FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Dear Friends in Christ,
As we begin a new Pastoral Year
in the life of our parish I want to begin by
reminding everyone of the importance of the
religious formation of our children. This year
we have 240 students registered in St. Mary
Star of the Sea School. Scholarship money
is still available for Catholic families, particularly for children in
grades 2 and 8. If you would like to obtain more information
about our Catholic School please contact Ms. Brucia at (718)
327-2242 as soon as possible. Our parish Religious Education
Program will begin on the last Saturday of this month. Please
register your children if you have not already done so! It is
also so important for each one of us to spread the message
about our school and religious education program to our
friends, neighbors, classmates, etc. There are thousands of
Catholics who live in our neighborhood who do not attend
Mass at either church week after week. The only way they can
know about what is happening here is if we spread the word!
Any parent who would like to hand out information outside of
any of the public schools can let me know. We are very happy
to provide the information that will help us spread the Good
News. Volunteers are always needed and always welcome!
Our parish Rosary Convocation began last Tuesday
with the Mass on the Beach. Deacon Mike will continue the
Convocation each Tuesday during the month of September at
7:00 P.M. in the church. All are welcome to join us as we pray
the rosary in English, Spanish and French. I am grateful to
Deacon Mike and the members of the English speaking Prayer
Group for their help in planning this special Rosary
Convocation during the month of September.
Over the last few months Deacon Tony has been
working with a group of dedicated parishioners who now make
up what is called the St. Paul the Apostle Evangelization
Committee. The goal of the committee is to reach out to those
who do not come to church and to make them feel part of this
parish family. Who do you know that needs to be welcomed?
What friends, neighbors or family members do you have who
do not come to church or practice their faith? As we begin a
new parish year it is my goal that this year be about true
evangelization! All those who would like to help in reaching out
to others should leave their name and phone number for me at
(718) 327-1133 Ext. 22. The Lord is calling us to seek the lost
and welcome the stranger. When we work together great
things can happen. I would love your help on this special
mission. Please consider joining me!
There were cheers and applause last Sunday when I
announced that our old friend Father Tony Hernandez was
named as a Chaplain to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI with
the title of Reverend Monsignor. Msgr. Tony spent his first five
years of priesthood here in our parish and continues to keep in
3
touch with many friends and parishioners. Our parish
celebrates this great honor. I have written to Msgr. Tony to
invite him to come home to Far Rockaway and celebrate with
us. I will let you know of a date for the celebration once it is
set. In the meantime I have his address listed below for all
those who would like to extend their congratulations to him:
Reverend Monsignor Anthony M. Hernandez

With Love in Christ,

Hospitality Weekend
The hospitality ministry is hosting the next hospitality weekend
on September 26th and September 27th, 2009. Light
refreshments will be served after each of the Masses on those
dates. All are invited to attend and the refreshments are free
of charge. We need contributions of homemade or store
bought baked goods and beverages such as juice or soda to
be served during that weekend. Please bring your food/
beverage contribution with you to Mass that weekend and give
it to one of the hospitality ministers. If you would like to assist
in serving the refreshments, please leave your name and
phone number at the rectory.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM
Religious classes for all children in Public School will
start on Saturday, September 26 with an opening Mass in
the Church. Please register your child before that day. No
registration will be accepted on September 26th.

Adopt-a-Priest corner
Our celebration of the “Year of the Priest” is ongoing. If you
have not yet adopted a priest, please find it in your heart to do
so as soon as possible.
Over 700 letters were sent out to the priests and seminarians
of the Diocese of Brooklyn to let them know that our
parishioners are adopting priests for the year. Several priests
have responded with their appreciation by email, letter and
telephone calls. They are overwhelmed by our kindness and
they greatly appreciate what we are doing for them.
Here are excerpts from some of the letters that have been
received thus far:
“With sincere thanks for a spiritually
generous program of support in the
Year of the Priest.” Msgr Thomas Caserta
“I cannot tell you how much it means
to me that you are praying for me in
a special way.” Father Arthur Minichello
“Thank you for your prayers.”
Msgr. Edward Wetterer
“What a wonderful idea! I am most
greatful to have received notice of my
“adoption” by one of the members of
your parish & especially of the promise
of prayers that goes with it. What
better gift could I have been given! I
appreciate your support and encouragement. God bless! Msgr. Tosi
“Thank you very much for your prayers.
Msgr. Basler

