Pastor’s Letter
April 28/29, 2018                               Is My Dad in Heaven?
Dear Parish Family,

“Is my dad in heaven?” This is the question that a young boy named Emanuele asked Pope
Francis. The pope was visiting the parish of St. Paul of the Cross in Corviale, Italy. The
children of the community were invited to ask the pope a question. When it was Emanuele’s
turn the boy suddenly seemed embarrassed and afraid to ask his question. The pope waved to
him and encouraged him. “Come”, said the Pope, “whisper your question in my ear.”

The other priests and adults from the parish encouraged Emanuel to go forward. When he
finally reached the pope he whispered his question in the Holy Father’s ear. “My father has
been gone for a short time. He was an atheist, but he baptized his four children. He was a
good man. Is my dad in Heaven?" The pope whispered an answer and then turned to speak to
the crowd.

He began: “It's nice that a son says that about his father, that he was good. If that man was
able to raise his children like that, then he was a good man. God is proud of that father." Then
he asked the crowd: “Do you think that God would be able to leave a man like him far from
Himself?” The crowd whispered an answer. The pope continued: “Do you think that? Louder,
with courage." “No!” they replied loudly. The pope continued: “Does God abandon His
children?” “No!” “Does God abandon His children when they are good?” “No!” The pope
concluded: “Here, Emanuele, this is the answer. God surely was proud of your father...,
Thanks Emanuele for your courage.”

Pope Francis asked the boy’s permission to share this conversation with us. He clearly saw the
pain and distress of this young boy as an opportunity to both be a shepherd and to teach us to
be shepherds. That is what it means to be pastoral – the word literally coming from the care of
shepherds for their sheep. In this time after Easter the gospels talk about many examples of
care. Shepherds and sheep. Vine and branches. These are images of unity and they come
directly from Jesus who told his disciples that one day there would be one flock and one
shepherd. It is the work of criticism to emphasize what divides us. It is the work of ministry
and care to build on what forgives and unites.

I understand why Emanuele was afraid. How terrible to think that his father would be
criticized for his atheism. But he had to ask the question. Perhaps deep
down he knew what the pope would say. He had to hear him say it. It is
clearly Pope Francis’ gift to be such a pastoral person. It is equally clear
that he wants us to go and do the same.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Rev. Michael A. Vetrano, Pastor

Fifth Sunday of Easter April 29, 2018 - I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because ...
I grew up Catholic, but for some reason I just sort of stopped going to Church…

                     I just moved to a new city, I tried going to a few different parishes, but I never
                  really felt welcomed…

                     I just donʹt understand why the Church teaches what it does! Some teachings seem
                  so outdated…

                   RCIA: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is the process through which non-
                  baptized adults enter the Catholic Church. RCIA is also the process in which adults baptized in
                  another Christian community, or baptized in the Catholic Church but never having completed the
                  Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist) enter the Catholic Church in full
                  communion. This process includes several stages marked by study, prayer, and rites at Mass.
                   If you or someone you know is inquiring about a return to full communion with our faith, or beginning a
                  journey towards baptism please join us on Tuesday evenings for small group discussions.
                                                 Meetings held Tuesday Nights at 7:00 P.M. – 8:30 P.M
                                                 in the office of Social Ministry in the Parish Rectory.
                    There is NO COST for participation in this program. For more information and to register please contact

In Sympathy
                     James G. Nugent, Jr.
                     We mourn the passing of Jim Nugent on April 15, 2018. A Mass of
                     Christian burial was celebrated at the Basilica Parish of Sacred Hearts of
                     Jesus & Mary on April 27, 2018, by Rev. Msgr. Jeffrey J. Madley. Mr.
                     Nugent was a Vice President at Merrill Lynch and a Managing Director at
                     Alpine Capitol Management, Inc. He loved going to the beach, enjoying old
                     movies, listening to music and riding his bike around Southampton. Jim
                     was a long-time parishioner of Sacred Hearts. Our sympathies go our to his
                     parents, Jim & Marianne Nugent, his sister, Marianne Turner and brother, John G. Nugent.

Easter Vigil

                                                 Sharing Our Gifts through the CMA
Around

                     As stewards, we choose to live our lives in thanksgiving to our generous God. Our actions and words - what we choose to
                     do or not to do - are all examples of our gratitude. Christian stewards seek ways to share what we have been given. One
                     very important vehicle for exercising our stewardship is the Catholic Ministries Appeal. The CMA allows us an opportunity
                     to share our gifts in many different ways.
                     Gift of Financial Resources: Of course, when we think of the Catholic Ministries Appeal, we think of sharing our financial
                     resources. More than 600,000 of our sisters and brothers received support and assistance from the funds shared through
                     the CMA each year. It is rare that just one person or one parish could touch this many lives. The CMA brings us beyond the
                     individual, the group and the parish and unites us as one Church of Long Island.
                     Gifts of Time and Talent: In addition to money, the CMA offers opportunities to share our time and talent. Parishes often
                     form CMA committees to support a smooth and organized Appeal effort. Others share their gifts by volunteering in the
                     ministries that the CMA supports. One of the great benefits of the Appeal is communication. People are informed of the
                     many good works, programs and opportunities in this diocese. The CMA tells of the good works of the Church and
                     communicates the opportunities to share our God-given gifts.
                     Gift of Prayer: The Catholic Ministries Appeal brings us closer to those we help and support. We can become more
                     “connected” with our sisters and brothers through prayer. We may wish to pray for those who support the Appeal, those
                     who volunteer, those who receive support and even those who cannot participate for whatever reason.

