JANUARY 10, 2021 THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
Fr. Regan
The church was birthed into multiculturalism. Acts 2:1-13 tells us of that victorious day of the Church’s birth.
The Holy Spirit rested on the followers of Jesus who then went out and witnessed to several cultural groups in their own
languages. The receivers of this event were “…amazed and perplexed.” The experiences of witnesses that day were
wonder and awe, inclusion, fulfillment while others thought the followers of Jesus were drunk and absurd. When
speaking about the entire movement of multiculturalism very often the same experiences are expressed. The family of
families involved experience inclusion, invitation amazement while others feel and believe that the entire movement is
absurd and unwarranted.
It is important to first look at multiculturalism in a broad way before looking at its relevancy to our specific
church. Unfortunately, what some people view multiculturalism as is an attempt to “Americanize” the parish.
American culture (in this paradigm) is defined by the predominant group in the parish. The intention of this paradigm
is to “help” the non-predominant group (s) adapt to the mainstream culture. The predominant group seeks to help by
(what would be considered) immersion of the other groups into the mainstream traditions and values. This has an
appearance of being multicultural due to racial and ethnic diversity but is in fact unwelcoming. In reality the culture
of the parish is homogenous with most activities being based on the mainstream values, culture, language and
worldview. Without much explaining we can see how this is not truly a welcoming experience for an immigrant or a
family from a non-predominant group.
The inclusive parish is one in which welcoming all ethnic and cultural groups is a core value. The liturgies and
activities are not designed for any specific group but rather moves toward inclusion and respect during each and every
moment. This means that there is a valiant attempt to provide bi-lingual activities, multicultural social events and a
sensitive approach to liturgy so that no group is excluded. The downfall of this paradigm is that for some the move-
ment towards inclusion is not a substitute for an affirmation of their own religious traditions, language and culture.
Sometimes as a community moves towards inclusion people who they desire to serve feel and experience profound
exclusion.
A segmented parish is one in which the groups share common resources, finances, space and staff but are
rarely if ever in contact with each other. In this paradigm there are dedicated pastoral teams that are specific to the
linguistic and cultural groups. Because of the attention given to each group there is cultural affirmation and
community building which is rallied around cultural and linguistic identity. The problem with this paradigm is
manifold. Because of community isolation this lends itself to frequent cultural differences, misunderstandings and
there is a great deal of time from the pastoral staff settling disputes and arbitrating over space and resources.
Oftentimes the preferential treatment is given towards whichever group is financially supporting the parish the most.
There are many other paradigms of multicultural parishes. Next week we will speak about what understanding
is best and healthiest for our family here at Holy Name of Mary. I would like to leave you with a quote and a few
questions…. Thank you.
“One way of renewing parishes, …to consider the parish as a community of communities … form ecclesial
communities and groups of a size that allows for true human relationships. This will make it possible to live commun-
ion more intensely, ensuring that it is fostered not only “ad intra”, but also with the parish communities to which such
groups belong…In such a human context, it will be easier to gather to hear the word of God, to reflect on the range of
human problems in the light of this word, and gradually to make responsible decisions inspired by the all-embracing
love of Christ. The institution of the parish, thus renewed, “can be the source of great hope. It can gather people in
community, assist family life, overcome the sense of anonymity, welcome people and help them to be involved in their
neighborhood and in society”. In this way, every parish, and especially city parishes, can promote nowadays a more
person-centered evangelization and better cooperate with other social, educational and community work.” (St. Pope
John Paul II The Church in America, Paragraph 41.)
Please reflect on the following few questions:
1) Is our parish warm and welcoming?
2) What brings us together and keeps us apart?
3) What has been your experiences that shaped your feelings towards linguistic and ethnic groups?
4) What would we like to see at Holy Name of Mary (Regarding our multi-cultural dimension)?

