Pastor’s Letter On Paying Attention July 6/7 Dear Parish Family, Except for the traffic, it was really wonderful to have the Women’s Open right here in our own backyard. It had been a few years since I was at a professional golf event and as I walked around the course I was impressed with the quiet. Golf is a very attentive and respectful sport. The fans talk in hushed tones and are absolutely quiet when a player is making a shot. A golf tournament is probably the only place in the world where you do not hear a cell phone go off every two minutes! It is so different from every other sport where the fans loudly cheer the competitors on every play. In a way, it is very refreshing. Being focused and paying quiet attention like that is difficult. I am not talking about golf now. In the book Blue Highways, which is written about a cross country trip taken on all back roads, author William Least Heat-Moon describes a moment when he stops by a spring under a grove of sycamore trees. He writes: “Sitting full in the moment, I practiced on the god-awful difficulty of just paying attention. It’s a contention of my father’s—believing as he does that anyone who misses the journey misses about all he’s going to get—that people become what they pay attention to. Our observations and curiosity, they make and remake us.” Our faith and our spiritual journey depend on attention. Even our relationships require attention. Imagine trying to be a friend, spouse, parent, or companion if we never step back from the noise and busyness of life to give others the wonderful gift of our undivided attention. We, too, can block the attention of another by being too busy and distracted to receive it. There is no question in my mind that the greatest gift we have to give to another is our attention. And I have often thought that prayer is not so much something we do for God as it is stopping long enough to receive the attention that God is always giving to us. That’s why just about every spiritual writer tells us that prayer begins with being quiet, emptying our mind for even a few moments of the compulsive concerns that drive the rest of life. As the Psalmist writes: Be still and know that I am God (Psalm 46). Paying attention is a constant battle. In our modern world the motto seems to be that the good person is the busy person. We feel guilty about having a moment in which there is nothing to do, nowhere to go, no work to accomplish. It takes some planning and effort to find a way to stop for a minute and pay attention to our lives, to each other, and to our God. In a way, church is like that golf course! It is here that we invite you to be quiet for a moment, to turn off that cell phone, to to be attentive to the things most important. Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Michael A. Vetrano Pastor Summer Music Festival Contemporary Christian Rock Music with Annmarie Buonaspina and Friends. This will be Pizza night sponsored by our friends at La Parmigiana. Bring along something to drink, something to share, and of course your beach chair or blanket. All events are rain or shine and will be held in the school hall if the skies do not smile on us.

Education 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. 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. Religion and the Great Question: When does life begin? Over the centuries, but very poignantly in the last few decades, scientists and theologians have challenged each other’s understanding of when exactly life begins. How this question is considered and answered has far reaching consequences for many modern medical and moral issues. Discussions and Talks at the Basilica On Monday, July 22nd, Fr. Mike will speak on how this thinking has evolved in both scientific and religious communities. Please join us. Miracles and the Apparitions of Mary Monday—July 8th at 7 PM Parishioner Bill Hattrick will present a talk on miracles and apparitions of Mary as a tangible and important source of faith. Included will be the apparitions at Lourdes, Fatima , Medjugorje. These revelations are an important part of the Lord’s promise to be always with his church. Angelus and Diving Mercy Chaplet with Msgr. Jim Vlaun Tuesday, July 30th Msgr. Jim Vlaun will be with us at noon to tape the praying of the Angelus and Divine Mercy Chaplet. These prayers as well as Sunday Mass are aired regularly on Telecare TV and bring the joy of our faith to many homebound Catholics across our nation. Parishioners with a devotion to Mary and to the Divine Mercy are invited to join Msgr. Jim that day. Please arrive early! World Apostolate of Fatima to bring the National Pilgrim Virgin Statue to the Basilica On Tuesday, July 16, the World Apostolate of Fatima, an organization that promotes faith in the apparitions and message of Fatima, will be coming to SHJM for morning mass at 8 AM followed by a talk and an opportunity to pray before a Statue of Our Lady of Fatima that has been presented in churches around the world.

Compartir la Cruz del Señor - El tema que explora la Palabra de hoy es básico para los cristianos: cada uno de nosotros, como discípulos de Jesús, es enviado a compartir la cruz del Señor como signo de sufrimiento y como instrumento de victoria y de resurrección. El mismo Señor que desvía los ríos hacia Jerusalén (primera lectura), cuida de cada uno de nosotros y nos fortalece cuando nos rechazan o no nos aceptan. En la Iglesia y a través de ella, descubrimos el cuidado de nuestro Dios por medio de nuestros hermanos y hermanas en la fe.

Requisitos para el Bautismo de un Niño Curso: Para bautizar a su hijo, es necesario que los padres y padrinos asistan al curso pre-bautismal. Traiga consigo el acto de nacimiento del niño. Padrinos: Debe escoger a los padrinos conscientes de los requisitos.

Permisos: Si viven afuera de la zona servida por el Apostolado Hispano, necesitan una carta de su párroco dándonos permiso para bautizar su hijo. Es el Ministerio de Dios - Jesús llama a sus discípulos a la humildad. Los que ejercemos algún ministerio caemos en una trampa cuando sentimos que, sin nosotros, todo ministerio dejaría de existir. No es nuestro ministerio, sino el ministerio de Dios, hecho por medio de nosotros. Es Dios, quien con sus obras formidables, produce una cosecha abundante.

They may give you bread and water. They may share fish, meats, fruits, and vegetables with you. Heal their sick." The apostles were given the power to heal others. Many scientists search for new medicines to cure diseases. When you pray for others, God hears your prayers. God's love and forgiveness can heal the body, mind, and soul of the sick. Prayer Lord, help me heal others with kind words. Something to Draw Draw yourself putting a Band-Aid on your brother or sister.
