family came home for Mass and
we remembered one
another with the
flowers that adorn
the Altar, with the candles that light
up the Sanctuary, with the bread
and wine that is offered, and of
course in the way par excellence, we
remembered one another in the
Priest’s Mass Intention that is
lifted up with the help of all of
our other remembrances!
Thank you for coming home and remembering
one another! Thank you for coming home and
remembering Him Who said:
“Do this in Memory of Me!

 A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR 
7 AUGUST 2016
What a gift it was to come home to 175 Woodcleft Avenue last
Wednesday night, and with the help of These Three Tenors,
discover what makes coming home what it’s all about! Anyone and
everyone in attendance at our second offering of this year’s Series,
including Our Holy Redeemer’s eighth Pastor Monsignor Richard
Figliozzi (Father Rick), Freeport Village Mayor Robert Kennedy, and
former Freeporter and Our Holy Redeemer parishioner Alice
Mugno, truly experienced an “enchanted evening”. We golfed at
Eisenhower Park. We sang at the Metropolitan Opera House. We
danced on Broadway. And we even pledged allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America: all at 175 Woodcleft Avenue!
What a gift coming home to the waterfront has been over the years. It is
very unlikely that in 1981, when Monsignor Saverio Mattei requested and
received permission from Bishop McGann (†) to offer a Boat Mass in
Freeport (literally aboard a boat donated by Mr. Joseph Scalamandre),
anyone could have envisioned what’s taking place on Grover’s Dock at 175
Woodcleft Avenue in 2016. Our Holy Redeemer not only continues to
offer Mass there on Sunday mornings in July and August at 10:00 A.M.,
but for the past three years, Our Holy Redeemer has sponsored a Summer
Concert Series on the Mile that is helping more and more people see why
coming home is what it’s all about.
The page next door provides information about the remaining
Wednesday night concerts in Our Holy Redeemer’s III Summer
Concert Series. This year’s 31 August finale will once again feature
the choirs from Our Holy Redeemer Roman Catholic Church and
the Greater Second Baptist Church where many of you were
recently welcomed with Fathers Alessandro and Carlos by the
church’s Pastor, our good friend, Reverend Eric Mallette, to pray
together for Peace. That Peace will be a major theme of our final
concert, and everyone in attendance will have the opportunity in
the words of Saint Francis of Assisi: to be an instrument of Peace!
Please join us.
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
Mercy Night
Monday, 15 August 2016
7:45 P.M. to 10:45 P.M.
Curé of Ars Roman Catholic Church
2323 Merrick Avenue, Merrick, New York 11566
(516) 623-1400
In this, The Year of Mercy, you are cordially invited to join us at St. John
Vianney, Curé of Ars Roman Catholic Church in Merrick for Mercy Night.
It will be a beautiful candlelit evening filled with adoration, contemplative
worship and Taize chant. Selected excerpts from the Diary of St. Faustina
will be read intermittently throughout the evening and the Sacrament of
Reconciliation will be available. Whether you are looking to deepen your
faith or even if you haven’t been to church in years, you are encouraged to
join us for an evening of quiet refuge and private prayer. Think of it as a
mini-retreat for the weary pilgrim.

FAITH AND EDUCATION
SCHOOL’S OUT DRIVE CAREFULLY (both on and off the road)
NEWS FROM THE DE LA SALLE SCHOOL
There are only three short weeks before the young men of The De La Salle School return to their
daily academic schedule. On Monday 29 August, students will return to school to begin their
studies for the 2016-2017 academic year. I know that they are all eager to get back to their
regular school routine.
Although on vacation, The De La Salle student is expected to keep up with his academic responsibilities and
studies. Summer reading has been assigned to each class and reports are due on the first day of school. Students
entering fifth grade are required to read two books and complete a book report for each book. Sixth grade
students will read three books; seventh grade four books and eighth grade will read five books.
We anticipate a very successful year with our new leadership team and look forward to the many blessings that
God has in store for the young men entrusted to our care. Please remember to keep all of us in your prayers.

