From the Pastor’s Desk When I’m 64 September 19/20 When I get older losing my hair, many years from now. Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greeting, bottle of wine. If I been out till quarter of three, would you lock the door? Will you still need me, Will you still feed me, When I’m 64? I bet many of you can sing those words. I sang them a lot this week celebrating my, you guessed it, sixtyfourth birthday. The first time I heard those words was the summer of 1967. I was getting ready to enter my junior year of high school and Sgt. Pepper’s was the hot album of the year. When I sang the words I thought about old people I knew. Like my grandparents. They were a little older than 64 and as far as I was concerned they were really old. And like most 16 year old kids I had no plans of ever being old. That’s why the song was so funny. I had no plans of being 64. I was going to stay young. Do you remember the first time you realized it had happened to you? I mean growing older. Of course I am talking now to those to whom this has happened. The rest of you can just read this and laugh. After all, it is not going to happen to you. Right? Well, I remember. It was about five years ago. I was teaching a class to my medical students at Stony Brook. It was about being sensitive and aware, and not trivializing the experience of older adults. So the study guide suggested a question for the students: “Is there an older person that you know who is really cool?” I looked around the class and one student whom I will never forget, Ben, looked back at me and said: “You.” So I told Ben that he had just failed the course and should look for another career! I was only half kidding! Well, I have learned a lot over these years. I have learned that there is quite a bit of truth in the adage that you are only as old as you feel, or as you think, or as you act. I think life itself is a lot of fun, a great adventure, and I have learned to enjoy wondering what comes next. Most of all it is pretty good to have many different experiences, hopefully a little wisdom to share, and enough wisdom to enjoy seeing the next generation grow along the journey. I even enjoy those kids who look at me like I used to look at my grandfather and say, “That’s not going to happen to me!” I think the song was originally written about a young couple but it certainly can apply to anyone who has loved and cared for another for a long time. I am glad to be with all of you for this part of the journey and can only say: Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 64? Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Michael A. Vetrano BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS :: October 3, 2015 10 AM St. Francis Blessing of the Animals Join us at 10 AM on Saturday, October 3rd, to celebrate the blessing of all our furry and feathered friends!

First Fruits a new way to support your parish community Beginning this September, Sacred Hearts parishioners can participate in a program of automated giving. The main benefit of automated giving is that it enables our parish to better support our ministries with a more consistent parish offertory. When you enroll in First Fruits, Sacred Hearts will receive your weekly or monthly offertory gift regardless of the weather and even if you are away from the community for business or pleasure. In other words, it makes the support of your parish an equal priority to all those things in our lives which receive our attention and support. Frequently Asked Questions How does this automated giving program, called First Fruits, help the parish? First Fruits helps Sacred Hearts by allowing us to better forecast our income and, we hope, by leveling out large swings in income between the summer and winter months. This will strengthen our ability to develop ministry programs with the assurance that we will have the revenue to meet expenses on a year-round basis. Currently the church collects roughly half of its income in just four out of the twelve months of the year. First Fruits is being implemented to smooth out the uncertainly that is caused by this unbalanced fluctuation. If my family signs up for First Fruits, what will we place in the collection basket on Sunday? Our weekly envelopes will now include a box to be checked to notify us that you and your family are First Fruits donors. We ask that you simply continue to use your envelopes and rather than putting in a donation, you simply just check the box that says, “I/we contribute through First Fruits.” Would I be able to make Holy Day and special gift offerings with First Fruits? Yes. There will be an option to specify Holy Day and special gift offerings when you register. These offerings as well your regular weekly contributions can be changed at any time by emailing [email protected] or by simply calling the parish office. What are the privacy safeguards that exist with this program? The First Fruits program is simply an exchange of funds between your bank and the parish. Only our business office will have access to your enrollment form. Your personal information is completely confidential. In other words, automated giving is even more secure than a paper check. Will I be mailed a statement that details how much I have given in the fiscal year for my year-end tax reporting? Yes. You will be mailed a statement that will clearly show weekly and Holy Day or special gift offerings contributions. How do I sign up and can I change the amount at any time? A registration form is available in the parish office. If you wish to change your weekly gift, you will simply email or call the parish office to notify us of the change. Our telephone number is 1-631-283-0097 and email address is [email protected]. What happens if I want to cancel automated donations, change my donation, or suspend donations for a time? All you need to do is contact our parish office. As long as we receive your request 2 business days before the next scheduled transfer we can make the adjustment. ilies to rst 50 fam fi e th f o vitation to Be one eive an in c re d n a sign up vent! ank you e a special th firstFruits is a new and more convenient way for parishioners of Sacred Hearts to support our parish.

