May 26th, 2013 The Most Holy Trinity 4
Dear friends,
This weekend marks Memorial Day. We remember all those who served this
Country in uniform in any war, and did not return home.
The observance began as “Decoration Day”. It was instituted in response to the
then-unprecedented trauma of the Civil War and the huge casualties, all American, of
that war. Graves of fallen Civil War soldiers would be “decorated” on May 30th.
In our own time, the observance has been given a movable date and honors all the
dead of all the Armed Forces who lost their lives on active service in time of war and
conflict. Its roll of honored dead now stretches from Lexington and Concord in 1775 right down to
Baghdad and Kandahar in 2013.
While it marks the unofficial start of summer, we have less reason to forget than ever. The
memories of war are indeed very fresh for us this year. Our troops still serve all over the world, from
Germany to Korea. Our fleets patrol all the seas of the earth, and Air Force aircraft stand ready on a
moment’s notice to deploy. As a free people, we have the right to debate, discuss, and disagree with
the decisions and actions of our government; and yet we must all agree to honor in grateful thought
and in prayer those who gave their lives to ensure we have that freedom.
It would be foolish, in my opinion, to hold that every war the United States has fought has
been just and worthwhile. No less a military statesman than Ulysses S. Grant stated in his Memoirs
that the war against Mexico in the 1840’s was unjust; and opened the door to the Civil War. Yet, in
this century, again allowing for legitimate debate, can anyone be failed to be touched by the response
of former Secretary of State Colin Powell to the implication that America was “imperialist” that the
only land we ask for after a victory is just enough “to bury our dead”?
“They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old…At the rising and the going down of the
sun… we shall remember them.”
Also, we are moved by the beautiful Liturgies that saw hundreds of our children receive First
Holy Communion this month. Anyone who wants to see the life of this Parish, or who doubts that
life, just “come and see” the wonders the Lord does in the souls of His children.
God’s blessings,
Fr. Hewes
Special Mass on June 2nd, Corpus Christi Sunday.
This year, on Sunday, June 2nd, at the 12:30 PM Mass we will continue our recent tradition of offering a special Missa Cantata or “Sung Mass” in the Extraordinary Form of
the Roman Rite, or traditional Latin High Mass followed by Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament. The powerful and beautiful music of our Catholic tradition ( Gregorian
Chant, polyphony, and Mozart’s Ave Verum) will be featured. The Eucharistic Blessing
will be intended to reach our entire community as well.

evening, June 11 th, we will have registration until 8 :OOPM for those who cannot get here during the day. A copy

Summer Program helper is Wednesday, June 5, 2013 from 7-8PM in Msgr. Goggin Hall.
FIRST COMMUNION - SPECIAL THANKS
Our First Holy Communions were wonderful but that was only possible with the collaborative effort
of so many. Our special thanks to Fr. Hewes who celebrated the six Masses and made each Mass memorable for the
children and their families. We are grateful to Fr. Chadwick and Fr. Raymond and to Sister Kay, the Lectors, the
Altar Servers, The Knights of ColumbuslUshers and the Eucharistic Ministers. I'd like to thank our Children's Music
Ministry - Nicole Nicholson, Director and Joseph Smaldino, our Organist, who added to the beauty of each Communion.
We can't forget Luis Flores, Plant Engineer, who kept us comfortable during these past few weeks
and who is always helpful to the Religious Education Department. A great big 'Thank You" to the following
teachers, who so happily gave their time each week at rehearsals and at the Communion Masses: Sr. Benarda,
Gloria Montesano, Olga Mantione, Anne Nicholls, Becky Muraco and Carmela Sposato, our second grade coordinator, who gives endlessly to Religious Education.
Last, but not least, I'd like to recognize Rita Minder, whose contributions have helped to
make our Religious Education Program successful. Her dedication, deep commitment to the children and
sense of humor, makes working together a real joy.

Spiritual Adoption Program
HAPPY BIRTHDAY – SPIRITUALLY
ADOPTED BABY!
Your spiritually adopted baby is born this month - - nine
months after his/her mother conceived him/her. The only
change at birth is a change in the external life support system
of the baby. He/she is no different now than he/she before
birth except that he breathes and eats differently. He/she is
truly a miracle. He/she began as a 46-chromosome cell and
has developed over the past nine months into this unique human baby. Never before in history, nor ever again, will anyone
exist who is just like your spiritually adopted baby. Your prayers saved his/her life. Thank you on behalf of all of the little
babies that you cared enough to pray for him/her and his/her
mother.

SENIOR NEWS Young Energetic Seniors
What a great time we had at our first annual "Pound Auction" Thank you to all those who contributed the
items to be auctioned, to those who bid on them sight unseen (rather brave) and to Rose, our auctioneer,
who made it such a fun filled event.
On June 18th we will be going for the first time as a group, to "Resort World Casino" (Aqueduct). The cost is
$30.00 with a $20 give back and $5 food voucher. This trip is perfect for those who had to forgo casino trips
due to the long bus ride. We are trying this for the first time and if it works, there will be another soon.
Departure time is at 10:00 am.
On June 13 we will have a representative from the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. He will speak on
Avoiding Senior Scams. Do not miss this meeting. and bring a friend.
Memorial Day is coming. Wear your colors and fly your flags. Pray for all those who are ill and for their loving
caregivers. Remember always our Military and their families.
God Bless America
See you in Church, Pat

ATTENTION SENIORS
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
As seniors, we seem to be prime targets for dishonest people whose main objective
is to separate us from our money. I personally know of two instances where perfectly intelligent people were scammed for thousands of dollars.
On June 13d., we will have a speaker from the Retired Senior Volunteer Program.
The subject will be "Avoiding Senior Scams"
Please do not miss this opportunity to learn how to gain the advantage over these
predators. Do not think that you are too smart to be a -victim. Pass the word and bring
a friend. You do not need to be a Senior to attend. They want any ones money, not
just the Seniors. The savings that you save may be your own.
