The church unites in praying for those who are critically ill. Our prayers can be a very effective channel for the healing power of Christ. Some people have a crisis or illness. Others are chronically ill. Both types of situations need the care and concern of the entire Body of Christ. At the request of concerned family members, names of the critically ill will be placed on our prayer list and will remain on the sick list for four (4) weeks. After that time they will be removed from the list. If a member of the family or the sick person himself or herself wishes to remain on the list, they have only to call or e-mail us and we will be happy to oblige.

Reflection- In today’s gospel, the disciples suggest that Jesus disperse the crowd so that they might individually seek food and lodging. The miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 is Jesus’ powerful reminder that when we share our gifts in His name there is always more than enough! General Intercession for Mass– That as good stewards, we receive the Body of Christ to become the Body of Christ in the world, we pray to the Lord. Living Stewardship- We are grateful this week for all stewards who continually develop their relationship with Jesus through prayer and the Eucharist.

Closed Monday, May 30th Adoration Chapel Will be Closed on Thursday, May 26th, and will reopen on Tuesday, May 31st in observance of Memorial Day A View from the Pew What Goes into Running a “Healthy Parish” By Gerry Chiariello I have been a parishioner at St. Patrick’s for almost 20 years, but up until recently I have had no involvement with any committee or group involved in assisting with the management or future planning of this or any other parish. Before my recent conscription by the Canons (and to this day), I would regularly read the bulletin to pass time before Mass started. I’m sure many of you have seen that small item in the bulletin which describes the past week’s collection and how that amount measures up against the parish’s basic budgetary needs and those of a “healthy” parish. Sadly, it regularly appears as if the parish only infrequently meets its minimum budget and never meets the needs of a so-called “healthy” parish. I often wondered what was meant by a “healthy” parish. Over the course of the past year or so, I have learned quite a bit about what the parish really needs and I wanted to pass some of this along to all parishioners so they can see behind the curtain, so to speak, and understand the significant task involved in running our parish. Prior to the arrival of the Canons, the business operation of the parish was apparently somewhat haphazard with an emphasis on mere survival rather than strategic planning for the future needs of the parishioners and the physical plant of the entire campus. Like in our own homes, the parish needs to have funds available to pay for utilities, salaries, debts, maintenance and upkeep as well as putting money away for future needs that will certainly arise. Many of us may not know that the parish must also pay the diocese an assessment out of weekly collections. And, although the regional school is on our campus, the parish must also pay a share towards its upkeep and support. Unfortunately, in years past, and partly due to dearth of contributions, there was little emphasis placed on fiscal management for the future needs of our facilities. During that time, the parish leaned heavily on the diocese for financial assistance as larger expenses arose. The result of this was that any capital campaigns during that era yielded little, if any, tangible improvement and more often than not went to repay debt owed to the diocese. Certainly no one wants to support a capital campaign that makes no capital improvement! Things are changing. Over the past few years, the Canons have made significant strides toward balancing the parish budget, cutting waste, seeking more efficient operating methods and prioritizing expenses – all with an eye to making the parish sustainable not only day-to-day, but in the future as well. Several members of the parish (mostly Mark Haynes) have devoted their time to preparing a significant facilities plan which outlines the major needs of the parish campus and prioritizing them. From the roofs, to the pavement, to the mechanical systems, to the bell tower and beyond – a lengthy and voluminous summary has been prepared which lays out what needs to be done now, in the short term and further into the future. Already the plans have been put into action with the bell tower remediation as well as the repair of the gutters and leaders on the church which had led to the flooding last winter. Other pending projects include repairs of the door closers in the church and the repair of the water stain on the church ceiling. While this all sounds great, the fact is the parish still does not have nearly enough money to tackle the significant and crucial projects that need to be addressed soon. Some of the roofs are well beyond their expected lifespan and there are significant pavement issues that must be addressed before we head into another winter – and that is only the beginning. On top of these pressing needs, the parish owes a significant sum to the diocese for unpaid assessments. Quite understandably, the Canons are reluctant to undertake any capital campaign from parishioners which will merely flow to the diocese in the form of payments for past due assessments – we all want a capital campaign that funds capital improvements! So what’s the plan? We are on the verge of having a meaningful proposal prepared for the diocese which will outline the significant strides the parish has made to get its financial house in order and which will put forth a concrete vision for the sustainability and improvement of the all the facilities and systems here on the hill - a formal business plan, so to speak. While no one likes to admit that their church is a “business”, the practical reality is that it must be managed as such if it is to survive. The Canons and the parishioners who have devoted their time have truly gotten off to a great start. However, unlike a business, the parish can’t raise prices. Only with your increased generosity (and perhaps even your time) can we expect to flourish. Hopefully, with the help of all of you, we will become the “healthy” parish to which we aspire rather than merely treading water to stay afloat.

Below, please find a letter from three very enthusiastic, talented and generous young people from our Parish who have a great idea! We are very fortunate to have them. - Father Daniel Hello, All! Recently, we began reminiscing about past theatrical productions we have participated in. In doing so, we realized that Glen Cove doesn’t have a theater that produces shows for the community to enjoy and participate in. As the conversation continued, we had the idea of producing a musical at St Patrick’s. Right away, we began to brainstorm. After some more planning, we decided to pitch our idea to Father Daniel. We wanted to create a new tradition at St Patrick’s – a summer musical! We thought we would have to do some convincing, but Father Daniel loved the concept and supports it 100 %. Our idea is becoming a reality. Father Daniel asked us to place something in the bulletin to inform the Parish. That being said, the first musical St Patrick’s is going to produce is Godspell. This beloved musical recreates the parables and life of Jesus and his disciples in a modern way and features songs like “Day by Day” “Save the People” and “All Good Gifts.” We are very excited to produce the musical in the Parish Hall this summer! • Auditions will be held mid-June, and the Musical will run the first weekend in August! • We are looking for actors age 15 – 25 to audition! You will be asked to prepare a song from a musical for the audition; there will be more info on the specifics later. As you can imagine, we’re going to need as much as we can get in the following areas: • Fundraising • Concessions • Advertising • Crew and Technical Positions • Ticket Sales If you have a special area of interest or talent that you would like to help us with, please contact us ASAP! As you can tell, we have a lot to do in a short amount of time. We urge you to contact us at [email protected] with any questions or concerns about the Musical. You can also reach out to our parents, Omar and Antoinette Patino, to contact us as well. Thank you and God Bless!

Faith Foundation Future All Saints Students visit Chocolate Works Students in the Top Achievers Program, T.A.P. in grades two through eight visited Chocolate Works in Bellmore, NY as part of the Fifth Grade T.A.P. project to study the affects sugar has on the brain. Students were divided into two groups. The first group covered cookies, graham crackers and pretzels with chocolate and followed the process as the food went through the conveyor belt. The second group tasted different types of cocoa powder. Students learned that 400 cocoa pods makes one pound of chocolate. The students also discovered that there is really only two types of chocolate, dark and milk. White chocolate is made with all fat. The trip was both fun and educational. Special Persons’ Day at All Saints Students in grades PreK through Eighth invited a special person to visit our school on Friday, May 13th.

El rey era Melquisedec, quien era también un sacerdote. Fue a dar a Abram, a quien después Dios nombraría Abraham, una bendición y a compartir pan y vino con él. La bendición de Melquisedec celebró como Dios había protegido a Abram, el padre de los israelitas en una batalla. Siglos más tarde, los cristianos vieron un parecido entre Jesucristo y Melquisedec. Entendieron el compartir el pan y el vino en esta lectura como un signo de la Eucaristía. 1 Corintios 11:23-26 Hoy, en la fiesta del Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo, escuchamos el recuento de Pablo sobre la última cena. Jesús toma el pan y da gracias, lo parte y dice: "Esto es mi cuerpo". Repite la misma acción sobre la copa de vino diciendo: "Este es el cáliz de mi sangre, sangre de la alianza nueva y eterna". De la misma forma, el celebrante repite las palabras y las acciones de Jesús en la oración eucarística de la misa. Cuando nos reunimos en la misa, compartimos el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo, de la misma forma que Jesús nos invitó a hacerlo en la última cena. Lucas 9:11b-17 ¿Te has fijado cómo todas las lecturas de hoy hablan de alimentar al pueblo? La historia del evangelio nos muestra a Jesús y a los Doce rodeados de una multitud hambrienta. Cuando protestaron porque no podían dar de comer a todos, Jesús dividió la multitud en pequeños grupos. Después tomó lo que tenían, cinco panes y dos peces, dio gracias, los partió e invitó a los discípulos a pasarlo para compartirlo. Hubo suficiente para todos. Podemos, por supuesto, ver esta historia como un signo de la Eucaristía, en la que Jesús continúa alimentando a la multitud de sus seguidores. Pero podemos también verlo como un reto que nos invita a alimentar a millones de hambrientos en nuestro mundo Evidentemente, con aquel pan, no había suficiente para la multitud; pero Jesús da las gracias. Quizás muchas veces nosotros nos paramos a lamentar lo que no tenemos en lugar de dar gracias por lo que sí tenemos, aunque parezca muy poco. Al dar gracias, se multiplica la acción de dar. Muchas veces también podríamos pensar que no tenemos mucho que ofrecer a la comunidad. No tenemos mucho talento o mucho tiempo, o no nos consideramos capaces; pero eso era lo mismo que decían los amigos de Jesús: no tenían ni siquiera casi para ellos, mucho menos para dar de comer a cinco mil; pero, al dar gracias y presentárselo a Dios, se multiplica; es el compartir que multiplica las cosas. Esta fiesta se comenzó a celebrar en Lieja en 1246, siendo extendida a toda la Iglesia occidental por el Papa Urbano IV en 1264, teniendo como finalidad proclamar la fe en la presencia real de Jesucristo en la Eucaristía. Presencia permanente y substancial más allá de la celebración de la Misa y que es digna de ser adorada en la exposición solemne y en las procesiones con el Santísimo Sacramento que entonces comenzaron a celebrarse y que han llegado a ser verdaderos monumentos de la piedad católica. Ocurre, como en la solemnidad de la Trinidad, que lo que se celebra todos los días tiene una ocasión exclusiva para profundizar en lo que se hace con otros motivos. Este es el día de la eucaristía en sí misma, ocasión para creer y adorar, pero también para conocer mejor la riqueza de este misterio a partir de las oraciones y de los textos bíblicos asignados en los tres ciclos de las lecturas. El Espíritu Santo después del dogma de la Trinidad nos recuerda el de la Encarnación, haciéndonos festejar con la Iglesia al Sacramento por excelencia, que, sintetizando la vida toda del Salvador, tributa a Dios gloria infinita, y aplica a las almas, en todos los tiempos, los frutos extraordinarios de la Redención. Si Jesucristo en la cruz nos salvó, al instituir la Eucaristía la víspera de su muerte, quiso en ella dejarnos un vivo recuerdo de la Pasión. El altar viene siendo como la prolongación del Calvario, y la misa anuncia la muerte del Señor. Porque en efecto, allí está Jesús como una víctima, pues las palabras de la doble consagración nos dicen que primero se convierte el pan en Cuerpo de Cristo, y luego el vino en Su Sangre, de manera que, ofrece a su Padre, en unión con sus sacerdotes, la sangre vertida y el cuerpo clavado en la Cruz. La Hostia santa se convierte en «trigo que nutre nuestras almas». Como Cristo al ser hecho Hijo de recibió la vida eterna del Padre, los cristianos participan de Su eterna vida uniéndose a Jesús en el Sacramento, que es el símbolo más sublime, real y concreto de la unidad con la Víctima del Calvario. Esta posesión anticipada de la vida divina acá en la tierra por medio de la Eucaristía, es prenda y comienzo de aquella otra de que plenamente disfrutaremos en el Cielo, porque «el Pan mismo de los ángeles, que ahora comemos bajo los sagrados velos, lo conmemoraremos después en el Cielo ya sin velos» (Concilio de Trento). Veamos en la Santa Misa el centro de todo culto de la Iglesia a la Eucaristía, y en la Comunión el medio establecido por Jesús mismo, para que con mayor plenitud participemos de ese divino Sacrificio; y así, nuestra devoción al Cuerpo y Sangre del Salvador nos alcanzará los frutos perennes de su Redención.
