 A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR 
Yes Virginia, There IS a 5:00 P.M. Mass on Sunday
Christmas Season 2015-2016 came and went but not
before the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, after the
5:00 P.M. Saturday Mass celebrating the Feast of the
Lord’s Baptism, gathered over fifty people at Grover’s
Dock on the Nautical Mile in Freeport for “Christmas
Caroling with cookies, cocoa, and coffee at the Creche in
the cold”. What a wonderful way to say goodbye to the
Christmas Season. Please join me in thanking the
Catholic Daughters of the Americas, and the friends of
Our Holy Redeemer (the Grovers, the Gallants, Les Endo,
Lee Sparaco, and John Talty) who helped anyone and everyone passing by 175 Woodcleft Avenue to see
what Christmas is all about throughout the entire Christmas Season!
The Spirit of Generosity that beautified 175 Woodcleft Avenue
this past Christmas also transformed the absolutely beautiful
church at 37 South Ocean Avenue. That Spirit moved many of
our registered parishioners to fill their annual “Flower Offering”
envelope with more than enough treasure for us to purchase
red and white poinsettia plants that “(two nights) before
Christmas when all through the (church)”, Dianne and Bruce
Wimbiscus, Joann Flaherty, Jane Dengel, Marlene Rangel, Judy
Germaine, and Father Alessandro placed with Nativity statues in
their proper perch. As we begin the Second Week in Ordinary Time, many of those plants can still be found
gracing the church sanctuary: that preeminent place of prayer where we find closeness with God.
All of us long to feel that closeness with God! There are times when that feeling escapes us and we are
tempted to lose faith, to lose trust in God’s closeness. At these times we need to remain steadfast in faith,
in the certainty of the truth and in full trust in God. We need to cry out and express our need for help and
appeal to the other’s faithfulness; “crying out means making an act of faith in God’s closeness and in His
willingness to listen” (cf. Benedict XVI, General Audience, 7 September 2011).
When that feeling of closeness of God escapes us, might I (with our Pope Emeritus)
encourage you to turn to Mary as they did at Cana. “Mary” writes Benedict XVI,
“shares in this closeness of God. Being in God and with God, she is close to each one
of us, knows our hearts, can hear our prayers, can help us with her Motherly kindness,
and has been given to us, as the Lord said, precisely as a “mother” to whom we can
turn at every moment” (Benedict XVI, Homily, 15 August 2005): at a wedding/Cana; at
a Birth/Christmas; at a 5:00 P.M. Mass on a Sunday during the Extraordinary Jubilee of
Mercy (8 December 2015 – 20 November 2016).

EIGHT DAYS OF PRAYER
FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
(18 January 2016 – 25 January 2016)
Day I: Let the Stone be Rolled Away - Lord Jesus, You have always loved us from
the beginning, and You have shown the depth of Your love in dying for us on the Cross
and thereby sharing our sufferings and wounds. At this moment, we lay all the obstacles
that separate us from Your love at the foot of Your Cross. Roll back the stones which
imprison us. Awaken us to Your Resurrection morning. There may we meet the brothers
and sisters from whom we are separated. Amen.
Day II: Called to be Messengers of Joy - God of love, look upon our willingness to serve You despite our spiritual
poverty and limited abilities. Fulfill the deepest longings of our hearts with Your presence. Fill our broken hearts with Your
healing love so that we may love as You have loved us. Grant us the gift of unity so that we may serve You with joy and
share Your love with all. This we ask in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Day III: The Witness of Fellowship - Lord Jesus, Who prayed that we might all be one, we pray to You for the unity of
Christians according to Your will, according to Your means. May Your Spirit enable us to experience the suffering caused
by division, to see our sin and to hope beyond all hope. Amen.
Day IV: A Priestly People Called to Proclaim the Gospel - Lord Jesus, You said that everyone will know that we
are Your disciples if there is love among us. Strengthened by Your grace, may we work tirelessly for the visible unity of
Your Church, so that the Good News that we are called to proclaim will be seen in all our words and deeds. Amen.
Day V: The Fellowship of the Apostles - God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may You give to all
Christians, and especially to those entrusted with leadership in Your Church, the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that with
the eyes of our hearts we may see the hope to which You have called us: one body and one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, one
baptism, one God and Father of all, Who is above and through all and in all. Amen.
Day VI: Listen to this Dream - Heavenly Father, grant us humility to hear Your voice, to receive Your call, and to share
Your dream for the unity of the Church. Help us to be awake to the pain of disunity. Where division has left us with hearts
of stone, may the fire of Your Holy Spirit inflame our hearts and inspire us with the vision of being one in Christ, as he is one
with You, so that the world may believe that You have sent Him. This we ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Day VII: Hospitality for Prayer - Lord Jesus, You asked Your Apostles to stay awake with You and to pray with You.
May we offer the world protected times and spaces in which to find refreshment and peace, so that praying together with
other Christians we may come to know You more deeply. Amen.
Day VIII: Hearts Burning for Unity - Lord Jesus, You have made our hearts burn within us, and have sent us back
upon the road towards our brothers and sisters, with the Gospel message on our lips. Help us to see that hope and
obedience to Your commands always lead to the greater unity of Your people. Amen.

