Dear Parishioner,
“I live in an age, and a country, wherein the largest single cause of death of infants under one year of age is
homicide … I live at a time when the best known moral theologians have despaired of leading people to a more
virtuous life, but are principally concerned to insulate the sinner from the consequences of his sin; logic has given
way to latex as the preferred medium of instruction. … I live at a time when most promises will be broken, most
vows will be repudiated, most marriages will fail.” (Paul Mankowski, “Why the Immaculate Conception,” Voices 5.1
(Winter 1990):6).
The “time” that Father Mankowski wrote about may have been 1990, but the passage of nearly twenty-five
years has not made the time in which we live any less dire. In fact, with the passage of the so-called United States
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the time now in 2014 may in many ways be more dire than ever. “This
is a time” writes Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty
of the U.S, Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) “when Catholics can unite themselves in prayer to the men and
women throughout history who spread the Gospel and lived out Jesus’ call to serve the ‘least of these’ in even the
direst of circumstances.”
Over the past three years, you have participated in the prayer life of the Church and her service to others
through the Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMA) and as such, helped spread the Gospel to parishioners and nonparishioners alike. Last year alone that participation:





prepared over 15,000 children for First Holy Communion;
prepared over 3,000 couples for Marriage;
educated over 100,000 children and youth in Faith Formation;
supported fourteen students in the Seminary;
provided housing assistance, food and clothing for over 100,000 people.
While those figures are probably enough to inspire you to make a pledge to 2014 Catholic Ministries Appeal, you
might be even more inspired to help when you learn that on a parish level, your CMA contributions over the past
three years returned a rebate to our parish of $30,021.09 in 2011, $33,110.27 in 2012, and $38,239.40 in 2013!
And that return on your investment is helping your fellow parishioners to unite themselves in prayer, spread the
Gospel, and serve anyone (including you) who comes home to Our Holy Redeemer: no matter what the time or the
circumstances.
Spreading the Gospel in Prayerful Service,
Father Douglas R. Arcoleo

Our new fiscal year began on the first of this month. Although our auditors have yet to review our
books it is clear that we ended the year in the black. This has been true for each of the twelve years our
school has been open!
Special thanks to the parishioners of Our Holy Redeemer who helped us achieve this status for 2013-2014. Those who made
donations by check or by credit card via our website (www.DeLaSalleSchool.org) received a written note of gratitude. Thank
you to those whose name we do not know and who are in one of the following categories. It could be that you contributed cash
via the envelopes available in church by the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph. Possibly, you shopped at Stop and Shop during
their A+ School Rewards promotion. (We received $78.38 from the store for your participation.) Maybe you clipped, saved,
and sent us your Box Tops for Education. (We anticipate close to $840.00 from this source.) We are still waiting for a donation
from Target for those whose use of their credit card will benefit our students via their corporate Take Charge of Education
program. Know that your participation in our fund raising efforts at whatever level is a welcome contribution to our ministry of

but more and more people are giving more and more and more: 25 Cents and More!
And since people are still asking: “How can 25 Cents and More make a difference?”
I offer you the two ways that parishioners are putting in their 25 cents and more a week:
PARISHIONER A
PARISHIONER B
Offering on 13 July: $ 0.25
Offering on 20 July: $ 0.50
Offering on 27 July: $ 0.75
Offering on 3 August: $ 1.00

Yearly individual increase: $13.00
If every Sunday Mass-goer followed this model
of “putting in 25 cents”, the projected increase
in our yearly collection based on 1000 Sunday
Mass-goers would be: $344,500.00.

