Divine Mercy Sunday, April 3, 2016
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Today is Divine Mercy Sunday: In this Jubilee Year of Mercy join us today, Sunday, from 2:30pm to 4:30pm in the
church as we praise God’s eternal love and His abundant mercy as a parish family. During the prayer service which I will
lead, the Eucharist will be exposed, we will pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and have veneration of the image of Jesus as
the Divine Mercy (which you can see in the sanctuary) and the relic of St. Faustina.
In the apparition of Jesus to St. Faustina, in 1931, He gives us the Divine Mercy Novena to pray and like all Novenas, it is
9 days. The Novena began on Good Friday and it is very unique because with this Novena you are praying for God’s intentions, not your own. Jesus gave St. Faustina the intentions that He would like us to pray for each day. It is a most beautiful and selfless prayer. There are red Novena pamphlets at the doors of the church in case you did not get one.
A huge and merciful gift given us today on Divine Mercy Sunday is that we can receive a plenary indulgence. Jesus promised this to us through St. Faustina when He reminded us of his great mercy. What is a plenary indulgence? It is the total
remission (washing away) of temporal punishment due to sin. When I confess my sin with a sincere and contrite heart, I
am totally forgiven, but the temporal (the here and now) damage that was done to others (and myself) as a result of my sin
remains. That’s why we do penance to try to repair the damage we have done. That is what purgatory is about. That’s
why a plenary indulgence is a merciful gift from the Lord. How can one receive it? Here are the requirements: One must
go to Mass and receive Holy Communion on the day of the feast, April 2 nd or 3rd, go to confession within 20 days of the
feast (either before or after), pray the Apostles Creed (which is your profession of faith), take a few moments to reflect on
the mercy you have received in your life, pray one Our Father and Hail Mary for the Pope’s intention and lastly, have a
desire to be freed from the attachment to sin.
HOLY WATER: Bottles of newly blessed Easter water will be distributed to all our parishioners during the recessional
song today. Why? Out of the side of Jesus’ body flowed blood and water after he was pierced with a lance by the Roman
soldier. Jesus tells us through St. Faustina that the blood reminds us of his presence in the Eucharist -- how He feeds us.
The water reminds us of how He cleanses us through the waters of our Baptism and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This
purifies us and makes us righteous before God. Therefore, may the Holy Water serve as a reminder of the goodness of our
God and I invite you to use this sacramental to invoke God’s healing, protection, mercy and love upon you, your loved
ones and everything you own. May this holy water aid you on your journey to sainthood.
Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, following in the footsteps of the Mercy Popes, Saint John Paul II and the beloved Benedict
XVI, embraces the Message of Mercy with devout enthusiasm. He says: “Hearing the word mercy changes everything, it
changes the world! A bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.” That’s why he has declared this the year of
mercy. See the bulletin for more details.
ONCE A MONTH: As I said at all the Easter Masses, once a month we will be featuring a different ministry at all the
Masses so you can learn more about and even sign-up for a ministry. This month we are featuring Parish Outreach. Since
we are celebrating Divine Mercy Sunday, we thought we would feature a ministry that shows great mercy to many in need.
That is exactly what our Outreach does: helps the hungry, the homeless, the destitute, etc. In the lobby of the church is
information on all the good work that our Parish Outreach does for so many in need. See the outreach volunteers at the
table in the lobby for pamphlet information and pick up a cookie while you’re at it.
HEALING MASS: This Friday, April 8th, I will be celebrating a Healing Mass at 7:30pm in the church. The Rosary will
be prayed at 7:00pm. If you or someone you know is sick physically, emotionally or spiritually please bring them to the
Mass. Following the liturgy, everyone will have the opportunity to be prayed over and blessed with the Blessed Sacrament. Please join us.
UPDATED WORK REPORT: Lastly, in the bulletin you will find an updated progress report on the work being done in
our Restoration Campaign, letting you know how much of the work has been completed.
MINI-RETREAT: Our Adult Faith Formation Committee is sponsoring a mini-retreat led by Sister Ave Clark, O.P. on
Saturday, April 16 from 9am to 12noon in the rectory Lower Level. The theme is “Easter Joy, Peace and Mercy”. All are
welcome.
Have a great week walking with your Lord, encountering His love and mercy. Remember, with Him in you, you can do
the unthinkable, unimaginable and even forgive what you think is unforgiveable.
Peace and blessings,
Fr. Charles, Pastor

Summer Pilgrimage
206 Tours is running a pilgrimage to Medjugorje this summer.
Join them from August 8th – 16th. It’s the location of the alleged apparitions of the Blessed Mother. The group will be
staying at the home of one of the alleged visionaries. The
devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is so strong in
Medjugorje. They even have beautiful outside adoration of
the Blessed Sacrament at night at which thousands attend with
great devotion. Cost is $3,359.00. Feel free to stop by the
rectory for a colored flyer of the pilgrimage or there are flyers
at the doors of the church. Fr. Tony Stanganelli, Pastor of St.
Brigid’s, and I will go as spiritual directors for the pilgrims.

Divine Mercy Rosaries
As part of the joyful celebration of
Divine Mercy Sunday today, Our
Lady’s Rosary Makers Ministry has
designed beautiful red/white Divine
Mercy Rosaries symbolizing the
shining rays pouring from the heart
of Jesus to Saint Faustina.
Each Rosary has been blessed and
is packaged with a Chaplet of
Divine Mercy prayer card.
We invite you to come to the vestibule after mass today, Divine Mercy Sunday, where
these Rosaries will be freely distributed. Any small
offering will be gratefully accepted.
Peace & Blessings,
Our Lady’s Rosary Makers Ministry

Curé of Ars
Welcome!
Our pastor, Fr. Charles Mangano, his brother priests, Fr.
Henry Leuthardt, Fr. Zachary Callahan, and our Pastoral
Team welcome you to Curé of Ars. If you are visiting us
for the first time, you are our honored guests and we pray
that you will consider making Curé of Ars your church
home. We are here to assist you in your spiritual growth
and maturity as together we give glory to God through our
worship, prayer and service in the name of Jesus Christ.
We are committed to the fullness of Roman Catholic
teaching and to the promise of salvation that the Church
offers to all believers. May God accomplish a great work
in you among us.
Mission Statement
We welcome all and exclude none, as we are
inspired by the wisdom of our patron, St. John
Vianney, the Cure of Ars, who said: "This is
our glorious duty, to pray and to love." Therefore, we are committed to continue the mission
of Jesus Christ, to proclaim the Gospel and
love one another as He loves us.
Values Statement
Empowered with the strength given to us by
the Sacraments, we practice generosity in
faith, hope and love.
Stewardship
It is everything we do after we say we believe

Pastor’s Comments - Tithing isn’t a gamble on what
can be, it’s an acknowledgment of what is. God has,
is, and always will do for us. By tithing, we’re just
saying “Thank You.”
Comments on Tithing from the pews - “Giving is a
special word. I hope to set a good example so that
my children will learn the meaning of sharing.”
- A Parishioner
Bulletin Reflection - “Blessed are they who have not
seen and have believed,” Jesus says in today’s
Gospel. For those who have not seen to believe,
however, we must be good stewards of our faith, living it joyfully and sharing it generously.
Vision Statement
As we move forward, prioritized by our parishioners’ input, we will focus on liturgy and
worship, faith formation, family, communication, and service.
Living Stewardship - We are grateful this week for
all stewards in our parish who put our faith into action—especially through the spiritual and corporal
works of mercy—even when they may not “see” the
fruits of their service, relying on God’s grace to do
the rest!

