From the Pastor’s Desk
Dear Parishioners,
“But without love, then I am nothing at all.” (1 Corinthians 13:3)
In our Catholic faith we hear so much about love and the challenge to be loving people. Sometimes it may seem that
the word love becomes so overused that the profoundness of its significance can be lost to us. Even what love is can
be drowned out by the varied meanings we give to it. But here is St. Paul spelling out pretty clearly what love is in
the context of faith. Love is not a warm fuzzy feeling but rather a dynamic power that calls us to action. St. Paul tells
us that love is working for what is right. It is a force that doesn’t take pleasure in the failings of others but works for
righteousness. It doesn’t cut down but builds up. Love can be described as wanting and willing what is truly best for
another human being. Easier said than done for most of us, I think. Yet that is what is expected of us. So how do we take
these profound thoughts of St. Paul and make them more than mere words but a force by which we live?
We look to the Old Testament today and the prophet Jeremiah is commanded by God to “brace yourself for action.
Stand up and speak the truth.” Love, as described by St. Paul, is the power by which we have the strength and
knowledge to bear truth and hope to a wanting world. Like Jeremiah, we may at times lose hope but God gives us His
promise that even though people may “fight against us,” if we remain in the truth, “they will never overcome us.” We
know that work for justice so often goes unrewarded. At times it may feel like it falls on deaf ears. Added to that is the
difficulty of speaking the truth to the people we know. As we hear in the Gospel, “no prophet is accepted in his own
country (town).” How often have we felt ineffectual in speaking about Jesus to our own families or friends? They may
pick out our faults or failings and use that as the premise to ignore our words. But again, that should not let us lose
heart...we have been given a pledge and promise from Jesus to remain faithful and not to lose heart. All is accomplished
in God’s time, not our own.
So our job is to continue to live and preach as we have been commanded. It is in that faithfulness that springs out of our
desire for all to know Jesus that love is truly found and lived. That is all that is expected of us. . . to remain faithful to
what has been entrusted to us. Difficult, yes, but surely possible in the power of Jesus. The power by which we should
live this is outlined in the attribute of Mercy as called for by Our Holy Father Pope Francis in this Year of Mercy.
Compassion and love springs forth as the power of God. Read St. Paul’s letter and learn the power of love unrewarded.
Last week I announced the beginning of a Religious Education Board. Today I would like to inform you that I have
begun a Strategic Planning Committee. The focus of this committee is to assist me in future planning for the life of
our parish. Strategic Planning will look at the demographics, spiritual needs and growth of our parish. I am grateful
to the Committee members who share this ministry with me: John Bernic, Frank De Lucia, Marc de Venoge, Brian
Dunning, Rich Im, Ronald Joe, Valery Rodi and Muffin Sauvigne.
In Jesus,
Fr. Bob
The Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time | January 31, 2016
Stewards of God’s Gifts
Jeremiah declares that the Lord knew him before he was born and dedicated and appointed him to his role as
prophet even before he drew breath. We too, are known and sent by the Lord. What deeds of love and service are
mine to perform?
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who practice a spiritual work of mercy by having
Masses said for departed friends and loved ones, praying for the living and the dead.

The Schools of Saint Mary
Celebrating Winnie the Pooh Day
Ms. Orgera’s first grade class recently participated in Winnie the Pooh Day, the official holiday that celebrates the beloved main
character created by author AA Milne in 1926. The annual event in many libraries and schools across the country is held on January
18. The date was chosen because it is Milne’s birthday. At St. Mary’s, the first grade students commemorated the day by hosting
members of the Pre-K for a reading buddy activity.
Valentines for Vets
St. Mary’s High School students are continually reaching beyond the school
community to assist those in need. This year, members of the student body
have once again stepped up to participate in a special program called Valentines
for Vets. The program, launched nine years ago by Assemblywoman Michele
Schimel, is a district wide effort to show our local veterans who have served
our country have not been forgotten. The students collected personal care
items and clothing, and under the guidance of Mrs. Anita Didora from the
Social Studies Department the items were packaged and delivered this week
to Assemblywoman Schimel’s office in Great Neck. Once the program is
finished, the various items along with handmade Valentines are delivered to
the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook and the Northport VA
Medical Center.

Raftery, Sr. Elizabeth Mary Wallace, Sr. Constance Wilt. The Founders of the IHM
Sisters are Rev. Louis Florent Gillet, CSSR, and Mother Theresa Maxis Duchemin,
IHM, in the spirit of St. Alphonsus Liguori – and founded right here in the US. The
Mission of the Congregation is to follow Jesus as a community of disciples, aware that
they are sent to be a clear and understandable prophetic witness to the presence of
God in the world. Inspired by the missionary zeal of their Founders, they strive to be
faithful to their Charism, that is: to rejoice and to share in Jesus’ redemptive mission
to proclaim the Good News of God’s universal love and to recreate the face of the
earth. They are characterized by joyful, loving, hospitable, and self-emptying service to
the people of God. They engage in and sponsor a variety of ministries that meet contemporary needs and
foster the full development of human potential. Website: www.sistersofihm.org.

Our Brothers currently living in the Clapham Avenue Community include Bro. Ken Robert, Bro. Armand
Lamagna, Bro. Todd Patenaude. The Marists have St. Marcellin Champagnat as Founder – in war-torn
France in 1817. The Mission of the Marist Brothers is to make Jesus known and loved through the Christian
education of youth, especially the most neglected. They share a vocation together, living simple lives in
communities that serve others. They teach and guide the young toward a future rich in knowledge, service
to others, and strong spiritual values. They are educators, mentors, friends. Marist Brothers – real brothers,
real people, real stories, who make a real
