OUR LITURGY
Speaking through Isaiah, God tells of the power
of His
word to do His will upon the earth. Through a
parable,
Jesus teaches the crowd that the word of God is
planted in
the rich soil of the faithful so as to
bear abundant fruit.
Paul writes that all of creation awaits the
abundant harvest
of freedom that will shine forth in the lives of
God’s
children.
Mark your calendars for the Monday Evenings of
Prayer and Fellowship on the Rectory Lawn at 7
PM.
Bring your Rosaries, a Lawn Chair, and perhaps a
nice dessert to share with your parish family.
See
you there!
Special thanks to Mr. Thomas Waring for
donating his time and talents to the parish by
putting
up the new wooden fence by the School Yard,
Religious Education, and Parish Outreach.
Thanks,
to the whole Waring family for all they do for
St.
Joseph’s. This certainly one of the ways that we
get
things done here, and that’s what makes St.
Joseph’s
such a special place.
Let us close with these questions: In terms of
finding God, when has your life seemed filled
with
particularly good soil? How did you respond?
When has it seem particularly rocky? How did
you respond?
God Bless you always.
Fr. Mike

Here we are just 2 weeks out of school, and we
are
being taught again, but this time the teacher is
Jesusnot
bad. The Divine Teacher is speaking directly to
our hearts in the form of Parables. God’s word
for
those who will listen will accomplish all that
God
wants it to achieve, as we see in the reading
from
Isaiah. “…so shall my word be that goes forth
from my
mouth; my word shall not return to me void, but
shall
do my will, achieving the end for which I sent
it.”
Perhaps there are times you have asked, like the
disciples, why can’t Jesus speak plainly? Why
does He
speak in Parables? Well it all goes to
what God
intends for His word, or better yet, who God
intends to
act upon His word! For anyone who has ears
should
listen and realize that Jesus’ Parables are more
than
just interesting stories, for they contain so
much more.
For the parables reveal the Reign of God as
a mystery,
and God’s mysteries are not to be explained in
prose
that will render them commonplace and be ignored
by
people, nor are they to be in such esoteric
language
that they are too hard to understand. No, the
parable
invites us to see God in the familiar rounds of
daily
life, as in the sowing of seeds, and to
contemplate
quietly until the commonplace awakens our minds
and
hearts to the wonder of the mystery and deepen
our
understanding.
Now the parables are explained to the disciples
(and
in turn us) because they (and hopefully us) have
already accepted the invitation to follow Jesus.
With
this acceptance, comes the gift of grace that
enables
them (us) to explore and understand the deeper
significance-“blessed are your eyes because
they see,
and your ears because they hear.”
Just 10 More Days Until the 10th
Summer Family
Festival, and we certainly would like to thank
the
many local businesses that donated prizes,
services, or
sponsored booths, rides, and even whole nights.
They
have helped us a great deal in making the
Festival a
success. Please thank them for their generous
gift to
St. Joseph’s by patronizing them. Thanks, to all
who
have volunteered to help at the Festival-we
could not
do it without you! There are still Limited
Raffle
Tickets available and don’t forget the many
Basket
Raffles and so much more… Come out and support
the Festival/ St. Joseph’s and come out and have
a
good time. Come early and come often! Remember
the Festival is one of the main fund/fun raisers
for the
Parish-so we need your help.