NEWS FROM THE DE LA SALLE SCHOOL
(516) 379-8660
Last week in this space you read about an activity at The De La
Salle School that referenced STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math) education. This week we expand the curriculum and
add an A to form STEAM. The A refers to Arts and includes music and art.
At the Advent Prayer Service last month our student body constituted a choir,
having been prepared by our music teacher, Mrs. Margo Rainone. During the
singing of Little Drummer Boy some students demonstrated the percussion
skills they learned. The Albert Neal, Sr. Arts Fund helped cover some costs
associated with that activity.
www.stmartinmarianist.org
Mr. Alex Vera, our art teacher, has guided our students through a variety of
projects. Two that are currently underway are special. One involves making
screen prints and the other consists of creating sculpture with paper mache.
These activities are special because a grant from the Long Island Arts Council
at Freeport has provided the materials. For the work with paper mache we
are fortunate to have the services of Ms. Laurie Horowitz an Artist in
Residence also made possible through the Long Island Arts Council at
Freeport.
A Marianist Elementary School:
Grades Pre-K through 8
Our students are enjoying these opportunities for creative expression. Full
STEAM ahead!

What do you do when inclement weather or sickness
prevents you from attending Sunday Mass at Our Holy
Redeemer, or family/business obligations take you to
Sunday Mass somewhere other than Our Holy
Redeemer? More than likely, if you use Parish
Envelopes to make your offering, you will place “Sunday-missed” envelopes in the Offertory
basket the next time you attend Mass. If you don’t use envelopes, it is more than likely that
your Sunday-missed offering will remain missing. It is not that you intentionally choose to give Our Holy Redeemer
less, it’s just hard to intentionally give to Our Holy Redeemer what you think is more. “Stop thinking”; use envelopes
or use E-Giving! E-Giving, like Offertory Envelopes (thank you for using them) provides you with
a way of exercising faithful stewardship even when inclement weather or sickness prevents you
from attending Sunday Mass at Our Holy Redeemer, or when family/business obligations take
you to Sunday Mass somewhere other than Our Holy Redeemer.
For more information about E-Giving either call the Rectory or visit the secure web site at

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
From its very beginning as today’s Gospel shows, (see John 2:1-11) the Church has honored
Marriage as a Holy Institution. Jesus is present at the Marriage Feast in Cana. During that
wedding feast He performed His first miracle. But there is more, His Blessed Mother, Mary,
and His disciples are there also. It is very clear—Marriage is Holy—and we should consider
it so. But there is much more here; notice that Mary is the one that tells Jesus that their
wine (symbol of joy) is gone, prompting Jesus to make His first miracle. No question then
that the Blessed Mother also honors the institution of Marriage and is an Advocate in
behalf of married couples, always praying to her Divine Son so that joy may never fail in
their lives. This Gospel then calls us to honor this institution both in our personal and family
lives. It challenges us to do all we can to turn water into wine, that is, to do all we can to ensure the joy of both
the members of our families and our neighbors.
MORE FAITH AND PRAYER
Please Pray for Our Priests
O God, Who made Your Only Begotten Son eternal High Priest, grant that those He has chosen as ministers and
stewards of Your mysteries may be found faithful in carrying out the ministry they have received. Through our Lord
Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

