Reading for next Sun., June 8, 2014

Pentecost Sunday

Theme: We have been given the breath of God, the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Breaking Open the Word Suggested text for faith sharing: 1st Reading from Acts

When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven stay-ing in Jerusalem. At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language. They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his native language? We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God.”

Step One: Listen to the Word: As you listen to this dramatic reading again today, what image strikes you in the story? What single word or phrase catches your ear or touches your heart?

Step Two: Look into Your Life

Question for Children: When have you heard your inner voice or conscience guiding you to do what is right?

Question for Youth: On Pentecost, the apostles were able to speak in a language that everyone could understand. As a young person, you have your own way of communicating Jesus’ impor-tance in your life. How will you make Jesus more known to others in your own way this week?

Question for Adults: Share about times when you felt the power of the Spirit, giving you the right words, giving you insight into a dilemma, or in other ways.

The State of St. Ignatius Parish 2013

My brothers and sisters in Christ of St. Ignatius Loyola Parish, Every year our parish publishes a financial statement to let you know where we stand spiritually and

financially. The information you are about to review is our financial statements for the last two fiscal years and the first six months of this fiscal year. We were fortunate to have yielded a surplus in the prior two years, mainly because of the exemption from the obligation to pay the subsidy for the support of Catholic schools in the Diocese. Recently, I sent a letter to the Diocesan Office of Education asking an additional reprieve from the Catholic school subsidy for the upcoming academic year. Please pray that this happens.

The goal of using the surplus to pay down the 2.4 million dollar debt has been impeded by the current environment of increased expenses in the face of the continuing trend of declining collections. These expenses were seen mainly in the maintenance of our parish property: snow removal, higher utilities, repairs and a new boiler for our church building.

I am delighted however to inform you that after a thoughtful search for an appropriate tenant to help offset the significant costs of maintaining our school buildings, we have just signed an agreement to lease the “New” school building to the Vocational Education and Extension Board (VEEB) of Nassau County. They will be using the building for their administration and to conduct a practical nursing program where students will receive an LPN. We are delighted to be able to use our space for education in a field that serves the greater community. They will be doing some minor alterations to the school building during the summer. Classes begin in September. You may go on their website at VEEB.org to check out their new address. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who had a part in making this event happen. Most particularly, I want to thank Charlie Montana, Linda Price, John Rigert, and Agnes Quinn from our parish for connecting us to Phil Molloy and Tom Sheridan of VEEB.

On the spiritual end, we are maintaining our programs. I am happy to report that our Religious Education program is flourishing with the addition of our Spanish speaking members of the parish. My hope is that our RCIA program will increase, being that we have many people in our area who are non-Christian. In such cases, they should contact our Deacon to assist them. Because we are an aging parish, our funerals have increased and our baptisms have stayed the same. We continue to serve the poor in a vi-brant way. Many Christian churches here in Hicksville rely on our Human Services to be a beacon of hope for our area.

I know you have a tremendous spirit of cooperation and generosity as well as a deep love for our parish. I also know that your own situations may impose limits on what you can do to help St. Ignatius. Whereas I have a great appreciation for that, I hope and pray that you might also realize that it is increas-ingly difficult for us to meet ever rising operating expenditures and make headway on our significant accu-mulated debt while the contributions and collections, which are so essential to fund ministries and parish life, continue to decline.

We have big challenges and need not only the wisdom of the Holy Spirit but also the wisdom of our dear parishioners. Let us not allow our challenges to get us down. Albert Einstein once wrote: “in the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity.” Please make this your opportunity to help us. We would welcome your participation in our efforts in forming a building committee to help evaluate and prioritize necessary projects. We would welcome any of the gifts of your talents as a volunteer. We would welcome any con-sideration you might give to increasing your support. Our parish cannot be managed by one person or pastor alone. It takes a village. As the body of Christ, you are that village. And of course we would always wel-come your prayers.

May God bless you and Mary keep you and your families always! St. Ignatius Loyola, pray for us. Fr. Jim, Pastor

PRAY FOR OUR MILITARY Anyone with a family member serving in the military, please forward their name and rank to our bulletin editor at bulletin1859@aol.com or bring the name to our Rec-tory Front Office. We pray to give all of our soldiers the courage and strength to do the duty that is required of them. May they always remember our appreciation for the sacrifice they are making for us. We are thankful for the men and women who are willing to risk their lives to protect our freedom. I ask You to go with each of them and protect them wherever they go. Amen.

On Thursday as we celebrated the Ascension, we are reminded that Christ’s saving work on earth continues through His disciples...and now through us. When we give to the poor, God indeed pours His love, peace and joy into our hearts, into our lives and into the hears of those who are poor.

COMUNIDAD HISPANA 6/01/14 LA ASCENSIÓN DEL SEÑOR Editado por Ytala y Gabriel Ruiz

Boletín: 5

“Me ha sido dado todo poder en el cielo y en la tierra.”

La Fiesta de la Ascensión es la oportunidad que se ofrece al creyente para alegrarse por su Rey: Se alegra Israel por su Creador, los hijos de Sión por su Rey. La Iglesia celebra el triunfo de su Rey, de su Cabeza, de su Amigo. Y se siente en fiesta. Pero además contempla este misterio como el gran empuje de su misión evangelizadora por el mundo, tan necesitado del Evangelio que es el único que puede dar respuesta a sus graves y acuciantes interrogantes. Y se siente renovada en su esperanza teologal que le invita a dirigir su y sus pasos hacia lo difícil y arduo pero posible porque Dios anda por en medio con su Bondad, Fidelidad y Poder. Y, en el centro, Jesús glorifica-do que sigue en medio de nosotros hasta el fin del mundo.

NO OLVIDES TU COMPROMISO CON DIOS:
