Our Lady of Fatima Devotion

The 1st Saturday of each month will be

devoted to Our Lady of Fatima. The devotion

Our Lady came to Fatima with a message from God to eve-

ima promised that the whole world would be in peace, and

that many souls would go to Heaven if Her requests were

listened to and obeyed. Please join us in this devotion.

St Joseph’s Parish Monthly Recollection

On the First Friday of every month, at 7:30 PM, we hold our Monthly Parish Recollection. This is an hour of pray-

er, of recollection before our Lord present in the Blessed Sacrament - whose Sacred Heart is the source of immense

charity and generous love. The foundation of this prayer is God’s presence in our souls as Creator, Preserver, and

Author of Graces (“in Him we live, and move, and are” Acts 17:28). God is our Father, and our Friend and is our

sweet Guest. We must acknowledge the realization of this great truth: God is in each of us, our soul is His Temple.

This prayer of recollection includes the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction, Praying of the

Psalms, Silence, Gospel Reading and a Talk /Reflection on the following topics: The Cardinal Virtues of pru-

dence, justice, temperance and fortitude. The Theological Virtues of faith, hope and love. The gifts of the Holy

Spirit; wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord.

Every soul, hungry & thirsty for God, is invited to this holy hour every First Friday of the month to

adore, venerate & contemplate the Sacred Heart of Jesus, & to have a quiet dialogue with God.

OUR LITURGY

Having been imprisoned by King Herod, Peter is miraculously freed to continue his mission. Paul writes to Timothy about God’s faithfulness. The Gospel recalls a key question asked by Jesus: Who do you say that I am? For his answer, Simon Peter is entrusted with the keys to the Kingdom of heaven.

Welcome, Fr. Michael Rieder! May God bless you as you undertake the task

of leading us in our mission...

We strive daily to be a community of believers alive in Christ.

We pray, play, and worship as a community alive in the life of the Eucharist.

In our diversity and in a spirit of reconciliation we journey toward God.

We are a community of many backgrounds, united in a spirit of forgiving and forgiven as we

continue to draw closer to God.

Our faith finds expression in worship.

Because we believe, we are able to bring life to our Sunday and daily liturgies.

Our love is the center of care for all people.

All groups, all ages, all genders, all races, and people of varied backgrounds find a blessing

and a haven in our midst.

And because of all this...

Our hope is the longed-for promise of union with God, and with each other, as we

continue the mission of proclaiming the kingdom at Saint Joseph’s in Ronkonkoma.

Respect Life

POLST Warning – Part III. POLST stands for

'Physician Orders for Life- Sustaining Treatment'. A

publication distributed by the Pro-life Healthcare Alliance

(PHA) entitled "Informed, A guide for critical medical

decisions," warns of the dangers of a POLST.

The publication also warns that Living Wills can be

dangerous: "In a Living Will, you request or refuse life-

sustaining treatment for some future illness or injury based

on pure guesswork. Also, when hospitalized, your

attending physician may be a stranger who does a poor job

of interpreting your wishes, particularly if they do not share

your values. Worse yet, a physician can be disciplined for

failing to comply with your Living Will's refusal of treatment

unless the physician attempts to transfer you to a physician

who will comply. Therefore, a Living Will may tie the hands

of a physician who values your life and whose skills could

restore you to health."

The Pro-life Healthcare Alliance recommends a Durable

Power of Attorney for Health Care. You appoint an agent

(a family member or friend) – some- one you trust to make

decisions for you when you are unable. "Your agent will

endeavor to honor your values while basing decisions on

current information (your condition, treatment options,

likely outcomes, etc.) provided by medical

professionals...It is wise to choose someone who (1)

genuinely respects human life and is capable of making

morally sound medical decisions for you, (2) will ask

questions in order to base decisions on the best medical

information and advice available, (3) will not be easily

intimidated by medical professionals or terminology, and

(4) will obtain a second opinion or legal advice if

necessary. Discuss your wishes with your agent when you

sign your DPAHC and periodically thereafter, as your

circumstances and perspective may change over time. A

DPAHC is essential for anyone who is 18 years or older.

To be certain that a person you trust will make medical

decisions for you if you become incapacitated, you must

specifically name that person in a legal document."

For more information, or to obtain a copy of the publication

described in paragraph one, contact the Human Life

Alliance, 651-484-1040; www.humanlife.org To obtain a

Protective Medical Decisions Document packet specific to

your state, contact the Patients Rights Council, PO Box
