It is the hope of Saint Peter’s successor Pope Francis, that on this day “all the Baptized may experience the joy of belonging to the Church and rediscover that the Christian vocation, just like every particular vocation, is born from within the People of God, and is a gift of Divine Mercy.” The joy of belonging to the Church is something that finds its summit and source of expression in the encounter with Christ Jesus Risen from the dead. This is the way it was for His disciples fearful and doubting in the Upper Room, labouring on the Sea of Tiberias, and downcast on the Road to Emmaus. And this is the way it is for us, His disciples who, two thousand years after His Passion, Death, and Resurrection, come home for Sunday Mass and recognize - in the midst of our post 9/11 fears, our post Sandy tears, and our pre-Election doubts - “it is the Lord” in the breaking of the bread and there-in experience the Joy of belonging to the Church! In the midst of our Sunday-discovery, disciples of Christ can rediscover the universal call of Jesus to “follow Me”. Follow Me in your fidelity to your spouse. Follow Me in your obedience to your parents. Follow Me in your care for the least of My brethren: the elderly, the hungry, the naked, the thirsty, the homeless, the imprisoned, and the sick (please, if you haven’t yet answered the 2016 Catholic Ministries Appeal use the form on the following page and make your pledge today). Follow Me in your service to others as Doctors and Nurses. Follow Me in your defense of the basic human rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The Pope, in his Message for the 2016 World Day of Prayer for Vocations reminds us that the Christian vocation to follow Jesus is a gift. That awareness is what traditionally leads followers of Christ to ask: Lord, how can I put this gift at the service of not just those at home, work, school, or nation, but at the service of everyone? It is at this time writes the Pope, “after we have reached a certain maturity (that Christ) bestows on us a specific vocation”; namely Priesthood or Religious Life! If we are going to see today’s young Freeporters from Dodd Middle School and Freeport High School join the ranks of fellow Freeporters Sister Dorothy Lynch C.I.J., Monsignor Charles Swiger, Brother Pierre Toussaint, and Mr. Odalis Rodriguez in these “specific vocations”, then these young Freeporters must see old Freeporters who have reached a certain maturity, joyful in our membership and service to the Church.

X A MESSAGE FROM THE POPE X MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS ON THE OCCASION OF THE 53rd WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS Theme: The Church, Mother of Vocations Dear Brothers and Sisters, It is my great hope that, during the course of this Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, all the baptized may experience the joy of belonging to the Church and rediscover that the Christian vocation, just like every particular vocation, is born from within the People of God, and is a gift of divine mercy. The Church is the House of mercy, and it is the “soil” where vocations take root, mature and bear fruit. For this reason, on the occasion of the 53rd World Day of Prayer for Vocations, I invite all of you to reflect upon the apostolic community, and to give thanks for the role of the community in each person’s vocational journey. In the Bull of Induction for the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, I recalled the words of the venerable Saint Bede, describing the call of Saint Matthew: “Miserando atque eligendo” (Misericordiae Vultus, 8). The Lord’s merciful action forgives our sins and opens us to the new life which takes shape in the call to discipleship and mission. Each vocation in the Church has its origin in the compassionate gaze of Jesus. Conversion and vocation are two sides of the same coin, and continually remain interconnected throughout the whole of the missionary disciple’s life. Blessed Paul VI, in his exhortation Evangelii Nuntiandi, described various steps in the process of evangelization. One of these steps is belonging to the Christian community (cf. no. 23), that community from which we first received the witness of faith and the clear proclamation of the Lord’s mercy. This incorporation into the Christian community brings with it all the richness of ecclesial life, particularly the sacraments. Indeed, the Church is not only a place in which we believe, but it is also an object of our faith; it is for this reason that we profess in the Credo: “I believe in the Church”. The call of God comes to us by means of a mediation which is communal. God calls us to become a part of the Church and, after we have reached a certain maturity within it, he bestows on us a specific vocation. The vocational journey is undertaken together with the brothers and sisters whom the Lord has given to us: it is a con-vocation. The ecclesial dynamism of the call is an antidote to indifference and to individualism. It establishes the communion in which indifference is vanquished by love, because it demands that we go beyond ourselves and place our lives at the service of God’s plan, embracing the historical circumstances of His holy people. On this day dedicated to prayer for vocations, I urge all the faithful to assume their responsibility for the care and discernment of vocations. When the Apostles sought someone to take the place of Judas Iscariot, Saint Peter