Welcome Father Henry William Reid Pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church On April 3, 2017, the following official appointment and an-nouncement has been made by his Excellency, the Most Rever-end John O. Barres, Bishop of Rockville Centre. Effective June 28, 2017 unless otherwise indicated, "Rev. Henry W. Reid, from Associate Pastor at Holy Name of Mary, Valley Stream to Pastor at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Patchogue" Effective June 26, 2013, Bishop William Murphy has assigned Fa-ther Henry Reid as an associate pastor at Holy Name of Mary. After graduating from Comsewogue High School in Port Jeffer-son Station, in 1987, Father Reid attended Suffolk Community College in Selden. Some of the occupations, he has held included construction and chauffeuring. In 1997, Father Reid earned a master’s degree in European his-tory from SUNY Albany and did post-graduate research work at Queen’s University in Belfast, Ireland. It was here where he thought about his true vocation. He returned to the United States and began teaching history at Suffolk Community College. He then attended the Cathedral Seminary Residence in Douglaston for pre-theology and earned a master’s degree in divinity from the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Hun-tington. After being ordained on June 10, 2006, Father Reid was assigned to Holy Family parish in Hicksville. He had completed his transitional deaconate assignment at Holy Name of Mary. On June 22, 2011, he was assigned as associate pastor at St. Margaret of Scotland in Selden. Father Reid is currently Chaplain for the New York State AOH (Ancient Order of Hibernians).
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, At the end of March I received a phone call from Bishops Barres and Brennan, asking if I would consider becoming the pastor of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, without hesita on I accepted. Of course a few friends of mine have expressed concern that this is a big undertaking, but it is my belief that if God did not want me to be here at this me, the bishop would not have offered it to me. This will be a me of transi on for all of us, and we should all thank Fr. Benet for being here as the Administrator, assure him of our prayers as he begins the next stage of his ministry to the people of Sacred Heart parish. For those who may not have Googled my name as of yet, my background included me in the world of Academia, where my focus was on History, and as such I value the past greatly. Our parish has a great his-tory, from the converted garage on Waverly, to the construc on of the current church and rectory, and the later addi on of the Parish Center. There have been many good and holy people who have come to worship God and live as a Faith community over the years, and we honor their legacy by coming together as a parish community, not only on Sundays, but in our lived Eucharis c lives, through the ac vi es we share. As me goes on, we can share our visions of the future of the parish, but for now let me share this one vision of mine; that this parish will be an ac ve center of the community, where those parishioners cur-rently a ending, those who have stopped a ending, and those who have never come here before, will experience many opportuni es to deepen their rela onship with Jesus Christ. While we are called to val-ue the past, we are also called to look towards the future, to have a vision of where we are heading, but to value the present, this me we are living in, and the people with whom we are called to be in rela on-ships. Most of us have experienced those mes when we hear that someone we knew as a child was gradua ng from High School or College, and we thought, “Where has the me gone?” When we reflect back on the years, we either envision the milestones in that person’s life, and how we watched them grow up, or we realize that we were so busy elsewhere and with other things, that we missed being a part of their life. It is the same with the life of Faith we are called to, we need to par cipate in the life of the Church, and on the local level that is the parish. As I have shared part of my vision for the parish, I also want to share the responsibility of the parish. Jesus tells us “For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light.” (Luke 8:17) With that in mind, the financial ma ers of the parish will be pub-lished in the bulle n on a regular basis; because it is my belief that members of the parish community not only have a right to know, but a willingness to work towards solu ons. Two weeks ago, as I sat in the new pastors’ workshops, someone from the diocese asked if I had really been out pain ng my office here, something that many of you have already heard. As a pastor, I cannot ask anyone to do what I am not willing to do myself. We all have wonderful ideas and dreams, things that will build up the Kingdom of God here in Patchogue; together we will work to make those dreams a reality. Pax, Fr. Henry