– LA FE Y EL AÑO JUBILAR - 20 NOVIEMBRE 2016
 MENSAJE DEL PASTOR 
Después que Jesús fue bautizado por San Juan Bautista, el cielo se
abrió y el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre Él en forma corporal, como
una paloma (San Lucas III, 21-22a). Ese mismo Espíritu sigue
descendiendo sobre Freeport y haciendo grandes cosas para
nosotros. Está (como puede leer en otras secciones del boletín)
moviendo empresas locales como el Lavado de coches Merrick y el
Restaurante Azuma a ofrecer descuentos a los feligreses. Se está
moviendo en organizaciones como la Fundación D'Brickashaw
Ferguson (y también en muchos feligreses) para donar fondos para
nuestro "Ascensor" que pronto proporcionará el acceso a nuestra
iglesia de la planta baja a los que les es difícil negociar las escaleras. ¡Y
movió a una familia de Nuestro Santo Redentor a donar el exterior de inspiración Navideña que ha
aparecido en el 175 de la Avenida Woodcleft durante las temporadas de Adviento y Navidad! (Aquí tengo
que ofrecer gracias a Dios, por las aportaciones para la Escena Navideña del exterior dadas por el Sr. John
Talty, el Sr. Les Endo, y el Sr. Lee Sparaco.) En todas estas cosas es como si el Padre siguiera diciendo a
Nuestro Santo Redentor: “Tú eres mi Hijo amado. En Ti me complazco.” (San Lucas III:22b).
Nuestro Santo Redentor siempre está a la busca de oportunidades para complacer el Padre; especialmente
“las enlazadas con el Sacramento de la Reconciliación y la celebración de la Santa Eucaristía”. Es por eso
que en 2009, inspirados por el Papa Benedicto XVI y el Año de los Sacerdotes, añadimos la Misa de las 7:00
AM al horario de misas dominicales. Es por eso que en 2016, inspirados por el Jubileo de la Misericordia
hemos añadido una Misa a las 5:00 PM los primeros domingos del mes y una hora adicional (4:00 PM A
5:00 PM) de confesiones todos los viernes. Es mi esperanza que muchos de los que vengan a casa para
estos Sacramentos, escuchen “la voz del Cielo decir: “Eres Mi amado hijo en el cual me complazco” (San
Lucas III:22b) y en las palabras del Papa Francisco: “obtengan el perdón verdadero y generoso del Padre
que nos renueva con Su Presencia.”
Complacer al Padre debe ser la meta de todo el que fue ungido en su Bautismo con el Espíritu Santo. Esa
aspiración llevará a sus Sacerdotes una hora adicional a la semana en el Confesionario y a una hora
adicional al mes en el Altar; que pudiera convertirse en una hora adicional a la semana. Es la esperanza de
sus Sacerdotes que ustedes también aspiren a complacer al Padre y se comprometan a ofrecerle una
hora adicional por semana viniendo a casa a nuestra Capilla de Adoración Perpetua. “El compromiso de
ustedes con la Capilla de Adoración Perpetua (escribió Monseñor Murphy en conmemoración del
centenario de nuestra Parroquia) es un testimonio de que todas las actividades de su parroquia fluyen de
su vida de oración.” ¡Así era en el 2003; así es ahora en el 2016; y así será durante el Año Jubilar (8 de
diciembre de 2015 al 20 de noviembre del 2016) y más allá!
Utilice el boletín de hoy para seleccionar "el día de la semana" y "la hora del día" en los que pueda volver a
casa a "velar y orar" con Nuestro Santo Redentor en nuestra Capilla de Adoración Perpetua. Con su hora en
la Capilla, y nuestras horas adicionales de Confesión y Misas, juntos vamos a ayudar – en las palabras del
Papa Francisco a- "lograr que la celebración del Año Santo sea para todos los creyentes un verdadero
momento de encuentro con la misericordia de Dios ... una experiencia viva de la cercanía del Padre ... una
verdadera experiencia de la misericordia de Dios.”

2615 Más todavía, lo que el Padre nos da cuando nuestra oración está unida a la de Jesús, es “otro Paráclito, [...] para que esté con
vosotros para siempre, el Espíritu de la verdad” (Jn 14, 16-17). Esta novedad de la oración y de sus condiciones aparece en todo el
discurso de despedida (cf Jn 14, 23-26; 15, 7. 16; 16, 13-15; 16, 23-27). En el Espíritu Santo, la oración cristiana es comunión de amor con
el Padre, no solamente por medio de Cristo, sino también en Él: “Hasta ahora nada le habéis pedido en mi Nombre. Pedid y recibiréis para
que vuestro gozo sea perfecto” (Jn 16, 24).

Reflexión Semanal
Desde su propio comienzo como lo muestra el Evangelio de hoy, (vea Juan 2:1-11) la iglesia ha
honrado el matrimonio como una institución santa. Jesús está presente en la Fiesta Matrimonial de
Cana. Es ahí que Él realiza su primer milagro. Pero hay más, María y sus discípulos también estaban
presentes. Esto no deja dudas—el matrimonio es algo sagrado—así deberíamos considerarlo todos.
Pero hay mucho más. Note que María es la que le dice a Jesús que Él vino (símbolo del gozo) se había
acabado lo cual resulta en el primer milagro de Jesús. No hay duda entonces de que nuestra Santa
Madre también honra la institución matrimonial y de que ella aboga a favor de las parejas casadas
intercediendo por ellos ante su Divino Hijo a fin de que el gozo nunca falte en sus vidas. Este
Evangelio pues nos llama a honrar esta institución tanto en nuestra vida personal como en nuestra vida familiar. Nos
desafía a hacer todo lo que podemos para asegurar el gozo tanto de nuestra familia como de nuestros prójimos.

DO WHATEVER
HE
TELLS YOU
There was a wedding at Cana in
Galilee, and the mother of
Jesus was there. Jesus and His
disciples were also invited to
the wedding. When the wine
ran short, the mother of Jesus
said to Him, “They have no
wine.” And Jesus said to her,
“Woman, how does your concern
affect Me? My hour has not
yet come.” His mother said to
the servers, “Do whatever He
tells you.” Now there were six
stone water jars there for
Jewish ceremonial washings,
each holding twenty to thirty
gallons. Jesus told them, “Fill
the jars with water.” So they
filled them to the brim.
