Thank you for your generosity!
Pastor’s Letter July 4/5 Dear Parish Family, Summer is a special season here at Sacred Hearts. The beauty of our church and the wonderful setting of Southampton can seem magical. The generosity of our year round families and friends and summer visitors has maintained the basilica and supported the work that goes on within its walls. As we prepare for our annual Summer Appeal collection next week, I want to tell you about some important opportunities for the growth of our ministries this year. Here at Sacred Hearts, the work of ministry should be just as beautiful as our basilica church. First of all, our parish has a unique opportunity this year to partner with Catholic Charities in the development of a parish social ministry. This ministry will help us to reach out to the many people who depend on our parish. Our seniors, our homebound parishioners, those in hospitals and nursing homes rely on their faith community for assistance with a variety of needs. A parish social ministry coordinator will help to involve all of us and most especially our young people in the call of the gospel to care for the least of our brothers and sisters. On the subject of youth ministry, our parish is continuing its efforts to develop an active ministry for our high school and college students. We hope to do more this year with the youth ministry team that provides our Confirmation retreat. We are also hoping to have the services of a youth minister for our young parishioners. Finally, the largest growing body of parishioners is our Spanish Apostolate. Under the direction of Fr. Trench, Sacred Hearts was the founding church for this ministry and is still the center for their spiritual and educational efforts on behalf of our Spanish speaking Catholics. Fr. Steve and Fr. Marvin, two Vincentian priests who live at the Vincentian house here in Southampton, are tireless in their ministry which extends from Riverhead to Montauk. They drive over 250 miles a week to keep up with the spiritual needs of this community. This year six parishes, including our own, are collaborating to secure the services of a third Vincentian priest in this ministry. None of these opportunities would be possible without your generous support. In your generosity to the Summer Appeal, please keep in mind that our parish is a center of life not only in the summer but in every season of the year and in the most joyful and sorrowful times of people’s lives. Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Michael A. Vetrano, Pastor

Did you know... about Bernard Nathanson, MD, abortion proponent turned Pro-Life? Dr. Nathanson was a New York City
Obstetrician-Gynecologist who, in the 1960's, ran the largest freestanding abortion clinic in the world, and was a
founding member of the National Abortion Rights Action League, or NARAL. He presided over more than 60,000
abortions, doing thousands himself. In the late 1970's, in part because of the availability of improved ultrasound imaging,
he began to question the morality of his actions, and completely changed his mind, becoming an outspoken opponent of
abortion. He wrote extensively on the subject, including a book titled "The Hand of God: A Journey from Death to Life". In
1996, he converted from Judaism, and became Catholic, being Baptized by John Cardinal O'Connor. He always
emphasized that he came to Catholicism after he became convinced that abortion was wrong -- not because the Church
said so; he was attracted in great part because one could find forgiveness in the Catholic church. Dr. Nathanson died at
the age of 84, and was buried from St. Patrick's Cathedral, in New York City.
Sunday’s readings make it clear: It isn’t easy being a follower of Jesus. It isn’t even
easy being Jesus. St. Paul certainly knew that, as did the prophets before and since him.
If you want a job where people are likely to reject you and your message, answer God’s
call: “Hard of face and obstinate of heart are they to whom I am sending you.” Never-
theless, that is not just the call of ancient times, but our call, too. Whether it’s Pope
Francis addressing those who put profit over people and the Earth, our local bishops
calling for immigration reform, or you advocating for greater gun control in a gun-
loving nation, be prepared to be ignored, refuted, or rebuked. But most of all, be pre-
pared to stand strong in your faithfulness to the One who sends you.

Dear Friends,
Joseph believes his involvement in Youth Ministry has been one of the most important inspira-
tions in his life.
Your donation to the Catholic Ministries Appeal ensures that young people like Joseph have an
opportunity to connect with Catholic Youth Ministry programs throughout Long Island. Here they
can develop a relationship with God that will lead to a life of prayer and service, coupled with the
support and socialization of other young people who embrace the same Church and values.
“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 Parish 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.

“Alabado seas, mi Señor, por la hermana nuestra madre tierra” - En 1971 el beato Papa Pablo VI se refirió a la problemática ecológica, presentándola como una crisis, que es “una consecuencia dramática “de la actividad descontrolada del ser humano: “Debido a una explotación inconsiderada de la naturaleza, [el ser humano] corre el riesgo de destruirla y de ser a su vez víctima de esta degradación“. También habló… subrayando la “urgencia y la necesidad de un cambio radical en el comportamiento de la humanidad”, porque “los progresos científicos más extraordinarios, las proezas técnicas más sorprendentes, el crecimiento económico más prodigioso, si no van acompañados por un auténtico progreso social y moral, se vuelven en definitiva contra el hombre”. San Juan Pablo II… advirtió que el ser humano parece “no percibir otros significados de su ambiente natural, sino solamente aquellos que sirven a los fines de un uso inmediato y consumo”. Sucesivamente llamó a una conversión ecológica global. Pero al mismo tiempo hizo notar que se pone poco empeño para “salvaguardar las condiciones morales de una auténtica ecología humana”. El auténtico desarrollo humano posee un carácter moral y supone el pleno respeto a la persona humana, pero también debe prestar atención al mundo natural y “tener en cuenta la naturaleza de cada ser y su mutua conexión en un sistema ordenado”. Por lo tanto, la capacidad de transformar la realidad que tiene el ser humano debe desarrollarse sobre la base de la donación originaria de las cosas por parte de Dios. Tomado de la Carta Encíclica Laudato Si’ del Santo Padre Francisco sobre el Cuidado se la Casa Común, 24 de mayo, Solemnidad de Pentecostés, del año 2015 §4-5.
Seguro de Salud para Niños - La representante de Fidelis Care, Konny Tapias, estará en el Apostolado Hispano los miércoles de las 10 AM hasta la 1:00 PM, para ayudar con seguro de salud para los niños.
Libertad y responsabilidad - En la medida en que el hombre hace más el bien, se va haciendo también más libre. No hay verdadera libertad sino en el servicio del bien y de la justicia. La elección de la desobediencia y del mal es un abuso de la libertad y conduce a la esclavitud del pecado. Catequismo de la Iglesia Católica §1733
Intenciones del Papa para Julio Universal: Para que la responsabilidad política sea vivida a todos los niveles como una forma elevada de caridad. Por la Evangelización: Para que, ante las desigualdades sociales, los cristianos de América Latina den testimonio de amor a los pobres y contribuyan a una sociedad más fraterna.
