Sunday, November 4, 2012

263 Atlantic Avenue, East Rockaway, NY 11518 516-593-5000

Greetings and God’s blessings be yours on

the Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time! Matching ones actions to our true intentions is

the consistent message in today’s readings.

What we do reveals who we really are, and if we

are people of faith, how we live should reflect

that reality. The first reading from Deuteronomy

tells the people that it is God alone to whom we

owe total allegiance. “Therefore, you shall love

the Lord your God, with all your heart, and

with all your soul and with all your strength.” Then in Hebrews we have talk about sacrifices

and high priests. Jesus appears as the high priest

before God on our behalf. “Therefore, he is

always able to save those who approach God

through him, since he lives forever to make

intercession for them.” And then in Mark’s

gospel, Jesus harkens back to the Old Testament

“first of all commandments” but adds an

important second one. “You shall love your

neighbor as yourself.”

If you want to worship the one God, then you

need to do so with your whole self. If you

reverently participate in the sacrifice of the

Mass, you should have the same reverence when

it comes to making sacrifices for others. If you

love God, then show that in your love of your

neighbor. Having integrity and sincerity will

put you “not far from the kingdom of God.”

Ask yourself this question: If you knew you

were going to die tonight, what would you do

today? Variations abound. If you found out you

had an incurable disease, which decisions would

you now make that you’ve been putting off? If

you had one last chance to say or do something

for the people you care about, what would it be?

If the world was going to end next week, what

would you fill your calendar with this week?

And if you had a chance to shape the future of

the world this week, for whom will you cast

your ballots? Yes, it’s another Election Day on

Tuesday, and as always, there’s a lot for

thoughtful people to consider. The main

question is this: What criteria do we Christians

use in discerning and shaping our future? How do faithful people choose?

The answer to all the above questions of

ultimate concern should be the same-Love! This answer is not some hippie, church going,

kind of vague response. Real love involves

time, investment and sacrifice. When a very

well educated man approached Jesus with a

question of ultimate concern, Jesus’ answer

without hesitation was: Love! And Jesus spelled

out in great detail through his ministry what he

meant by love. It’s all there in the scriptures.

Preselected voting cards are unnecessary for

those who attend to the gospel. The process for

a person of faith is to: pray, listen, love and

choose. It is the same procedure you are obliged

to follow for every hour of your life and in every

interaction. If you would shape the future as

God would have it, the only method is: Love! We are only two weeks from our Backwards

Money Drawing that will be held at the Fall

Fling Party on Saturday, November 17th. We

still have 250 of the 500 tickets to sell by that

date (Yikes!). It may seem a bit daunting, but

hopefully we can make it like last year. Thanks

to all who took tickets last Sunday. Please have

them back by next Sunday, November 11th.

Tickets are available at the rectory during

regular office hours. We need everyone’s help

to make this important parish fundraising

event a success.

Please remember to take home a copy of the

bulletin when you leave Mass today. It contains

many items of interest and invitation, with

something for everyone. Of special note is the

order form for the Backwards Money Tickets

(HELP!), the ad for the Fall Fling tickets, the

latest 2012 Catholic Ministries Appeal update,

news and needs from Parish Social Ministry

and much more. To keep informed, keep a copy

of the bulletin at home for quick and easy

reference.

Have a great first week of November! Stay

well, be patient, act kindly and we will all make

it through all the recovery efforts from this past

week’s hurricane. And let’s pray for our 9th

graders who will be making the sacrament of

Confirmation this coming Wednesday,

November 7th. God bless and protect everyone

especially during this difficult time.

Hurricane Sandy

As I write this, I am looking out my office window on

Tuesday morning. The sound of sirens is a constant one as

police cars, ambulances, emergency vehicles and fire trucks

make constant trips through East Rockaway and the

surrounding villages. Hurricane Sandy sure has packed a

wallop with tremendous flooding, power outages, and

property damage as her gift too all of us. Nature can sure be

a cruel companion at times. I hope that you and your loved

ones kept safe and have endured a minimum of difficulty

and inconvenience. Our local village officials, auxiliary

police, emergency services, volunteer fire fighters and

others gave tirelessly of themselves in the facing the

enormous challenges that Hurricane Sandy hurled at us.

They should all be commended and thanked for what they

did this week and now continue to do in the recovery efforts

of our village and surrounding areas. May God bless

them and all of us as, once again, we put our lives back

together. Be kind, be patient and be helpful to one

another. —Father Chuck

St. Raymond Human Life Committee

“I support Roe vs. Wade” and if elected, “I will protect a woman’s right to choose.” Sounds very American, very democratic. Only if we know what is being chosen, can we then determine if morally and ethically that “choice” can be given and then sanctioned through the last.

