PASTOR’S PAGE
Fourth Sunday of Easter
This Fourth Sunday of Easter is also
popularly referred to as “Good Shepherd Sunday” because of the shepherd imagery from
St. John’s Gospel which is found in the Gospel reading on this Sunday every year. Hearing the
Shepherd’s voice, followers recognize it and know it is their God. Safe in the knowledge that they cannot be taken from the hand of the
Shepherd, we who hear His voice should follow as faithful believers who are willing to go
wherever God calls and sends us.
The imagery of following the Shepherd is
also found in the Mass prayers for the day. The Collect (Opening Prayer) refers to us as “the
humble flock” who ask to “reach where the brave
Shepherd has gone before.” The Prayer after
Communion continues the Shepherd imagery as it mentions the “eternal pastures” which we, the
sheep who have been redeemed, hope to settle
in. What do you imagine those “eternal pastures” to be like?
In addition to the Shepherd imagery, another element of this Fourth Sunday of Easter
is the continued expression of Easter joy. In the Prayer over the Offerings, we ask “that we may
always find delight in these paschal mysteries,” and
the prayer goes on to ask “that the renewal constantly at work within us may be the cause of our
unending joy.” We must continue to keep alive
throughout the entire fifty days of Easter Time
our exultant joy and ecstatic cries of “Alleluia!” at the redemption and salvation won for us through the death and resurrection of Christ.
Continue to allow your reflections on the
actual texts of the Mass to enrich your
immersion in the spirituality of the fifty days of Easter Time.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Blessings and best wishes to all mothers
celebrating Mother’s Day today! May God bless you for the many sacrifices and offerings you
make for your children and your family. We should be grateful to you not just on one day,
but all year long, for the important role you play. Let’s also keep in our prayers today those who
might find Mother’s Day to be a difficult day for
them ― mothers who have lost children; children who have lost their mothers; women
who are having difficulty becoming mothers; mothers and children who are estranged from
one another; mothers whose children are ill and suffering.
First Holy Communions continue!
We continue to be in the midst of “First
Communion Season” at OLPH! Yesterday, Saturday, May 11, we celebrated the second and
last of our Saturday morning First Communion
Masses, and our First Communions taking place
at Sunday parish Masses continue this weekend and next. Keep these First Communicants and their families in your prayers. May God bless all
our First Communicants, and may their parents instill in them the understanding and acceptance
of the importance of participating in Mass each and every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation.
Combined Pastoral Staff/Pastoral Council Meeting
It has been my custom that once every year we hold a combined meeting of the Pastoral Staff and the Pastoral Council; the format of the
meeting is that we pray Evening Prayer, then have a festive dinner together, and then have the
meeting itself. I always place a high value and a great deal of importance on this annual meeting
with these two leadership and advisory boards of the parish. Aside from the value of having the members of the two groups interact and get to
know each other a little better, these meetings have always provided important input for me,
and even specific recommendations and plans of
action, concerning the direction of the parish for
the upcoming year and beyond. This year’s meeting will take place this coming Tuesday, May 14, and I’m sure that once again it will be
valuable time spent together which will bear good fruit for the ministerial life of the parish.
Please offer a prayer for the guidance of the Holy Spirit as the Pastoral Staff and Pastoral
Council meet together this Tuesday evening. Taizé Prayer Around the Cross
On Thursday of this week, May 16, we will once again have the opportunity to join
together for Taizé Prayer Around the Cross; you
May 12, 2019
Page 4
have seen the ad for it running in the bulletin. It is always a beautiful evening of relaxed,
meditative prayer using simple chants as the main focus for the prayer. The service includes
the opportunity for veneration of the cross. If you have participated in the past, you know how
wonderful the experience is; I myself look forward to having the opportunity to create a little bit of quiet time for that hour. Join us on
Thursday night. My thanks go to Chris Ferraro, the members of the Liturgy Committee and the
choir members who pull together the details for, and who minister at, Taizé Prayer for us twice a
year; they offer a great opportunity for prayer to
the parish through their ministry and service.
Parish Wedding Anniversaries Mass this Friday,
May 17
This coming Friday night, May 17, is our wonderful celebration of wedding anniversaries
for couples celebrating an anniversary “on the fives” (married 5, 10, 15 years, etc.) and every
year 50 and above. Congratulations to all of you! We need you to live your Sacrament of Matrimony well, as you build up the life of the
Church through your witness to Christ in your marriage, and so we want to support you in that,
affirm you, and join with you in prayer. Plus, it’s a great excuse for a really fun party!
Technically, the deadline date to send in your response was last Friday, May 10, but if you have the response form and forgot to send it
in, we might be able to slip you in if you get it to us first thing on Monday morning…so get
moving on it!
Next set of memorialized bricks is being sent out
Our current set of memorialized bricks is
now being prepared to be sent out for engraving; those who ordered a brick are being contacted concerning the final details of their
memorialization, and they will be kept informed concerning the installation and blessing of the
bricks, which will, I hope, take place toward the end of the summer.
However, this does not mean there are no
more bricks available; just the opposite! There
are still plenty of bricks available for
memorialization! Our brick memorialization
program is ongoing. We will accumulate the
next batch and, when we have accumulated
enough, we will send those out, as a group, for engraving and installation. So, even if you
missed out this time around, send in your order! This on-going fund raiser is a big help to us, so
your continued support is appreciated.
By the way, just because the brick is in
the “Let the Children Come to Me” Prayer
Garden, the memorialization does not have to
be for children only! The memorialization can
be for any memory or prayer intention. Also,
help us out by spreading the word to your family
and friends, and encourage them to memorialize a brick. You don’t have to be a parishioner of
OLPH (or even Catholic!) to do this. You may
even want to do more than one brick; I myself have memorialized several!
Welcome Ambassadors Ministry has launched!
You may recall that a few weeks ago I wrote about a new ministry starting up here at
OLPH, our Welcome Ambassadors Ministry. Well, I’m thrilled to say that it has officially launched, and is underway!
From this point forward, whenever a person or a family registers with us as new
parishioners, they will receive a follow-up visit from one of our Welcome Ambassadors after the
first meeting with one of the priests. The Welcome Ambassador will meet with the new parishioners to provide another warm and
friendly welcome, and to further introduce them to the parish. The new parishioners will be given
a “goody bag” with the parish name and logo on it, containing various items to help them become
familiar with the parish ― things such as a bulletin, a Ministry Directory, a sheet that gives a ritual to use to bless their home, an icon of Our
Lady of Perpetual Help, and an information sheet describing our social media presence and
all the ways they can stay connected to the parish. We hope to convey a sense of warmth
and welcome about the parish by showing new parishioners we care enough to take the time and effort to make a personal and friendly contact.
After all, we are “the place to be,” right? This project was adopted by our Family
Life Ministry, and I am very grateful to those members of the Family Life Ministry who have
offered to take on this important endeavor. You have done a great job, and know that this is a valuable addition to the life of the parish!
May 12, 2019

