Pastor’s Letter June 22/23

Dear Parish Family,

It seems these days that many delightful parts of growing up are valued primarily for their future economic benefit. Sports like soccer and lacrosse are important not for the fun of it all but because they might lead to grants and scholarships. Volunteer service is important because it looks good on one’s résumé and can help land a job or gain admission to a college. And once in college, education itself becomes the path to a career and financial security. Taken in that way, I suppose my own educational experience was a disaster. All those dollars and years spent on a degree in physics only to end up with an almost immediate switch to a new vocation — priesthood. Of course from today’s point of view I did not have that much invested. My whole college journey, all four years, was less than five thousand dollars! But never mind the money. The idea of college, or any other educational pursuit, as a place to learn how to make a living is tragically misleading. Studying the history of our world, its diverse cultures and religions, the discoveries of science, the thinking of great scholars and philosophers is the best thing that can happen to a young person. This kind of knowledge is not a means to an end but a foundation on which a person can build a life. Everything we learn makes us deeper, more interesting, and more appreciative people, including being a priest with a more than passing acquaintance with Einstein’s theory of relativity! Besides, it makes for interesting dinner conversation. Education, then, is more about becoming a person than finding a job or making a living. From that perspective, here is some advice for the class of 2013 whether you are graduating from college, high school, or pre-school. Take your time. Soak it all in. Keep being a learner. And don’t worry. Know that the answer to the great question, whatever it is that you should be about in your life, will come to you. Such thoughts about education are very Christian. After all, the Christian idea is not to figure out your own life but to discover it and to allow God to lead you. More often than not, it is the surprises and not the careful planning and calculating that make for a wonderful life. Sincerely yours in Christ,

Rev. Michael A. Vetrano

Welcome to our New Religious

Education Director Jennifer Ferrantino

Since Sister Assunta announced that this spring she would conclude her ministry here as Director of Religious Education we have been looking for someone to take up the awesome work of educating our young people in the faith. Sr. Assunta did a wonderful job and finding a good person to lead us would not be easy. This week I am happy to announce that Jennifer Ferrantino will be joining us as director beginning this July. Jennifer has an excellent background in education and in human development. She will shortly be completing a degree in Psychology from Stony Brook University. Jennifer and her family have been active members of our Sacred Hearts family for many years and I know she will bring many good ideas and resourcefulness to the work of faith formation here in our parish. Please join in welcoming her and supporting her as she begins this most important ministry.

During the next two weeks we are invited to join with fellow Catholics around our diocese and country in prayer for the preservation of our first amendment right to the free exercise of religion. This right has been threatened by certain government laws and initiatives which violate the freedom of conscience of Catholic ministries in areas such as health care.

For information please see: ♦ www.drvc.org — our diocesan website ♦ www.nyscatholic.org — Website of the New York State Catholic Conference Also please note some important upcoming events in our diocese and parish: ♦ Rally for Religious Liberty at St. John the Baptist HS on June 29. 2013 from 10 am to 1 pm ♦ Closing mass at St. Agnes Cathedral, July 4 at 12:10 PM ♦ Liberty Mass here at Sacred Hearts :: Thursday July 4 at 9 AM

La Na vidad de San Juan Bau sta. Año C. Ilustración © 2001 S. Erspamer. Printed from www.Liturgy.com

La Gloria de Dios - Juan, el sueño anhelado de un día de verano, es uno de los tres “nacimientos en el mundo” que la Iglesia celebra; los otros dos son el de Jesús en diciembre y el de María en septiembre. Juan, a quien el propio Jesús llamó “el hombre más grande nacido de mujer”, es el último de los sueños y promesas que lleva hacia la encarnación. Juan, nacido como una luz para el mundo, apunta hacia Jesús, Salvador nuestro y del mundo entero: “¡Ése es el Cordero de Dios!” Luego, al terminar su trabajo, su luz se extingue para dar lugar a la luz de Cristo. ¡Miren el esplendor de la gloria de Dios! Texto: Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2001, OCP. Derechos reservados.

Vivir Preparados - La liturgia del día nos presenta a Juan Bautista como el que preparó el camino del Señor. Las lecturas de hoy hacen eco a las del profeta Isaías, quien invitó a su pueblo a prepararse para la llegada del Mesías. Este aspecto de "preparación" es un tema común para los discípulos de Cristo y para la Iglesia. En nuestro diario vivir, siempre debemos estar preparados para encontrarnos con Jesús en el pobre y necesitado - en los que necesitan de nosotros, en las viudas y en los huérfanos - y, al mismo tiempo, debemos vivir preparados para nuestro encuentro con Él, cara a cara, para toda la eternidad. By Juan J. Sosa, Pbro., from Liturgia y Canción 2013 © 2012, OCP. All rights reserved

Llamado por Nombre Propio -¿Qué hay en un nombre? Decididamente, mucho. El nombre nos da personalidad e identidad. A todos nos halaga mucho cuando los sacerdotes y los ministros de la Iglesia nos llaman por nuestro nombre. Nos sentimos aceptados y conocidos por ellos de una manera especial. En la liturgia de hoy se recalca mucho la idea de ser llamado (la lectura de Jeremías) por un nombre apropiado (evangelio de san Lucas). Todos… compartimos con Juan el Bautista la misión de anunciarle a los demás con esperanza la presencia viva de nuestro Dios en Jesucristo, el Señor. By Juan J. Sosa, Pbro., from Liturgia y Canción 2011 © 2011, OCP. All rights reserved

Sharing the Gospel Jesus warned his disciples that people were going to make him suffer and die. He said that the Son of Man would rise to life. Jesus did die to save us from our sins. And he did rise from the dead. Each time we sin, Jesus forgives us if we are sorry. We are renewed each day by God's love. The cross of Jesus is a re-minder to us of God's great love. Prayer Jesus, you died for me to be forgiven. Thank you. Something to Draw Draw Jesus talking with his disciples. Mission for the Week I will pray and do something good for my least favorite person today.
