FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
MAY 19, 2019
The shrine of Our Lady of Vailankanni (Our Lady
of Good Health), known as the “Lourdes of the
East”, is a large church in South India with the
status of a minor basilica and is the destination of
more than two million pilgrims every year. The
busiest season is during the nine days of the
Novena ending on September 8th
, the feast day, and
the commemoration of the birthday of Mary (nine
months after the observance of her Immaculate
Conception on December 8th
).

Dear Parishioners of St. Mary’s,
I write this week to update you on the financial situation of the parish.
1) You may or may not be aware that the parish has owned the furniture store across the
street for many years and it has been leased out for $8,500.00 per month. This money has
been used part of the annual operating budget. Since I have been here (July 1, 2018) the
finance council, parish council, the diocesan real estate team and I have been negotiating
with the lessee to sell him the property. We completed that deal in February. The
$2,000,000.00 realized from the sale is to be used exclusively to create an endowment for the
parish at the instruction of the bishop. We have settled on an investment manager after
meeting with four different firms and the money will soon be working for the future of the
parish. In the short term, our operating budget is down $8,500.00 per month, but we expect
a bigger return on the investment in the long term. I must offer special thanks to parishioner
Sandy Zimmerman for many hours spent shepherding this deal through.
2) Since I have been here our operating account has remained steady at about $70,000.00.
This means that what we receive every month is roughly equivalent to what we spend every
month. At first glance this seems satisfactory, but it does not take into account making
repairs. We have some major repairs to undertake in the near future not the least of which is
the repair of the school roof (ca. $125,000.00) and the completion of the steeple renovation
and repair (cost unknown at the moment).
3) The parish has about $135,000.00 invested in a money market account earning 2.25%
interest. We have immediate access to that money if needed but am trying to leave it alone
as a “rainy day” fund. In my previous and present experience as a pastor I have learned
that one never knows what tomorrow may bring!
4) As the school continues to grow, which is a good thing, so does their need for space. The
parish has access to the school rooms during the evenings and weekends, of course, but if we
allow the school to continue to grow, we will need to forfeit the space in the school to which
we have access during the day for Bible study, money counters, meetings which take more
space than the rectory dining room, etc. Sooner or later the school will also need the space
occupied by the Religious Education offices and the music offices. We have just begun to
consider the possibilities for gaining space for these activities and offices elsewhere on the
property. With the help of the diocesan legal office we are currently re-negotiating with the
school concerning rent, utilities, interior renovations, etc.
5) I am currently working with our bookkeeper on revised annual budget for St. Mary’s, the
meat and potatoes of which will be made available to you by July 1st. More to follow. Stay
tuned to your bulletin, and thanks for your support. Fr. Ringley

