Stewardship
A Way of Life
This Week’s Readings
Today’s reading from Revelation offers a vision of the
City of God, the new Jerusalem. The bishops’ pastoral
on stewardship reminds us, “that ‘life to come’ is in
continuity with this present life through the human
goods, the worthy human purposes, which people foster
now.”
Living Stewardship
We are grateful this week for all stewards who practice
the corporal work of mercy - to clothe the naked - by
making clothing donations to thrift stores, organizing a
drive to send sport uniforms to children in developing
countries or sacrificing the purchase of new clothing to
donate to agencies that provide clothing to those in
need.

From the Rector—
Dear Parishioners:
I write to bring several things to your attention:
Adoration Chapel: As you may remember, one of the
things we wanted to do with the restoration of the
Cathedral was to create a chapel where people could
come in order to pray on weekdays after 2:00 p.m. when
the Cathedral, due to problems of vandalism in the past,
was generally locked. Such a chapel would be near the
tabernacle but would also give limited access to the rest
of the Cathedral. Please know that this Adoration
Chapel has been completed and will be open until
7:00 p.m. Monday to Friday (on weekends the entire
Cathedral is open until the completion of that day’s final
Mass). Access to the Chapel will be through the middle
door on Clinton Avenue.
Mass Transit Bus: You may be familiar with the yellow
“Mass Transit” bus that is usually parked in the lot
across from the Cathedral and is used to bring
parishioners who do not drive to Mass on Sunday. To
make it easier for people to get in and out of the bus, we
have replaced this traditional school bus with a smaller
van that will be large enough to accommodate 15
passengers. It is the type of van that the Village of
Rockville Centre uses for senior transportation or
Molloy College uses for their students and will be more
“user friendly.” I take this opportunity to especially
thank John Joyce who has been driving the school bus
every Sunday for over 20 years and Rocco Zappia who
has been assisting the passengers on the bus for many
years. I also thank Brandon Sino, who is also a driver,
and is very diligent in facilitating whatever needs to be
done in caring for the bus.
He also helped us to
purchase this bus from a nearby village.
Exterior restoration: You may notice that some of the
top scaffolding on the front of the Cathedral has been
removed. In the coming days, I will be giving a more
thorough report of the work that has been done and what
we may wish to do to address “issues” on the other three
sides of the Cathedral (work which is not going to be as
extensive as the front, but was identified as a need). In
the meantime however, please know that the end of this
project is in sight and we are looking to complete this
work on the front façade over the summer. As each
level of the work is completed the scaffolding will be
removed. As always, please feel free to contact me
should you have any questions.
In the Peace and Love of Christ,
Father Bill

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
ONE FAITH COMMUNITY
As with any family, there are times when a brother or sister is in serious need and reaches out to
us for help. Catholic Charities’ Talbot House serves the needs of families in crisis due to substance
abuse.
In 2008, Bill received a call from his son Michael who was away at medical school. Michael was in crisis
– addicted to drugs and plummeting out-of-control.
Searching for a safe environment to get Michael help, Bill found Talbot House. At first Michael didn’t
want to stay – but 22 days after he moved in – Michael was a different person.
“Talbot House gave our son back to us. It’s a
wonderful resource. Michael fully credited
Talbot House and his counselor with his
recovery. Michael went on to graduate from
medical school with the intention of working in
the area of addiction medicine.”
Michael’s life was cut short when, on the way to visit his grandmother, his car was hit head-on by an
impaired driver. Inspired by his son’s desire to help those with addiction, today Bill volunteers at Talbot
House as a spiritual education counselor, helping residents address the topics and events that may be
holding them back from recovery.
“Michael said he owed his life to Talbot House. I know I belong here carrying on his work.”
Please consider donating to the Appeal and a difference in someone’s life. Thank you!