If you have already made a pledge, thank you! If you have not yet made a pledge, please consider doing so today!
PLEDGE ENVELOPES ARE AVAILABLE IN THE RECTORY.
WHAT DO YOU DO . . .
. . .when inclement weather or sickness prevents you from attending Sunday Mass at Our
Holy Redeemer, or family/business obligations take you to Sunday Mass somewhere other
than Our Holy Redeemer? More than likely, if you use Parish Envelopes to make your
offering, you will place “Sunday-missed” envelopes in the Offertory basket the next time you attend Mass.
If you don’t use envelopes, it is more than likely that your Sunday-missed offering will remain missing,
which makes it very hard for Our Holy Redeemer to pay bills and provide services.
E-Giving, like Offertory Envelopes (thank you for using them) provides you with a way of exercising faithful
stewardship even when inclement weather or sickness prevents you from attending Sunday Mass at Our
Holy Redeemer, or when family/business obligations take you to Sunday Mass somewhere other than Our
Holy Redeemer.
I USE E-GIVING!
Question: What is E-Giving?
Answer:
E-Giving is short for electronic giving. It is an automatic transfer program
which allows you to make contributions without writing checks.
Question: What are the advantages of E-Giving?
Answer:
It saves time and work! It helps the church stabilize its budget. Surveys have
shown that it can enhance the total amount of gifts to your organization. Members
or supporters may donate while on vacation or on a business trip anywhere in the
world.
ENROLLING
Question: How do I enroll in E-Giving?
Answer:
On your computer, go to the Parish Web site, www.ohrfreeport.org and then
click on the “Donate” tab and then on “Donate Now” tab and then submit
our zip code, 11520, then click on “Donate Now” under the Our Holy
Redeemer name, then click on the “Register Now” tab and follow the simple
instructions.
PAYMENT METHODS
Question: If there is a credit card charge, how does the charge appear on the payee's statement? Is it
to E-Giving or Our Holy Redeemer? How would the person who makes a charge recognize
where the charge went from the description on their statement?
Answer:
The charge appears as E-Giving. E-Giving combined with the date and amount on their
statement should be all they need.
For more information about E-Giving visit the secure web site at www.e-giving.org.

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
When I was a child our School took us on a daytrip to a famous cave on the outside of the
city. Once we were in the middle of the cave, several hundred feet underneath the earth,
the lights went out and we found ourselves in total darkness. But there was no need to
panic, the tour guide and our teacher immediately turned on very strong flashlights and we
followed them closely back up the steps and to the light of day. They were prepared for the
emergency. We too need to be prepared for the Lord’s coming. Jesus says: “Blessed are
those servants whom the master finds vigilant on His arrival” (See Luke 12:32-48). Are you
ready? Are you vigilant? How can we prepare ourselves as the tour guide and my teacher
were? Saint Paul tells us that as we walk in darkness, our journey to our heavenly homeland
is illuminated by faith. Let us then continue to take care of our Precious Catholic Faith which
will light our way as we prepare for the Lord who will come again, perhaps in the midst of the night.

