THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD AND OUR BAPTISM
“John answered them all,
saying, “I am baptizing you
with water, but one
mightier than I is coming. I
am not worthy to loosen the
thongs of his sandals. He
will baptize you with the
Holy Spirit and fire.” After all the people had been
baptized and Jesus also had been baptized and was
praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit
descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a
voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son;
with you I am well pleased.” (Luke 3: 15-22)
into the place of sinners. His inaugural gesture is an
anticipation of the Cross… The Baptism is an
acceptance of death for the sins of humanity, and the
voice that calls out ‘This is my beloved Son’ over the
baptismal waters is an anticipatory reference to the
resurrection. This also explains why, in his own
discourses, Jesus uses the word baptism to refer to his
death.” (Pope Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth)
In the synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke)
the baptism of John is clearly a baptism of repentance
for the forgiveness of sins. However, in the Gospel of
John (the Fourth Gospel written at the end of the first
century and clearly emphasizing the divinity of Jesus
Christ) the baptism is simply a tool to reveal the
identity of Jesus and is not associated with forgiveness
of sins. The main role that John has is not to baptize.
Rather he comes to bear witness to Jesus as the Light,
the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world,
the Chosen One, the Bridegroom and the ‘preexistent
Word’ coming into the world.
For many centuries, water was used ritually by the
Jewish people, to purify and cleanse. The baptism by
John however, is very different from these religious
actions. The call of John to the bank of the river
Jordan is a call to conversion that gives the whole life
of the one being washed a new direction forever.
Immersion into the waters symbolizes
death to the immorality of the past and the

Pope Francis has declared a Year of Mercy! There has
been quite a bit of excitement and information regarding this wonderful Year of Jubilee!
In joining with the celebration, we will be providing to
you each month a “Stewardship Connections” column
for your bulletin. Each brief insert will highlight and
make connections between The Year of Mercy and our
lives as Christian Stewards. We hope you utilize this
resource!
Stewardship Connections
Mercy...What about Me?
by Laurie Whitfield
Our Holy Father has declared a
year of Jubilee - The Year of Mercy!
Pope Francis’ wish for us in this Jubilee
is to consciously “take-a-step” forward
on our journey of faith to experience
spiritual conversion. As steward disciples, we are well aware that conversion
is possible only by accepting God’s
grace joined with our desire to follow
more closely and deepen our relationship with Christ.
What a journey this year will be!
Let’s begin this Year of Mercy by being merciful
with ourselves. We are God’s great works of art! Perhaps
the first door to pass through is the one that rids us of clutter
and fills us with faith, positivity, prayer, joy, laughter, love,
gratitude, community, service, ministry, stewardship!
Maybe there will be several doors to pass through this year
and this is the first! This door will bring you out from some
of the self-darkness into the light. You are a wonderfully
gifted child of God! Let your light shine for all to see! You
will now be more ready to be merciful to others and practice
better the corporal and spiritual works of mercy! The door
is open...it is up to us to be ready to pass through! Happy
Jubilee!

Bulletin Reflection:
Jesus, whom God called “my beloved Son,” is also the “servant”
of whom Isaiah speaks in the first reading. We who are baptized in Christ must follow His example and use our time and
resources in the service of God and neighbor.
Living Stewardship:
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who
answer their baptismal call to believe with joy by placing their
gifts and resources, their very selves, at God’s service not only
in the Church but in the world!
First Announcement
Vincent Devine (St. Kilian) & Lauren Cappelli (St. Pius)
Eternal Rest grant unto them O Lord; and let the
perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and
the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy
of God Rest in Peace. Amen

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
This letter brings with it my sincere hope that your Christmas and New Year’s Holidays were
filled with many blessings and that God continues to share his love and graces with you throughout
the coming year.
We wish to thank you for your continued leadership support of your Parish and the Catholic Ministries
Appeal. We are so deeply grateful for the extraordinary sacrifices that you have made to support the
work of our church on Long Island. Your generosity and commitment to our faith, and community fills
me with confidence that many wonderful things will continue to take place in our Diocese.
Last year because of your support we not only were able to continue to bring religious education to
more than 100,000 students in public schools, but we were also able to initiate a special training
program for Catechists so they can assist the ever-growing number of autistic children in our
community. We were proud to ordain five priests for the Diocese of Rockville Centre and continue
to support the men in our Diaconate program, all of which you help make possible.
Last year at secular college campuses across our Island more than 3,500 students a month participated
in Mass and other faith-based activities. At one of the campuses students didn’t have a sacred place
to pray so they worked together with our Office of Campus Ministry to convert a storage closet into
a chapel. These young adults are growing in their faith and you are helping them to do that.
Please know how grateful I am for your support of the Catholic Ministries Appeal, and in all
humbleness on behalf of all who would benefit from your kindness, I am asking you to make a gift to
the 2016 Catholic Ministries Appeal and, so that together as one faith family, we can continue to meet
the needs of our community.
With gratitude and prayers, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Bishop of Rockville Centre

that can be made to our Parish.
1. You are at least 70 1/2 years old on the date you make your gift
2. Your IRA is a traditional or Roth
3. You don’t exceed your personal maximum of $100,000 per year in qualified charitable
distributions
You will not have to report your distribution as income. It will be free of
federal and New York State income tax, and it will count toward your
required minimum distribution (RMD).
The best way for you to start is with your IRA custodian. Tell them you want to
make a “qualified charitable distribution”. In most cases you will only have to fill out
a simple form.
VERY IMPORTANT!! Your gift must go directly from your IRA to the Parish.
If you receive the money first then you’ll be taxed on it like any other
distribution.
Example: Mrs. Connors, age 76, has $125,000 in a traditional IRA and would like to
contribute $5,000 to her Parish in 2016. Upon hearing of the Charitable IRA Rollover
opportunity, she directs the custodian of her IRA to transfer this amount not later
than December 31, 2016 directly to the Parish as a 2016 gift. She will not be subject
to income tax on her $5,000 qualified charitable distribution.

