Pastor’s Letter
On Paying Attention
July 6/7
Dear Parish Family,
Except for the traffic, it was really wonderful to have the Women’s Open right here in our own
backyard. It had been a few years since I was at a professional golf event and as I walked around the
course I was impressed with the quiet. Golf is a very attentive and respectful sport. The fans talk in
hushed tones and are absolutely quiet when a player is making a shot. A golf tournament is probably
the only place in the world where you do not hear a cell phone go off every two minutes! It is so
different from every other sport where the fans loudly cheer the competitors on every play. In a way, it
is very refreshing.
Being focused and paying quiet attention like that is difficult. I am not talking about golf now. In
the book Blue Highways, which is written about a cross country trip taken on all back roads, author
William Least Heat-Moon describes a moment when he stops by a spring under a grove of sycamore
trees. He writes: “Sitting full in the moment, I practiced on the god-awful difficulty of just paying
attention. It’s a contention of my father’s—believing as he does that anyone who misses the journey
misses about all he’s going to get—that people become what they pay attention to. Our observations
and curiosity, they make and remake us.”
Our faith and our spiritual journey depend on attention. Even our relationships require attention.
Imagine trying to be a friend, spouse, parent, or companion if we never step back from the noise and
busyness of life to give others the wonderful gift of our undivided attention. We, too, can block the
attention of another by being too busy and distracted to receive it. There is no question in my mind that
the greatest gift we have to give to another is our attention. And I have often thought that prayer is not
so much something we do for God as it is stopping long enough to receive the attention that God is
always giving to us. That’s why just about every spiritual writer tells us that prayer begins with being
quiet, emptying our mind for even a few moments of the compulsive concerns that drive the rest of
life. As the Psalmist writes: Be still and know that I am God (Psalm 46).
Paying attention is a constant battle. In our modern world the motto seems to be that the good
person is the busy person. We feel guilty about having a moment in which there is nothing to do,
nowhere to go, no work to accomplish. It takes some planning and effort to find a way to stop for a
minute and pay attention to our lives, to each other, and to our God. In a way, church is like that golf
course! It is here that we invite you to be quiet for a moment, to turn off that cell phone, to to be
attentive to the things most important.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Michael A. Vetrano
Pastor

Education
Since Sister Assunta announced that this spring she would
conclude her ministry here as Director of Religious
Education we have been looking for someone to take up
the awesome work of educating our young people in the
faith. Sr. Assunta did a wonderful job and finding a good
person to lead us would not be easy. I am happy to
announce that Jennifer Ferrantino will be joining us as
director beginning this July. Jennifer has an excellent
background in education and in human development. She
will shortly be completing a degree in Psychology from
Stony Brook University. Jennifer and her family have
been active members of our Sacred Hearts family for
many years and I know she will bring many good ideas and resourcefulness to the work of faith
formation here in our parish. Please join in welcoming her and supporting her as she begins this
most important ministry.
Religion and the Great Question: When does life begin?
Over the centuries, but very poignantly in the last few decades, scientists and theologians have
challenged each other’s understanding of when exactly life begins. How this question is considered
and answered has far reaching consequences for many modern medical and moral issues.
Discussions and Talks at the Basilica
On Monday, July 22nd, Fr. Mike will speak on how this thinking has
evolved in both scientific and religious communities. Please join us.
Miracles and the Apparitions of Mary
Monday—July 8th at 7 PM
Parishioner Bill Hattrick will present a talk on miracles and apparitions of Mary
as a tangible and important source of faith. Included will be the apparitions at
Lourdes, Fatima , Medjugorje. These revelations are an important part of the
Lord’s promise to be always with his church.
Angelus and Diving Mercy Chaplet with Msgr. Jim Vlaun
Tuesday, July 30th
Msgr. Jim Vlaun will be with us at noon to tape the praying of the Angelus and
Divine Mercy Chaplet. These prayers as well as Sunday Mass are aired regularly
on Telecare TV and bring the joy of our faith to many homebound Catholics
across our nation. Parishioners with a devotion to Mary and to the Divine Mercy
are invited to join Msgr. Jim that day. Please arrive early!
World Apostolate of Fatima to bring the National
Pilgrim Virgin Statue to the Basilica
On Tuesday, July 16, the World Apostolate of Fatima, an organization that promotes
faith in the apparitions and message of Fatima, will be coming to SHJM for morning
mass at 8 AM followed by a talk and an opportunity to pray before a Statue of Our Lady
of Fatima that has been presented in churches around the world. This special time of
prayer will conclude at noon.
Mother’s Day Rose Sale Benefits
SHJM Respect Life Ministry
Grand Knight Ken Moffa presents Father Mike with a check for
$500, the proceeds from the Mother’s day rose sale which will
be used to help us begin our Respect Life Ministry and Ministry
of Praise prayer ministry. Thank you to the K of C for always

Corrigan and Joan Heinz have graciously offered to chair the party. This year our party will honor
Mary Steinbrecher, one of the party’s most enthusiastic supporters over many years. Mary passed

Compartir la Cruz del Señor - El tema que explora la
Palabra de hoy es básico para los cristianos: cada uno
de nosotros, como discípulos de Jesús, es enviado a
compartir la cruz del Señor como signo de sufrimiento
y como instrumento de victoria y de resurrección. El
mismo Señor que desvía los ríos hacia Jerusalén
(primera lectura), cuida de cada uno de nosotros y nos
fortalece cuando nos rechazan o no nos aceptan. En la
Iglesia y a través de ella, descubrimos el cuidado de
nuestro Dios por medio de nuestros hermanos y
hermanas en la fe. Nuestro testimonio de vida debe
hablar de ese Dios y de esa unidad eclesial a la que
hemos sido llamados desde el bautismo. By Juan J. Sosa, Pbro.,

Requisitos para el Bautismo de un Niño
Curso: Para bautizar a su hijo, es necesario que los padres y
padrinos asistan al curso pre-bautismal. Traiga consigo el
acto de nacimiento del niño.
Padrinos: Debe escoger a los padrinos conscientes de los
requisitos. Los padrinos tienen que haber recibido sus tres
sacramentos de iniciación (Bautismo, Primera Comunión y
confirmación) y deben poder comulgar, es decir no deben
estar viviendo en unión libre o casados por civil nada más,
El padrino (madrina) debe ser un(a) soltero(a) o debe ser
casado por la iglesia.
Permisos: Si viven afuera de la zona servida por el
Apostolado Hispano, necesitan una carta de su párroco
dándonos permiso para bautizar su hijo.
Es el Ministerio de Dios - Jesús llama a sus discípulos
a la humildad. Los que ejercemos algún ministerio
caemos en una trampa cuando sentimos que, sin
nosotros, todo ministerio dejaría de existir. No es
nuestro ministerio, sino el ministerio de Dios, hecho
por medio de nosotros. Es Dios, quien con sus obras
formidables, produce una cosecha abundante.

Sharing the Gospel
Jesus told his apostles, "If the people of a town welcome you, eat whatever they offer. They may give
you bread and water. They may share fish, meats,
fruits, and vegetables with you. Heal their sick."
The apostles were given the power to heal others.
Many scientists search for new medicines to cure
diseases. When you pray for others, God hears
your prayers. God's love and forgiveness can heal
the body, mind, and soul of the sick.
Prayer
Lord, help me heal others with kind words.
Something to Draw
Draw yourself putting a Band-Aid on your
brother or sister.
Mission for the Week
Each morning I will pray for doctors, nurses,
and scientists who cure the sick.
