From the Pastor’s Desk…
Raised By The Church - chronicles the extraordinary life of Ed Rohs, a bright, mischievous boy who was raised in five institutions of the Catholic orphanage system in postwar
Brooklyn, New York, from infancy in 1946 until he was discharged as an adult in 1965. Rohs
was one of thousands of children taken in by Catholic institutions during the tumultuous post
WW 11 years, out of wedlock infants, children whose fathers had been killed in the war, and
children of parents in crisis.
When Ed finally left the institution after nineteen years, he had a difficult time adjusting.
He slowly assimilated into “normal” life and determinedly rose above his origins, achieving an
advanced degree and career success, working for years in child welfare and volunteering as
strength coach for the Fordham University basketball team.
With original research based on interviews with clergymen and nuns, archival data from
the New York Archdiocese and government records, Raised by the Church tells the social history of an era when hundreds of thousands of baby boomers passed through the orphanage
system.
Ed Rohs will hold a book signing next weekend - June 22 & 23 - in the Church vestibule.
The cost of the book is $20. Proceeds will go to the Sisters of Mercy.

Remember When?
This year we have planned quite a few events to celebrate our 100th anniversary as a parish. Most of the
events have been for the adults of the parish. Monsignor Cassato wanted to hold a special event that the children
and young adults could enjoy. He wanted a day that all age groups will remember for years to come. And he doesn’t disappoint!
On Friday June 21, 2013 starting at 5:30pm, Saint Athanasius will hold a youth event that will never again
be duplicated. There will be rides for the young children, free food and lots of entertainment. DJ Scribble and Perfect Entertainment will provide the music. The night will be hosted by KTU’s Cindy Vero. Special guests include
Da Cave and Reina whose hit song “If I Close My Eyes”, is well known to music lovers. The night will also feature
two (2) shows featuring the well-known motivational speaker Joe Manno. He will address the issue of “bullying” to
both the young children and then to the older groups. This will be held in the auditorium.
The night will end with a 3-D light show that will illuminate the outside of the Church and then
topped off with a firework show. Don’t miss this very special show with its music and special effects. This night has
been planned so that the young children and adults will keep it forever in their memories

OGGI, DOMENICA 16 GIUGNO
AUGURIA TUTTI I PADRE PER UNA FELICE FESTA
Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA
Riflessione del mese di giugno
IN UNA INTERVISTA
DELLA TV AMERICANA, JANE CLAYSON
(continuo della scorsa domenica)
Ora ci chiediamo come mai i nostri figli non hanno coscienza e non sanno distinguere ciò che è giusto da
ciò che è sbagliato.
Probabilmente, se ci pensiamo bene noi raccogliamo
ciò che abbiamo seminato.
Buffo come è semplice per la gente gettare Dio nell'immondizia e meravigliarsi perché il mondo sta andando
all'inferno. Buffo come crediamo a quello che dicono i
giornali, ma contestiamo ciò che dice la Bibbia.
Buffo come tutti vogliono andare in Paradiso, ma al
tempo stesso non vogliono credere, pensare e fare
niente di ciò che dice la Bibbia. Buffo come si mandino
migliaia di barzellette via e-mail che si propagano
come un incendio, ma quando si incomincia a mandare messaggi che riguardano il Signore, le persone ci
pensano due volte a scambiarseli.
Buffo come tutto ciò che è indecente, scabroso, volgare e osceno circoli liberamente nel cyberspazio,
mentre le discussioni pubblicate su Dio siano state
soppresse a scuola o sul posto di lavoro.
Buffo come a natale nelle scuole la recità per i genitori
non possa più essere sulla natività ed al suo posto
venga proposta una favola di WaltDisney.
Buffo come si stia casa dal lavoro per una festività
religiosa, e non si conosca nemmeno quale sia la ricorrenza. Buffo come qualcuno possa infervorarsi
tanto per Cristo la domenica, mentre è di fatto un cristiano invisibile durante il resto della settimana.
Buffo che quando inoltri questo messaggio tu non ne
dia una copia a molti di quelli che sono nella tua lista
degli indirizzi perché non sei sicuro del loro credo o di
cosa penseranno di te per il fatto di averglielo mandato. Buffo come posso essere più preoccupato di ciò
che pensa la gente di me piuttosto che di ciò che Dio
pensa di me.

XI DOMINGO ORDINARIO
16 DE JUNIO DE 2013
“DIOS NOS AMÓ PRIMERO Y ENVIÓ A SU HIJO COMO VICTIMA POR
NUESTROS PECADOS
El Evangelio se nos relata la historia del Fariseo y Jesús.
Aquella mujer sedienta de misericordia y perdon interviene en casa del Fariseo y como muestra de agradecimiento a Jesús unge sus pies con lagrimas y perfumes y lo seca con sus cabellos , que muestra de agradecimiento mas hermoso , que corazón sincero el de aquella mujer ,
fueron esas acciones las que le hicieron merecer la misericoridia y el Perdon. Y son esas mismas acciones las que nos invitan hoy dia a que volvamos de Corazón al Señor , para obtener
el perdon por nuestras culpas , Sin importar que tan grandes o pequeñas sean , solo es cuestion de arrepentirse con sinceridad y aceptar que Dios vive en ti ahora y por siempre . El episodio es un verdadero himno a la misericordia de Dios. Jesús demuestra que Él es mucho más
que un profeta. El es el que vino al mundo a salvar el mundo del pecado, tal como fue anunciado por el ángel a San José: «El salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados» (Mt 1,21). Él nos
revela aquella voluntad salvífica del Dios verdadero: «No quiero la muerte del pecador, sino
que se convierta y viva» (Ez 33,11). La mujer salió de la presencia de Jesús convertida en
otra. Ella puede decir a todos lo que decía San Pablo: «Es cierta y digna de ser aceptada por
todos esta afirmación: Cristo Jesús vino al mundo a salvar a los pecadores; y el primero de
ellos soy yo» (1Tim 1,15). Ojala todos pudiéramos decir lo mismo.
“YA NO SOY YO EL QUE VIVE , ES CRISTO QUIEN VIVE EN MI” AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