SAINT MARY CHURCH – MAY 19, 2019
Estimado Feligreses de Santa María,
Esta semana me dirijo a ustedes para informarles sobre la actual situación financiera de la parroquia.
1) Por muchos años la parroquia ha sido la propietaria de la tienda de muebles que se encuentra al frente
de la Iglesia. Esa propiedad se rentaba por la cantidad de $8,500 mensuales, suma que era utilizada para cubrir los gastos de operación anuales de la parroquia.
Desde mi llegada (julio 1, 2018) tanto el Consejo Financiero como el Consejo Parroquial y el
Departamento de Bienes Raíces de la Diócesis habían estado negociando con el arrendador de dicho edificio la venta del mismo.
Dicha transacción de la venta del edificio se llevó a cabo en el mes de febrero. Los $2,000.000.00 que se obtuvieron de dicha venta y por instrucciones del obispo, serán usados exclusivamente para crear una
dotación de fondos para la Iglesia.
Después de varias reuniones con algunas instituciones financieras decidimos contratar a un gestor de inversiones, y el dinero pronto producirá frutos para el futuro de la parroquia. A corto plazo, nuestro
presupuesto de operaciones ya no cuenta con los $8,500 mensuales, pero a largo plazo, esperamos una ganancia mayor con esta inversión. Agradezco de una manera especial al feligrés Sandy Zimmerman por
todas las horas que dedicó negociando este contrato hasta que se llevó a feliz término.
2) Desde mi llegada, nuestra cuenta operacional se ha mantenido estable más o menos en $70,000.00. Esto
significa que lo que recaudamos mensualmente equivale a lo que gastamos cada mes. A primera vista esto parece satisfactorio, pero aquí no se toman en cuenta los imprevistos como gastos de reparación, etc.
Tenemos algunos proyectos para el futuro cercano como ser el techo de la Escuela de Religión (aproximadamente con un costo de $125,000.00), y finalizar la renovación y reparación del campanario
(actualmente no tenemos el monto de lo que costaría este proyecto).
3) La parroquia tiene más o menos $135,000.00 invertidos en una cuenta de Money Market con un interés del 2.25%. Tenemos acceso inmediato a esa cantidad si fuera necesario, pero estoy tratando de no tocarlo
y dejarlo como un “fondo de emergencia”. En mi experiencia, pasada y presente como párroco, puedo decirles que ¡nunca se sabe lo que traerá el mañana!
4. A medida que la escuela continúe creciendo, lo que está muy bien, también crecen las necesidades de más
espacio. Por supuesto que la parroquia tiene acceso a las aulas escolares por las noches y los fines de semana, pero si permitimos que la escuela continúe creciendo, necesitaremos ceder el espacio al que
tenemos acceso durante el día, como ser el espacio para las reuniones de Estudios Bíblicos, espacios para el grupo de personas encargadas de contar las colectas de fines de semana, etc. Dichas reuniones necesitan
mas espacio del que podría proporcionar el comedor de la rectoría.
Tarde o temprano la escuela también necesitará el espacio que actualmente ocupa la Escuela de Religión y
las oficinas de Música. Estamos considerando la posibilidad de agregar espacios, para estas actividades y oficinas.. Con la ayuda de la Oficina Legal de la Diócesis actualmente estamos negociando con la escuela
en cuanto a la renta, servicios, etc.
5. Actualmente estoy trabajando con la persona encargada de la Contabilidad en el Presupuesto Anual para Santa María. Espero tenerlo listo para el 1 de julio. Estén pendientes del boletín, y gracias por su apoyo.
Fr. Ringley

Oración a San Miguel Arcángel
"San Miguel Arcángel, defiéndenos en la lucha. Sé
nuestro amparo contra la maldad y asechanzas del
demonio. Pedimos suplicantes que Dios lo mantenga
bajo su imperio; y tu príncipe de la milicia celestial,
arroja al infierno, con el poder divino a Satanás y a los
otros espíritus malvados que andan por el mundo para la
perdición de las almas. Amen
INVITACION Únase a nosotros para una recepción parroquial después
de la Misa de Vigilia (español e inglés) de las 6:00 pm para la Fiesta de la Ascensión el miércoles 29 de mayo. Esta será una oportunidad maravillosa para aprender

El Vuelo de los Gansos La próxima temporada, cuando veas los gansos emigrar
dirigiéndose hacia un lugar más cálido para pasar el
invierno, fíjate y verás que vuelan en forma de “V”. ¿Sabes
por qué lo hacen de esta forma? Porque al batir sus alas, cada ave produce una corriente en
el aire que ayuda al que va detrás de él. Volando en V, la
bandada de gansos aumenta por lo menos un 71% más su capacidad de vuelo, en comparación con uno que vuela
solo.
Las personas que comparten un proyecto en común y tienen sentido de comunidad, pueden llegar a cumplir sus
objetivos más fácil y rápidamente apoyándose entre sí.
Cada vez que un ganso sale de la formación, siente
inmediatamente la resistencia del aire y se da cuenta de la dificultad de hacerlo solo. Por supuesto, rápidamente
vuelve a la formación para beneficiarse del compañero que
va adelante. Si nos unimos y nos mantenemos juntos a los que van en nuestra misma dirección, el esfuerzo será
menor. Todo será más sencillo y alcanzar las metas y
objetivos, será más placentero. Cuando el líder de los gansos se cansa, permite que otro
tome su lugar y él se retrase a un lugar más cómodo.
Nosotros, hombres y mujeres, obtendremos mejores
resultados si nos apoyamos en los momentos duros, si nos respetamos y compartimos los problemas y los trabajos
más difíciles. Los gansos que van en la parte de atrás
graznan para alentar a los que van adelante a mantener la velocidad.
Una palabra de aliento a tiempo, ayuda, da fuerza, motiva y produce mejores resultados. Finalmente, cuando un ganso se enferma o cae herido por
un disparo, los dos gansos más cercanos salen de la
formación y lo acompañan para apoyarlo y protegerlo. Muchas veces decimos ¡No seas ganso!, pero si somos
realistas y un poco humildes…¡Cuánto podríamos
aprender de estas aves! 4

