Pastor’s ColumnPastor’s ColumnPastor’s Column

January 5/6 Dear Friends,

The Feast of the Epiphany is often called Little Christmas and in many parts of the world it is a bigger celebration than Christmas Day. It carries the magic of the star and the mysterious kings who come to pay homage to the newborn king. But it also marks a certain valuable reality: even though Christmas day is past and the lights and carols have left stores, towns, and radio stations — Christmas is not over.

If Christmas means that God is born into the world, then Christmas cannot be a one- day event. God is too big and too important for that. Christmas has to be a beginning. At this time of year I often think of a wonderful poem written by Dr. Howard Thurman. Thurman, a noted theologian and civil rights activist, managed to capture the spirit of Christmas and remind us why we stand on the side of love throughout the year:

When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins:

To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoner, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among brothers, To make music in the heart.

I hope your Christmas was wonderful. I hope more than that, too. I hope your Christmas is just beginning!

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Fr. Mike Vetrano

The Work of Christmas Begins

Adult Faith Formation Monday January 14 at 7:30

Divorce and Remarriage: Where Do I Stand with the Church? Beginning Again... This evening will be given by Fr. Mike Vetrano. He is our pastor and also an advocate at the tribunal in our diocese. Advocates help those seeking annulments to bring their case before the tribunal in a pastorally sensitive and compassionate manner. This evening is geared for those who wonder about where they or a friend or a family member stand with the church and will explain the various options open to those who were married in the church and now wish to begin a new relationship with the full blessing of the church.

Monday February 4th at 7:30 PM Why Catholics Like Einstein and Need not be Afraid of Darwin

The supposed conflict between science and religion is a staple of modern discourse. But does this conflict really exist? We shall take a look at Darwin's theory of evolution and the question of human origins; modern cosmology; the Galileo affair (which history books still treat as the definitive parting of ways between science and religion); and suggest ways of reading the creation account in the Book of Genesis. The talk will take a cue from the 17th century philosopher Francis Bacon: A little science can lead us away from God, while a fuller understanding of it leads us back again.

Mark Your Calendars :: Parish Lenten Mission with Msgr. Jim Vlaun, Fr. Mike Vetrano, and Father John Sureau on March 11-13, 2013 A Break from the Madness (March or otherwise!): Finding the Joy, Hope, and the Peace of God's Love Amidst Life's Turbulent Times It was the Jesuit theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who reminded us that Joy is the

infallible sign of the presence of God! Our mission this year will focus on how

Christians can find that joy, even in the difficulties and struggles of life. Joy, Hope, and

Peace can not only bring us happiness but is also the foundation for the ministries of the

church. St. Francis told his followers to Preach the gospel always! Use words only if

necessary! He understood that the gifts of the spiritual life are meant to be shared!

Plan to be with us for this Lenten mission.

Keeping Our History As we celebrate the first year of the dedication of SHJM as a basilica I invite every-

one to take a trip into their attics and photo albums! We would like to compile a his-

tory of our parish through stories, pictures, news clippings, announcements, and even

video. If you have and memorable images or reminders from our history please

share them with us. You may dedicate them to our archive or simply have us copy

and return the item to you. Who knows! Maybe you have a old movie clip that will

remind us all of part of SHJM history. For information contact Fr. Mike or Gina Ar-

resta at the rectory.

Census 2013 — An excellent beginning With our Christmas mailing this year I sent every registered family a census update

request. Almost 300 or about 20% of these forms have been returned. Many have

taken the opportunity to update their family information, adding new phone numbers

and email addresses. In this day of electronic communication it is faster, more effi-

cient, and economical to communicate in this way. Thanks to all who have taken the

time to send back their parish census. If you would like to become a member of Sa-

cred Hearts Parish — Just fill out the census form on the opposite page. Remember

too that we welcome you to register even if you are only at Sacred Hearts for part of

the year. Registering will enable us to keep you up to date on all that is happening

here.

OUR LADY OF THE HAMPTONS The administration, faculty and student community of Our Lady of the Hamptons Regional Catholic School offers best wishes and sincere prayers of gratitude to all the parishioners who are so supportive of our Catholic school! We are proud to be a vibrant and strong presence for Catholic education on the East End! Happy New Year to all!