                                               The Catholic Ministries Appeal is
                                                    Stewardship in action!
                                          To make a donation, you can also visit CatholicMinistriesAppeal.org

Eucharistic Adoration
Become an Anchor of Prayer
for Family Life
The Catechism quotes Saint John Paul
II: “The Church and the world have a
great need for Eucharistic worship.
Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of
love. Let us not refuse the time to go to
meet him in adoration, in
contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offenses
and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease.
Our parish will have an hour of Eucharistic Adoration following the noon mass
on Fridays. We would like to dedicate this hour as a time of contemplation
and reflection to pray especially for our families. For strength in family life, for
the return of family members to the church, for healing and reconciliation
within families that are hurting.

                                                                                                       Spirituality

                                   Mr. Christopher Scapellati and his Prep 8 students hosted over one hundred
                                   local senior citizens as part of their outreach to the Senior Community.

Education

                                     The twenty-five young men who comprise the Hamptonix, OLH’s singers,
            traveled to Maria Regina Residence in Brentwood and provided a mini-concert, visited residents and
            assisted with special crafts projects.

            Miss Kacey Schick and her third graders prepared the post-Easter liturgy that also featured a special
            birthday treat for thee Mass’ celebrant, Father Paul Dahm.

            The competition tap teams at OLH brought home significant awards for their performance in the
            recent That’s Entertainment Regional finals. The dancers, boys and girls from grades one through
            eight are choreographed by Mrs. Elyse Curro.

            Now…more than ever…there is need for a strong Catholic elementary education on the East End!

            Kindergarten, grades 1 and 5. Space is limited in grades 2and 3, with waiting lists in grades 4 and 6.
            Interested families are asked to call for personal appointments and tours.
            Placement in the elite OLH Prep program for grades 7 and 8 is at a premium, so early consideration
            is advised.     This program features Regents level courses in Math and Science, as well as an
            aggressive ELA curriculum, integrated Fine Arts and competitive sports programs in volleyball,
            basketball, baseball, cross-country and softball. Personal interviews are required.

How hard it is to believe that someone who has been serious trouble has been rehabilitated! How hard
it is to trust that such a person has converted to a totally new and noble way of life! Certainly, Jesus’s
disciples struggled to accept Saul, the persecutor of Christians, when he first entered their presence as
one of them. It took action to convince them that Saul had truly become Paul, a leader and defender of
the faith. St. John writes of the critical importance of love in deed and truth, not just word or speech.
And Jesus speaks of the necessity of bearing fruit. Let us take from Sunday’s readings these funda-
mental lessons: that even the worst among us can be transformed and that we must match our good in-

                        singing or playing an instrument to enhance and guide the worship
                        experience. We are always in need of new singers and those who play
                        instruments. Now is the perfect time to join us in praising God through
                        the gift of music. Whether you are a beginning musician or a

                        Be A Year Round Friend and Supporter of SHJM

                        It’s that time of year when the days get colder and a time when many SHJM parishioners have active
                        plans. The migration of summer visitors, people heading to warmer climes for the winter, vacations,
                        and travels all diminish the numbers of those who are able to worship here each week. But please
                        remember that our parish itself is here year round and we never take a break from service and
                        ministry. Last year we began a program of planned, automated giving, called First Fruits. It was a
                        huge success and well over 10% of our supporters participate in this way. It enabled our parish to
                        maintain a more consistent year round income. Automated giving can help insure that our parish
                        remains strongly supported. So here are some ways you can do this:

                        First Fruits: The easiest, and best if you are technologically challenged is to
                        enroll in First Fruits. All you need to do is give us a void check and fill out a
                        Frist Fruits Form. You can get one on our website, at the rectory, or at the back
                        of church. First Fruits transfers a contribution either weekly or monthly from
                        your checking account to the church.

                        Online Bill Pay: Chances are your bank already had a online check writing
                        service called Bill Pay. If you have online access to your checking account you can set it up to write a
                        regular check to SHJM. Just visit your online banking site and set it up for the contribution you
                        desire. Remember to include your Envelope Number.

                        Pay Pal: Pay pal is another way you can make regular contributions. Soon it will also be a way that
                        you can contribute using Credit Cards. Check our website and check back here for more information.