May 12, 2019
We should all remember, though, that this job of creating a warm and welcoming parish is
a responsibility that includes not just our “official” Welcome Ambassadors. As one family
in Christ, each and every one of us should consider it our duty and responsibility to be
welcoming of others and to create a warm, friendly, open and hospitable atmosphere in our parish ― which, I believe, we have done. The
fact is we are a huge parish; we all should see it as our job to be welcoming. Can you think back
to when you were new here? Remember that it can be intimidating for someone when they are
new, perhaps especially here at OLPH; we’re a huge church and a large assembly gathered to worship. Do we say hello to people? Do we help
it to feel less intimidating for others? Do we search out new people, that is, go up to someone
if they look like they’re unfamiliar with the parish? Do we take the risk to reach out to
others? We should all consider it our common responsibility to step up and take the initiative to
greet others and be warm and welcoming to others, especially if they appear to be a
“newbie.” Thank you for doing that!
A word about some maintenance projects and our
buildings
All you homeowners out there know that when you own a house, the jobs never end; “there’s always something,” right? It’s the same
when it comes to the parish; the upkeep of our facilities and the need to attend to our buildings
and grounds is never-ending. While attending to this “business side” of the parish is not one of
my favorite things to do as Pastor, I fully accept the responsibility I have to be responsible for the
good stewardship and maintenance of our
buildings and grounds. I am fortunate to have the support, advice, assistance and good work of
Mr. Frank Pokorney, Business Manager, and our Maintenance Department in this area; they
do a great job, and they really have a huge dedication to this aspect of parish life. I am grateful to them.
There are a number of projects that have been occupying or will be occupying our time
and attention, some large and noticeable, some smaller and less noticeable, but no less
important. Recent jobs have included replacing
the floor in the St. Vincent de Paul office; attending to replacing some aluminum trim on
the exterior of the church; repair of exterior metal stairs for the church; and attending to the
church lighting and the lighting panel in the sacristy (the panel is quite old). Also, a heating/
air conditioning condenser has to be replaced for the rectory. Of course, there is the whole question of the convent which continually needs
to be addressed, and the need to keep that in proper condition so we can continue to pursue
rental opportunities. All these projects require money, of course, and so your ongoing
commitment to supporting the parish financially is absolutely crucial. Please maintain your weekly envelope offerings. I will continue to
keep you apprised of situations as they arrive and as, in the months ahead, we pull together
some larger plans and directions concerning the maintenance and upkeep of our buildings and
grounds. More to come on this topic. “Building a Safer Church”—A special magazine
Lastly, let me announce to you that the diocese has released a special 20-page magazine
titled Building a Safer Church ― A Look at How the Diocese of Rockville Centre is Working to Ensure a
Safe Environment. It is intended to be a useful
source of information on how parents and caregivers can keep children safe, and it lays out
in detail everything the diocese is doing to help ensure a safe environment for everyone. We
have made copies of this magazine available on the pew ledges in the church; there may still be
some available. The document is also available in an e-version on-line; look for our announcement of it elsewhere in this bulletin.
In conclusion…
Together, let’s aim high in Christ. Together, let’s bring out the best in each other.
Together, let’s be the best we can be in Christ. And let’s always remember: LOVE IS A GIFT.
Sincerely,