Bereavement Ministry
St. Monica’s Parent Intercessory Group
Curé of Ars “Journey of Hearts” Bereavement Team will
hold a 7-week session on Wednesday evenings from
7:00pm - 9:00pm in the Rectory Lower Level on: April
13, 20, 27, May 4, 11, 18, with the Closing Mass in the
Msgr. Leonard Hall on Thursday, May 26. In order to
attend, you must register by calling the Rectory, 623-1400,
Ext. 175 and a Team member will return your call. We
urge you to register early, as seating is limited and we cannot accept any walk-ins. Grief is the process of healing
from the pain of loss. If you find yourself on a journey
through the wasteland of grief, let us share our resources to
get you to the other side, for with God all things are possible. Sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences will
help you get beyond the pain caused by the death of someone you love. The support of your faith community is so
needed at this time. We will help you survive those rough
changes in your life and help you to understand that the
emotions you are feeling may be shared by others as well.
You need not walk alone. God is with us.
This is a Parent Intercessory Group that prays
for their children under the patronage of St.
Monica who prayed for her son, St. Augustine,
for 30 years. Augustine was lost in a life of
self-indulgence and sin. Her prayers brought
him to God and the Church and helped to lead
him to a life of holiness, priesthood and sainthood. She is a
powerful intercessor for us in heaven. This group is for all
parents, dads, moms, grandparents, etc. Their focus is praying for children. They meet the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of
each month at 7:30pm in the Rectory Lower Level.
(Please use the side entrance.)
Mary’s Crown – Updated Names
In 2009, when we added the crown to the statue of our Lady
in the Church, we put into her crown the names of only our
registered parishioners, placing everyone in the parish before Her merciful heart. The names came to over 7000. We
updated it again a few years later and the number went to
over 9,000 names. Before I leave in June, I would like to
update the list a third time. This is how we will do it. All
parishioners who have registered with the parish since 2012
will automatically be put into the crown. If there have been
any additions to your family that were not with you at the
time you registered with the parish, please call the rectory
and give us those names so we can also update your file. If
a loved one has passed away, their name will remain in the
crown, they will NOT be removed. All new names must be
submitted to the rectory by Monday, April 25th. We need
two weeks to compare lists, update the names, set up scaffolding and then place the names into the crown of Our
Lady before Mother’s Day, May 8th. Any parishioners who
officially register with the parish over the next three weeks
will also have their name placed into the crown. On
Mother’s Day, May 8th, we will pray especially for all the
names in the crown.

Weekly Reflection
Catholic Ministries Appeal
“THEN HE SAID TO THOMAS, ‘PUT YOUR
FINGER HERE AND SEE MY HANDS, AND BRING
YOUR HAND AND PUT IT INTO
MY SIDE, AND DO NOT BE UNBELIEVING,
BUT BELIEVE.’” (John 20:27-28).
What makes Thomas a believer? Not seeing Jesus in divine splendor. Not hearing Him preach a persuasive sermon. Not seeing Him perform an incredible miracle. No.
What makes Thomas a believer is simply touching the
wounds of Jesus. Connecting with the suffering humanity
of Jesus, his good friend, brings him to faith.
Isn’t it the same for us at times? We, too, come to faith
not through our strength, cleverness, or achievements, but
often
through
our
pain
and
weakness.
As someone has said, pain is a wise advisor. Often our
pain brings us to our knees. Our wounds turn us into believers—especially if they are joined to the pain and
wounds of Jesus, our good friend.
Wounded Jesus, may my pain and weakness lead me to
greater faith and trust in you.

Prayer for Persecuted Christians
Here is a special prayer to pray for our brothers and sisters
suffering in Iraq, Syria and throughout the Middle East.
“Lord, the plight of our brothers and sisters is deep and
the suffering of Christians is severe and frightening.
Therefore, we ask you Lord to spare their lives, to grant
them patience and courage to continue their witness of
Christian values with trust and hope. Lord, peace is the
foundation of life; grant us the peace and stability that will
enable us to live with each other without fear and anxiety,
and with dignity and joy. Glory be to You forever.”
Two other prayer opportunities:
1. Pray the Rosary for the situation.
2. Unity Wednesday: every Wednesday our parishioners are
invited to offer up a sacrifice (whatever it is) for our
brothers and sisters suffering. This unites us in prayer as
a parish during the week as well.

