Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church July 8, 2018

From the Pastor:

Venerable Madeleine Delbrêl was a French laywoman who died in 1964. She has much to offer us with her witness to faith. Re-lated to today’s Gospel, she wrote: …. faith exists in an age and for an age. And at that very mo-ment, we are tempted to temporalize or naturalize it. All of a sudden, we are awestruck by the glimpse of eternity faith affords us, and we begin to think that we can best be faithful by being immobile. But, if God is immutable, standing still is not the way to image him. Genuine faith is wholly made to guide us in time toward eternal life, to make us live eternal life already in time…. Nevertheless, genuine, naked faith never finds a comfortable welcome in time. Faith is beset with the questions of an age, it is sometimes questioned by the age, and it is often called into question by the age. And the rule of the game is the law of Re-demption. But if we take our faith as sufficient for us, if we do not add any-thing to it, or take away anything from it, we will be able to be questioned and called into question along with it: but faith will give us life, will tell us how to act and what to say, no matter what sort of age we live in, even if the age is our present age.

God gives us what we need. Let’s live like we truly believe this as faithful Christian people, called to be saints in the world by living lives of grateful love of God.

With love and prayers, Fr. Francis

Recent Collection

Meditation from St. Philip Neri

“Give me ten men really detached from the world, and I have the heart to believe I could convert the world with them.”

Remembering those we love

Consider a Memorial Donation of Altar Bread and Wine, or a Memorial Donation for Altar Flowers for a week.

Flowers will be placed on the altar in the main Church for the weekend and then moved to the Chapel for weekday Masses. The name of your loved one along with the name of the person making the request will be printed in the Bulletin and they will be remembered in a special way by the Priests as they celebrate

Mass.

We will also continue to take requests for the Tabernacle Candle Memorials for both the Main Church and the Chapel . Please call the Parish Office (359-1230) for more information about remembering a loved one.

For Your Planning!

For the 2018—2019 school year our very pop-ular Mommy and Me! program for toddlers and their caregivers will meet on a new day– Friday. Mommy and Me! follows the South Orangetown School Calendar. Sessions will begin on Friday, September 7 and meet every Friday through June 15, with the exception of school holidays and Fridays on which the schools may have emergency closings.

A letter from the Pastor about Registration for Religious Education:

Dear OLSH Families,

On-Line Registration for the Religious Education program at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church for the

2018-2019 School Year began on June 5, 2018 and will close on July 31, 2018.

Currently registered families should have received an email from Parish Giving which will instruct you to reg-

ister on the Parish Giving website. Please use the user name and temporary password to verify your contact infor-

mation and details, make payment and select your class sessions.

Registration is on a FIRST COME – FIRST SERVED BASIS as always. All of our classes have an attendance cap

and once that limit has been reached, we will not be able to accommodate your child/children for that particular

class. You will then need to make a selection from another available day and time. Therefore, it is imperative that

you register early if you are in need of a specific day and time.

Please note that you must be a “registered member” of our Parish to register your child/children in our pro-

gram. If you are not registered, please stop by the rectory between the hours of 9:00am and 3:00pm to do so. You

will need to provide a copy of your child/children’s baptismal certificate(s) before we can process your registra-

tion. Tuition Rates 2018-2019

$150 for one child

$200 for 2 children

$250 for 3+ children

Additional Sacramental Fees: First Holy Communion $80 for each student ($120 for twins)

Confirmation $100 for each student ($160 for twins)

SACRAMENTAL FEES MUST BE PAID AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION

A late fee of $75 will apply for all registration forms received ON or AFTER August 1st.

Religion Class Choices for School Year 2018- 2019

Sundays: 9:00 – 10:15 am classes for all Grades 1 – 8

Mondays: 6:00 – 7:15 pm classes for Grades 6– 8

Tuesdays: 4:30 – 5:45 pm classes for Grades 1 – 8**

Tuesdays: 6:00 – 7:15 pm classes for Grades 7 – 8

Wednesdays: 4:30 – 5:45 pm classes for all Grades 1 – 8

**We have added a 7th and 8th Grade to the Tuesday afternoon session for your convenience.

New families, especially those with first graders, should contact the RE office at 365-2141 as soon as possible to

begin the registration process.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that, as parents, you are expected to take an active

role in your child/children’s faith formation. As children participate weekly in the celebration of the Eucharist along

with other daily practices that nourish their life of faith, they are strengthening the foundation of a faith life that will

carry them well into the future. Weekly Mass attendance is a requirement for their faith development so please

remain diligent in attending. You are their first and foremost teachers.

Thank you for your partnership. Together we can continue to educate the children that God has entrusted

in our care. Please do not hesitate to call the office if you have any questions (Religious Ed. office hours 9:00am –

2:00pm, 845-365-2141). We are looking forward to another great school year!

God Bless,

Rev. Francis Conka, Pastor