JANUARY 10, 2021 THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
La iglesia nació en el multiculturalismo. Hechos 2: 1-13 nos habla de ese día victorioso del nacimiento de la Iglesia.
El Espíritu Santo descansó sobre los seguidores de Jesús que luego salieron y testificaron a varios grupos culturales en sus
propios idiomas. Los receptores de este evento estaban "... asombrados y perplejos". Las experiencias de los testigos ese
día fueron de asombro y sobrecogimiento, inclusión, satisfacción, mientras que otros pensaban que los seguidores de Jesús
estaban borrachos y eran absurdos. Cuando se habla de todo el movimiento del multiculturalismo, a menudo se expresan
las mismas experiencias. Las familias involucradas experimentan inclusión, asombro por invitación, mientras que otros
sienten y creen que todo el movimiento es absurdo e injustificado.
Es importante mirar primero el multiculturalismo de una manera amplia antes de ver su relevancia para nuestra
iglesia específica. Desafortunadamente, lo que algunas personas ven como el multiculturalismo es un intento de
“americanizar” la parroquia. La cultura estadounidense (en este paradigma) está definida por el grupo predominante en
la parroquia. La intención de este paradigma es "ayudar" a los grupos no predominantes a adaptarse a la cultura
dominante. El grupo predominante busca ayudar mediante (lo que se consideraría) la inmersión de los otros grupos en
las tradiciones y valores dominantes. Esto tiene la apariencia de ser multicultural debido a la diversidad racial y étnica, pero
de hecho no es acogedor. En realidad, la cultura de la parroquia es homogénea y la mayoría de las actividades se basan en
los valores, la cultura, el idioma y la cosmovisión principales. Sin mucha explicación, podemos ver cómo esta no es
realmente una experiencia acogedora para un inmigrante o una familia de un grupo no predominante.
La parroquia inclusiva es aquella en la que dar la bienvenida a todos los grupos étnicos y culturales es un valor
fundamental. Las liturgias y actividades no están diseñadas para ningún grupo específico, sino que avanzan hacia
la inclusión y el respeto en todos y cada uno de los momentos. Esto significa que hay un valiente intento de proporcionar
actividades bilingües, eventos sociales multiculturales y un enfoque sensible de la liturgia para que ningún grupo quede
excluido. La caída de este paradigma es que, para algunos, el movimiento hacia la inclusión no sustituye a la afirmación de
sus propias tradiciones religiosas, lengua y cultura. A veces, a medida que una comunidad avanza hacia la inclusión,
las personas a las que desean servir sienten y experimentan una profunda exclusión.
Una parroquia segmentada es aquella en la que los grupos comparten recursos, finanzas, espacio y personal en
común, pero rara vez o nunca están en contacto entre sí. En este paradigma hay equipos pastorales dedicados que son
específicos de los grupos lingüísticos y culturales. Debido a la atención que se le da a cada grupo, existe una afirmación
cultural y una construcción comunitaria que se concentra en torno a la identidad cultural y lingüística. El problema con este
paradigma es múltiple. Debido al aislamiento de la comunidad, esto se presta a frecuentes diferencias culturales, malenten-
didos y hay mucho tiempo para que el personal pastoral resuelva disputas y arbitre sobre el espacio y los recursos.
A menudo, el trato preferencial se le da al grupo que más apoya financieramente a la parroquia.
Hay muchos otros paradigmas de parroquias multiculturales. La semana que viene hablaremos sobre qué
comprensión es mejor y más saludable para nuestra familia aquí en Holy Name of Mary. Me gustaría dejarles un presupuesto
y algunas preguntas…. Gracias.
“Una forma de renovar parroquias, ... considerar la parroquia como una comunidad de comunidades ... formar
comunidades y grupos eclesiales de un tamaño que permita verdaderas relaciones humanas. Esto permitirá vivir
la comunión con mayor intensidad, procurando que se fomente no solo “ad intra”, sino también con las comunidades
parroquiales a las que pertenecen dichos grupos… En un contexto tan humano, será más fácil reunirse para escuchar
la palabra de Dios, reflexionar sobre la gama de problemas humanos a la luz de esta palabra, y gradualmente tomar
decisiones responsables inspiradas por el amor omnipresente de Cristo. La institución de la parroquia, así renovada, “puede
ser fuente de gran esperanza. Puede reunir a las personas en comunidad, ayudar a la vida familiar, superar el anonimato,
acoger a las personas y ayudarlas a participar en su barrio y en la sociedad ”. De esta manera, cada parroquia, y especial-
mente las parroquias de la ciudad, pueden promover hoy en día una evangelización más centrada en la persona y cooperar
mejor con otros trabajos sociales, educativos y comunitarios ”. (San Papa Juan Pablo II La Iglesia en América, párrafo 41.)
Por favor, reflexione sobre las siguientes preguntas.
1) ¿Es nuestra parroquia cálida y acogedora?
2) ¿Qué nos une y nos separa?
3) ¿Cuáles han sido sus experiencias que moldearon sus sentimientos hacia los grupos lingüísticos y étnicos?
4) ¿Qué nos gustaría ver en Holy Name of Mary (en cuanto a nuestra dimensión multicultural)?