Around
the Cross
Thursday, May 16 7:3o p.m. in church
Join us for a candlelight prayer service to help us reflect on the mystery of the Cross and the
glory of Christ’s resurrection. Consider setting aside one hour to join in this beautiful and contemplative form of prayer.
OUR GOD-GIVEN STRENGTHS
Here at OLPH we participate in the Clifton Strengths Finder Program, to help us discover our God-given strengths. Once we know them, we can better understand how God is calling us to use these strengths to serve Him and others. All the Pastoral Staff members and over 175 parishioners have already taken the survey and discovered
their strengths. What about you? Have you taken advantage of this parish program to deepen you relationship with God? In the weeks to come we will be presenting testimonials from each of the members of the Pastoral Staff who will
share how they use their gifts in service to the parish. This week, Deacon Robert shares with us his strengths and
how he uses them in ministry.
God reaches out to me especially through my strengths of learner and intellection. When I read
Scripture, my mind dwells on the words and ideas, drawing me deeper into the Word of God.
These strengths supported my growth when I served OLPH in the Lector Ministry. My strength of
input leads me to collect ideas which, in turn, feed my desire to learn more. Input has drawn me to
share my knowledge with others through the Ministry of Catechist. Some of these ideas work
their way into my daily life through my strength of ideation and become activities, such as the
newly-formed Bereavement Ministry, which I bring to the parish through the strength of my
restorative talents, skills and knowledge. My restorative strength first drew me to serve OLPH in
the Saint Vincent de Paul Society. I firmly believe that learning about my God-given, unique
strengths has led me more efficiently and more effectively to a deeper relationship with the God who made me, and toward the ministries that enable me to do his work on Earth.
Look for more about the Strengths Finder in the coming weeks, and be sure to join in on this wonderful parish endeavor if you have not already done so!

Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Each Monday, parishioners pray to seek the help and assistance of the Lord for healing, family, children and the needs of the world, seeking the intercession of the Blessed Mother. Following the Novena prayers, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament takes place. The evening concludes with veneration of a relic of St. Catherine Laboure. Take some time each Monday to join in the OLPH Novena.
Monday, May 13—7:00 p.m.
Monday, May 20—7:00 p.m.
Monday, May 27—No devotions
due to the Memorial Day holiday
We are in need of one or two people to help
with the laundering and ironing of the Mass
linens. We need a parishioner willing to make a once a week commitment to pick up,
launder, iron and drop off these linens. Would you consider serving your parish in this way?
The schedule is flexible and it is not a very time consuming ministry but it is of great value to the parish. If
you think you can help please contact Mary Ellen Barrett by
phone (631) 252-3852 or email [email protected] for
more information.
OFFERERS NEEDED
Next Sunday, May 19, at the 12:00 p.m. Mass, our Candidate for Full Communion will be formally received into the Catholic
Church. For the past year, Heidi Segelky-Resky has been in a process
of formation in the Catholic tradition and is now ready to be received into the Catholic Church. Already baptized in another Christian
tradition, she will make her Profession of Faith and be received into
the Catholic Church, and then receive Confirmation and First Communion. Why not join us for this Mass, even if you usually
don’t attend Mass at that particular time? It would be a great way to extend a great
OLPH welcome to this Candidate who is joining our Church! Please remember to keep
Heidi in your prayers in the week ahead.
RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS
NEW CATHOLICS WANTED and NEEDED!
What about you?
Do you want to be baptized? Are you a Catholic but have not yet made your First Holy
Communion or Confirmation? Are you already baptized in another Christian church and want to become Catholic? Not sure? YOU ARE NOT ALONE! A new RCIA group is forming now.
The Rite of Christian Initiation is a beautiful and life-giving process to join the Catholic Church. You will join with other women and men interested in becoming part of the Catholic faith. Together, led by
members of our parish community, you will discover God’s call for you! We are looking to form the next group of those interested in joining the Catholic Church. If you think you, or someone you know,
would like to be part of our group, or would just like more information about the process, we would love to hear from you! For more information about the adult process, contact Jeffrey Gaab at (631) 965-
0076 or e-mail at [email protected]. For information about becoming part of our children’s process, contact Mrs. April Kleinlaut at 631-226-7725 X 253 or at [email protected]

