The Church in Need
This weekend a collection will be taken for “The Church in Need.” The monies collected at this time will be shared among three areas of the world where there is particular need for help:
Church in Central and Eastern Europe - the Collection provides support for basic pastoral programs and makes scholarships available for students studying to serve their local church. These students become vital partici-pants in the renewal of the Church in the region.
The Church in Latin America faces many difficult chal-lenges. Natural disasters in many areas caused lasting damage to the Church, while a significant loss of parish-ioners to migration and to other faiths, the inability to support itself financially, and a lack of priests and reli-gious to help effectively minister to the large number of Catholics continue to trouble the region.
The Church in Africa – the funds will go to assisting African countries where poverty, sickness and political strife prevent people from living in dignity.
Thank you for your generosity.
Thought for the Week
As we begin the Lenten journey, we all want to come closer to Jesus. None of us are perfect, but we know that
there is a yearning for God in each of our lives. Let’s make it part of our Lenten journey to pray for all those who don’t
believe, for whatever the reason. We do this, not in a judgmental way, but in a loving way, because we want them to
know the loving God we know.
Some people are angry because they think that Jesus wasn’t there for them at some time in their lives.
Some are complacent—they are comfortable in their lives. Everything is ok.
Some offer “logical/scientific” arguments about the existence of God.
Whatever the reason is for not believing, let’s pray that all will come to believe!
The Eucharist
“(Saint) Pope John Paul II says that God is a Father who is ‘always waiting for us to have recourse to Him in
every need.’ Not just big needs, but every need, from gaping wounds to the little scratches that just need a band aid, or a
loving parent to kiss a boo-boo.” (21 Ways to Worship, by Vinny Flynn)
We can come to Jesus at any time—in Eucharistic Adoration, as we receive Him at Communion time, or in our
private “chats” with Him. We should never underestimate the power of His desire to be an intimate part of our lives.
Respect Life
Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14)
Let’s pray that all little ones in the womb be given the chance to come to know Jesus.
Words from Pope Francis
“...the Church ...offers us in the Lenten season the soothing remedy of prayer, almsgiving, and fasting.
...By devoting more time to prayer, we enable our hearts to root out our secret lies and forms of self-deception,
and then to find the consolation God offers.
...Almsgiving sets us free from greed, and helps us to regard our neighbor as a brother or sister.
...Fasting allows us to experience what the destitute and the starving have to endure.
(Message of the Holy Father Francis for Lent 2018)
A Scripture to Ponder
“It is the LORD who marches before you;
he will be with you and will never forsake you.
So do not fear or be dismayed.”
( Deuteronomy: 31:8)

ACTS
Adults Coming Together to Share
Jesus gave us two commandments: Love Him, and love each other. The only way we can learn to love each
other is to get to know each other. The only way we can do this is to spend time with each other. We do this when we
come together in small faith-sharing groups. This is what our ACTS groups are all about. If you would like to partici-
pate in this aspect of our parish life, please call the rectory and leave your name and phone number
Haiti Donations
There is a constant need for shoes for our brothers and sisters in Haiti. If you have any shoes that you would like to
donate, there is a box in the kitchen. Our parishioner who goes there several times a year to help out says that their
biggest request is for shoes. Thank you for your faithful contributions to this ministry of love.
There is a box in the kitchen for any of your loving donations.
Blessings on each of your cute little hearts!!
Faithfulness
( the seventh fruit of the Spirit)
“to be trusted; reliable; to be counted on at all times”
Jesus conveys His faithfulness in these words:
“ And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

