NOVEMBER 9, 2014 THE DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
REFLECTION
Zeal for your house will
consume me. (John 2:17)
Imagine a church adorned
with marble columns,
bursting with colors, gold ceilings, marble floors,
walls covered with New Testament scenes, a mosaic
of Mary and the saints, and a seven-meter high
statue of Jesus Christ. This is the Lateran Basilica in
Rome.
This building isn’t just visually stunning; it has a
rich history as well. As the cathedral of the Diocese
of Rome, it is considered the Pope’s church in his
capacity as bishop of Rome. The emperor
Constantine donated the land for it to Pope
Melchiades around a.d. 311, and had a church built
there for him. Until the construction of St. Peter’s in
the sixteenth century, the popes lived in a residence
built on the site as well.
Over time, the Lateran Basilica has faced many
hardships. It has been sacked, damaged by more
than one fire, and nearly destroyed by an
earthquake. But even in these challenges, this
historic church, which is a symbol for bishops
everywhere, can teach us. Like the Lateran, the
universal Church is both stunningly beautiful and
has faced many challenges. It has been persecuted,
and some of its members and leaders have made
mistakes that have inflicted grievous wounds on it.
Many bishops have handled their responsibilities
well; some have not.
None of this should surprise us. The Church is
made up of imperfect people, and bishops are no
exception. Like us, they face temptation, and so
they need support. As our brothers in Christ, they
need our prayers, our encouragement, and the
witness of our lives.
Try something different today. Write a letter or e-
mail to your bishop! Tell him you’re praying for
him. Rather than asking something of him, just
encourage him, and lift him up to the Lord.
“Thank you, Father, for those you have called to
be bishops. Bless them and protect them.

Reach Christ! Greetings fellow
parishioners and friends!
We are writing to you on
behalf of our parish youth
group, Reach Christ. Over the past year, with your
prayers and support, Reach Christ has been able to
minister to many youth within our parish and to the
greater community. We are striving to draw our teens
into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through our
meetings, service projects, and social events. In an
attempt to continue this fruitful endeavor we are
planning a great event for July 2015!
From the 16th – 25th of July 2015, 30-35 teens and
parents from Reach Christ will be walking El Camino de
Santiago (the Way of St. James). It is a 490mi walking
pilgrimage across the north coast of Spain to Santiago de
Compostela.
We will be walking the last 80mi, from Sarria, Spain
to Santiago de Compostela and the Shrine of St. James
the Apostle. Tradition teaches us that this is the final
resting place of the relics of St. James the Apostle,
which are interred in the Cathedral Shrine. Countless
pilgrims have made this walk for almost 1000 years! So,
why will Reach Christ do it? We will make this
pilgrimage for a number of reasons. We will follow in
the footsteps of the many pilgrims who, through this
walk, strengthened their relationship with the Lord. We
will show our teens the great depth and universality of
our Catholic Faith. We will walk in prayer for all of you
and bring your intentions to the tomb of the Apostle
James.
In humble prayer and petition we ask for your prayers
and, if your means allow, your financial support. We are
asking for sponsors to help our teens meet the cost of
this endeavor. If you are interested, please pray over the
possibility of helping us at the level of Bronze Sponsor
- $100+ , Silver Sponsor - $250+ , or Gold Sponsor -
$500+ Most of all, however, we ask for your prayerful
support, without which this endeavor would be fruitless.
All teens from the parish are welcome to join us! For
further information or for questions about sponsoring a
teen, please contact Fr. Dan at the Rectory (845-473-
4222).
Please be assured of our continuing prayers for you,
your families, and the wonderful people here at St.
Martin’s.
St. Martin de Porres & St. James the Apostle, Pray for
Us!
Fr. Dan Tuite ~ Parochial Vicar &
Grace McNamara ~ Youth Minister