In his encyclical, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis refers to the “vision of ‘might is right’” and says it “has engendered immense inequality, injustice and acts of violence against the majority of humanity, since resources end up in the hands of the first comer or the most powerful: the winner takes all.” Despite his great popularity, there are many who don’t like such messages from the Pope, but he continues: “Completely at odds with this model are the ideals of harmony, justice, fraternity and peace as proposed by Jesus” (par. 82). As we celebrate UN International Peace Day on Monday and welcome Pope Francis to NYC later this week, let’s choose the ideals of Jesus and reject the popular culture of “might is right” no matter the cost. Religious Liberty in the United States An Evening with Thomas Renker Monday Evening October 19th Increasingly, cultural changes that come into conflict with religious teaching are reflected in statutory, judge-made and administrative law. The transformation of these cultural movements into law affects the rights of religious people and organizations to conduct themselves in conformance with the teachings of their faith. Thomas Renker, General Counsel of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, will offer a perspective on the growing conflict between culture and religious freedom in the United States. Tom Renker joined the Diocese of Rockville Centre as General Counsel on October 22, 2007. For over 25 years, he has provided legal counsel to New York not-for-profit religious organizations and is now active, along with the grass roots Long Island organization, Catholics for Freedom of Religion, in raising awareness of growing governmental and cultural threats to the practice of religion in the public square. A native Long Islander and alumnus of Chaminade High School, Tom is a 1986 graduate of New York University School of Law and a 1982 graduate of Columbia College, Columbia University. A former resident of Sag Harbor, where his three children attended Stella Maris Regional School, he and his wife, Mary, now reside in Mineola and are parishioners of Corpus Christi parish. 2015 Catholic Ministries Appeal “Be men and women who bring the light of hope to others.” Pope Francis Please consider donating to the Appeal and making a difference in someone’s life.

Mis Palabras Son Espíritu y Vida Eterna - Es la palabra de Pedro a Jesucristo. Cuando Cristo reta al colegio apostólico: "¿Ustedes también se quieren ir?". Pedro tiene la valentía de un cristiano convencido de su fe en Cristo. "¿A quién iremos Señor? Sólo Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna". Es la proclamación de la trascendencia de Cristo. Tomado de la Homilía de Mons. Oscar Romero, 26 de Agosto de 1979 Seguro de Salud para Niños - La representante de Fidelis Care, Konny Tapias, estará en el Apostolado Hispano los miércoles de las 10 AM hasta la 1:00 PM, para ayudar con seguro de salud para los niños. APOSTOLADO HISPANO Rincón de Información El Matrimonio: signo de solidaridad entre la carne y las palabras de la vida eterna - En la segunda lectura se expresa el signo de la alianza, de esta solidaridad entre la carne y lo divino. San Pablo nos ha expresado hoy: “El matrimonio es un gran sacramento, pero yo lo digo refiriéndole a Cristo y a su Iglesia". Una mujer y un hombre, de familias muy distintas, hasta de pueblo y de países lejanos, se conocen, se aman y sellan para toda la vida una alianza matrimonial. No es sólo el amor de ese hombre y de esa mujer. Ellos representan dos familias, dos pueblos, y representan una identificación a pesar de ser tan distintos que sucede lo que San Pablo dice hoy: "Ya no son dos, sino una sola carne". Este es el signo que Cristo quiso poner en la tierra para que los hombres, al ver los matrimonios, pensaran en la alianza de la carne con el Espíritu. Así como el hombre se enamora de una mujer y la ama y es capaz de dar su vida para conquistarla; y así como una mujer que ama se entrega totalmente al hombre, eso es cabalmente un signo de unión. Y cuanto más se amen y más se entreguen, son más signo del amor infinito de Dios que nos buscó. Tomado de la Homilía de Mons. Oscar Romero, 26 de Agosto de 1979 Encuentro Diocesano 2015 - Se celebrará el lunes, 7 de septiembre, de las 8 AM – 4 PM en el Seminario de la Inmaculada Concepción en Huntington, 440 W Neck Rd, Huntington NY 11743.
