OUR LITURGY

Acts describes the vigorous spirit of the early Church: faithfulness

to the teaching of the Apostles, to the Eucharist, and

to works of generosity. Peter’s letter proclaims that even

though our faith is tested by many trails, we possess a joy

which no one can take away. In the Gospel, the Risen Lord

appears and helps Thomas to doubt no longer, but to believe.

FROM THE DESK OF FR. MIKE

In his first letter, Peter tells us once again what it is we are rejoicing about during this whole Easter

Season-new life through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the great time of

celebration for us, a time that does not end till Pentecost Sunday. Yet, we know that it really doesn’t end

at Pentecost no, the celebration continues every time we gather around the table of the Lord every Sunday.

Today this Second Sunday of Easter is also Divine Mercy Sunday. This special

designation for this day comes from the Apparitions of Jesus to Saint Faustina, when our

Lord asked that a feast day be dedicated to the Divine Mercy. This day was granted to

St. Faustina in a decree dated May 23,2000. In honor of our dear Lord’s request, we will

hold a Holy Hour starting at 3PM before Jesus in the Exposed Blessed Sacrament.

Also, at the 12 Noon Mass Fr. Dineros, who was stationed here just before Fr. Liu arrived, will

celebrate his 50th Anniversary as a priest. Congratulations to Fr. Dineros for his many years of priestly

service to the Church, the Diocese, and to our beloved St. Joseph’s. A reception will follow the Mass in

Carew Hall-all are invited.

On behalf of the whole parish I would like to thank: Chrissy McHale, Frank Dell’Aglio, Brendan Kolarik,

Mark Buttonow, Mathew Wimpelberg, Gloria Napolitano, and Lee Descoteaux for sharing with us their

thoughts and experiences as they meditated on the Seven Last Words of Christ on Good Friday.

As we announced last weekend we are happy to welcome Mrs. Leona Arpino to our parish staff as the

next Principal of Saint Joseph’s School. We thank our dear Mrs. Salvietti for her many years of dedicated

service to our school and wish her well in her retirement. The members of the Principal Search Committee

are more than confident that Mrs. Arpino will do an excellent job in carrying on the fine traditions of our

school and building upon the work of Mrs. Salvietti and her predecessors.

Next weekend we will have available in the Church Postcards to send to U.S. Senators Charles

Schumer and Hillary Clinton. We are petitioning them to not require support for Roe v. Wade (the Supreme

Court ruling which made Abortion legal in this country) as a condition, Litmus Test, for determining a

nominee’s fitness to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States or any other Federal Court. The

postcard signing gives parishioners, as individuals and as a body, an opportunity to give public witness to

their belief in the sanctity of human life. People remember signing the cards, and public officials

understand that the postcards represent concerned constituents. An educational flyer will also be

available.

We close with the prayers said during the Divine Mercy Chaplet: Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and

Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and

those of the whole world. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy in us and on the whole world.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen!

Happy Easter

It’s well known that many people coming

together for the same purpose are much

more likely to be noticed. Also true, doing

things with others of like mind to your own

is mutually encouraging.

LOBBY for LIFE DAY enables you to be

seen and heard by legislators, particularly

your own, and by other pro-life people.

Also important are the pro-life images and information

given to those who are not pro-life.

LOBBY for LIFE DAY 2005, presented by the NYS Right

to Life Committee, Inc., will take place in Albany on

Tuesday, April 5th (Call 588-0168 regarding bus

transportation.) The featured speaker will be Amy

Campbell, JD, a University of Rochester School of

Medicine and Dentistry faculty member specializing in

Ethics. Among her responsibilities, Ms. Campbell teaches

law and medical students on ethics and policy-related

issues at the intersection of law and health care. (Very

timely topic, considering the Schiavo case).

There will also be appearances by NY State

Legislature pro-life leaders, and following the speakers

there will be a special program for teenagers.

Hearing Room “A” of the NYS Legislative Office

Bldg. in Albany is the place; the date is Tuesday, April

5th, from 10:00 am until 2 pm. All are welcome.

Call 588-0168 for more information.

The Catholic Ministries Appeal is the

annual appeal of the Diocese of

Rockville Centre and it benefits four

main areas: Catholic Charities,

Education and Formation, Pastoral

Ministries, and all of the 133 Parishes.

The following is a story of someone

who was helped recently through

Catholic Charities which the Catholic

Ministries Appeal funds…

Catherine came to America from Italy

with her parents when she was only 10

years old. After WWII, she married

and set up home on Long Island.

Unfortunately, her life changed

dramatically when her husband

abandoned her after 40 years of

marriage. Her difficulties were

compounded when the government

denied her benefits because of

confusion surrounding her citizenship

and missing documentation. Catherine

lost food stamps, Medicaid, and Social

Security benefits. She had no family or

friends whom she could turn to for

support during her time of great

struggle.

Fortunately, a Catholic Charities case

manager assisted Catherine. Catherine

is now able to attend the Catholic

Charities Seaford Senior Center where

she enjoys a nutritious daily meal,

companionship, and the assurance that

she is being helped during her life’s

most challenging moment.

Please consider supporting the

Catholic Ministries Appeal so that

more people like Catherine can receive

the help they so desperately require.

How are the funds from the Catholic

Ministries Appeal distributed?

20.3% of the funds are dedicated to

Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities

provides services to Long Islanders in

the areas of Senior Services; Food and

Nutrition Programs; Maternity

Services; Housing Services; Child and

Family Health Care; Mental Health;

Chemical Dependency; and AIDS/

HIV.

20% of the Catholic Ministries funds

are shared with the Parishes. Parishes

dedicate their portion of the funds

raised to support their own local needs.

25.4% is used for Education and

Formation. Through our Catholic

elementary and high schools and

Religious Education programs we pass

our faith along to our children.

Additionally, at the Immaculate

Conception Seminary there are 22

young men preparing for their priestly

lives. The Seminary also educates

laymen and women preparing to

assume ministerial roles within our

Church. It also offers an accredited

Master's Degree program in Theology.

34.3% is used for the Pastoral

Ministries of the Diocese for such

programs as guarding the lives of the

unborn through Respect Life

initiatives; reaching out to immigrant

Catholics who are marginalized and

need our assistance; providing

healthcare chaplains; and campus

ministers at our local colleges.

Your gift to the Catholic

Ministries Appeal is used for so

many worthwhile causes. Please

help us to continue these programs

of our Church.

St. Joseph’s Cub Scout Pack 272 and Boy Scout Troop 272

have fun, exciting, educational, character building programs

for boys, age 7 through 17 (first grade and up).

We have found a way to help St Joseph and keep those

complicated pieces of plastic, metal and printed circuit

boards out of the land fill. Drop them off (in a plastic

baggie) when you come to mass. We will send them to a

company who reuses them and gives the parish a bounty for

each. One note, to clear confusion, if it is larger than a fist,

it is not an inkjet cartridge!!!