DECLARATION ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
DIGNITATIS HUMANAE
ON THE RIGHT OF THE PERSON AND OF COMMUNITIES
TO SOCIAL AND CIVIL FREEDOM IN MATTERS RELIGIOUS
PROMULGATED BY HIS HOLINESS POPE PAUL VI
ON 7 DECEMBER 1965
(Continued from 29 June 2014 Sunday Bulletin)
8. Many pressures are brought to bear upon the men of
our day, to the point where the danger arises lest they
lose the possibility of acting on their own judgment. On
the other hand, not a few can be found who seem
inclined to use the name of freedom as the pretext for
refusing to submit to authority and for making light of
the duty of obedience. Wherefore this Vatican Council
urges everyone, especially those who are charged with
the task of educating others, to do their utmost to form
men who, on the one hand, will respect the moral order
and be obedient to lawful authority, and on the other
hand, will be lovers of true freedom-men, in other
words, who will come to decisions on their own
judgment and in the light of truth, govern their activities
with a sense of responsibility, and strive after what is true and right, willing always to join with others in
cooperative effort.
Religious freedom therefore ought to have this further purpose and aim, namely, that men may come to act
with greater responsibility in fulfilling their duties in community life.
9. The declaration of this Vatican Council on the right of man to religious freedom has its foundation in the
dignity of the person, whose exigencies have come to be are fully known to human reason through centuries
of experience. What is more, this doctrine of freedom has roots in divine revelation, and for this reason
Christians are bound to respect it all the more conscientiously. Revelation does not indeed affirm in so many
words the right of man to immunity from external coercion in matters religious. It does, however, disclose the
dignity of the human person in its full dimensions. It gives evidence of the respect which Christ showed
toward the freedom with which man is to fulfill his duty of belief in the word of God and it gives us lessons in
the spirit which disciples of such a Master ought to adopt and continually follow. Thus further light is cast
upon the general principles upon which the doctrine of this declaration on religious freedom is based. In
particular, religious freedom in society is entirely consonant with the freedom of the act of Christian faith.
10. It is one of the major tenets of Catholic doctrine that man's response to God in faith must be free: no one
therefore is to be forced to embrace the Christian faith against his own will.(8) This doctrine is contained in
the Word of God and it was constantly proclaimed by the Fathers of the Church.(7) The act of faith is of its
very nature a free act. Man, redeemed by Christ the Savior and through Christ Jesus called to be God's
adopted son,(9) cannot give his adherence to God revealing Himself unless, under the drawing of the
Father,(10) he offers to God the reasonable and free submission of faith. It is therefore completely in accord
with the nature of faith that in matters religious every manner of coercion on the part of men should be
excluded. In consequence, the principle of religious freedom makes no small contribution to the creation of
an environment in which men can without hindrance be invited to the Christian faith, embrace it of their own
free will, and profess it effectively in their whole manner of life.
11. God calls men to serve Him in spirit and in truth, hence they are bound in conscience but they stand under
no compulsion. God has regard for the dignity of the human person whom He Himself created and man is to
be guided by his own judgment and he is to enjoy freedom. This truth appears at its height in Christ Jesus, in
whom God manifested Himself and His ways with men. Christ is at once our Master and our Lord(11) and also
meek and humble of heart.(12) In attracting and inviting His disciples He used patience.(13) He wrought
miracles to illuminate His teaching and to establish its truth, but His intention was to rouse faith in His hearers
and to confirm them in faith, not to exert coercion upon them.(14) He did indeed denounce the unbelief of
some who listened to Him, but He left vengeance to God in expectation of the day of judgment.(15) When He
sent His Apostles into the world, He said to them: "He who believes and is baptized will be saved. He who
does not believe will be condemned" (Mark 16:16). But He Himself, noting that the cockle had been sown
amid the wheat, gave orders that both should be allowed to grow until the harvest time, which will come at
the end of the world.(16) He refused to be a political messiah, ruling by force:(17) He preferred to call
Himself the Son of Man, who came "to serve and to give his life as a ransom for the many" (Mark 10:45). He
showed Himself the perfect servant of God,(18) Who "does not break the bruised reed nor extinguish the
smoking flax" (Matt. 12:20).
He acknowledged the power of government and its rights, when He
commanded that tribute be given to Caesar: but He gave clear warning
that the higher rights of God are to be kept inviolate: "Render to Caesar
the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's" (Matt.
22:21). In the end, when He completed on the cross the work of
redemption whereby He achieved salvation and true freedom for men,
He brought His revelation to completion. For He bore witness to the
truth,(19) but He refused to impose the truth by force on those who
spoke against it. Not by force of blows does His rule assert its claims.(20)
It is established by witnessing to the truth and by hearing the truth, and
it extends its dominion by the love whereby Christ, lifted up on the cross, draws all men to Himself.(21)
Taught by the word and example of Christ, the Apostles followed the same way. From the very origins of the
Church the disciples of Christ strove to convert men to faith in Christ as the Lord; not, however, by the use of
coercion or of devices unworthy of the Gospel, but by the power, above all, of the word of God.(22)
Steadfastly they proclaimed to all the plan of God our Savior, "Who wills that all men should be saved and
come to the acknowledgment of the truth" (1 Tim. 2:4). At the same time, however, they showed respect for
those of weaker stuff, even though they were in error, and thus they made it plain that "each one of us is to
render to God an account of himself" (Romans 14:12),(23) and for that reason is bound to obey his
conscience. Like Christ Himself, the Apostles were unceasingly bent upon bearing witness to the truth of God,
and they showed the fullest measure of boldness in "speaking the word with confidence" (Acts 4:31) (24)
before the people and their rulers. With a firm faith they held that the Gospel is indeed the power of God
unto salvation for all who believe.(25) Therefore they rejected all "carnal weapons:(26) they followed the
example of the gentleness and respectfulness of Christ and they preached the Word of God in the full
confidence that there was resident in this Word itself a divine power able to destroy all the forces arrayed
against God(27) and bring men to faith in Christ and to His service.(28) As the Master, so too the Apostles
recognized legitimate civil authority. "For there is no power except from God", the Apostle teaches, and
thereafter commands: "Let everyone be subject to higher authorities.... He who resists authority resists God's
ordinance" (Romans 13:1-5).(29) At the same time, however, they did not hesitate to speak out against
governing powers which set themselves in opposition to the holy will of God: "It is necessary to obey God
rather than men" (Acts 5:29).(30) This is the way along which the martyrs and other faithful have walked
through all ages and over all the earth.