My Spiritually Adopted Priest
I’ve contacted my adopted priest. I will be sharing a family photo with
him and will be calling him as well.
Beverly Johnson Godette.
I’ve been writing to my spiritually adopted priest. The first time I wrote
him, I sent him a holy card together with my letter. This month, I
intend to send a NY Times clipping about a study done by the CARA
on priests. I shared with him what our parish is doing on this Year of
the Priest. I also explained how I end up picking his name. I thanked
him for being a priest. I also let him know that I’ve been praying for
him and lifting up his intentions during my daily recitations of the
rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet . I also remember him at Mass and
during Eucharistic Adorations at St Rose Parish where I usually visit.
I also include in my prayers all priests and seminarians of the
Diocese with each one mentioned by name. This way, not one
priest in our Diocese is not prayed for. I’ll encourage a friend of mine
to also do the same.
“My priest” has not responded yet. But that is all right. The intention
is to pray for priests whether they respond or not. I’ll continue to pray
for him. Besides, no prayer is wasted.
E. P.
Note: Those who would like to share their experience with their
adopted priest with the parish through the Bulletin , we’d like to hear
from you. Please contact anyone from the vocations committee.
VINGT-QUATRIÈME DIMANCHE- « Donne la paix, Seigneur,
à ceux qui t’espèrent ». Telle est la prière qui ouvre la messe
de ce dimanche. La paix est un don de Dieu aux hommes
dans le Christ, mais elle est aussi, de la part des hommes, un
hommage à leur Seigneur. Nous chantons : « Gloire à Dieu et
paix aux hommes ». Or il y a un lien entre la gloire de Dieu et
la paix entre les hommes : celle-ci est une hymne à la gloire de
Dieu. En effet « le créateur et maître de toutes choses » n’a
pas fait les hommes pour s’entre-déchirer, « il ne se réjouit pas
de voir mourir les vivants ». Quant au Christ, « il s’est anéanti
pour donner au monde la paix par le sang de sa croix », et il a
laissé sa paix comme don ultime à ses disciples. Aussi les
chrétiens doivent-ils être des artisans de la paix, ce qui exige
d’abord qu’ils soient en paix avec Dieu, en servant le Seigneur
« avec un cœur sans partage », et qu’ils travaillent pour la
justice, car justice et paix marchent du même pas. Quand nous
offrons l’Eucharistie, nous demandons au Seigneur d’
« étendre au monde entier le salut et la paix » et, quand nous
partageons « le pain rompu et la coupe de bénédiction », nous
refaisons nos énergies au service de la justice et de la paix,
car le Christ s’y saisit de nos vies pour les pénétrer de sa
charité.

DEL ESCRITORIO DE NUESTRO PARROCO
Queridos amigos en Cristo,
Mientras comenzamos un nuevo
Año Pastoral en la vida de nuestra
parroquia quiero comenzar recordándole a
cada uno de ustedes la importancia de la
formación religiosa de nuestros niños. Este
año la Escuela Santa María Estrella del Mar
tiene 240 estudiantes registrados. Todavía
tenemos becas disponibles para familias Católicas,
especialmente para niños en los grados 2 y 8. Si usted desea
obtener más información sobre nuestra Escuela Católica, por
favor póngase en contacto con la Sra. Brucia al (718) 3272242 lo mas pronto posible. El Programa de Educación
Religiosa de nuestra parroquia comenzará el último sábado de
este mes. ¡Por favor haga todo lo posible por registrar a sus
niños si todavía no los ha registrado! También es muy
importante que cada uno de nosotros extendamos el mensaje
sobre nuestra escuela y nuestro programa de educación
religiosa a nuestros vecinos, compañeros de clase, etc. Hay
muchos Católicos que viven en nuestra vecindad que no
asisten a la misa a una ni la otra de las Iglesias ¡De la única
manera que se enteran de lo que ocurre en nuestra Iglesia es
extendiendo el mensaje! Si algunos de nuestros padres
quieren ayudarnos repartiendo información en cualquiera de
las escuelas públicas por favor déjeme saber. Con gusto
trataremos de proporcionar la información que nos ayudará a
extender las Buenas Nuevas. ¡Siempre estamos necesitando
voluntarios y siempre son bienvenidos!
Nuestra Convocación del Rosario Parroquial
comenzó el martes pasado con la misa en la playa. El diácono
Mike seguirá la Convocación cada martes durante el mes de
septiembre a las 7:00 P.M. en la iglesia. Todos son
bienvenidos para unirse a nosotros mientras rezamos el
rosario en inglés, español y francés. Les estoy agradecido al
Diácono Mike y los miembros del Grupo de Oración en Ingles
por toda su ayuda en planear esta Convocación especial del
Rosario durante el mes de septiembre.
Durante los últimos meses el Diácono Tony ha estado
trabajando con un grupo de dedicados feligreses organizando
un Comité que se llamara el Comité de Evangelización del
Apóstol San Pablo. El objetivo de este comité es tratar de
extenderle la mano a aquellos que no vienen a la iglesia para
que se sientan parte de nuestra familia parroquial. ¿A quién
conoce usted que necesita que le demos la bienvenida?
¿Cuáles amigos, vecinos o familiares tiene usted que no
vienen a la iglesia o practican su fe? ¡Mientras comenzamos
un nuevo año parroquial espero que sea de verdadera
evangelización! Todos aquellos que desean ayudarnos a
extenderles la mano a otros deberán llamarme los mas pronto
posible al (718) 327-1133 Ext. 22 y dejar su nombre y su
número de teléfono. El Señor nos llama para buscar a los que
están perdidos y a darles la bienvenida a los desconocidos. Si
trabajamos unidos muchas cosas buenas pueden suceder. Le
5
agradeceré mucho toda su ayuda para esta misión especial.
¡Únase a mi por favor!
El domingo pasado se escucharon muchos aplausos
cuando anuncié que nuestro querido amigo el Padre Tony
Hernandez fue nombrado Capellán a Su Santidad el Papa
Benedicto XVI con el título de Reverendo Monseñor. El
monseñor Tony pasó sus primeros cinco años de sacerdocio
aquí en nuestra parroquia y siempre se ha mantenido en
contacto con muchos de sus amigos y feligreses. Nuestra
parroquia celebra este gran honor. Yo le hice una invitación al
Monseñor Tony para a venir a esta su casa y celebrar con
nosotros. Pronto les dejaré saber la fecha para la celebración
cuando tengamos el día. Mientras tanto aquí esta su dirección
para todos aquellos que a deseen felicitarlo:
Reverend Monsignor Anthony M. Hernandez
