Stewardship
A Way of Life
This Week’s Readings
“Who do you say I am?” Jesus asks Peter in today’s
Gospel. Does my use of the gifts and talents entrusted to
me accurately reflect my answer to that same question?
How willing am I to deny myself, take up my cross and
follow in His steps?
Living Stewardship
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish
who practice the spiritual work of mercy to “instruct the
ignorant” by handing on the faith to kids and grandkids
by their own example, or offering their gifts to teach in
RCIA, confirmation, youth group or religious
education.

2017 Mass
Intentions
The Mass intention book for
2017 is now open and
having a Mass offered for a loved one on their
birthday, date of death or some other significant date in
their life can be arranged at the Rectory Office.
Having one’s loved ones remembered at Mass is a
tradition that dates back to the early Church.
Inscriptions on the walls of the ancient catacombs ask
people to pray for those who have fallen asleep in
death. St. Ambrose (d. 397) preached that just as we
have loved people during life, we love them in death as
we pray for them. St. Augustine (d. 430) recorded the
dying wishes of his mother, St. Monica in his
Confessions: “One thing only I ask you, that you
remember me at the altar of the Lord wherever you
may be.”
More recently, Pope Leo XIII explained that
the Mass is the means by which we are especially
connected to those who have gone before us. For it is
at Mass, Pope Leo wrote, that we “all form one city,
whose head is Christ, and whose vital principle is
love.” And it is through the Mass, St. John Paul II
wrote, that “the Church prays that God, the Father of
mercies, will grant His children the fullness of the Holy
Spirit so that they may become one body and one spirit
in Christ” and live in the presence of God for all
eternity. Please feel free to speak to one of the priests
should you have any questions.

5th Annual Fortnight For Freedom: Witnesses to Freedom
Designated by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
“On his visit to the U.S., Pope Francis encouraged us to nurture, promote, and defend the precious gift
of religious freedom. To this end, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has continued to
encourage Catholics, other Christians, and all people of good will to set aside two weeks to reflect on
religious freedom.” Archbishop William E. Lori, Archdiocese of Baltimore Catholics for Freedom of
Religion along with the Diocese of Rockville Centre are most honored to welcome Archbishop Lori as
the keynote speaker at the June 27 Rally for Religious Freedom. See details below.
As Catholics and Americans, striving to be good and faithful servants, we are called to prosper the gift
of free will. To do that, we must learn the meaning of conscience rights and recognize the forces
denying that right. We must learn our Constitution’s unique protection of conscience and not passively
yield them to placate a secular culture. Only then can we answer every attack on religious liberty in
our community, state and country. The deliberate erosion of respect for Christians, for religious
practices and deeply held beliefs has brought unimagined and liberty-crushing cultural and political
changes. Would you risk your own life, fortune and sacred honor to defend this right of religious
freedom? Would you make it a priority to pray, learn and teach others to love and preserve religious
liberty? Archbishop Chaput has said, “If lay people don’t love their Catholic faith enough to struggle
for it in the public square, nothing the Bishops do will finally matter”
Bishop William Murphy points out, “ Today we are the witnesses. We will pray and we will speak.
We will act together and invite others to join us. Our cause is a cause that is great and a truth that
cannot be vanquished.”

This Father’s Day,
please consider those Dads
who because of
an illness or loss of job,
are having trouble feeding
or sheltering their family.
A crisis can take many forms and strike in an instant. The good news is that because of you, the Catholic
Ministries Appeal provides the support necessary for our Parish Outreach and Catholic Charities programs to assist
those in their time of greatest need.
Every day, people in our community are helped because of support from funds raised through the Catholic
Ministries Appeal…Dads like James. James saw information about the Catholic Ministries Appeal at his local parish,
and he knew he had to turn to the Church for help since he had nowhere else to go. James had been gainfully
employed for more than 10 years when he began to feel ill. Soon his medical issues made it impossible for him to
keep working and he was forced to go out on disability.
After paying the co-pays on his medications, his family’s rent and utilities bills, James had very little left to
purchase food and other necessities for his family.
It was hard for him to ask for help, but with nowhere else to turn, he did. Catholic Charities found him a
specialist who assessed the family’s needs and directed them to appropriate resources in his community. He went
to his Parish Outreach, where his family received food that let them make it through the month. James and his
family got the help they so desperately needed.
Today, James is back to work and the family is doing well. “I am so thankful that I know there is somewhere I
can turn, where there are people that care, people I can talk to, if I am ever in such a situation again,” shared James.
Thank you for considering this special request to make a gift to the 2016 Catholic Ministries Appeal. Please
know that no gift is too small and every gift makes a difference in the lives of Dads like James and so many
others. You may pick up information and pledge cards in the back of the Church, fill out the form below or