Covid 19 has impacted our families and Church in many
ways. This parish was pained by losing her kind and
compassionate pastor, Msgr. Rom, due to Covid-
19. Around Long Island, churches have seen an average

Mary, we are averaging a weekly decline of 30-40 percent
in offerings.
Please consider what your family is capable of giving. Con-
sider the needs of your family, how the pandemic
impacted your home, speak and pray about it as a family

Beginning Monday, January 4th, 2021,
Mass will be celebrated at 8:30am
every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday mornings,
in addition to the 12:10pm Mass.
On Wednesdays, we are adding an
evening Mass at 7:30pm! (There will be no 8:30am Mass on
Wednesday, only 12:10pm and 7:30pm.)
Today’s Feast marks the conclusion of the
Christmas Season and the beginning of
Ordinary Time. It’s a feast of transition from
Jesus’ hidden life to that of His public
ministry. It also echoes the theme of the
Epiphany in that the Baptism of the Lord is
another manifestation announcing Jesus’
divinity to all of His first followers and to the
disciples of John the Baptist.
As we prepare to begin Ordinary Time, reflect,
today, upon these words of the Father at the
Baptism of Jesus. Hear the Father speaking to
You about the divinity of His Son. Turn your
eyes to Jesus and prepare yourself to follow
Him and to heed every word He speaks. He
was sent into this world to draw us to
the Father, allow Him to fulfill that mission
in your own life.
Lord, I believe that You are the Son of the Eternal Father and the Savior of the World. I believe that
You have brought about a new era of grace and truth and that I am called to follow You wherever
You lead. As we begin this liturgical season of Ordinary Time, may it be a time of extraordinary
grace in which I daily heed Your voice. Jesus, I trust in You.

JANUARY 10, 2021 THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
Tough times?
Throughout history, God
has proven his faithfulness
and care over and over again.
He promises that He will help
you through
whatever tough
times you face.
“God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Lean on Him.
Tune out the world and tune into
God
In our noisy world, it
can be hard to hear
God’s voice over the
din. Yet, listening is
as important as
talking during prayer. “By waiting and by calm you shall be saved, in quiet and in trust your strength lies” (Isaiah 30:15). Talk to Him
often, but make a point of listening
for God’s voice.
“Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6).
Why do
Catholics
Do That
Why do Catholics honor the image of
the Sacred Heart of Jesus?
The image of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus is
a symbol of Christ’s love
for us. It is often a heart
surrounded by flame,
pierced by a lance,
topped by a cross, and
circled by a crown of thorns.
Jesus’ love for us burns
bright and intense like
a flame. His heart is
pierced by the lance
representing our sins and
the crown of thorns and
the cross remind us of the
death he suffered to bring us life.
When times are tough, it can be
our family and friends who help
us through. There wasn't much
Jesus wouldn't do for His friends.
In fact, He was more concerned
with being a good friend than with
having one. In our current
pandemic situation, we can care
for our loved ones as Jesus
would:
Make spending time
together a priority.
Connections between
loved ones are critical
now. When meeting in
person isn’t possible,
phone calls, letters, and emails
can keep us connected. Video
conferencing has become a
staple of daily life; consider
organizing regular get-togethers
with friends and family using your
favorite conferencing program.
Help other people feel important.
No matter how you interact, give
the other person your full
attention in conversation, and
show appreciation and
understanding for what he is
saying.
Celebrate your friends’
successes.
A true friend is genuinely happy
when something good happens in
the other's life.
Value differences.
Don't try to change
your loved ones.
Celebrate their
diversity.
Be willing to
apologize. You may
let each other down
but a sincere apology can bring
friends closer together.
Don't forget old friends.
Call someone you haven't been
in touch with for a long time.
Don't know what to say? Try,
"I don't want another moment to
go by without being in touch.
I've missed you."

