11th Sunday in Ordinary Time June 14, 2015 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time October 18, 2015 You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all.

Memorial donations To donate the flowers on the altar or bread and wine and/ or candles offered at Mass each week, please contact the parish office. From the Pastor’s Desk October 17/18 In Nomine Domini Update Dear Parish Family, Our In Nomine Domini renewal is about to take a huge step from drawing board to reality. We have already brought a number of projects to completion: Our bell tower and carillon are complete and ringing. Our interior lighting upgrade is 90% complete. We estimate that the total power of all our fixtures before the upgrade was about 21,600 watts! Now that will spin your electric meter. At this point we are brighter and now using only about 10% of that energy. The last piece of this project is to upgrade the front altar spots and the exterior church lighting for the building and walkways. Or course I am sure you are all anxious about the big projects: heating and air conditioning, pew refinishing, carpet, and restrooms. Here is the current schedule. November 2015 • Required upgrade to electric service • Contracts awarded for our geothermal wells—If required permits can be secured in time, the work will be done before the new year. March / April 2016 • Beginning the day after Easter, March 26, our church will close for about 2 weeks to allow removal of old radiators and installation of new heating / cooling units. • We are working to coordinate removal / refinishing of pews and floor refinishing in that same time frame. • Depending on the schedule and temperatures, we may still be able to have Sunday Mass in Church—we will use the church hall if needed. May 2006 • By mid May our air-conditioning is scheduled to be operational. • We will be able to put finishing touches on carpet and pew work as the job is completed. Rest Rooms • At the present time we have a design for the rest rooms. There will be two located in the east side vestibule of the church (on the left as you face the altar). We are presently working our way through permits and creating final bid documents for the work. I hope this can be scheduled over the winter and early spring. So as you can see there is a lot that has taken place. We are in a position now to see things really move in the next few months. Thank you so much for your generosity. None of this would be possible without your love for Sacred Hearts! Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Michael A. Vetrano, Pastor All Souls Day Mass of Remembrance On Saturday, November 7, 2015 at 10 AM we will celebrate a mass in memory of all those parishioners who passed away in the year since last All Souls Day. Invitations have been sent to the families whose loved ones were buried from the Basilica of Sacred Hearts of Jesus & Mary. These names are remembered below. If you are aware of any others who should be remembered at this mass please contact the parish office and an invitation will be sent. Thomas Lavinio Kathryn Duggan Aidan J.

Now in its ninth year, this campaign consists of people around the country addressing this issue with some time set aside for prayer, fasting, and, where possible, attending prayerful vigils outside abortion centers. See www.40daysforlife.com Reflections On the Gospel from Pax Christi October 18, 2015 Sunday’s readings are likely to speak quite directly to each of us. After all, haven’t we all experienced suffering? And haven’t we hoped that our suffering will somehow prove worth the pain? Don’t we all wish for glory of some kind? And aren’t we inclined to think that we can do what it takes to achieve it? But do the readings speak as directly to us when Jesus makes it very clear that to share in his glory we must serve selflessly, even if that results in torture and death? Ouch! Why does this faith have to be so hard? Let’s ask ourselves, “Am I willing to serve humbly with boundless generosity? What does that mean in my real, personal life?” Then, give it a try. Religious Liberty in the United States An Evening with Thomas Renker Monday Evening, October 19th Increasingly, cultural changes that come into conflict with religious teaching are reflected in statutory, judge-made and administrative law. The transformation of these cultural movements into law affects the rights of religious people and organizations to conduct themselves in conformance with the teachings of their faith. Thomas Renker, General Counsel of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, will offer a perspective on the growing conflict between culture and religious freedom in the United States. Tom Renker joined the Diocese of Rockville Centre as General Counsel on October 22, 2007. For over 25 years, he has provided legal counsel to New York not-for-profit religious organizations and is now active, along with the grass roots Long Island organization, Catholics for Freedom of Religion, in raising awareness of growing governmental and cultural threats to the practice of religion in the public square. A native Long Islander and alumnus of Chaminade High School, Tom is a 1986 graduate of New York University School of Law and a 1982 graduate of Columbia College, Columbia University. A former resident of Sag Harbor, where his three children attended Stella Maris Regional School, he and his wife, Mary, now reside in Mineola and are parishioners of Corpus Christi parish. 2015 Catholic Ministries Appeal “Faith grows when it is lived and shaped by love.” Pope Francis Serving God by Serving Others CatholicMinistriesAppeal.org Please consider donating to the Appeal and helping us to support our priests, deacons and lay leaders.