RESPECT LIFE
On June 22nd the
New York State Senate voted 34 to
27 in favor of bill number A.116/S.3661 which
would
allow the unfettered distribution of “emergency
contraception” to any female regardless of age
or health
condition and without a prescription. These
high-dose
birth control pills not only prevent conception,
but can act
as an abortifacient. As of this writing the bill
has not yet
been sent to the Governor’s office for his
signature.
The Respect Life Office of the Diocese of
Rockville Centre is requesting that everyone
contact Governor Pataki and urge him to veto
bill number A.116/S.3661.
Contact Governor Pataki: E-mail –
www.state.ny.us/governor. Click “contact the
Governor” on left menu. Or you may telephone him
at:
518-474-8390. Write the Governor at: Executive
Chamber, State Capitol, 2nd
floor, Albany NY 12223.
Please send a copy of your correspondence to:
Richard
Platkin, Esq., Counsel to the Governor.
Following are a few “talking points” for when
you
speak or write to the Governor:
*In 2004 the FDA ruled that the morning-after
pill should
not be distributed without a prescription and
declined a
request to allow the drugs to be soldover the
counter.
Why should the NYS legislature encourage greater
access
to the drugs than the FDA?
*Emergency contraceptives can either prevent
fertilization or destroy an already fertilized
egg, thereby
causing, in effect, an early abortion.
*The bill will undermine families by allowing
school
nurses and drugstore pharmacists to dispense
these drugs
without parental approval or guidance. Any 14-year-old
child could obtain the pills without a
physician’s exam or
oversight.
Marketing these drugs as “contraception” only is
false
advertising and denies women informed consent.
Women
deserve to know that these pills can either
prevent
pregnancy or destroy a developing embryo.

Catholic Ministries Appeal 2005
Like the veteran star of school
plays that she is, 11-year-old
Soraya Navia of St. Brigid’s in
Westbury spoke eloquently at
Masses last weekend on behalf of
the Catholic Ministries Appeal.
Many in the diocese would
instantly recognize Soraya. As the
“Poster girl” for the Appeal, her
picture, beaming with enthusiasm,
appears on the cover of all Appeal
brochures. With confidence and
feeling, she reminded the
congregation of all the good that’s
accomplished by the Catholic
Ministries Appeal, including the
ministries of Catholic Charities,
Catholic education, priestly
formation and local parish aid. In
particular, she encouraged support
for seniors, poor children and,
close to home, much-needed
repairs at St. Brigid’s. St. Brigid’s
is still embarking on an all-out
effort to reach and surpass its
Appeal goal. If the enthusiastic
applause that greeted Soraya’s
superb performance is any
indication, St. Brigid’s campaign
is sure to succeed.
St. Joseph’s by the
Numbers
Goal $74,800.
Pledged 50,413.
Percentage of Goal
67.4 %
Soraya herself is a perfect
example of the excellence our
Catholic schools foster. A student
at St. Brigid’s elementary school,
she will be entering the sixth
grade in September. Her dream,
not surprisingly, is a career in the
performing arts. Her father, a
college professor, and her mother,
a teacher and highly regarded
professional translator, knew the
value of a top notch education and
chose the Catholic school system,
not only for Soraya, but also for
her three older sisters, now all
enjoying successful careers.
Your support of the Catholic
Ministries Appeal helps the many
worthwhile programs that Soraya
spoke of to continue, so that the
poorest and most vulnerable on
Long Island can live better lives.
Please give as generously as you
can to the Appeal. You can

Appeal by calling 516-379-5210

Please Help
Evan McAteer ‘s (a kindergarten student at St
Joseph’s) aunt, Allison
McAteer, is very sick. She is an elementary
Teacher Assistant and not married.
Unfortunately, she also has no medical insurance
coverage. Financially she just
makes ends meet. She has two neurological
disorders, Syringomyelia and Chiari
Malformation. Surgery is necessary to treat this
condition. The procedure involves
removing a piece of the skull in the back of the
head near the bottom (craniectomy).
Having to go through this ordeal is difficult
enough but the financial burden that it
is creating is almost too much to bear.
Evan’s family is trying to raise funds to help
defray some of her medical
expenses. They would appreciate any donation
which will go toward the cost of her
medical care. They are very concerned and hope
that you will keep her and the
family in your prayers.
Any donations should be made directly to
Katherine Yamaguchi (her sister in
law) and dropped off either at the church or
rectory. You may also mail it directly to
Katherine Yamaguchi at 38 West Court Drive,
Centereach, NY 11720

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!!!