JANUARY 10, 2021 THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
FEASTS & CELEBRATIONS
Jan. 1 – Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. Today,
we honor Mary, but also Jesus as God. In their honor, pray a Rosary.
Although not a Holy Day of Obligation in many dioceses this year, Mass
attendance or streaming is encouraged.
Jan. 25 – The Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle (1st Century). Setting
out for Damascus to carry on the persecution of the Christians, he
encountered Christ (Acts 9:1-19; 22:5-16; 26:12-18) while on the road
to Damascus. He was struck blind from the experience until he was
baptized by Ananias three days later. He converted and began preaching
the faith as he travelled around the Mediterranean.
Jan. 26 – St. Timothy and St. Titus (1st Century). Timothy was a convert of
St. Paul’s and later became his trusted friend, joining him in apostolic
work. He was with Paul at the founding of the Church in Corinth. Titus,
also a friend of Paul’s, served the early Church as a peacemaker and
administrator to a community on Crete.
Mark 1:21-28, God’s
authority is not a formality
Q & A
How can I choose Catholic
references that are accurate
and faithful?
One good way to determine whether or not a book
or pamphlet accurately reflects Catholic doctrine is
to look for an “imprimatur” printed in the first few
pages of the book. The presence of an imprimatur
generally means that a bishop’s office has
determined it to be free of doctrinal or moral errors.
It may be accompanied by a “nihil obstat” (Latin for
“nothing stands in the way”) which means that
someone well-versed in Catholic theology has
reviewed the contents and found the same thing.
Keep in mind that neither the imprimatur nor the
nihil obstat imply agreement with the content or
opinions.
It is particularly important for a book that purports
to teach about the faith of the Church to carry the
approval of the Catholic Church. There are many
well-meaning people who intend to educate others
about God’s in-nite love but may have an imperfect
understanding of Catholic doctrine. When choosing
materials to learn more about our religion, you will
want to be sure that they are accurate.
In this Gospel passage, Jesus and his apostles entered the
synagogue at Capernaum where Jesus taught those gathered at the
Sabbath. It was customary for learned teachers to say, “Thus says
the Lord…” Instead Jesus said, “I say to you …” He taught as one
who spoke with the authority of God.
His calm authority astounded Jesus’ listeners. Just as they began
to wonder what it meant, he gave them a sign. He further demon-
strated his authority by performing an exorcism. Spirits that
bedeviled an unfortunate man at the synagogue recognized who
Jesus was. They were forced to obey Him when he commanded
them to depart, despite their reluctance. In fact, God’s power and
authority isn’t just a formality. What God says, happens.
Our kind and gentle Savior is also our powerful and awesome
Lord. As the Second Person of the Trinity, Jesus has supreme
majesty and we will one day appear before Him to be judged. Yes,
he is our divine savior and mediator. But if we say, “Jesus is Lord,”
then we give Him our loyalty and obedience.

God gives to us freely, but what does he want in return?
Simply put, God wants us to love Him back.
Know Him. God made each of us with a space in our heart
just for Him. Until we discover it, we may try to fill it with
earthly things, but nothing else fits. When we turn to Him,
the reward is beyond our dreams.
Love Him. Jesus said, "You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your
mind” (Matthew 22:37). He wants us to surrender to his
infinite love. Show your love by praying frequently, seeking
Communion with Him often, and praising Him continually.
Serve Him. “'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the
least of these my brethren, you did it to me'” (Matthew
25:40). When we make sure everyone has enough to eat,
warm clothes to wear, and a place to stay, Jesus takes it
personally. It’s what he wants from us.

JANUARY 10, 2021 THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
PENITENTIAL ACT I confess to almighty God And to you, my brothers and sisters, That I have greatly sinned, In my thoughts and in my words, In what I have done and In what I have failed to do, (Pray while striking the breast three times)
through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; Therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, All the Angels and Saints, And you, my brothers and sisters, To pray for me to the Lord our God. GLORIA Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
NICENE CREED I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
(At the words that follow, up to and including
and became man, bow your head) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
