From the Pastor’s Desk Dear Parishioners,

“Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” (Luke 10:42) In today’s Gospel, we find what is probably a common situation in the lives of families. Mary is busy at home preparing for the visit of Jesus. She is cooking and cleaning knowing that there will be many guests who will come to hear Him. Martha, it seems, has neglected that aspect of hospitality and has chosen instead to sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to His words. Mary is upset by this and probably feels angry that all the work is falling on her. So she goes to complain to Jesus expecting that He will side with her. Jesus surprises Mary and tells her that her sister, Martha, has chosen the better part. How many times have we experienced those moments of feeling like all the work falls on us and become resentful of those who seem to be able to “take it easy?”

This can be a tricky and sticky situation. Hospitality is certainly part of the Christian ideal and necessary in a household. So maybe what Jesus is pointing out is that there are times we can be so concerned about making things “nice” for guests, that we really never leave the time to sit and enjoy their company. Maybe we, like Mary, can, at times, be so consumed with the externals of hospitality that it prevents us from entering into the most important part of having guests...the human interaction. While that is important with anyone who comes into our home, here Mary has Jesus as her guest. Martha knows that Jesus has not only the words of eternal life, but also the way of peace in this life. Martha wants to take in all that Jesus has to offer, and in doing so, seems to be negligent of her other duties. But think about it...if we spend so much time in the preparations that we can’t enjoy those who are with us, we have lost an important aspect of opening our homes and lives to others.

Maybe we can be so concerned about “doing” with family and friends that even our relationship with God can be put on the back burner.

Summertime is traditionally spent with family and friends. We travel and enjoy our time off and the beautiful weather. Do those celebration times become so important and time consuming that we forget to sit before the Lord in prayer and even put our obligation to attend Mass in a place of secondary importance? If so, then maybe we need to hear this Gospel as Jesus speaking to us. Our relationship with Jesus must take precedence.

Maybe the Gospel reminds us that deepening our relationship with God and with each other is so important that activities that keep us from those relationships should be the first to be put on the back burner. Something to ponder.

Last week I included a website that will locate a Catholic Church for you during your travels. So here it is again: www.masstimes.org.

As people are away enjoying trips and time with family, I do ask that you consider “make up” collection envelopes for those weeks you may be away. This is an important way for keeping the parish financially stable.

As always, thank you for your consideration on this matter.

In Jesus, Fr. Bob

New Bereavement Group Seeks Volunteer Facilitators The Parish Social Ministry Office is looking for two volunteers who may feel God’s call to facilitate a Bereavement Group for the parish. Volunteers would be properly trained over a couple of weeks starting in September by Dr. Lou Sabatini. Those being trained would attend a one hour training session and then attend an hour actual bereavement session following the training. Once volunteers are trained, we will hold a bereavement session at St. Mary’s for those who suffer from loneliness and sadness after the loss of their lovedones. Our bereavement session (running eight weeks, one hour and fifteen minutes per week) could be on any day of the week that works for the facilitators. The facilitators could share the responsibility of the sessions so the time commitment could be a little less. The volunteers do not necessarily have to be people who have suffered the loss of someone close to them, but do have to be individuals who would be able to empathize with those who have.

If anyone is interested in volunteering to facilitate this very important session allowing us to build this critical ministry, especially post-COVID, please reach out to Kathleen Kosciusko at kkosciusko@stmary.ws or at 516-365-2705.

Parish Social Ministry Reaches Out to the Elderly and Homebound The Elderly and Homebound Ministry provides a social connection between the parish and the one in need. If you are interested in being contacted by our volunteers, please call the Parish Social Ministry office at 516-365-2705.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus affirms that to be a disciple we must also sit at his feet and listen to him.

St. Vincent de Paul taught that it is only in prayer that we can give selfless loving service to those who are poor.

This week, please say a special prayer each day for the poor and forgotten in our parish.

Our St. Vincent de Paul Conference is able to help our neighbors in need through the generosity of our St. Mary’s parishioners. Each time you donate, either through the collection slots at the doors of the church, or in an envelope marked for St. Vincent de Paul, you are helping our neighbors within St. Mary’s Parish. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, contact the St. Vincent de Paul Society at 516-627-0385, ext. 1125, or email SVDP@stmary.ws.

World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly Next Sunday, July 24th Theme: “In old age they will still bear fruit.” (Psalm 92:15) Pope Francis established the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly in 2021. It is to be celebrated each year on the fourth Sunday of July, to coincide with the feast of Sts. Joachim and Anne, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Their feastday is July 26th. With this special day, he wishes to emphasize the pastoral care of the elderly as a priority. Not only are grandchildren and young people called upon to be present in the lives of older people, but older people and grandparents also have a mission of evangelization, proclamation, prayer, and encouraging young people in their faith.

The Pope is dedicating this year’s celebration to the importance of inviting older people to contribute to building a better world. He has chosen “They shall bear fruit even in old age” from the Book of Psalms (92:15) as its theme. The theme is intended to emphasize how grandparents and the elderly are a value and a gift both for society and for ecclesial communities. On February 15th, the pope tweeted that elderly “should be cared for like a treasure of humanity: they are our wisdom, our memory. It is crucial that grandchildren remain close to their grandparents who are like roots from which they draw the sap of human and spiritual values.”

The St. Francis Hospital Outreach Bus Is Coming to St. Mary’s Friday, July 29th, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the Parking Lot Behind the Church FREE COVID VACCINE & BOOSTERS St. Francis Hospital Outreach Bus will provide free health screenings, which will include a brief cardiac history, blood pressure and a simple blood test for cholesterol and diabetes for adults 18 and older.