THE PIETÀ. In most of our lives, we will face events that tempt us to despair. These events may be small encounters in our relationships with others that leave us feeling hopeless, discouraged and disappointed. At other times, we may encounter grave and tragic events that seem to leave us in utter desperation. The meaning of the Pietà, our Blessed Mother cradling the dead body of her Son, can never be exhausted. It’s an image of hope in the midst of seeming hopelessness. It’s an image of love that conquers all fear. It’s an image of faith in the perfect plan of God no matter what comes. Think of this tender image of our Blessed Mother with the sacred body of her divine Son resting in her lap. Think of her pain and sorrow. Ponder also her faith in the promise of her Son, her hope in the fulfillment of that promise, and her love, which enabled her to press on through her own grief. There is much we can learn from our Blessed Mother. Her heart, in particular, was one that shone brightly with the perfection of every virtue. She is a pillar of grace and strength surrounded by suffering. She is an example for all.
PRAYER TO
SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense
against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God
rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the
heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and
all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin
of souls. Amen.

Book Review
St. Mary’s parishioner Marcia Segelstein has written a book entitled Don’t Let
the Culture Raise Your Kids. (The book is published by Our Sunday Visitor
and is available in the St. Mary’s Bookstore).
Quoting the biography on the book’s cover, “Marcia Segelstein has covered
family issues for more than twenty-five years as a producer for CBS News and as
a columnist. She has written for Fox News.com, First Things, WORLD
Magazine, and Touchstone, and is a senior editor for Salvo magazine. Marcia is a
graduate of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. She and her
husband have two “twenty-something” children”.
This book is designed as a guide for parents to help them protect their children
from many of the problems which plague our modern culture. The six short
chapters cover the critical role of parents as authority figures, schools, media
(especially cellphones and television), sex, pornography, and consumerism.
Each chapter includes a frank discussion of the problem (with supporting data)
and concludes with a section entitled “Solutions, Tips, and Tools”. An appendix
lists resources to help parents further educate themselves about the issues
covered in the book, as well as copious footnotes citing the sources of the
information contained in it.
Parents will find this book a helpful, simple, and straightforward guide to raising
their children to live in the context of our modern culture without being poisoned
or destroyed by it. A bonus is that it is written from a completely orthodox
Catholic point of view. I highly recommend it and thank Marcia for having
written it.

Title: Symphony inspired by the chant Salve Regina
One of our newest parishioners Salvatore Di Vittorio is a composer and
native of Italy, where his music is published under Casa Ricordi. He is
also the Music Director of the Chamber Orchestra of New York which
performs at Carnegie Hall, and his family - including his wife Santa
Maria and young son Giuseppe - come to St. Mary's from their home in
Westchester. They love St. Mary's parish, and cherish the wonderful
music presented by the Schola every Sunday.
After five years in the making, Salvatore recently completed his
Symphony No. 4 Metamorphoses for orchestra, after the Roman poet
Ovid's Metamorphoses. The almost 30-minute work was inspired by
three related Italian paintings and the chant Salve Regina, which
Salvatore felt personalized his Catholic connection to the culmination of
Ovid's story ending and the founding of Rome. The principal melody is
inspired by the first five notes of the chant, and then the chant's ending
line is fully orchestrated at the end of his symphony. Salvatore will be
recording the composition along with other works for Naxos Records
later this year, and hopes to have the world premiere performance in
Rome.
Salvatore will lead the orchestra in a performance of the second
movement Venus and Adonis (after the Titian painting) on Thursday,
June 27th at DiMenna Center in New York, which includes a post-
concert reception. In early June, the orchestra performs the music of W.
A. Mozart on Thursday, June 6th at Carnegie Hall's Weill Hall. For more