perfect example of living by the Spirit. They
refused to live by the flesh. Possessions
were of no interest to them. They knew the
Spirit of God is not flesh and blood, is not
material. They used and honored the
material things they had, but they did not allow their lives to
be ruled by them. They did not identify themselves by what
they wore or what they had or what they looked like. They
identified themselves with the Spirit of God. They knew who
they were. The Spirit of God lived in them and they lived their
lives in harmony with that great truth. Thus, Jesus could bring
peace to all people. He could be gracious, merciful and
compassionate to all, because underneath all of their fleshly
attachments He recognized others, even His enemies, as
children of God, children that needed his help and compassion.
We are called to do likewise, “if by the Spirit you put to death
the deeds of the body, you will live.” Perhaps this is also the
reason that we as Catholics feel so comfortable in asking
Mary’s intercessions in our behalf.

FAITH AND THE ROMAN MISSAL
SEMINARY GOLF CLASSIC TO
SUPPORT OUR SEMINARIANS
Two of this year’s three “Seminary Golf Classic” honorees – Bishop Coyle and
Bishop Guglielmone – during their pursuit of holiness, “teed up” in residence
at Our Holy Redeemer in Freeport. Before he was Ordained a Priest in 1986,
the Most Reverend Robert Coyle lived here as a Pastoral Year Seminarian.
Before he was Ordained a Bishop in 2009, the Most Reverend Robert
Guglielmone lived here as the Director of Clergy Personnel. And while he
never lived at Our Holy Redeemer, the Most Reverend Peter Libasci, shortly
before becoming the Bishop of Manchester,
New Hampshire in 2011.
The Parish of Our Holy Redeemer has long been a friend of the Seminary. In
addition to the many parishioners who have heard the call
to Priesthood and answered it (Monsignor Leo Goggin,
Monsignor Charles W. Swiger, Father Basil Pennington
OCSO, …), and those from the Parish who are currently in
the Seminary answering that call (Brother Pierre Toussaint (Alain) Giteau, CFR), many
men (including Father Michael Bartholomew, Father Jacob Onyumbe, and Father
Vian Ntegerej’Imana) from other parishes have been sent here from the Seminary to
prepare for the Priesthood. In fact, I am happy to announce that Our Holy Redeemer will
soon welcome home another man preparing for the Priesthood, Mr. James Hansen. Mr.
Hansen is expected to be with us 7 July through 27 August. Please help him to discover
why coming home is what it’s all about.
Collect Prayer for Vocations to Holy Orders
O God, Who willed to provide shepherds for Your people,
pour out in Your Church a spirit of piety and fortitude,
to raise up worthy ministers for Your altars
and make them ardent yet gentle heralds of Your Gospel.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God forever and ever. Amen.
The Annual Seminary Golf Classic, which will also honour Saint Patrick/Huntington parishioners Judy and Bob
Crimmins, will be held at the Huntington Crescent Club on Monday, 14 July 2014. We invite you to participate by
sponsorship or joining us for golf or dinner. All funds raised support the education and formation of our
seminarians, our future Priests. For additional information please contact the Seminary Development Office,

REFLEXIÓN SEMANAL
“Si con la ayuda del Espíritu destruyen sus malas acciones, entonces vivirán.” (Ver Romanos 8:9-13) El
Evangelio de hoy nos dice que Jesús es manso y humilde de corazón. En la Santísima virgen y en Su hijo
Jesús tenemos el ejemplo perfecto de vivir conforme al Espíritu. Ellos se negaron a vivir conforme al
desorden egoísta del hombre. Las posesiones no le interesaban. Sabían que el Espíritu de Dios no es carne
y sangre, no es material. Usaron y honraron las cosas materiales que tenían, pero no dejaron que su vida
fuera gobernada por ellas. No se identificaron a sí mismos por esas cosas, por lo que llevaban o por su
parecido físico. Se identificaron con el Espíritu de Dios. Ellos sabían quiénes eran. El Espíritu de Dios vivía
en ellos y ellos vivían sus vidas en benigna armonía con esa gran verdad. Así, Jesús podía traer paz a todos
los que venían a él. El podía ser benigno, misericordioso y compasivo para con todos, porque debajo de
todas sus ataduras a las cosas carnales, él reconocía en otros, aun en sus enemigos, el hecho de que eran
hijos de Dios, hijos que necesitan de su ayuda y compasión. Nosotros también tenemos el mismo llamado pues si con la
ayuda del Espíritu destruimos nuestras malas acciones, entonces viviremos. Tal vez por esa razón nosotros los católicos nos
sentimos tan cómodos acudiendo a María en busca de su socorro.

Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo
2518 La sexta bienaventuranza proclama: "Bienaventurados los limpios de corazón porque ellos verán a Dios" (Mt 5,8). Los "corazones limpios"
designan a los que han ajustado su inteligencia y su voluntad a las exigencias de la santidad de Dios, principalmente en tres dominios: la caridad
(cf 1 Tm 4, 3-9; 2 Tm 2 ,22), la castidad o rectitud sexual (cf 1 Ts 4, 7; Col 3, 5; Ef 4, 19), el amor de la verdad y la ortodoxia de la fe (cf Tt 1, 15; 1
Tm 3-4; 2 Tm 2, 23-26). Existe un vínculo entre la pureza del corazón, la del cuerpo y la de la fe:
Los fieles deben creer los artículos del Símbolo “para que, creyendo, obedezcan a Dios; obedeciéndole, vivan bien; viviendo bien, purifiquen su
corazón; y purificando su corazón, comprendan lo que creen” (San Agustín, De fide et Symbolo, 10, 25).

Queridos Feligreses:
“Vivo en una era y en un país en los que la principal causa de muerte de infantes de menos de un año de
edad es el homicidio. Vivo en un tiempo en el que según los que afirman saber de estas cosas, Ronald McDonald es
más popular que Jesucristo. Vivo en un tiempo en el que los mejores teólogos de la moralidad han perdido la
esperanza de llevar a la gente a una vida más virtuosa, pues están principalmente preocupados con proteger al
pecador de las consecuencias de su pecado; la lógica se ha rendido ante el látex como medio de instrucción. … Vivo
en un tiempo en el que la mayoría de las promesas serán quebrantadas, las promesas repudiadas, y la mayoría de
los matrimonios fracasarán.” Paul Mankowski, “El Por qué de la Inmaculada Concepción,” Voices 5.1 (Winter 1990):6).
El “tiempo” del cual el Padre Mankowski escribió fue el 1990, pero el paso de casi veinticinco años no
han mejorado las cosas. De hecho, con el paso de la llamada Ley de Protección para el Paciente y Cuidado de
Salud asequible, (que obliga a los Católicos y a otras personas de buena voluntad a violar sus conciencias) el
tiempo de ahora de 2014 de muchos modos es más grave ahora que nunca. “Este es el tiempo” escribo el
Arzobispo William E. Lori de Baltimore, presidente del Comité en Pro de la Libertad Religiosa de la Conferencia
de Obispos Católicos de EE. UU. (USCCB) “en el que los Católicos pueden unirse en oración a los hombres y
mujeres que a través de la historia propagaron el Evangelio y cumplieron con el mandato de Jesús de servir al
‘menor de éstos’ aun en las circunstancias más difíciles.”
Durante los pasados tres años, usted ha participado en la vida de oración de la Iglesia en su servicio a
otros mediante la Campaña de los Ministerios Católicos (CMA) y como tal, usted ha ayudado a propagar el
Evangelio tanto a parroquianos como no parroquianos. Tan solo durante el año pasado esa participación:





preparó a más de 15,000 niños para recibir su Primera Santa Comunión;
preparó a más de 3,000 parejas para el Matrimonio;
educó a más de 100,000 niños y jóvenes en la Formación de la Fe;
apoyó a catorce estudiantes en el Seminario;
suministró alojamiento, alimento y ropas a más de 100,000 personas.
Aunque esas cifras de por sí probablemente son suficientes para inspirarlo a usar la Campaña de los
Ministerios Católicos para ayudar a la gente en el 2014, quizás lo inspire aun más el enterarse de que al nivel
parroquial, sus contribuciones a la CMA durante los pasados tres años devolvieron $30,021.09 en el 2011,
$33,110.27 en el 2012, y $38,239.40 en el 2013. (O un total de $101,370.76). Y ese rendimiento de su
inversión está ayudando a sus compañeros parroquianos a unirse en oración, propagar el Evangelio, y servir a
cualquiera (incluso a usted) que venga a casa a Nuestro Santo Redentor: sin importar el tiempo o las
circunstancias.
Propagando el Evangelio en Servicio y Oración,
Padre Douglas R. Arcoleo
Pastor
