Thank you for your generosity!

Pastor’s Letter August 8/9 Dear Fellow Sacred Hearts Parishioners, Summer Friends, and Visitors, Over the past two weeks our Pastor, Fr. Mike Vetrano, has been communicating with the parish community about the important need to smooth out the wide swings in weekly collections. If you saw the graph in the bulletin two weeks ago, you saw the hills and valleys of our weekly income from Sunday collections. These unpredictable swings make it very difficult for us, the Finance Committee of Sacred Hearts Parish, and Fr. Mike, to put together a budget each year - much less to plan for new ministry initiatives. Equally important to smoothing out our income, is the critical need for each of us to plan our weekly giving in advance. Many parishioners have made a concerted effort to regularly support Sacred Hearts on a weekly basis year-round at a level that is in keeping with their means. For this we are most grateful. However, some of us may put little thought into our weekly giving and are more reactive at collection time than is perhaps ideal. This has the potential of resulting in a gift for which the church is very grateful, but a gift that may not reflect the priority one places in their faith. Each year we are able to balance our budget but can only do so marginally. The difference between ending the year with a positive fund balance and a negative fund balance is sometimes only one or two week’s worth of collections. This greatly hampers, indeed prohibits, us from beginning initiatives to reach out to our elderly, homebound, and youth as well as initiatives to make Sacred Hearts a place that is a destination for our summer residents, guests and year-round residents. The more we are able to do “outreach” and the more we are able to expand the Parish’s programs, the better we will thrive as a community. Therefore, in collaboration with Fr. Mike, we are writing to ask you to consider two important requests: First, take the time to formalize your own personal contribution plan for your annual giving to Sacred Hearts, for both weekly and Holy Day collections. Think about how much you give to Sacred Hearts. Does it reflect the importance of your faith and Sacred Hearts Parish in your life? Please take time this summer to reflect on your giving and decide in advance how you might best support the Parish’s weekly and Holy Day collections. Second, consider signing up for First Fruits, the Basilica’s new automated giving program. This will allow you to plan your weekly and Holy Day giving in advance and help you to meaningfully give your support to the Parish each week, year-round. In the coming weeks, you will be given the opportunity to register for the First Fruits program. Our hope is that every year-round parishioner, summer resident, and summer visitor will learn about the First Fruits program and determine how this can enable you to formalize and simplify your support of Sacred Hearts on a consistent basis. If each of us plans in advance and selects the First Fruits giving method, our ability to initiate and implement new programs for the community, as well as our summer and year-round residents and friends, will be greatly enhanced. Thank you in advance for your consideration and for your continued generosity and support of the Basilica Parish of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The Finance Committee: Jay Diesing Fred Weinfurt Pat Jordan John Neknez Charlene Kagel

offering a series of meetings for East End parishes to help us plan for the

future. The information to be discussed includes changes in demographics,

us to take part we would need to have at least 8 people willing to

participate. Dates and times for the meetings are not set yet.

“Youth Ministry changed my life. I would not be the same person without Youth Ministry; it molded me. I tell everyone the way to be the best you can be is to give yourself fully to your Faith and soak up everything you can from your Par-ish Youth Ministry experience,” shared Joseph .

More than 6,000 young people participate in Youth Ministry Programs in our Diocese.

The Catholic Ministries Appeal is also important for so many other ministries and programs that

help our children grow in our faith, including religious education programs for more than 100,000 of

our young people in public schools as well as Campus and young adult ministry programs.

Your support helps to inspire our young people to live and love their faith.

Please know that I thank you most sincerely for your consideration of this special request to make a

gift to the 2015 Catholic Ministries Appeal. Please know that no gift is too small and every gift

makes a difference in the lives of our young people.

Stewardship Happenings and Needs One of the great ways that people support our parish is by donating skilled work. Just this past

week J Andreassi and Tony Tuscano arranged to reset and point the front steps of our

church. Many of you noticed that a couple of steps had become loose. Their team did the work.

Nick Feldmann of Eldor and Bob Sullivan of Sullivan Electric have done a super job of

installing new lighting, running cables, and fixing some electrical problems. Earlier this month Ed

Corrigan helped us with some landscaping needs around our rectory. Thanks to all! These are

just a few of the practical needs of our church provided by local families and businesses.

Here are some things we need now:

Concrete Work: There is a badly damaged apron in front of the rectory garage (12” x 50”). It needs to be removed, regraded, and new concrete poured. If you are able to help us with this project please contact Fr. Mike at the rectory.

A Note from Religious Education Director :

Jennifer Ferrantino

Religious Ed Registration forms for 2015-2016 have been sent

home. If you have not received the packet in the mail, please

contact the religious ed office.

If you have a child who will be entering First Grade in the fall please contact me.

Please remember all families must first be registered in our parish and then the

religious ed program. Please send in your forms early, so we have ample time to

prepare and there will be no registration on the first day of class.

All new families please contact me for information regarding

Religious Ed classes in the fall.

Thank you! jferrantino@shjmbasilica.org or 283-0508

"War destroys. And we must cry out for peace. Peace sometimes gives the idea of stillness, but it is never stillness. It is always an active peace.

A La Eucaristía - "Nuestro Salvador, en la última Cena, la noche en que fue entregado, instituyó el Sacrificio Eucarístico de su cuerpo y su sangre para perpetuar por los siglos, hasta su vuelta, el sacrificio de la cruz y confiar así a su Esposa amada, la Iglesia, el memorial de su muerte y resurrección, sacramento de piedad, signo de unidad, vínculo de amor, banquete pascual en el que se recibe a Cristo, el alma se llena de gracia y se nos da una prenda de la gloria futura". (CCE, §1323)

El Papa Francisco Habló en Ecuador - Me quiero detener con José y María en Belén. Ellos tuvieron que dejar su lugar, los suyos, sus amigos. Tuvieron que dejar lo propio e ir a otra tierra. Una tierra en la que no conocían a nadie, no tenían casa, no tenían familia. En ese momento, esa joven pareja tuvo a Jesús. En ese contexto, en una cueva preparada como pudieron, esa joven pareja nos regaló a Jesús. Estaban solos, en tierra extraña, ellos tres. De repente, empezó a aparecer gente: pastores, personas igual que ellos, que tuvieron que dejar lo propio en función de conseguir mejores oportunidades familiares. Vivían en función también de las inclemencias del tiempo y de otro tipo de inclemencias… Cuando se enteraron del nacimiento de Jesús se acercaron, se hicieron prójimos, se hicieron vecinos. Se volvieron de pronto la familia de María y José. La familia de Jesús. Esto es lo que sucede cuando aparece Jesús en nuestra vida. Eso es lo que despierta la fe. La fe nos hace prójimos, nos hace prójimos a la vida de los demás, nos aproxima a la vida de los demás. La fe despierta nuestro compromiso con los demás, la fe despierta nuestra solidaridad: una virtud, humana y cristiana, que ustedes tienen y que muchos, muchos, tienen y tenemos que aprender.
