STEWARDSHIP OF GOD’S BLESSINGS
August 26, 2018……………..……..……………. ..$6,852.95 Last year…………………………….……..……......$6,743.65
Thank you for your continued support of our parish and its many needs.
May God bless your generosity to Sacred Heart!
My Dear Friends in Christ,
I recall a story about an old priest who, whenever asked
how he was doing, would respond, “Pray for my
conversion!” Indeed, conversion is the goal of all Christian life. God does love us: this love is unending, irrevocable
and unconditional. Precisely because God loves us so much, God calls us to continual transformation – in mind,
body, and soul – after the image of his Son, Jesus the
Christ. This is perhaps one of the most misunderstood characteristics of God. Unconditional love doesn’t mean
that we don’t need to try; rather, it could (and should) invite us to a deeper imitation of Christ. Think of it this
way: do we not want our spouses, friends, children, and acquaintances to be the best versions of themselves? If
this is so, how could we expect the God and Father of us
all to be any different?
This weekend’s readings both invite us to this conversion and also raise for our consideration some possible areas of
conversion in our lives. To “be doers of the word and not
hearers only” means that we can honestly – and earnestly – in the presence of our God, ask for the Holy Spirit’s true
assistance in identifying what is blocking an improved relationship with God. Need a jumpstart? Let’s listen to
Jesus’ suggestions:
"From within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile."
This Labor Day weekend means school begins again; at the same time, it means that many parish groups and
events (those both familiar and several that are brand new) will begin. Much more will be coming in next week’s
bulletin. In the meantime, please remember that the Parish Offices are closed on Labor Day (only one Mass at
8:30 am) and that weekly Adoration begins this coming
Thursday, September 6 at 3:30 pm in the Blessed Solanus Casey Chapel. Adoration will close with Compline (Night
Prayer) and Benediction at 7:45 each Thursday evening.
With prayers,
The Week Ahead…..

This program is designed for the Christian Initiation of children of catechetical age,
which the church generally considers to be 7 to 15 years old, who may not have received age-appropriate Sacraments.
Children who have not been Baptized, or who did not receive the Sacraments of First Eucharist or Confirmation
at the “regular” time may begin this process beginning in September.

please call the Parish Office at 963-4205.
Adult Faith Formation
We have several Adult Faith Formation Opportunities that are already in place here at
Sacred Heart: RCIA, Br. Richard’s Tuesday morning Discussion Group, Saturday Lectio Divina.
We are looking to start a few small faith groups: different times,
different days as schedules permit.
Whether they be Book Clubs, Prayer Group, Topic Discussion Group, or your ideas
we want to hear about them!
If you would like to start a group, lead a group or would like to find out about a group in formation, please
talk to Fr. Matt or email him with your ideas at
We are a vibrant parish with parishioners with so many talents,
let us hear about them
Faith Formation
RCIA Thinking of becoming Catholic or of completing your Christian initiation in the Catholic community?
The Catholic Church welcomes anyone who in-quires about, or who seeks, full membership in the Church and Gospel life through RCIA (The Rite of Christian initiation of Adults), which is the Church’s process of preparing adults for the reception of the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Eucharist.
Please call or email Fr. John (914-963-4205; [email protected]) if you (or any-one you know) would like to investigate or begin the process of RCIA.
RCIA sessions will begin in early September.
Faith Formation Class
Br. Richard’s class will resume
Tuesday, September 11 at 10:00 AM in parish office.
Subject matter will be Christology, the study of the Person and Natures of Christ,
which will include the Personality of Jesus. Later in the year we will do Sacraments
and time permitting some Church History. New members always welcome!
Children’s Liturgy of the Word The Children’s Liturgy of the Word is a special opportunity for
children at the 9:45 Mass to share the word of God
in an age appropriate reflection.
Children, 4 years through 3rd grade, are invited to come to the
Church Hall where they will celebrate the Liturgy of the Word.
They will return to the church at the Presentation of the Gifts.
Adult volunteers are always welcome!
If you would like to help, please call Deanne in the
Parish Office or email [email protected].