The anticipated opening of the gymnasium space of the new Wellness center at OLH is scheduled for the first of the New Year. This project has been a lengthy project during which the encouragement and financial support of the community has been evident. The school is still seeking funding in order to complete the classroom section of the facility, in the hope that those rooms can be used in September 2013.

Catholic Schools Week will be observed from January 25-February 3 at OLH. The opening social event will be the Family Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, January 27 featuring a full hot breakfast from 8AM-Noon. Tours of the school will be available as well as an initial welcome to the new Wellness Center. We invite everyone to come for breakfast and a special opportunity to see the school.

Registration for the 2-13-2014 school year will be held during then month of January.. Parents who may be interested in considering pre-school at St. Rosalie’s campus, or kindergarten through grade 8 at the Southampton campus are urged to request information packets as soon as possible. Tours and interviews will be scheduled for January.

We invite parishioners and friends to learn more about Our Lady of the Hamptons by visiting the website www.olh.org.

La Epifanía Del Señor, Año C. Ilustración, © 2000 K. Sullivan. Printed from www.Liturgy.com

La Luz Brilla - Hoy el Señor Jesús se revela a las naciones como un niño en brazos: poderoso y glorioso en su fragilidad. ¡Qué paradoja! Los Magos de Oriente adoraron y alabaron al Niño, dándole regalos: oro, incienso y mirra. Guiados por la estrella de Oriente, lo encontraron, regresando después a su país por otro camino. Jesús (“Dios salva”) es el Cristo, el Mesías, cuya obra trasciende tiempo y espacio, brillando para todos. Hoy nos inundamos de su luz divina. ¡Qué misterio!Texto: Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2000, OCP. Derechos reservados. Dios Quiso Revelarse - La estrella, los magos, la revelación, el poder y la gloria de Dios, todos son elementos esenciales de esta solemnidad. De todos ellos la Revelación es el más importante. Dios quiso revelarse Él mismo a través de Su Hijo, Jesús, y no sólo a un pueblo determinado, sino a todas las naciones: Isaías, en la primera lectura, nos invita a levantarnos con entusiasmo para contemplar la revelación de la gloria de Dios, y San Pablo, en su carta a los Efesios, nos invita a reflexionar con atención sobre el mensaje de la revelación. El entusiasmo de la primera lectura da paso a la tranquilidad y a la suavidad de la segunda lectura.By Juan J. Sosa, Pbro., from Liturgia y Canción 2013© 2012, OCP. All rights reserved Intenciones del Papa para Enero General: Que en este Año de la Fe los cristianos podamos profundizar el conocimiento del misterio de Cristo y testimoniar nuestra fe con alegría. Misionera: Que las comunidades cristianas de Medio Oriente reciban del Espíritu Santo la fuerza de la fidelidad y la perseverancia, especialmente cuando son discriminadas.

Los Magos Inician una Peregrinación de los Pueblos Hacia Dios -Por eso es grande esta fiesta de Epifanía, porque es el día en que celebramos que aquel muro que tenía a los judíos como predilectos y a los demás como espurios, se ha roto y que la fe ha pasado por encima de la generación carnal. Ya no son hijos de Abraham según la carne, los que van a ser el pueblo de Dios, son hijos de Abraham porque tienen la fe de Abraham. Y aquí están las primicias, los magos hijos también de Abraham aunque nacidos en el Lejano Oriente, porque han encontrado la misma fe y han encontrado el Rey. Parece que lo que el apóstol San Mateo quiere dibujar en este evangelio es como Cristo se revela, y es conocido, y seguido, y amado por los gentiles más que por los judíos. Porque los judíos, Herodes y los que rodeaban su trono, pudieron dar el índice donde se encontraría, pero se quedaron indiferentes y el que no, se quedó indiferente; Herodes, quiso conocer dónde nacería para irle a matar. "Vino a los suyos y los suyos no le recibieron. Pero a los que le recibieron -aunque sean gentiles- les dió el poder de hacerse hijos de Dios".Tomado de la Homilía de Mons. Oscar Romero, 6 de enero de 1980
