Readers of last Sunday’s A Message from the Pastor might recall reading about the need to fix the roof over our heads at 87 Pine Street in Freeport where the Our Holy Redeemer School Building has been standing for nearly one hundred years. Like the buildings where you work, live, and study, the building at 87 Pine Street needs maintenance and repair to help ensure that a safe environment is provided for its users. And while last Sunday’s message identified users of the past (Our Holy Redeemer School students and the Sisters of Saint Dominic) and one of the present users of today (the De La Salle School), it did not mention the numerous other groups and individuals that will benefit from a new roof over their heads at 87 Pine Street. Groups such as the staff and volunteers of Our Holy Redeemer Human Services/Outreach and the hundreds of people they serve; the staff and volunteers of Our Holy Redeemer Religious Education and the hundreds of children they serve; the members of Our Holy Redeemer’s numerous societies and organizations such as Santo Redentor, Señor Misericordia, and Cristo Vive. Even the visitors who use our school building facilities such as Game 7 Sports and the Boy Scouts of America will benefit from a new roof and as such, they too are being asked to help put it there. While many of the items revealed by eight years of check-ups have been addressed (outdoor steps and stoops, windows, boilers, tile, bathroom sinks and toilets, and an additional dry well outside of Sumner Hall), we were not in a position to address the Our Holy Redeemer School-building’s old, leaking, and damaged roof until now. And that change in position is due in no small part to the growing number of people coming home to Our Holy Redeemer with time, talent, and treasure that is allowing this work (and so much more) to begin! The first phase of the multiple phase project is scheduled to begin on 10 October 2016, and will replace the flat roof on the south side of the building at a cost of nearly $30,000.00. Any contribution that you can offer will not only help see this first phase through to completion, but it could also allow us to start actively planning the second phase. A well-maintained Our Holy Redeemer School building today, will help provide for a well-maintained world tomorrow!

FAITH AND GOVERNMENT From John Adams to the Massachusetts Militia 11 October 1798 To the Officers of the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Militia of Massachusetts Quincy, 11 October 1798 Gentlemen, I have received from Major General Hull and Brigadier General Walker your unanimous address from Lexington, animated with a martial spirit and expressed with a military dignity, becoming your characters and the memorable plains, in which it was adopted. While our country remains untainted with the principles and manners, which are now producing desolation in so many parts of the world: while the continues sincere and incapable of insidious and impious policy: we shall have the strongest reason to rejoice in the local destination assigned us by providence. But should the people of America, once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practicing iniquity and extravagance; and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candour, frankness, and sincerity while it is rioting in rapine and insolence: this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world. Because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other An Address so unanimous and firm from the officers commanding two thousand eight hundred men, consisting of such substantial citizens as are able and willing at their own expense, completely to arm, and cloath themselves in handsome uniforms does honour to that division of the Militia which has done so much honour to their country. Oaths, in this country, are as yet universally considered as sacred obligations. That which you have taken and so solemnly repeated on that venerable spot is an ample pledge of your sincerity, and devotion to your country and its government. John Adams FAITH AND EDUCATION “PUT THE CELL PHONE DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION!” SCHOOL IS OPEN!!! NEWS FROM THE DE LA SALLE SCHOOL The weekend of 1-2 October was a memorable weekend for ten young men of The De La Salle School. These young men were chosen to represent our school at a Lasallian Leadership conference that was held in Providence, Rhode Island. Lunchtime Friday afternoon saw them boarding the van for the four-hour drive to Providence. Accompanied by Mr. Gault and Mr. Vera, the adventure began in the school parking lot on a cold and rainy day, extending the drive to almost five hours due to the weather conditions. On arrival we all checked in and then went to our first conference session. Students of the San Miguel School, Providence and La Salle Academy, Philadelphia joined our students. The program included dinner, icebreakers, games, and a movie that concluded the evening. Skeptical at first the young men of The De La Salle School quickly embraced their responsibilities and dove into full participation. Saturday was a full day with the morning starting with prayer and breakfast at 8:00 A.M. followed by talks and sessions designed to bring out and enhance their leadership skills. The early afternoon all travelled to a local bowling alley for some lunch and bowling activates. At the invitation of the local parish, we attended the 4:00 P.M. Mass. We returned to the hotel for another working session, followed by dinner at 7:00 PM. At the conclusion of dinner the students were given time to enjoy the hotel swimming pool. Exhausted all headed off to bed by 10:30 P.M. Sunday we gathered for breakfast and our final session at 8:00 A.M. Things were wrapped up and goodbyes said to newfound friends and fellow Lasallians. The journey home began around 10:00 A.M. and all The De La Salle School students were picked up in the parking lot by 2:00 PM. All had a beautiful weekend. 9 October 2016 – Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time C Sunday Readings: II Kings V: 14-17; II Timothy II: 8-13; Saint Luke XVII: 11-19 Student’s Name: _______________________________________________________ Class Day/Session: ______________________________________________________ Catechist Name: _______________________________________________________ Mass Time (Circle One): Sat: 5:00 PM 7:00 PM Sun: 7:00 AM 8:00 AM 9:30 AM 11:30 AM 1:00 PM 5:00 PM GOSPEL QUESTIONS: (Religious Education Students please answer ALL questions, cut and give to teacher weekly.

