Plastic or six-packs)
Beans/Rice
As always....Thank you for the many, many
school supplies received this year. Children all
over Westbury join us in thanking our St. Brigid’s
family for their overwhelming generosity and
encouragement!
Fall Bereavement Support Group
St. Brigid will be holding a ten-week support group
for the newly bereaved starting on September 30. It
will meet on Wednesdays from 7:30 PM to 8:45 PM
in room 140 of St. Brigid’s School. The group is
designed to assist the newly bereaved in coping with
their grief and in learning to live in a world without
the deceased. It will be facilitated by Dr. Luciano
Sabatini, a professional bereavement counselor who
has been facilitating support groups at St. Brigid for
over 25 years. Interested individuals should call
516-334-0021 and request a registration form from
Maria or the receptionist . For questions about the
group, contact Dr. Sabatini at 516-799-5873.

Domingo XXI Ordinario – B
Juan 6. 60 -69
“Señor a quién iremos?”
Continuamos leyendo el famoso capítulo sexto de San Juan en el cual el autor
no habla sobre la Sagrada Eucaristía. Lo
interesante es que ahora no es la multitud
quien comienza murmurar. No, son nada
más no nada menos que los mismos discípulos del Señor. Solamente la gran intimidad que existe entre Jesús y los dos doce
puede lograr que permanezcan con El no
importa lo difícil que resulta el mensaje. Y
al escucharlo, dicen lo que muchos estaban
pensando. Y es muy cierto, el mensaje de
Jesús no es nada fácil. El reto que aquellos
discípulos confrontaron lo confrontamos
también nosotros.
¿Estamos dispuestos a aceptar ese reto?
¿Estamos dispuestos a seguir el camino
que El nos propone?
Conectando las lecturas:
Tanto la Primera Lectura como el Evangelio, nos retan a decidir a quién vamos a
servir. Esa decisión debe estar apoyada en
nuestro conocimiento y experiencia de lo
que Dios ha hecho por nosotros. Muy especialmente te, está basada en nuestra
relación con Dios nuestro Padre.
A veces seguimos a Jesús si entender
completamente y sin una convicción plena.
Pero como san Pedro sabemos que no hay
otro a quien ir. Con Pedro decimos,
“¿Señor a quién iremos?” “Tú tienes palabras de vida.”
¿Cómo es mi relación con el Señor?