SACRAMENT OF THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK at the
12:00 Noon Mass
SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 2019
We’ll be celebrating the
Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick
during the 12:00 Noon Mass
on Sunday, June 2.
Anyone in need of being anointed
is invited to participate in the Mass
and to receive the Sacrament when it is offered.
We have also invited our parishioners
who are homebound and who receive Holy Communion at home.
This Sacrament brings the blessings of God’s comfort, peace and grace, offering
strength and the assurance that one is facing the illness in union with Christ.
Who should be anointed?
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is for baptized Christians whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age.
It should be celebrated at the beginning of the illness or during the illness
and should not be delayed. So, the condition should be more serious than just a cold or some normal illness,
but the old thinking about waiting until one is near death
is no longer proper for this Sacrament, either. Also, it is appropriate to be anointed before undergoing any kind of surgery,
or when one has received a diagnosis and will be undergoing a course of treatment for
something significant.
Please let us know ahead of time
if you would like to be anointed at that Mass! Please notify us in advance so we can make adequate preparations:
Call the rectory at (631) 226-7725 and leave word.
“Through this holy anointing
may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit.”
―Rite of Anointing of the Sick

European Churches: Vandalized, Defecated On
and Torched "Every Day"
The April 15 Notre Dame Cathedral fire in Paris is only the latest in a
series of heavily-damaged churches throughout France and Europe. The
incident brings attention to an alarming increase of devastation at other French
churches. Although, in less than 24 hours, it was reported that this fire was an accident and not
caused by arson, "Every day, at least two churches are profaned," said a French lawmaker
reporting on 1,063 churches or symbols (crucifixes, icons, statues), and the Eucharist, that were
desecrated in 2018 alone. In 2019, these attacks have risen 25%. Paris' second largest church, St.
Sulpice, burst into flames on March 17, and police report this had "not been an accident."
Similar reports are coming from Germany. "In this country, there is a creeping war
against everything that symbolizes Christianity: attacks on mountain-summit crosses, on sacred
statues by the wayside, on churches...and recently also on cemeteries," wrote PI-News.

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me." (Psalm 23:4)