brought together one hundred and twenty of the brethren (cf. Acts 1:15); and in order to choose seven deacons, a group of disciples was gathered (cf. 6:2). Saint Paul gave Titus specific criteria for the selection of presbyters (cf. Titus 1:5-9). Still today, the Christian community is always present in the discernment of vocations, in their formation and in their perseverance (cf. Apost. Ex. Evangelii Gaudium, 107). Vocations are born within the Church. From the moment a vocation begins to become evident, it is necessary to have an adequate “sense” of the Church. No one is called exclusively for a particular region, or for a group or for an ecclesial movement, but rather for the Church and for the world. “A sure sign of the authenticity of a charism is its ecclesial character, its ability to be integrated harmoniously into the life of God’s holy and faithful people for the good Continued on the next page . . . of all” (ibid., 130). In responding to God’s call, young people see their own ecclesial horizon expand; they are able to consider various charisms and to undertake a more objective discernment. In this way, the community becomes the home and the family where vocations are born. Candidates gratefully contemplate this mediation of the community as an essential element for their future. They learn to know and to love their brothers and sisters who pursue paths different from their own; and these bonds strengthen in everyone the communion which they share. Vocations grow within the Church. In the course of formation, candidates for various vocations need to grow in their knowledge of the ecclesial community, overcoming the limited perspectives that we all have at the beginning. To that end, it is helpful to undertake some apostolic experience together with other members of the community, for example: in the company of a good catechist, to communicate the Christian message; together with a religious community, to experience the evangelization of the peripheries sharing in the life of the cloister, to discover the treasure of contemplation; in contact with missionaries, to know more closely the mission ad gentes; and in the company of diocesan priests, to deepen one’s experience of pastoral life in the parish and in the diocese. For those who are already in formation, the ecclesial community always remains the fundamental formational environment, towards which one should feel a sense of gratitude. Vocations are sustained by the Church. After definitive commitment, our vocational journey within the Church does not come to an end, but it continues in our willingness to serve, our perseverance and our ongoing formation. The one who has consecrated his life to the Lord is willing to serve the Church wherever it has need. The mission of Paul and Barnabas is a good example of this readiness to serve the Church. Sent on mission by the Holy Spirit and by the community of Antioch (cf. Acts 13, 1-4), they returned to that same community and described what the Lord had worked through them (cf. 14: 27). Missionaries are accompanied and sustained by the Christian community, which always remains a vital point of reference, just as a visible homeland offers security to all who are on pilgrimage towards eternal life. Among those involved in pastoral activity, priests are especially important. In their ministry, they fulfil the words of Jesus, who said: “I am the gate of the sheepfold […] I am the good shepherd” (Jn 10: 7, 11). The pastoral care of vocations is a fundamental part of their ministry. Priests accompany those who are discerning a vocation, as well as those who have already dedicated their lives to the service of God and of the community. All the faithful are called to appreciate the ecclesial dynamism of vocations, so that communities of faith can become, after the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary, like a mother’s womb which welcomes the gift of the Holy Spirit (cf. Lk 1: 35-38). The motherhood of the Church finds expression in constant prayer for vocations and in the work of educating and accompanying all those who perceive God’s call. This motherhood is also expressed through a careful selection of candidates for the ordained ministry and for the consecrated life. Finally, the Church is the mother of vocations in her continual support of those who have dedicated their lives to the service of others. We ask the Lord to grant to all those who are on a vocational journey a deep sense of belonging to the Church; and that the Holy Spirit may strengthen among Pastors, and all of the faithful, a deeper sense of communion, discernment and spiritual fatherhood and motherhood. Father of mercy, who gave Your Son for our salvation and Who strengthens us always with the gifts of Your Spirit, grant us Christian communities which are alive, fervent and joyous, which are fonts of fraternal life, and which nurture in the young the desire to consecrate themselves to You and to the work of evangelization. Sustain these communities in their commitment to offer appropriate vocational catechesis and ways of proceeding towards each one’s particular consecration. Grant the wisdom needed for vocational discernment, so that in all things the greatness of Your merciful love may shine forth. May Mary, Mother and guide of Jesus, intercede for each Christian community, so that, made fruitful by the Holy Spirit, it may be a source of true vocations for the service of the holy People of God.