Be Ye Prepared DEBT REDUCTION SECOND COLLECTION-15/16 OCTOBER Thank you for your Generosity!!! What do you do when inclement weather or sickness prevents you from attending Sunday Mass at Our Holy Redeemer, or family/business obligations take you to Sunday Mass somewhere other than Our Holy Redeemer? More than likely, if you use Parish Envelopes to make your offering, you will place “Sundaymissed” envelopes in the Offertory basket the next time you attend Mass. If you don’t use envelopes, it is more than likely that your Sunday-missed offering will remain missing. It is not that you intentionally choose to give Our Holy Redeemer less, it’s just hard to intentionally give to Our Holy Redeemer what you think is more. “Stop thinking”; use envelopes or use E-Giving! E-Giving, like Offertory Envelopes (thank you for using them) provides you with a way of exercising faithful stewardship even when inclement weather or sickness prevents you from attending Sunday Mass at Our Holy Redeemer, or when family/business obligations take you to Sunday Mass somewhere other than Our Holy Redeemer.

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION “One [of the lepers] realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice” (See Luke 17:11-19). It is interesting that this particular leper, the one that returned grateful, realized he had been cured. One wonders if perhaps the others didn’t realize they too had been cured. What about us? Are we so used to our infirmities and our personal leprosy that even when the Lord touches us and heals us, we don’t know it, or worse, we don’t want His healing? After all, to remain infirm, continue being weak, allows us to get by without having to put too much effort. It seems to free us from having to go out of ourselves to help others. Sometimes when people say “I can’t”, what they really mean is “I don’t want to”. We need to change this attitude; we need to be like the leper that realized he had been healed. We need to return to Jesus glorifying God, giving Him thanks and changing our lives. During October, this Pro Life Month of the Rosary, let’s take this opportunity to pray the Rosary to give thanks to God for all He has done for us, and especially for the sacred gift of life!

FAITH AND THE ROMAN MISSAL WITH HELP FROM THE PASTOR AND POPE LEO XIII “For we have the record of not a few brave and experienced men, both before and after Christopher Columbus, who with stubbornness and zeal explored unknown lands and seas yet more unknown. And the memory of these, man, mindful of benefits, rightly holds, and will hold in honour; because they advanced the ends of knowledge and humanity, and increased the common prosperity of the race, not by light labour, but by supreme exertion, often accompanied by great dangers. But there is, nevertheless, between these and him of whom we speak, a generous difference. He was distinguished by this unique note, that in his work of traversing and retraversing immense tracts of ocean, he looked for a something greater and higher than did these others. We say not that he was unmoved by perfectly honourable aspirations after knowledge, and deserving well of human society; nor did he despise glory, which is a most engrossing ideal to great souls; nor did he altogether scorn a hope of advantages to himself; but to him far before all these human considerations was the consideration of his ancient faith, which questionless dowered him with strength of mind and will, and often strengthened and consoled him in the midst of the greatest difficulties. This view and aim is known to have possessed his mind above all; namely, to open a way for the Gospel over new lands and seas. …” … “And if (Christopher Columbus) moved Ferdinand and Isabella to decree that only Catholic Christians should be suffered to approach the New World and trade with the natives, he brought forward as reason, "that he sought nothing from his enterprise and endeavour but the increase and glory of the Christian religion." And this was well known to Isabella, who better than any had understood the great man's mind; indeed it is evident that it had been clearly laid before that most pious, masculine-minded, and great-souled woman. For she had declared of Columbus that he would boldly thrust himself upon the vast ocean, "to achieve a most signal thing, for the sake of the Divine glory." And to Columbus himself, on his second return, she writes: "That the expenses she had incurred, and was about to incur, for the Indian expeditions, had been well bestowed; for thence would ensure a spreading of Catholicism." (For further reading please visit www.vatican.va/holy_father/leo_xiii/encyclicals/documents/hf_l-xiii_enc_16071892_quarto-abeunte-saeculo_en.html) For the evangelization of peoples Collect The Santa Maria O God, You have willed that Your Church, be the Sacrament of Salvation for all nations, so that Christ’s saving work may continue to the end of the ages; stir up, we pray, the hearts of Your faithful and grant that they may feel a more urgent call to work for the Salvation of every creature, so that from all the peoples on earth one family and one people of Your own may arise and increase. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. FAITH AND YOUTH ALTAR SERVERS Altar Servers assist the Priest and Deacon at the Holy Mass in carrying out their sacred functions.

