Pastor’s Letter
May 11/12 Mothers Day
Susan’s New Car
Dear Parish Family,
Not too many years ago I was teaching a course in our Pastoral Formation Institute, entitled Living
the Christian Life, the course was about morality and especially about living as Jesus taught us. One
spring I had a particularly enjoyable class. Everyone seemed to work together very well and after the
last session my students invited me to join them at a local diner for lunch to celebrate. As we left and
were saying our goodbyes Susan, a young woman with a bunch of middle school kids, pointed out her
new car. It was nice and red and shiny except for the roof which was kind of a pale pink with a dull
finish. I remarked that it was beautiful and that I didn’t know they still made two tone cars. Susan
laughed. She said there was a story behind the pink roof.
She explained that she had parked the car in her driveway under a flowering tree. One night, the
tree deposited an explosion of pollen and sap all over the car. Her kids were up early. They saw the
mess and decided to give their mom a special present. They would wash the car. The usual bucket,
soap, and sponge came out but the sap and pollen proved especially sticky. Rather than give up, they
decided to use something stronger. They decided to use Brillo! They scoured and scoured. The sap and
pollen came off. So did the paint.
I could imagine the scene. It was hard to imagine how any parent could keep their cool. Susan
explained. “I was not happy about the car! But I teach my kids how to be thoughtful and generous and
they were trying to do a good thing. If I showed them that I was angry it would have ruined their
thoughtful intentions.” People like Susan amaze me.
They say that our moms make great sacrifices for us, their children. My mind goes to the obvious:
cooking endless meals, working extra jobs, cleaning our bottoms, and sitting up through our feverish
nights. We probably don’t know the half of it! Moms take our mini childhood tragedies seriously,
worry with us through the fears and anxieties of growing up, hold lots of things inside for our good,
and are grateful for a car cleaned with Brillo.
Today is a day to be grateful for all those wonderful women in our lives who love us in ways we
know and in ways beyond our knowing. They hold our love
and our secrets in their hearts.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Michael A. Vetrano
Pastor

SAVE THE DATE!
Summer is Coming - Get That Tent Ready
There is nothing like the first warm day of spring to turn our thoughts to the return of summer! This
year we will have something very special to look forward to: the return of the Sacred Heart End of
Summer Tent Party! I have heard so much about this historic SHJM event and I am delighted that
Pat Corrigan and Joan Heinz have graciously offered to chair the party. This year our party will
honor Mary Steinbrecher, one of the party’s most enthusiastic supporters over many years. Mary
passed away this past fall but not before encouraging all of us to renew this event as a way for the
parish and community to come together and celebrate our wonderful parish and the joys of summer
in Southampton.
August 31st for our Summer Party under the Tent.
COMING SOON! SHJM’S NEW SUPER RAFFLE
On Memorial Day Weekend ticket sales will begin for Sacred Hearts New and Improved Super
Raffle. This year we will be selling even more tickets—up to 500 will be sold so we won’t run out
and you won’t be disappointed!
But even better we will be offering even more prizes, 10 in all, so your chances of being a big
winner will now be 1 in 50 instead of 1 in 200 as in the past.
Tickets will still be $100 and you can purchase them on you own or take a chance or chances with a
group of friends to increase your chances of winning.
Anyone wishing to join the committee in selling chances before and after Mass to please contact:
Charlie Mottern—631-283-3785. We especially need some volunteers for the 5 PM Masses on
Saturday and Sunday.

In Sympathy
Our parish mourns the passing of Peter Gambino, longtime parishioner and owner of the Baby Moon
Restaurant in Westhampton. A mass of Christian Burial was celebrated in the Basilica of Sacred
Hearts of Jesus & Mary on Friday, May 3rd and burial followed in Sacred Hearts of Jesus & Mary
Cemetery. Our sympathies go out to his wife, Salvatrice, his daughters, Paola, Marina, & Jackie,
his family and friends.
Memorial Day Mass
Come celebrate with us at 9 AM on Memorial Day to honor our veterans, past &
present. The Mass will be in the Basilica this year. We invite all Scouts, veteran
groups, current service men & women and their families to join us. There will be
bagels, coffee & juice after the Mass provided by the Knights of Columbus. We
can then join the ceremonies in the village.
On May 13th, we invite all to take part in a decade of the Rosary. You can come to 12
Noon Mass that day and we will recite the Rosary after Mass or say it wherever you
are—home, work, etc.
Join our new Parish Prayer Group—the Choose Life Prayer Group—joining is easy—
no meetings, no dues, only promise to pray a decade of the Rosary everyday. For more

Catholic Charities can maintain its services for the poor and
disadvantaged, and we can continue to reach out to our young people and
others to find the best ways to guide and pass on our faith from
generation to generation.

Jesús Ora para que Seamos U
" no"- Ya va concluyendo la
temporada de Pascua. Por fin podemos vislumbrar
todos los ingredientes que esta fiesta nos trae: a la
alegría pascual, a la fe y al amor hoy se une el elemento
de la unidad. Jesús ora (evangelio) para que todos
seamos "uno". Como proclama la segunda lectura, Él es
el principio y el fin; en Él podemos lograr esta
"unidad". Estos elementos de la Pascua se presentan
ante un mundo lleno de otros ingredientes negativos: la
violencia y la discordia, el racismo y la opresión, la
competencia y la avaricia. No vivimos en un mundo
perfecto, pero los cristianos tenemos que tratar de
mejorarlo. By Juan J. Sosa, Pbro., from Liturgia y Canción 2013 © 2012, OCP.

Qué Paradoja - El Señor Jesús, el Mesías, deja a los
suyos para enviarles al Espíritu Santo y estar más cerca
de ellos. Él anuncia, guía, anima y prepara a sus
discípulos —¡y estamos incluidos!— para todo eso. Es
bastante lo que tenemos. Él está con nosotros, está
detrás y delante de nosotros para que lo recibamos. El
Espíritu y la novia dicen: Vengan, síganme.
“Disfrutarán del árbol de la Vida y se les abrirán las
puertas de la Ciudad”. ¡Ven, Señor, Jesús! Danos valor.
Danos el alimento de tu cuerpo para que demos el
primer paso. ¡Amén!! Texto: Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2000,