The eighth graders of The De La Salle School are engaged in their own version of March Madness this month too. Although it pertains to colleges it is not occurring in the gym, but rather in the Assembly Room and instead of a basketball on hardwood it involves a PowerPoint presentation on a SMARTBoard. Each of the fifteen members of the class selected a college or university in which they are interested and prepared a brief synopsis of the school and shared it with the other members of our school community. Catholic schools like the College of the Holy Cross, well known schools like Stanford University, state schools like Mary Washington College, and schools far away like the University of Miami were among those presented. Since our students will most likely be the first in their family to attend college it is helpful for them to learn some vocabulary associated with higher education and to fuel their aspirations so they are not hesitant to dream big. 17 April 2016 – The Fourth Sunday of Easter C Sunday Readings: Acts XIII: 14, 43-52; Revelation VII: 9, 14b-17; Saint John X: 27-30 Student’s Name: ____________________________________________________ Class Day/Session: __________________________________________________ Catechist Name: ____________________________________________________ Mass Time (Circle One): Sat: 5:00 PM 7:00 PM Sun: 7:00 AM 8:00 AM 9:30 AM 11:30 AM 1:00 PM 5:00 PM GOSPEL QUESTIONS: (Religious Education Students please answer ALL questions, cut and give to teacher weekly.

Last summer Our Holy Redeemer sponsored our second concert series at 175 Woodcleft Avenue, also home of our weekly "Mass on the Waterfront". Under the direction of Michael Crouse, we provided six evenings of wonderful and varied entertainment, culminating with a sacred and secular program performed by members of the Our Holy Redeemer Choir and the “Greater Voices of Praise Choir” from the Greater Second Baptist Church of Freeport. Other evenings featured artists such as These Three Tenors, the Freeport High School Alumni, the Voices, and more. Many in attendance have been asking if we are going to do it again...and the answer is...with your help...YES! We are asking for both your input and your donations to raise enough funds to once again support this summer's series. At the end of this page there are a few questions that will help us to plan the best evenings for these programs, so that as many of you as possible may attend. We also plan to create another decorative plaque with the names of each person, business, or family who donates $100.00 dollars (or more) towards the funding of the series, which will be displayed throughout the concert series at 175 Woodcleft Avenue. We hope many more will take advantage of these wonderful evenings of music, and we need your help in spreading the word! It would be of great assistance if you would take the time to answer the following questions, and then return the questionnaire to the rectory by _________________________: 1. Were you able to attend any of the concerts last summer? If yes, how many? _________ Did you find it an enjoyable evening? 2. If no, were you unavailable on Wednesday evenings? Yes No Yes No Yes No Check the best evening for you to attend: Monday Tuesday Wednesday (We must avoid the busy weekends. For the past three years, the Freeport Art's Council has provided a program on Thursday evenings.) 3. Would you be willing to make a donation to help support the series? Yes No If yes, would you be willing to donate $100.00 or more, and have your name remembered on our decorative plaque? Yes No If yes, amount of donation: $_________________________________ 4.

Why, do we need to hear His voice? As Jesus said: “My sheep hear My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish” (See John 10:27-30). As Jesus plainly states, in order to receive eternal life we need to hear His voice. We need to be among His sheep. Where and how does Jesus speak to us? In many places and in many different ways: When we come to Mass, whenever we read or listen to Scripture being read, He is speaking to us. If we listen, that is, if we obey, we are hearing His voice. He also speaks to us in our brothers and sisters, particularly in those who are the neediest. Have you contributed yet to the 2016 Catholic Ministries Appeal? This would be one good way to show that we are listening to His voice. It is worthwhile for as He says of those who listen to Him: “I give them eternal life.” FAITH AND SOCIAL MINISTRY HUMAN SERVICES OUR HOLY REDEEMER (516) 868-8289 Thanks be to God for the Spirit of Generosity that inspires you to help us to do the Lord’s work in Freeport! 23 West Merrick Road, Freeport, NY SHOPPING HOURS: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: 10:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 1:45 p.m. Closed every Wednesday Your generosity will help us to continue to do the Lord’s work in Freeport!