As you help those who are suffering,
know in your heart the truth of the words “you
are my beloved in whom I am well pleased”.

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo,
Mediante esta carta les expreso mis sinceros deseos que su celebración de
las fiestas de Navidad y Año Nuevo hayan estado llenas de bendiciones y
también mi deseo de que en el año venidero Dios continúe compartiendo
con ustedes su amor y gracias.
Queremos expresarles nuestro agradecimiento por su perseverancia en el
liderazgo de su parroquia y con la Campaña de Apoyo a Ministerios
Católicos. Nos sentimos sumamente agradecidos por el extraordinario
sacrificio que Ud. hace apoyando el trabajo de nuestra iglesia en Long
Island. Su generosidad y compromiso tanto con nuestra fe como con
nuestra comunidad, me da la confianza de que cosas maravillosas
continuaran sucediendo en nuestra Diócesis.
El año pasado, gracias a su apoyo, pudimos no solo continuar impartiendo
educación religiosa a más de 100,000 estudiantes de escuelas públicas,
sino que también pudimos iniciar un programa especial de capacitación para
Catequistas para que así puedan ayudar al creciente número de niños
autistas en nuestra comunidad. Todo esto fue posible gracias a su ayuda.
También el año pasado, hemos actuado en diferentes campus de
universidades laicas en todo Long Island: Cada mes, más de 3,500
estudiantes de estas universidades asistieron a misa o participaron en otras
actividades relacionadas con la fe. Incluso en uno de estos campus
universitarios, los estudiantes ni siquiera tenían un lugar adecuado donde
orar; así es que ellos en conjunto con nuestra Oficina Ministerial de ese
Campus, convirtieron un área de almacenamiento en una capilla. Así estos
jóvenes adultos están creciendo en su fe y Ud. nos está ayudando a que así
sea.
Quiero que Ud. sepa que estoy sumamente agradecido por su ayuda a la
Campaña de Apoyo a los Ministerios Católicos, y humildemente, a nombre
de todos aquellos que se benefician de su generosidad, solicito que hagan
una donación a la Campaña del 2016 de los Ministerios Católicos; de
manera que juntos, como una familia de fe, podamos continuar asistiendo
las necesidades de nuestra comunidad.
Con gratitud, y oraciones, quedo de Ud.
Sinceramente en Cristo,
Obispo de Rockville Centre

El Bautismo del Señor
La fiesta del Bautismo del Señor es la última
del tiempo navideño. En ella se expresa, como en la
Epifanía, que Jesús, ese Niño, envuelto en pañales y
recostado en un pesebre es la manifestación de Dios
mismo entre nosotros. Durante la Navidad vivimos un
tiempo extraordinario; parece que el mundo se
detenga y aprenda a hacer el bien. La alegría es
desbordante, las personas se encuentran, se
reconcilian, se dan regalos. El ambiente en la liturgia
es de gozo, de ternura y sencillez. El evangelista
Lucas, presentando la predicación del Bautista, nos
enfoca en una doble observación. El pueblo estaba en
expectación. De hecho la gente creía que Juan era el
Mesías. Pero Juan aclara y encamina hacia el
verdadero Mesías con su propio testimonio.
Hoy es un domingo que nos llena de nostalgia
invitándonos al equilibrio entre la Navidad que
termina y que tiene un sentido extraordinario y la
entrada al ciclo ordinario; en la liturgia empezaremos
a seguir al Señor en la normalidad de la vida
cotidiana. Pero antes de eso vale la pena detenernos y
pensar en la importancia de nuestro propio bautismo.
¿Te has dado cuenta de que eres hijo, hija de Dios?
¿Sabes lo que quiere decir seguir al Mesías?
¿Comprendes el compromiso de estar vinculados a la
misión de Jesucristo? Hoy es el día preciso de
comenzar de nuevo, centrarnos en la vida pública de
Jesús en sus milagros y su deseo de que el Reino de
Dios se cumpla entre nosotros. Hacer presente a Jesús
en el mundo con sencillez y apertura de corazón. ¡Eso
hace un verdadero discípulo de Jesucristo!
UNCION DE LOS ENFERMOS:
Llamar a la Rectoría, inmediatamente en caso de emergencia o
enfermedad, para que la persona reciba los Sacramentos
necesarios. (516)- 249-0127 Ext. 129 Padre Jose.
GRUPO DE ORACION:
(Renovación Carismática) Todos los miércoles de 7 a 9:30 PM en
la cafetería, Y Hora Santa en la iglesia todos los Segundos
miércoles de cada mes, de 7:30-8:30pm.
GRUPO JUVENIL:
Se reúnen todos los sábados, después de Misa. Para
información, hablar con Nelson (516)351-8913/ Erlin (631)7051229.
Sucedió que entre la gente que se bautizaba, también Jesús
fue bautizado. Mientras éste oraba, se abrió el cielo y el
Espíritu Santo bajó sobre él en forma sensible, como de una
paloma. - Lc 3, 21-22
