Pastor’s Letter August 16/17 Music is an important part of summer and an important part of parish life here at Sacred Hearts. Our

parish church embodies the historical and religious culture of our community. It is part of our mission

to support the arts because music and art are part of our worship and they lift our minds and hearts to

God. That is perhaps why St. Augustine reminded us that the one who sings prays twice!

Summer and fall are special times for appreciation of music in our parish. Thanks to our sponsors at

UBS Financial Services we were privileged to host musicians from the Southampton Arts Festival this

past Monday. This beautiful night of music brought us the work of both accomplished professionals

and rising young artists.

Next Saturday night we will be happy to welcome soprano Ashley Bell with the accompaniment of

Chao Liao. The Bell family has been a wonderful supporter of the arts here at Sacred Hearts. Ashley,

who now performs both nationally and internationally, sang with our music ministry during her school

days here in Southampton. She plans to bring us a beautiful night of classical music. I hope you will

be there!

This fall will bring us a very special event at Sacred Hearts as one of Ireland’s most famous singers,

Mary Black, will visit here as part of her Last Call Tour of the United States. Our parish has much

affection and connection to Irish heritage here on the East End and it will be wonderful for us to

celebrate this heritage with Mary Black on November 7.

For those who love Mary and Irish music, this may be the last time to hear her in concert on this side of

the pond! Tickets for this event go on sale August 19 and there will be a special discount for SHJM

parishioners who purchase tickets at the rectory office.

Thanks to all of you who love and support the cultural mission of SHJM.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Rev. Michael A. Vetrano, Pastor

Dear Parish Family, For more than 100 years, the parish of the Sacred Hearts has been an important part of the community of Southampton. Since my arrival in 2012, I have felt warmly welcomed and I look forward to many years serving in this community. In my very first summer I asked parishioners to tell me what our goals might be over these next years. One area that was mentioned over and over again was to develop and maintain our beautiful church as a place of welcome. The challenges of maintaining a historic church are great. It is not easy for any church these days, but for a relatively small congregation the demands of, not only upkeep, but of preservation and restoration are enormous. In the 1990s, our parish established a fund to help with these demands. We call it the In Nomine Domini Fund, dedicated to the preservation, improvement, and restoration of our church. At the present time, we need to add almost $1 million to this fund to help us with the needs described in this letter. This summer I will be reaching out to parishioners and friends to help us with these tasks. We will be much more successful if I have the support of people like yourselves in this effort. I know you are among the most supportive and helpful members of this parish community; hence, I write to you today to ask if you would consider helping us.

If you are able to make a gift to help us with our needs, I would be most grateful. I would also welcome the opportunity to meet you and discuss this in person or by telephone, if you so desire. Regardless of your response, would you please keep us in your prayers and thoughts and know that you are always welcome here.

Heating and Cooling When our parish undertook a substantial renovation of our beautiful church almost 25 years ago, a decision was made to forego the upgrade of our heating and cooling system. At the time there was concern that modernization, in particular air conditioning, would sacrifice the beauty of our building. This was certainly the case at the time when the only approach would have necessitated very visible air ducts in the building. But time and technology has changed quite a bit and what was once impossible is within reach. Between heat and humidity, summer can be a very uncomfortable time at Sacred Hearts. We have kept careful records over the past two years and we know that our attendance drops during the warmest days of summer. We are celebrating very few weddings in the months of July and August when our church should be at its busiest. For those who do brave the warm temperatures the experience on these warm days is of much discomfort and the noise of our fans. Solution: Present technology would make it possible to replace our radiators with air handler units that would both heat and cool our church. In a sense we would be simply replacing our radiators with these integrated heating / cooling units. The units could be wood finished, similar to the one shown here, and actually look quite a bit better than the radiators! Total cost for heating / cooling / new electrical $650K Facilities: The comfort of our parishioners and guests is important. Our church had become a destination for people from all across our island and a frequent issue is the lack of rest rooms in our church. We have consulted an architect and it would be easily possible to add rest rooms within the vestibules on the east and west front doors of our church. The expansion needed would be minimal and barely noticeable outside the church. The total anticipated cost would be about 75K. Lighting: Lighting is a major energy cost in our church. We need to upgrade our historic fixtures to use modern energy efficient systems (fluorescent and LED). We also need to examine the safety lighting outside our church. If you have ever come here in the evening or on winter afternoons you have probably noticed that our walkway and door lighting could be improved. Estimated cost: 50K Bell Tower: Our parish is blessed with four cast bells which call us to worship each week. These historic bells have been many years without the refurbishment of their ringing hardware. Originally the bells were actually swung – probably by a system of ropes! At some point electric strikers were installed. This system now needs to be renewed. First of all, the mountings for the bells have been corroded by our salt air and need to be replaced with new stainless hardware. The hardware itself is not expensive but the work of lifting and restoring bells is very specialized. As this work is done it makes sense to update the ringing system which currently is almost impossible to program. Total cost for these improvements: 60K

Pew Refinishing: Our pews are truly part of our history at SHJM. They are over 100 years old and have accommodated our parishioners and some celebrities over these years. These days most parishes simply replace pews with new ones as they wear. But here they are part of our history and most parishioners would prefer that they be cleaned and renewed. Our pews were attended to in our last restoration with a process of sanding and applying a new coat of urethane. One can notice many areas where the urethane has worn or become scratched. It would be possible now to do a more comprehensive restoration. This would involve sanding, repairing, strengthening, and applying a furniture grade quality finish. This would make our pews beautiful for another 100 years! Cost: 75K Carpeting: The carpet in our church is almost at the end of its useful life and it will need to be replaced as work is done to our pews and heating / cooling. Cost will be about 45K.

Todos los Pueblos - Todos los que obedecen los mandamientos del Señor son bienvenidos, porque la casa del Señor es casa de oración para todos los pueblos. El Evangelio de hoy narra cómo el Señor llama a los paganos y a toda la gente, incluso a la mujer cananea que imploraba por su hija; ella sólo pedía las migas que caían de la Mesa del Señor. Conmovido por la fe de la mujer, el Señor le concedió el deseo. La mujer de gran fe es la Iglesia que ruega por cada uno de nosotros. Recibimos el alimento de la Mesa del Señor para nuestro alivio y salvación. ¡Alívianos, Señor! Texto: Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2001, OCP. Derechos reservados.

"Mujer, ¡qué grande es tu fe!" - ¡La persistencia! Habiendo escuchado que Jesús era sanador, la mujer insistió hasta que llegó hasta Él. Ella quería la sanación, "una miga de su compasión", no para sí misma, sino para su hija. Jesús afirmó su fe. Ella le rogó al Señor y Él la escuchó. Esto demostraba que los extranjeros se unían al Señor, lo atendían y se hacían sus servidores. Los discípulos de Jesús hicieron lo opuesto. Ellos querían despachar a la mujer y, sin saberlo, impedían la misión de Jesús. Al concederle a la mujer su deseo, Jesús dio a sus propios discípulos un testimonio de su compasión. Podemos preguntarnos: ¿Cuáles son los obstáculos que nosotros ponemos al ministerio de los demás hacia el prójimo o hacia nosotros mismos?
