Pastor’s Letter
October 5/6
Ministries Move Ahead
Dear Parish Family,
It is now well over a year since I began my ministry here as your pastor. Last fall I ran a page
each week in our bulletin to ask for ideas about the future of SHJM. The responses I received all spoke
of the need for more ministries and more activities to serve our parish family. This year I am happy to
report much progress.
Most people think the most difficult thing a pastor needs to do is to ask for money. I would say
that while asking for financial generosity might be the most uncomfortable part of leadership, the
hardest part is actually asking for the gifts of time and talent. These most personal gifts, especially the
gift of time, are very hard to give, especially considering the busyness of modern life. I find that
people tend to be very humble about their talents and so it is often necessary to uncover and nourish
the gifts that are present in a community.
Our parish has been blessed and enriched by the gifts of time and talent that have been shared.
Events like of our summer concert series and our tent party show that the community life of our parish
is very much alive. We now have a very active ministry of consolation and a new ministry of
hospitality for our weddings. Our music ministry is opening opportunities for more and more young
people; our new women’s ensemble promises to be a special blessing.
While all ministries make important contributions to the life of a parish, there is one ministry
that seemed to be especially important for us to develop at this time — our youth ministry. This past
Tuesday, a group of young people met to establish a youth council to plan events that will shape our
youth ministry. Soon a myriad of events geared toward the social and spiritual needs of our young
people will be publicized in our bulletin, on Facebook, and in notices to our schools.
Why is this so especially important? Because young people are important. Many times you
will hear people say something like “our young people are the future of our church.” What I would
like our parish to say to the young is: “You are the church! You are here right now!”
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Michael A. Vetrano
A Note from Religious Education Director:

Religious Education
We are off to a fantastic start in Religious
Education classes; the students continue to enter
the class rooms with big smiles and open minds!
The teachers are eagerly planning and getting to
know the students, it is a wonderful time of year!
As we watch our students blossom and grow here in religious education, we
can encourage faith formation at home with prayerful food for thought. The
Holy Spirit has been sent to guide us on our journey to help us in our daily
lives, have you ever been surprised when you intuitively knew how to handle
a tough situation with your family? That’s wisdom. Have you felt aweperhaps the first time you held your child in your arms? That’s fear of the
Lord. The Holy Spirit is with us always.
Welcome:
The Basilica Parish of Sacred Hearts of Jesus & Mary welcomes the following newly
baptized children with joy:

Abrimos el Corazón a Dios - Cuando, por medio de la
oración, abrimos el corazón a Dios, podemos escuchar
su voz y ofrecerle la respuesta que Él quiere, una
respuesta llena de fe y de obras que expresan nuestra
fe. El problema que afrontamos con frecuencia es que
dejamos a un lado la voz de Dios y escogemos otras
voces, otros ruidos, en su lugar. En la Iglesia, durante
nuestras celebraciones, debemos escuchar la voz del
Señor, quien nos habla por medio de la palabra
proclamada y compartida, por medio de los textos que
se expresan en los cantos de la liturgia, incluso por
aquellos que nos rodean y necesitan de nosotros y por
aquellos que están lejos de nosotros y que piden
nuestra ayuda. El Señor nos habla a través de muchas
personas, gestos y celebraciones. ¿Nos atrevemos a
escucharlo y a responder con nuestra fe y con nuestras
obras? By Juan J. Sosa, Pbro., from Liturgia y Canción 2013 © 2012, OCP. All rights reserved

APOSTOLADO HISPANO
Aumentemos Nuestra Fe - Hoy la fe, la fidelidad y el
servicio están entrelazados. Esas tres cosas son parte de
la alianza que Dios hizo con la humanidad. Lo más
natural es hacer lo que tenemos que hacer: ser testigos
del Señor y depender del poder de Dios. Pero lo
extraordinario es que Dios dependa de nosotros para
continuar su obra mesiánica, soportándolo todo por la
proclamación de la Buena Nueva, en la fe y el amor
que encontramos en Jesucristo. Tenemos que
proclamar algo muy precioso: el Espíritu Santo vive en
nosotros y desde allí hace obras. Texto: Philip J. Sandstrom, STD ©

Dios.

Lord, I believe you will help me.

Sharing the Gospel
God wants you to have faith and
trust him completely. Jesus said, "If
your faith is as small as a mustard
seed, you can tell a tree to grow in
the ocean, and it will." A mustard
seed is smaller than a freckle. You
trust your school bus will go to your
school. You have faith that clowns
will make you laugh. You just need a
little bit of faith and God will be
there for you.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of a clown making
people laugh.
Mission for the Week
I will remind others that God will
help them.
