OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD

Does Roseanne Barr and other people in the news likeformer president Bill Clinton or even the previouslyunknown 20-year-old Philadelphia woman EmilyWeinman who faces several charges including two

counts of aggravated assault on a police officer, disorderlyconduct and resisting arrest following the incident at thebeach in Wildwood, NJ need to learn the act of contrition? Ihave been thinking about this recently and I am glad thatsomeone is putting this out there. Nobody knows how toapologize or express contrition anymore. So here is somewelcome wisdom from a Catholic upbringing, via MargaretRenklin of the New York Times. “One of the most useful thingsCatholic school taught me is the fundamental structure ofapology. We are all born with a powerful inclination for faultand failure. We lie. We treat others unkindly. We nurturewrongheaded notions because they make us feel a little bitbetter about our imperfect selves.

Among the higher profile cases, there is plenty tosuggest that almost no one in public life knows how to expressremorse. If you are a Catholic of a certain age, you grew upreciting the Act of Contrition every day, and you therebylearned some things about remorse. A child who learns thesewords learns that an apology consists of four parts: genuineremorse, the expectation of unpleasant but entirely deservedconsequences, a resolution not to commit the same erroragain, a sincere effort to avoid the circumstances that led tothe error in the first place. The moral imperative of the Act ofContrition has its limitations, of course, starting with thequestion of who gets to decide what might offend God. Theprayer is nevertheless a good basic template for somethingthat no longer seems basic at all: knowing how to clean up amess of your own making.

When a person causes egregious offense, theappropriate response isn’t damage control. The appropriateresponse is a genuine apology — not because you might getyour TV show back but because to acknowledge a mistake is toparticipate fully in the human community. We all mess up. Weall see through blinders. We all say hurtful things. We allnurture prejudices we don’t recognize in ourselves. It isn’tnecessary to think of these tendencies as being part of a sinfulnature to understand that they are endemic to human life. Even afull-throated apology won’t erase a colossal mistake. We will nevermake ourselves perfect. But we can try to make ourselves better, andthe culture we live in, too.”

I found it refreshing to read something so profoundin a newspaper that is not always favorable to our beliefs.There is hope for all of us, I suppose.

Father LaMorte

HOLY COMMUNION AND THE DISABLED If you have difficultywalking, please sit in the front pew on the Holy Family sidewhen coming to church. A minister will bring the Eucharistichost right to you at your place so that you are the first toreceive Communion. We will reserve the area of chairs nearestthe sacristy door for those who come in wheelchairs. If youwould like, the chalice of Precious Blood will also be offered toyou after everyone has received. We are very happy to do thisfor you.

LAY DEANERY COUNCIL is a gathering ofrepresentatives from each of the 16 parish whomeet every four months with MonsignorEmmet Nevin, dean of Rockland to work closelyand share information and coordinate effortsthat will enhance and strengthen the quality of

Catholic life, worship, and service throughout the wholecounty. Father is looking for four people who might weinterested in helping. Four volunteers will mean attending thismeeting only once a year. If you can help, please call ourparish office.

PARISH FOUNDATION With the completion of both theTappan Zee Bridge and the Palisades Interstate Parkway in1956, Rockland County was discovered and the great exodusfrom New York City turned north and over the Hudson River.Many of the newcomers came from predominantly Catholicareas of Manhattan and the Bronx and soon, the churches ofNorth Rockland were no longer adequate. Most of the youngCatholic parents moving from the city had a parochialeducation and they wanted the same for their children. It soonbecame apparent that the wisest course of action would be topress for the establishment of a new parish. Finally in 1961,with the purchase of choice land, the 55 acre Burck estate westof Garnerville, Cardinal Spellman made a decision to establisha new parish which would be named in honor of the recentlycanonized Gregory Cardinal Barbarigo. That property cost$185,000. On Friday, June 16, Father Thomas J. Darby, aprofessor of history at Cathedral College was appointed as thefirst pastor. Mass was celebrated the very next day at theformer Forester’s Hall on Railroad Avenue which had been amission church of St. Peter in Haverstraw. Mass was latermoved to the Lo-Tor Skating Rink and then to the BirchwoodCasino of Route 202 behind ShopRite. Next Sunday, we willobserve the 57th anniversary of our foundation. God has beengood to us and continues to shower His blessings upon thepeople who worship under the patronage of St. GregoryBarbarigo.

FATHER’S DAY will be observed next Sunday.On this day, we remember all of our fathers,living and deceased and offer the sacrifice ofthe Mass for them. In your contributionenvelope packet, you will see a special insertfor Father’s Day to enroll their names. These

may be placed in the Sunday offering. Additional envelopesare also in the narthex. Religious Father’s Day cards areavailable at the parish office.

FLAG DAY will be celebrated in the United States on Thursday, June 14. At 1:00 PM, the children from the regional school willparticipate in a ceremony and everyone from the parish is invited to attend. With the increase in patriotic spirit since the war in theGulf, it is especially fitting, as proud American citizens, to demonstrate your love for the flag. Please remember to fly your flag. Manytimes at a funeral, if the deceased was a veteran, the flag that drapes the coffin is presented to the family at the cemetery on behalfof the President of the United States and a grateful nation. Whatever happens to these flags? We would like to be able to use themhere at St. Gregory Barbarigo to fly on our flag staff in front of the regional school. Why not call the office and make arrangementsfor this wonderful opportunity to remember the dead in a tangible way?