AND HOMOSEXUALITY FAITH AND PORNOGRAPHY Courage is a group of Catholic men and women who experience same-sex attractions and who are committed to helping one another to live chaste lives marked by prayer, fellowship and mutual support. Their members are guided by caring priest chaplains who offer reconciliation and direction for the spiritual life. Together they pursue the Five Goals of Courage, which were developed by the first Courage group in New York City in 1980 and still guide all of our meetings and work: The goals are read at the start of each meeting and each member is called to practice them in daily life. Here are the Goals in their entirety: 1. To live chaste lives in accordance with the Roman Catholic Church’s teaching on homosexuality. (Chastity) 2. To dedicate our entire lives to Christ through service to others, spiritual reading, prayer, meditation, individual spiritual direction, frequent attendance at Mass, and the frequent reception of the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. (Prayer and Dedication) 3. To foster a spirit of fellowship in which we may share with one another our thoughts and experiences, and so ensure that no one will have to face the problems of homosexuality alone. (Fellowship) 4. To be mindful of the truth that chaste friendships are not only possible but necessary in a chaste Christian life; and to encourage one another in forming and sustaining these friendships. (Support) 5. To live lives that may serve as good examples to others. (Good Example/Role Model) They presently have a men’s group in Nassau County. Please call (516) 623-1400, ext. 190 and leave your name and phone number and someone will get back to you, or email [email protected]. Confidentiality and anonymity are assured.

PRIVATE AND ANONYMOUS ONLINE HELP 24/7 Many people have found themselves suffering with an addiction to pornography. God says, “My saving power will rise on you like the sun and bring healing like the sun’s rays” (Malachi 4:2). You CAN overcome pornography and other unhealthy sexual behaviors with help from RECLAIM Sexual Health (Visit their website www. ReclaimsexualHealth.com). Get help for yourself or help others. It is the latest Brain Science cutting-edge technology. The Brain Science of Change & Theology of the Body is God’s way out. In 1 Corinthians 10:13 it says, “No trial has come to you but what is human, God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial He will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.” Pornography is an addiction. It enslaves the soul and deep shame is connected to it but healing and recovery is possible. If you or someone you know has a porn addiction, please log onto the Reclaim website at: www.IntegrityRestored.com. Here you will learn about the pornography epidemic in America and how porn affects men, women, children and teens. You will learn about the addictiveness of pornography and the recovery process. The website takes a unique approach by incorporating Catholic spirituality into the recovery process. Porn reduces the human person to an object for one’s selfish pleasure which is in direct opposition to the beauty of the whole human person that God created in His image and likeness.

MENSAJE DEL PASTOR 17 DE ABRIL DE 2016 ÉL RESUCITARÁ ¡“El Poderoso ha hecho grandes cosas por mí”! (San Lucas I, 49) Hace dos mil años esas palabras surgieron del Corazón Inmaculado de María. Hoy, esas palabras surgen del corazón agradecido del Padre Arcoleo. Entre las grandes cosas que el Poderoso ha hecho por mí está el llamado que me hizo por boca de Jesús: “Sígueme”; un llamado que después de muchos años de ir en pos del amor en los lugares equivocados, y en demasiados rostros, me llevó al Sacerdocio, donde de hecho he hallado el amor verdadero: en muchos rostros y en muchos lugares. Lo encontré entre los Sacerdotes y feligreses de San Patricio / Smithtown, donde pasé mis primeros cinco años (1998 – 2003) después de la Ordenación. Lo encontré entre los Sacerdotes y feligreses de San Ignacio Loyola / Hicksville donde pasé mis segundos cinco años en el Sacerdocio. Y lo estoy encontrando día tras día en mi primera asignación como Pastor en Nuestro Santo Redentor / Freeport donde el Lunes de