Only 21 Candles Left
Mom’s Group
Have you ever considered lighting a
Perpetual Candle for your loved ones?
This candle remains lit every day for one
year. This candle’s perpetual light, which
is seen by God and burns brightly before
Him each day, is a constant intercession
for your intention. The priests and parishioners will also pray for your intention
during our Sunday and weekday Masses here at Curé of
Ars. See the forms in the rack hanging on the wall by the
Perpetual Candles in the lobby of the church. The candle
can also be purchased for any prayer intention: conversions, memorials, in thanksgiving or for special intentions /
occasions.
Calling All Moms - You're Invited!
Join us, The Curé of Ars Mothers'
Group, for coffee, snacks, prayers, fellowship, and laughter. Our goal is to
offer support to each other in a caring,
relaxing, non-judgmental environment.
We meet every Monday (when school is in session)
10:00am to 11:30am in the Youth Center.
We have babysitting for your walking toddlers and

Prayer Shawl Ministry
In lieu of a spring bible study we will be doing a seven (7)
day retreat. How? Seven consecutive Tuesdays starting April
19th in the parish center at 7:30pm. The dates are April 19,
26, May 3, 10, 17, 24, 31st. It will be based on the book of Fr.
Michael Gaitley, MIC, 33 Days to Morning Glory. The
DVD presentation is by Fr. Michael Gaitley followed by
small group discussion. Reading materials will be available
and refreshments will be provided. There is no set fee for the
retreat but a free will offering is greatly appreciated for cost
of materials!
This is a retreat that leads us to total consecration to the
Mother of Jesus which is a beautiful sequel to the study we
just completed in the fall entitled, The biblical walk with
Mary at which 170 parishioners participated. It is not necessary to have attended the last bible study in order to attend
this retreat. This seven week retreat focuses on "To Jesus
Through Mary”. Come and learn what four saints knew
about the quickest, surest and easiest way to holiness. The
last day of the retreat is May 31st which will be the Mass and
consecration in the Church. This is also the Feast of The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Let’s celebrate the
“Jubilee Year of Mercy” by turning to our Lady of Mercy, the
Blessed Virgin Mary! Please call the rectory (516) 623-1400
to register so we order enough work books and materials.
Attention all Knitters and Crocheters or those interested in
learning: Prayer shawls are tangible symbols of love. They
are warm hugs of empathy and support. The Curé of Ars
Prayer Shawl Ministry makes prayer shawls for those in
need of comfort. Prayer begins in the heart and the creation of a prayer shawl is a spiritual journey of prayer for
the shawl maker. Our ministry meets on Mondays from
7:00pm - 8:00pm, twice a month; next meeting is March
28, 2016. Beginners and all levels are welcome!
If you have unused skeins of worsted weight yarn to give
to the Prayer Shawl Ministry or for more information
please contact Joan Ryan 516-316-7648.
Our Lady’s Rosary Makers
6,700 Rosaries and counting!
Yes, that’s how many missionary Rosaries our
ministry has made and have freely given to places
as far away as Uganda and as close as South Nassau Community Hospital. We meet every 3rd
Thursday of the month in the Conference Room
from 6:30-8:00pm. All materials supplied. Call Jane at 7718469 with any questions and may God Bless You.
The Spirit of Generosity
At the
Merrick Car Wash

God is good and we know He provides for all our needs. The owner of the
Merrick Car Wash made a pledge toward our Capital Campaign and this is
how he is doing it. For every car that gets washed each day, he will give the
parish a percentage of the profit. What generosity!!! Therefore, if you get
your car washed, please consider doing it at the Merrick Car Wash located
on Sunrise Highway (east of the Gateway Inn). The more cars that go there,
the higher the monthly rebate will be. The generosity of our parishioners
never ceases to amaze me. Please cut and use the coupons below for your
next three visits.