So what actually is the “choice” the politician is protecting? He or she wants to protect the legal “right” of a woman to choose to have the child in her womb—her own child—killed through barbarous and painful surgical procedure known as abortion. The politician, by supporting the Supreme Court Decision, goes so far as to want to protect this killing up to and including the ninth month of pregnancy for any reason. What kind of a society are we when we accept the killing of an innocent human being tin the name of “freedom of choice”? Remember just a short time ago in our American history, we were also given “freedom of choice”. And what was that “choice”? The “freedom to choose” to own and sell slaves. The Supreme Court decided in its Dred Scott Decision that “a slave is the property of the owner and can be bought, sold, used or even killed by the owner at the owner’s discretion. And although he may have a heart and a brain and he may be a human life biologically, a slave is not a human person”. In the Roe vs. Wade and its companion Decision, Doe vs. Bolton, the Court declared that an unborn baby is the property of the mother and she can have the baby killed by abortion. This can be done any time until birth and although he (the baby) has a heart and a brain and he is a unique human individual biologically, an unborn baby is not a legal person. And to think that some who want to be President of our country proudly state that they are for this so-called “right” for women and tragically many citizens, Catholics included, will actually vote for one of these candidates. This Tuesday, November 6th is Election Day for all registered voters. As Catholic voters, we have a privilege responsibility and an opportunity to participate in building a “Culture of Life”. Every voice matters in the public forum. When voting this Tuesday, please bring your Catholic faith into the voting booth and exercise the power of your vote to defend all human life, especially those who have no voice—the live babies in the womb.

Back by popular demand, a special fundraiser for St. Raymond Parish and School, the "Backwards Money Drawing!" This special fundraiser will be held on Saturday, November 17, 2012 at the parish’s "Fall Fling" party. Tickets for the Backwards Drawing are $100.00 each with only 500 tickets available. The grand prize of $10,000.00 will be awarded to the last ticket drawn at the "Fall Fling" party. There will also be an additional $10,000.00 in prize money spread amongst other tickets as they are drawn. For us to be successful, we need to sell all 500 tickets!

"One Faith, One Hope, Many Gifts"

A new month, November, is here, and our 2012 Catholic Ministries Appeal totals seem to be at

a stand-still. Now, while we are more than two-thirds to our goal which is good news, there is still

quite a distance to go for reaching our goal or even last year’s total. This positive response comes

in the midst of a greater challenge this year. While we did not meet our goal for the 2011 Appeal, we

have been given a bigger challenge for 2012. Our parish goal has been raised from $95,960.00 to

$98,400.00. We raised $86,516.00 from 400 donors in 2011. Therefore our rebate was $9,748.00

which is a nice return in funds for St. Raymond’s. Once again in 2012, the rebate formula remains the

same. If we reach our new goal of $98,400.00 in payment we will receive 20% back and then 80% of

every dollar paid in over the goal. Basically, the better we do for the diocese, the better we do for St.

Raymond’s. However, since our goal has gone up and we have had a steady falloff in the total pledge

amount and number of donors for the past three years, our potential rebate will probably also

decrease. So what can we do? More donors and a higher pledge amount would put us on the road to

success.

As a priest, a pastor and a Catholic member of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, I really do believe

in the importance of the Catholic Ministries Appeal. This appeal supports more than 40 pastoral

programs and ministries that serve 133 parishes across Long Island. The funds raised help us in

fulfilling our mission to live and share our faith, care for God’s people and build God’s kingdom

throughout Long Island. All the money raised is used to support four main areas of

ministry:Catholic Charities, Education, Formation and Pastoral Ministry. During this Stewardship time of renewal and gratitude, perhaps we will also see a nice jump

further towards our goal. Prayer is always needed as well as a willingness to share our gifts with

those in need throughout Long Island. Remember, by making a pledge or donation to the Catholic

Ministries Appeal, you will be supporting programs that help to feed seniors and families in need

right here in our own communities and you will be playing a big part in helping all the other good

works of the Catholic Church on Long Island. And don’t forget the significant rebate St. Raymond’s

Parish may also receive by your generosity. Pledge brochures and envelopes are always available for

those wishing to make a pledge or donation on the pew shelves at the rear of the church. Otherwise,

look for the mailings sent by the appeal office. A new one will be coming in October. You can

always respond directly to the appeal office and St. Raymond’s will get full credit. We have a parish

of 3200 family and individual registrations. We really need to increase the amount of donors from the

400 of last year in order to be successful and qualify for the maximum rebate.

Please take time to prayerfully consider making a pledge or one time gift. Then if you are able to

help either respond by direct mail to the appeal office or back to the rectory using one of the appeal

envelopes found on the pew shelves by the doors of the church. Together, let’s make 2012 a bounce

back year for the Catholic Ministries Appeal here at St. Raymond Parish. Below is the current appeal

update.

courage to defend them, for ourselves and for all those who live in this blessed land. We ask this through the