For more information please call (631) 243-2373 MENSAJE DEL PASTOR 9 DE OCTUBRE DE 2016 PONIÉNDOLE TECHO AL EDIFICIO DE LA ESCUELA Mucho antes de que el edificio del 87 de la Calle Pine albergara la Escuela De La Salle, albergó La Escuela de Nuestro Santo Redentor, donde de 1925 a 1995 las Hermanas de Santo Domingo cumplieron con la comisión de Jesús: “Vayan y hagan discípulos de todas las naciones, Bautizándolos en el Nombre del Padre, y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo; enseñándoles a hacer todas las cosas que yo les he mandado.” (San Mateo XXVIII: 19-20). Dos de esas hermanas (La Hermana Carita, O.P. y la Hermana Catalina O.P.) junto con docenas de estudiantes de OHR del pasado regresaron a Nuestro Santo Redentor para la Misa de las 11:30 AM del Domingo 18 de septiembre en la que con éxito respondieron a las preguntas: “¿Quién te hizo?” y “¿Por qué te hizo Dios?” Después, fueron “recompensados” con un refrigerio matutino (cortesía del Imperial Diner), y una gira por sus “antiguas aulas” ofrecida por los miembros del cuerpo estudiantil actual de Nuestro Santo Redentor: los muchachos de la Escuela De la Salle. De las fotos en la portada del Boletín de la semana pasada se desprende que todos los participantes la pasaron muy bien. Todos los estudiantes y maestros asociados con esa escuela son veinte, treinta, cuarenta, cincuenta y hasta sesenta años mayores que cuando venían a clases en el 87 de la Calle Pine. Y tal como con el paso del tiempo nuestros exámenes médicos anuales muestran la necesidad de hacer reparaciones, así también ha sucedido con los exámenes anuales que se le han hecho al Edificio de la Escuela de Nuestro Santo Redentor. Durante los pasados ocho años de mi Pasturado, esos exámenes anuales han revelado la necesidad de reemplazar escalones, ventanas, calderas, azulejos, lavabos e inodoros de baños y de instalar un pozo seco adicional en el exterior de la Sala Sumner a fin de mejorar el drenaje en un área que era impasable después de una lluvia fuerte. Y mientras que muchos de estos artículos han sido parcialmente (escalones, lavabos, inodoros) o completamente (calderas) arreglados, la condición del techo sobre todos estos artículos todavía no había sido seriamente evaluada. Es decir, hasta ahora. La porción del viejo techo de la Escuela que gotea y está averiada que vamos a comenzar a reemplazar como primera fase de un proyecto multifacético, es el techo plano en el lado sur del edificio. El trabajo en esta porción comenzará el 10 de octubre del presente y se espera que cueste aproximadamente $30,000. Y puesto que usted ha ayudado a costear otras partes de los proyectos de la escuela en el pasado, le pido que por favor ayude a costear una porción del proyecto actual. ¡Un edificio bien mantenido de la Escuela de Nuestro Santo Redentor hoy, nos ayudará a proveer un mundo bien mantenido mañana! PONIÉNDOLE TECHO A LA ESCUELA NOMBRE: _________________________________________________________________________________ ESTUDIANTE / GRADUADO DE LA ESCUELA DE NUESTRO SANTO REDENTOR: SÍ NO NÚMERO DE TELÉFONO: _______________________________________________ CANTIDAD PROMETIDA: $2500 $1250 $1000 $750 $500 $250 OTRA _______________ REFLEXIÓN SEMANAL “Uno de ellos, al ver que estaba curado, regresó, alabando a Dios en voz alta.” Me pregunto si la razón por la que los otros nueve no regresaron para darle gracias a Jesús por su cura fue que no se dieron cuenta de que habían sido sanados. A veces nos acostumbramos tanto a nuestra debilidad y a nuestra lepra personal que aun cuando el Señor nos sana, no lo sabemos, o lo que es aún peor, no lo queremos. Nos acostumbramos a los viejos caminos, y no es fácil abandonarlos. Cuando permanecemos en lo viejo, nunca tenemos que enfrentarnos a la molestia del desafío. Después de todo, el decir ‘no puedo’ hacer esto nos libra de participar en muchas cosas. Muy a menudo cuando decimos ‘no puedo,’ lo que en realidad estamos diciendo es ‘no quiero.’ Cuando tenemos esa actitud es imposible que la gracia sanadora de Jesús realmente tenga efecto en nuestras vidas y en nuestras emociones. . . . Como el leproso del evangelio, tenemos que realmente quererlo cuando le pedimos a Jesús que tenga misericordia de nosotros y nos limpie. También tenemos que estar listos para regresar a él con gozo para darle gracias y para cambiar nuestra vida.” El comenzó a Enseñarles Muchas Cosas El comenzó a Enseñarles Muchas Cosas Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo 2654 Los Padres espirituales parafraseando Mt 7, 7, resumen así las disposiciones del corazón alimentado por la palabra de Dios en la oración: “Buscad leyendo, y encontraréis meditando; llamad orando, y se os abrirá por la contemplación” (Guido El Cartujano, Scala claustralium, 2, 2).

They stood at a distance from Him and raised their voices saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” And when He saw them, He said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going, they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked Him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Then He said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.” Saint Luke XVII: 11-19 Directions: Find the words below from today’s Scripture reading in the puzzle.