Preparándonos para el Domingo 19 de Abril del 2019 Lea en su biblia estas Escrituras y luego lea las reflexiones.
Un mandamiento nuevo les doy dice el Señor; que se amen unos a otros como yo los e amado
Dios vive en medio de su pueblo.
Planta su tienda entre nosotros en su Hijo Jesucristo.
Que éste sea nuestro Emanuel, nuestro “Dios-con-nosotros”,
y que esté siempre con ustedes
Primera lectura (Hechos de los Apóstoles 14: 21-27/54)
Dios Había Hecho Grandes Cosas con Ellos.
Pablo y Bernabé habían sufrido y se habían esforzado mucho para fundar nuevas comunidades cristianas y para animar a los
fieles. Sin embargo, reconocían que fue Dios quien hizo todo ese buen trabajo por medio de ellos
Segunda lectura (Revelación 21:1-5a)
Desde que Jesús resucitó, un mundo nuevo ha comenzado a tomar forma entre los hombres, la de la presencia de Dios entre
nosotros por medio del mismo Cristo Resucitado. Juan nos proporciona una visión esperanzada de este nuevo mundo.
Lectura del Sato Evangelio según (San Juan 13:31-33ª, 34-35)
La traición de Judas hace pensar en la impotencia de Dios frente al hombre: y lo irreparable del mal ¡el bien pierde frente al
mal! Pero Juan nos hace ver que la luz vence las tinieblas. El amor de Dios es la única fuerza que rescata al hombre de la
muerte eterna, por eso, en la Última Cena, Jesús da a sus discípulos el mandamiento del amor como su última voluntad, su
testamento. Este amor es la clave para un mundo nuevo. Que los cristianos seamos reconocidos por medio del amor mutuo,
como lo fueron las primeras comunidades.
Si les pidieran a ustedes definir lo más típico y característico de nuestra comunidad cristiana, ¿podría decirse de nosotros,
como de los primeros cristianos, “Miren cómo se aman unos a otros”? De acuerdo con nuestro Señor mismo, la señal carac-
terística de sus discípulos debería ser que nos amamos unos a otros como él nos ha amado. --- Reunidos como estamos aquí
para el banquete eucarístico del Señor, banquete de amor, pidámosle que nos ayude a amarnos unos a otros como él nos
amó.
Estas palabras, pronunciadas durante la última Cena, resumen todo el mensaje de Jesús; es más, resumen todo lo que Él ha
hecho: Jesús ha dado la vida por sus amigos. Amigos que no lo habían comprendido, que en el momento crucial lo han
abandonado, traicionado y renegado. Esto nos dice que Él nos ama aun no siendo merecedores de su amor: ¡así nos ama
Jesús!
De este modo, Jesús nos muestra el camino para seguirlo, el camino del amor. Su mandamiento no es un simple precepto,
que permanece siempre como algo abstracto o exterior a la vida. El mandamiento de Cristo es nuevo, porque Él, en primer
lugar, lo ha realizado, le ha dado carne, y así la ley del amor es escrita una vez para siempre en el corazón del hombre (Cfr.
Jer 31,33). ¿Y cómo está escrita? Está escrita con el fuego del Espíritu Santo. Y con este mismo Espíritu, que Jesús nos da,
¡podemos caminar también nosotros por este camino!
Es un camino concreto, un camino que nos conduce a salir de nosotros mismo para ir hacia los demás. Jesús nos ha mostra-
do que el amor de Dios se realiza en el amor al prójimo. Ambos van juntos. Las páginas del Evangelio están llenas de este
amor: adultos y niños, cultos e ignorantes, ricos y pobres, justos y pecadores han tenido acogida en el corazón de Cristo.

PREPARING FOR
Sunday, May 19, 2019
FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Jesus said, “I give you a new commandment: love one another.
As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.” John13:34
Acts of the Apostles 14:21-27 The first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas (46 – 49 A.D.) carried them from Antioch in Syria to several cities in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey) from which they were forcefully ejected, including a second city named Antioch. They then retraced their steps through these cities to appoint leaders and to encourage the
new disciples to persevere in the faith, saying, “It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.” When they finally returned to the Syrian Antioch from which they had initially been commissioned, they gathered the whole community together to tell of the wondrous things God had accomplished through them, opening the door of faith to the Gentiles (non-Jews). Perseverance and as well as wonder at God’s works are key for us as disciples even today.
Revelation 21:1-5a People of faith have the ability to see beyond what is right in front of them. Persevering through difficult times is worth the glory that awaits us as God creates something new. The old ways will pass
away and all will be as new and as beautiful as a bride on her wedding day. There will be no more tears, death or mourning. How wondrous it will be for us on that day when we hear God say, “Behold, I make all things new.”
John 13:31-33a, 34-35 We hear Jesus speak at the Last Supper of his coming glorification, a truly wondrous work indeed, especially as it comes at the cost of the Crucifixion. And in the next breath Jesus tells us that we must love one another as he has done if we are to be known as his disciples. By imitating his love for us with each other, we can share in his coming glory when all things are made new.

Gospel Reflection Questions…. After reading next Sunday’s readings and
Gospel, take some time to pray on them
before you come to Mass. Use the questions
below to aid your reflection.
1. Did Jesus give us edicts, rubrics or
canons? What one rule did he give us over and over? What teaching of the Church do you think will bring all people to Christ? Give—or by how much they love others? Or both? Does God love the world through us if we let it happen?
2. “As I have loved you, so should you love one another.” According to Pope Francis, how do we pass this gift of divine love on to one another?
• God is the first to love:
God is like that: he is always first. He’s the first to wait for us, the first to love us, the first to help us. • God's love is limitless: “the inscrutable riches of Christ.” “bottomless sea without shores… ” • God is a great teacher: by loving His people, teaching them to walk, taking them in His arms, caring for them. • Greatness expressed in l i t t l e n e s s : carrying on God’s own work in
your own small way: that is feeding the hungry, quenching the thirsty, visiting the sick and the prisoner. • Not words about love, but c o n c r e t e g e s t u r e s : we do not need great discourse on love, but men and women “who know how to do these little things for Jesus, for the Father.” Our works of mercy are the continuity of this love.