This will take place at Christ Baptist Church in Coram (12 Windsor Court in Coram). Come and join us for this special event!
Gus Alfieri, the legendary St. Anthony’s coach and biographer of coach Joe Lapchick, invited me last October to give the invocation for the Joe Lapchick “Character Award” luncheon in Manhattan.
When I arrived, he also asked me to give some remarks. It was a great opportunity for a former lowly Princeton junior varsity point guard turned Catholic bishop to address New York basketball royalty.
As I thought through my remarks, I immediately went to my CYO basketball coach, Joe Gallick, at St. Augustine’s Parish in Larchmont, N.Y. Joe coached us when we were in seventh and eighth grade (1972-1974).
Joe had been a 6’4” forward for Iona in the early 1970s. He looked like and admired New York Knick Phil Jackson. Joe sensed something great in the character and spirit of Phil Jackson, a marginal but hustling player who turned into a Hall of Fame NBA coach.
Joe was a lot like Phil, both as a hustling marginal player at Iona — he averaged 3.8 points and 4.5 rebounds a game for the Iona Gaels in his senior year (1971-72) — and a collaborative and intuitive coach who asked our input as seventh-and eighth-graders about what was actually happening on the floor and how we should react and press forward aggressively.
Joe was my basketball mentor. He taught all of his players a love for basketball, the
fundamentals and the history of the game. Joe patiently melded together some very spirited personalities with different kinds of games and talent.
In my remarks at the Lapchick luncheon, I decided to focus on how Joe Gallick taught us the full court press of renowned UCLA coach John Wooden. Our team was fast, quick, smart and clever.
A full court press takes heart, stamina, perseverance and tenacity. It was Joe’s character, support and kindness that made us want, even as seventh-and eighth-grade boys prone to distraction, to focus and go all out even when we were tired.
I found myself at the Lapchick luncheon connecting the character, heart and tenacity we learned from Joe Gallick with my life as a bishop, a successor of the apostles, asking the Holy Spirit to lead me in being the point guard of the Catholic
It was Joe’s character, support and kindness that made us want, even as seventh- and eighth-grade boys prone to distraction, to focus and go all out even when we were tired.”

A TRIBUTE TO MY CYO BASKETBALL COACH JOE GALLICK — AND TO ALL CYO COACHES ON LONG ISLAND
YOUR COMMUNITYHOLINESS AND MISSION
Church on Long Island on a full court press for dramatic missionary growth in our parishes.
There was a deep connection between coach Joe Gallick introducing us to the Wooden press — breaking it down and practicing it with us until it became a part of us — and my daily life as a Catholic bishop. In a mysterious and beautiful way, this experience, with many others in my life, prepared me for a relentless, non-stop, New Evangelization full-court press as a parish priest and as a bishop.
So I would like to thank coach Joe Gallick — RIP — as well as all the CYO coaches on Long Island and around the country for all the life and faith lessons you have taught so many of us.
Thank you, CYO coaches of Long Island, for:
1 Modelling for our players and their families the
connection between the Catholic Mass, vibrant Catholic parish life and community and the parish gym. Your fidelity and that of your family to the Sunday Mass is a great inspiration and critical foundation to the team play and chemistry you teach us.
Never underestimate the witness you give when your players and their families, along with the entire parish, see you consistently and faithfully at the Sunday Mass. It sets a tone. It is “salt and light” to parish life, unity and mission. It is what I expect as your bishop and the point guard of the mission of the Catholic Church on Long Island.
2 Thank you for the character lessons you
teach us in both victory and defeat. Our experiences of defeat are especially valuable since we learn how to bounce back and address positively and constructively the defeats of life.
3 Thank you for the way you model a respect for the dignity of the individual in your sportsmanship
and classy treatment of opposing team coaches and players, referees and the crowds at games. You teach us how to compete with class, character, mature self-possession and charity.
4 Thank you for the way you model sacrifice for the team, radical unselfishness and team chemistry,
unity and spirit. We will take this with us in our educational experiences, career and vocational paths and our future marriages and families. You also teach us the responsibility we have toward the younger children who come to our games and look up to us.
5 Thank you for your halftime talks and game
plan adjustments. You model for us how to recognize problems and issues quickly both in games and in life and how to recognize and address these problems and challenges proactively and effectively. We carry this into every dimension of our lives.
6 Thank you for the friendships between
families that are part of the CYO experience and how families support each other in the practice of the Catholic faith through these friendships.
7 Thank you, too, for the service projects
you connect us to and the opportunity to serve the poor you provide us.
Thank you CYO Coaches and Players of Long Island — together, with the Body and Blood of Christ at the center of our lives and our families, let’s take it to the next level!
