OUR LITURGY
Peter makes clear the source of the authority of the Apostles.
Jesus, anointed by God, commissioned the Twelve to preach
to all people. Paul teaches that those who seek Christ will be
glorified with Him when He returns. Today’s Gospel
describes the discovery of the empty tomb, but its significance
is not yet fully understood.
FROM THE DESK OF FR. MIKE
“Then the angel said to the women in reply, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking
Jesus the crucified, He is not here, for He has been raise just as He said. Come and see the place
where He lay. Then go quickly and tell His disciples. He has been raised from the dead and He is
going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him.” “And behold, Jesus met them on their way and
greeted them…Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid.”
Today is the great day we have been waiting for, when everything comes into clear focus, as we fully
realize that God can take even death and turn it into eternal life. And it is not just for one day, but every day.
The angel has removed the stone from the tomb and we are filled with great joy, anticipation, and a sense of
abiding peace. JESUS CHRIST HAS RISEN TODAY and with Him the whole Human Race. The whole
Church shouts out Alleluia and we have new hope. Yes, a new hope which makes life totally different,
for we can no longer look at humanity the way we did before the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We have been restored to that which we were meant to be before sin entered into the human family. We
have now shed the black mantle of sin and put on the white garment of the Risen Christ. All we need do is
be open to the Power of Holy Spirit, the power we received in Baptism. We must realize that through the
Risen Christ, we can make a real difference, and we can help others flee from sin and despair and embrace
the new life of Christ. We can indeed do it. We must certainly do it, and with Christ behind us, we can do
anything. So don’t delay, rejoice and be glad and after you celebrate with family and friends, get out and
GET BUSY. Remember we now have 50 Whole days to celebrated Easter.
On behalf of Fathers Paul, Thomas, Mike Boyle, Peter Liu, our Deacons James Altonji, Joseph Califano,
Michael DeBellis, Michael Devenney, Joseph Dougherty, our Seminarian Mr. Lee Descoteaux, and the
entire Parish Staff of Saint Joseph’s, we wish you and your families a very Holy and Happy Easter-may the
peace of the Risen Christ be with you always.
Also, a very special word of thanks to all those who help put together and served at the very festive
breakfast last Saturday in honor of St. Joseph’s Feast Day. Thank you all and God bless you.
Next Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday; we will observe this holy day with a special Holy Hour before the
Blessed Sacrament and the reciting of the chaplet of the Divine Mercy at 3 PM. Also, on that same day at
the 12 Noon Mass we will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Ordination for our dear Father Santiago
(Jimmy) Dineros. He will be the principle celebrant at that Mass and a reception will follow the Mass in
Carew Hall. Happy Anniversary Fr. Dineros, thank you for the many wonderful years of faithful service.
Let us pray, God of unchanging power and light, look with mercy and
favor on your entire Church. Bring lasting salvation to us all, so that the
world may see the fallen lifted up, the old made new, and all things
brought to perfection, through him who is their origin, our Lord Jesus
Christ, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen
HAPPY EASTER

Respect Life
“To kill one human being for the benefit of another
is never morally justifiable”, said Patricia Payne, a
woman suffering from Parkinson’s for 14 years,
adding “to kill the weak in order to benefit the strong is
even more objectionable.” Ms. Payne recently testified
before the Massachusetts Legislature’s newly created
Joint Committee on Economic Development and
Emerging Technologies. She has been selected as one
of a dozen participants in Dr. Michel Levesque’s adult
stem-cell research and therapy program to treat
Parkinson’s.
According to Fr. Tadeusz Pacholczyk (Father Tad),
who studied neuroscience at Yale University and
theology at Gregorian University in Rome, the
Catholic Church supports three of the four ways that
stem-cell research is currently being conducted. They
are: >Adult stem-cell research, involving the growth of
stem cells from the patient’s own tissue or that of
another living donor. >Stem cells developed from
umbilical cord blood or placentas after a delivery is
completed. >Cells from fetal tissue derived from
miscarriages (also called spontaneous abortions), as
long as the parents give informed consent.
The morally unacceptable fourth method is the use
of embryonic stem cells, usually harvested from living
embryos five to seven days after their creation in a test
tube. L.I. Catholic, March 9, 2005

We here in New York State must be on the alert, as both
our Assembly and Senate are planning to introduce
legislation to promote and fund (to the tune of $100
million the first year) embryonic stem cell research.
Because both houses of the Legislature are now actively
discussing the issue, now is the time to make your voice
heard. Contact your Senator and/or your Legislator to
voice your opposition to this plan.
Here’s one address: Hon. --------(your legislator) NYS

Michael Myles, a 5th Grade student at our school, took

foundation to find a cure for children with cancer. The
event calls for volunteers to collect pledges and have their
heads in solidarity with children with cancer—and that’s
just what Michael did! He and his father were one of the
top 5 volunteers who raised the most money. All of St.
Joseph’s School is so proud of you, Michael!

The Office of Youth and Young
Adult Ministry is one of the
areas that receive funding from
the Catholic Ministries Appeal.
It falls under the category of
Education and Formation and
consists of four major program
areas: Parish Youth Ministry
Development, Scouting, CYO
Support and Young Adult
Ministry.
Parish Youth Ministry
Development offers services
including a course on youth
ministry, retreats and prayer
days. It was also through its
efforts that over 550 youth of our
Diocese traveled to Toronto in
2002 to join Pope John Paul II
for World Youth Day.
Scouting has been adopted as
part of the Church’s ministry to
young people. Under the
guidance and support of Youth
and Young Adult Ministry,
activities for Catholic girls and
boys involved in Scouting, such
as Retreats and Pilgrimages are
offered so that young scouts can
grow in wisdom and grace
before God.
The CYO Support program
assists parishes in various areas
such as conducting an annual
conference for coaches that
emphasizes character
development, sportsmanship, and
spirituality as integral
components of youth sports.
CYO of Nassau & Suffolk is
responsible for the overall
running of the CYO sports
program throughout the Diocese,
which includes 27,000 youth
participants in 100 parishes.
Young Adult Ministry refers to
people in their late teens,
twenties, and early thirties,
whether single, married, or
divorced. It provides them
opportunities through programs
and resources to explore ways of
integrating faith into their lives.
Young Adult Ministry develops
leadership that will awaken,
empower, and strengthen others
in their journey of faith. This
past summer a group of 24
culturally diverse young adults
from our diocese participated in
a weeklong service project in the
Hartford, Connecticut area
working as a community of faith.
They served at various settings,
including a shelter for battered
women, a half-way house for the
mentally challenged, and
Catholic Charities Immigration
Services. This year a group of
young adults is planning a
similar experience at various
sites on Long Island.

How fair and lovely is the hope that the Lord gave to the dead when He lay down beside them. Rise
up and come forth and sing praise to Him who has raised you from destruction.

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible. ~ Corrie ten Boom
***
It Began With One
It started with Jesus,
One drop of His blood,
It started as one drop
And welled to a flood.
His gift made your heart clean.
He made you His own.
Now you are His vessel,
To pass the gift on.
Go double the harvest,
Go spread His love out,
Go bless other people,
Go water the drought.

Even Used Inkjet Cartridges,
Have Their Uses
We have found a way to help St Joseph and keep those
complicated pieces of plastic, metal and printed circuit
boards out of the land fill. Drop them off (in a plastic
baggie) when you come to mass. We will send them to a
company who reuses them and gives the parish a bounty for
each. One note, to clear confusion, if it is larger than a fist,
it is not an inkjet cartridge!!!