Pascua del 2016 recibí la noticia de que David Arcoleo, hijo de Joan y Frank, padre de Devin, Trevor y Lauren, y hermano de Debbie, Diane y de su servidor había fallecido súbitamente en el “Campamento David” / su hogar en Bayville, New York. Las nuevas de la muerte de David rápidamente se propagaron por todas partes e igualmente de rápido llegaron las expresiones de pésame que les proveerían a la familia y amigos todo lo que necesitaban para andar en Fe durante esos momentos difíciles. Monseñor Murphy se enteró mientras estaba en el avión en JFK preparándose para el despego rumbo a un retiro sacerdotal en Roma y Asís, y prometió que él y los sacerdotes de la diócesis que lo acompañaban ofrecerían una Misa por el reposo del alma de David al día siguiente. Garantías similares llegaron de Monseñor Brennan y de Monseñor James McNamara; los cuales viajaban con Monseñor Murphy. Estos pésames prepararon el escenario para los cientos más que seguirían tanto en línea como por correo normal (“¿Y qué se puede decir de la línea de dolientes en Hungerford and Clark?”) ¡y de otros lugares en el extranjero como China y Londres, y de casi de todos los estados, y pueblos, ciudades y villas de Long Island, entre las que se encontraban Amityville, Dix Hills, Bayville, Bohemia, Garden City, Smithtown, Hicksville, y por supuesto la Villa de Freeport! Nuestro Santo Redentor ha sido mi hogar desde hace casi ocho años y durante el Velorio y la Misa Funeral de David, tanto los feligreses como los visitantes pudieron ver de primera mano porqué “venir a casa es importante” y qué es lo que hace que nuestra iglesia sea “absolutamente hermosa”: ¡es el Señor! El Señor quien durante el Velorio se acercó y abrazó a los padres, hijos, familiares y amigos de David con el Amor que cada uno de nosotros buscaba; el amor que todos estaban buscando (vea San Maracos 1:37). Fue el Señor quien con la ayuda de los Sacerdotes, Diáconos, Religiosos, Servidores del Altar, el Cantor, el Músico, los ujieres y la asamblea reunida ofrecieron el Santo Sacrificio de la Misa y nos alimentó con el amor que le roba el aguijón a la muerte y la despoja de su victoria (vea 1 Corintios XV:55). Y aunque algunos entre nosotros hubiéramos querido que se repitiera lo que sucedió hace dos mil años, tres días después de enterrar el cuerpo de Cristo, sabíamos que eso no iba a pasar: por lo menos todavía no. ¡Pero el día vendrá (nos asegura nuestra Fe) en que David resucitará y la increíble cantidad de apoyo que hemos recibido y estamos recibiendo de Nuestro Santo Redentor en Freeport y de muchos otros lugares, nos permite creer en la resurrección de David sin tener que verla! ¡Gracias!, ¡Sí, el Poderoso ha hecho grandes cosas por mí aquí en Freeport! REFLEXIÓN SEMANAL ¿Ha escuchado usted la voz de Jesús? El hecho de que usted está leyendo esto es una buena indicación de que sí lo ha hecho. ¿Por qué necesitamos oír su voz? Como dijo Jesús: “Mis ovejas escuchan mi voz y yo les doy vida eterna. Nunca perecerán” (Vea Juan 10:27-30). Jesús nos dice claramente que a fin de recibir vida eterna tenemos que escuchar Su voz. Necesitamos contarnos entre Sus ovejas. ¿Dónde y cómo escuchamos Su voz? En muchos lugares y de maneras muy diferentes: Cuando venimos a Misa, cuando leemos o escuchamos las Escrituras. Si escuchamos, es decir, si obedecemos, estamos escuchando su voz. Él también nos habla por medio de nuestros hermanos y hermanas, particularmente mediante los más necesitados. ¿Ha contribuido usted ya a la Campaña de los Ministerios Católicos para el 2016? Esa es otra excelente manera de mostrar que hemos escuchado Su voz. Vale la pena hacerlo pues como Él dice de los que lo escuchan: “Yo les doy vida eterna.” El comenzó a Enseñarles Muchas Cosas El comenzó a Enseñarles Muchas Cosas Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo 2627 Dos formas fundamentales expresan este movimiento: o bien la oración asciende llevada por el Espíritu Santo, por medio de Cristo hacia el Padre (nosotros le bendecimos por habernos bendecido; cf Ef 1, 3-14; 2 Co 1, 3-7; 1 P 1, 3-9); o bien implora la gracia del Espíritu Santo que, por medio de Cristo, desciende de junto al Padre (es Él quien nos bendice; cf 2 Co 13, 13; Rm 15, 5-6. 13; Ef 6, 23-24).