Men of the Curé of Ars
Two are better than one, because they have
a good reward for their toil. For if they fall,
one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him
who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up.
Eccles.4:9
The Men of the Cure of Ars invite you to
join us for some honest and thought provoking conversation. We meet twice a month for fellowship and spiritual
renewal. Take the first step and discover that there is a
“Regular Guy” sitting next to you! We always leave one
meeting rejuvenated and looking forward to the next.
We meet on the first Monday of the month for
“Signposts”, a Bible /Catechism study on how we answer
the call to be Catholic men in the world today. For April 4,
we will be discussing lesson #51 Evangelization: ‘Go and
make disciples’.
On the third Monday of the month, April 18, join us as
we continue our lecture series: “How to be a Man of Mercy”. Our topic will be Mercy & Scripture. Our speaker will
be Fr. Rob Ketchum. The meetings are held in the Rectory

**On Tues, April 5th in the Parish Center, we will be representing the skit “Burden” as a fundraiser for March for
Life NY. Please come and help us make this a success. **

outside your marriage to help you? Well,
there is hope and help for your marriage.
Don’t despair!!!!

Pornography
Many people have found themselves suffering with an addiction to pornography. God says, “My saving power will rise on
you like the sun and bring healing like the sun’s rays.” Malachi 4:2. You can overcome pornography and other unhealthy
sexual behaviors with a professional, science-based Catholic
program called: RECLAIM Sexual Health. (Visit their site
www. ReclaimsexualHealth.com). Get help or Help Others.
Private and Anonymous Online Help 24/7. It is the latest
Brain Science cutting-edge technology. Personalized support
and Faith Focused.
The Brain Science of Change & Theology of the Body is
God’s way out. In 1 Corinthians 10:13 it says, “No trial has
come to you but what is human, 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.” Pornography is an addiction. It enslaves the soul and deep
shame is connected to it but healing and recovery is possible.
If you or someone you know has a porn addiction, please log
onto the their website at: www.IntegrityRestored.com, designed for those who struggle with pornography use and those
who may know of someone who is struggling. Here you will
learn about the pornography epidemic in America and how
porn affects men, women, children and teens. You will learn
about the addictiveness of pornography and the recovery process. Wives will learn how to help their husbands as well as
how to find healing for their own emotional pain (feelings of
hurt, betrayal, etc.). The website takes a unique approach by
incorporating Catholic spirituality into the recovery process.
Porn reduces the human person to an object for one’s selfish
pleasure which is in direct opposition to the beauty of the
whole human person that God created in His image and likeness, never to be lusted after but to be loved as a whole person: body, mind and soul.

Courage Support Group
Courage. This spiritual support group is for men and
women who experience homosexual attractions and desire
to lead a chaste life in accordance with authentic Catholic
Church teaching. The five goals of Courage are:
1. Live chaste lives in accordance with the Roman
Catholic Church’s teaching on homosexuality.
(Chastity)
2. Dedicate one’s life to Christ through service to others,
spiritual reading, prayer, meditation, individual
spiritual direction, frequent attendance at Mass, and the
frequent reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation
and Holy Eucharist. (Prayer and Dedication)
3. Foster a spirit of fellowship in which all may share
thoughts and experiences, and so ensure that no one
will have to face the problems of homosexuality alone.
(Fellowship)
4. Be mindful of the truth that chaste friendships are not
only possible but necessary in a chaste Christian life
and in doing so, provide encouragement to one another
in forming and sustaining them. (Support)
5. Live lives that may serve as good examples to others.
(Good Example)
We presently have a men’s group in Nassau County. If
you call 516-623-1400, Ext. 190 and leave your name and
phone number, someone will get back to you or email