 MENSAJE DEL PASTOR 
7 DE AGOSTO DE 2016
ORE P OR LA PAZ
La Tercera Serie de nuestros Conciertos en la Milla comenzó hace dos semanas con la ayuda de Buda, es decir
de la Banda de Música Buda. ¡Por lo que me contaron, el Muelle de Grover en el 175 de la Avenida Woodcleft
resonó con el ritmo de la música y el baile de muchas personas de diferentes generaciones!
El Espíritu de Gratitud me impulsa a dar gracias a Dios por todos los que ayudaron a dar inicio a nuestra Serie
de Conciertos de este año: ¡Tanto los que hicieron donaciones financieras como los que donaron su tiempo y
talento para preparar el muelle, instalar el alumbrado, controlar el sonido, entusiasmar a los asistentes y
ofrecer una cordial bienvenida a todos encontraron la razón por la cual la gente viene a Nuestro Santo
Redentor! Todos ustedes ayudaron a preparar el escenario para esa noche y para las siguientes cinco noches.
El “Mensaje del Pastor” tiene que hacer mención especial
del Sr. Michael Crouse, El Director de Música de Nuestro
Santo Redentor, que coordinó la producción al tiempo
que lloraba la muerte de su madre, Margaret, la cual
falleció el 10 de Julio de 2016. Tal como Michael usó su
don músico para ayudar a su madre a dar su postrer
aliento, ese don músico ayudó a Michael a recuperar el
aliento en memoria de ella. Que Margaret descanse en
paz y que la familia que la sobrevive comparta también
de esa paz.
Todo el mundo anda en busca de la paz. Paz en el mundo. Paz en la nación. Paz en la familia. Paz en las
relaciones. Sin embargo, si vamos a encontrar la paz “fuera” de nosotros, primero tenemos que encontrarla
“dentro” de nosotros. Es ahí donde hallaremos el descanso de nuestras tareas prometido por Jesús cuando
dijo: “Vengan a mí los que van cansados, llevando pesadas cargas, y yo los aliviaré.” (San Mateo XI: 28).
María, la hermana de Marta hallo ese descanso, la Paz a los pies de Jesús y nosotros también podemos
hacerlo. Nosotros como María, debemos escoger la parte mejor y escuchar a Jesús. No debemos temer el que
aquellos que como Marta nos critiquen por “malgastar” el tiempo. Jesús nos defenderá. (San Lucas X:42).
Lo difícil que se ha convertido para nosotros el pausar, mirar y escuchar a Jesús. Aun cuando se nos otorga el
tiempo para descansar de “nuestras labores” el domingo o en las vacaciones veraniegas, optamos por
ocuparnos en muchas cosas. Optamos por “ocupar el tiempo” más vez que “perder el tiempo.”
Ya que apenas quedan cinco semanas de vacaciones veraniegas ¿por qué no disfrutar de un poco de tiempo a
los pies de Jesús? Nuestra ‘absolutamente hermosa’ iglesia abre sus puertas a las 6:00 AM, y ofrece Misas
diarias a las 7:00 AM y a las 12:10 PM y cierra sus puertas todas los días (excepto Sábado y Domingo) a las
4:00 PM. Allí en Su real Presencia, usted descubrirá la paz que todos buscan y que lo guiará a descubrir esa
paz aun cuando usted no esté en el 37 Sur de la Avenida Ocean o en el 175 de Woocleft. Descubra esa Paz
que Jesús prometió que estaría con nosotros todos los días hasta el fin de la historia. (San Mateo XXVIII: 20).
REFLEXIÓN SEMANAL
“Cuando yo era niño la Escuela nos llevó en un viaje de campo a una cueva famosa en las afueras de
la ciudad. Una vez que estuvimos en lo profundo de la caverna, centenares de pies debajo de la
tierra, las luces se apagaron y nos encontramos en la mayor oscuridad. Pero el pánico no se
apoderó de nosotros. El guía de la gira y nuestro maestro sacaron grandes linternas y los pudimos
seguir de cerca paso a paso hasta llegar a la entrada de la cueva y a la claridad del día. Ellos estaban
preparados. Nosotros también necesitamos estar preparados para el Regreso del Señor. Jesús nos
dice: “Dichosos aquellos a quienes su señor, al llegar, encuentre en vela.” (Vea Lucas 12:32-48)
¿Está Usted listo? ¿Está Usted en vela? ¿Cómo podemos prepararnos como lo hizo el guía y
nuestro maestro? San Pablo nos dice que mientras andamos en las tinieblas, nuestro viaje a la
patria celestial es iluminado por la fe. Continuemos por lo tanto cuidando de nuestra fe católica que alumbra nuestro
camino a medida que nos preparamos para el Señor, quien regresará, tal vez en medio de la noche.

Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo
Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo
2641 “Recitad entre vosotros salmos, himnos y cánticos inspirados; cantad y salmodiad en vuestro corazón al
Señor” (Ef 5, 19; Col 3, 16). Como los autores inspirados del Nuevo Testamento, las primeras comunidades
cristianas releen el libro de los Salmos cantando en él el Misterio de Cristo. En la novedad del Espíritu, componen
también himnos y cánticos a partir del acontecimiento inaudito que Dios ha realizado en su Hijo: su encarnación,
su muerte vencedora de la muerte, su resurrección y su ascensión a su derecha (cf Flp 2, 6-11; Col 1, 15-20; Ef 5,
14; 1 Tm 3, 16; 6, 15-16; 2 Tm 2, 11-13). De esta “maravilla” de toda la Economía de la salvación brota la
doxología, la alabanza a Dios (cf Ef 1, 3-14; Rm 16, 25-27; Ef 3, 20-21; Judas 24-25).

B E YE
PREPARED
Jesus said to His disciples,
“Gird your loins and light your
lamps and be like servants
who await their master’s
return from a wedding, ready
to open immediately when he
comes and knocks. Blessed
are those servants whom the
master finds vigilant on his
arrival. Amen, I say to you,
he will gird himself, have
them recline at table, and
proceed to wait on them. …
Be sure of this: if the
master of the house had
known the hour when the
thief was coming, he would
not have let his house be
broken into. You also must
be prepared, for at an
hour you do not expect, the
Son of Man will come.”
 Saint Luke XII: 32-48 
