TWENTY-SIXTHSUNDAY IN
ORDINARY TIME
September 26, 2021
I thought I was going to be with you last weekend, but my plans changed last Friday morning when I at-tempted to pick up my cell phone while sitting at the end of a chair and leaning forward over the right arm
when gravity took over and down I went. Thankfully I had no fractures, just some stitches and two black
eyes. As I prepare the page for this week’s bulletin, I plan to be with you on Saturday and Sunday. Thank
you, once again, for your prayers and good wishes and thanks, too, to Fathers Damian and John and
Deacon Chris for filling in and helping.
As announced last week, we’re making a change in the Sunday Mass schedule beginning next Sunday, Oc-
tober 3rd and moving the 10:00am Mass to 10:15am. For the past year and one half, HNJ has Mass at
10:00am and KCA has Mass at Noon. Unlike us, the KCA is fortunate to have a good number of children
registered in their Religious Education Program and Fr. Damian will reinstate their children’s Mass at
9:15am, as I mentioned last week.
This permits me to inform you about a change in our religious Education Program– the number of children
in the Religious Education Program at HNJ has been declining for the past several years. Many of the chil-
dren whose families live within the boundaries of HNJ prefer to attend Religion Classes with their friends
from school and therefore choose to attend Religion Classes in the neighboring parishes. As you know, our children attend school at Syosset, Plainview or Hicksville depending on where they live. Also due to the
pandemic, many parents, in addition to becoming teachers also became catechists. We’ve offered the follow-
ing choices to the parents: if parents prefer, they can be the catechist for their child(ren); or St. Edward’s,
our neighboring parish, has graciously agreed to welcome any children from HNJ into their program. Our
parish census is changing—while we do not have an abundance of grammar school children living in our
parish boundaries, families with adult children are moving into the parish. The same is also true for several parishes in Nassau County who have declining numbers in their Religious Education Programs—it appears
that younger families are moving to Suffolk because registration is increasing in Catechism classes in a
number of those parishes.
The Catholic High Schools of Long Island invite all interested student and parents to explore the benefits of a Catholic High School Education. St. Mary’s High School offers Sunday, September 26 from 2 PM through
4:30 PM. On Saturday, October 2, Kellenberg Memorial High School offers open house from 10 AM through
1 PM; Chaminade (pre-registration is required) from 10 AM through 2 PM; and Sacred Heart Academy from
11 Am through 2 PM. On Sunday, October 3, Our Lady of Mercy is open from 10 Am though 1 PM and St.
Dominic High School from 1 PM through 3:30 PM. On Saturday, October 16, Holy Trinity Diocesan High
School is open from 11 Am through 1:30 PM and on Sunday, October 17, St. John the Baptist is open from 10 Am through 1 PM. High School Fairs (are also scheduled for Monday, September 20 from 5 PM through 7
PM and Molloy College on Tuesday, from September 21 from 5 PM through 7 PM. Pre-registration is
required for the College Fairs. Please visit WWW.CHSEE.ORG to register.
Did you read the most recent Pastoral Letter from Bishop Barres celebrating St. Joseph the Worker on Labor Day. Bishop Barres examines what St. Joseph teaches us about the true nature of human labor in God’s
plan for our happiness. The pastoral letter extolls the role of hard work in building families, businesses and
our country and gives some thoughts, inspired by St. Joseph’s example, on how work forms our character
and influences our relationship with God and neighbor. Visit www.drvc.org/stjosephtheworker to read
this new pastoral letter.

Sunday September 26, 2021 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Focus: Preparing to take God’s word into our hearts and look-ing forward to Communion, we recognize our sins and shortcomings. We ask our loving God to hear us and forgive our sins. In the first reading, Moses wishes all the people would have the gift of preaching the word of God. In the second reading, the things we have in this world can be used to enrich the lives of others. In the Gospel, Jesus manifests great tolerance for those casting out demons in his name and severely condemns those who create scandal for the “little ones.”.

6/28-St. Maria Goretti, Virgin & Martyr
Most significant are Gabriel's two mentions in
the New Testament: to announce the birth of
John the Baptist to his father Zacharias, and the at Incarnation of the Word in the womb of
Mary. Christian tradition suggests that it is he
who appeared to St. Joseph and to the shep-
herds, and also that it was he who
"strengthened" Jesus during his agony in the
garden of Gethsemane.
9/30– St. Jerome, Priest & Doctor of the Church Saint Jerome was living in An-tioch in the 370s when he had a vision. Jerome was standing in the presence of the seated Christ, who asked him who he was. “I am a Christian,” Jerome responded. “LIAR!” Jesus yelled. “You are a Ciceronian, not a Christian, for where your treasure is, there also is your heart.” Jerome indeed loved
Cicero and other Latin stylists. Their works and fine prose gave him the greatest pleasure. But Jerome had also been reared in a Christian home, been baptized as an adult in Rome, and had frequently descended into the darkened catacombs to pray at the tombs of the martyrs and saints. His double identity as both a scholar of Latin and Greek rhetoric on the one hand, and as a committed Christian on the other hand, du-eled within him. Jerome fervently loved God and the Catholic religion with all his soul, but it was a troubled soul.
10/1– St. Therese of the Child Jesus-Virgin & Doctor of the Church
October 1st, is the feast day of
St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus
and the Holy Face, more popu-
larly known as St Thérèse of
Lisieux, "the Little Flower." Alt-hough just an obscure clois-
tered Carmelite nun, she has
achieved universal appeal since
her death in 1897. This beloved
saint is the patron of foreign
missions, missionaries, against tuberculosis, AIDS sufferers, illness and loss of parents. There
are no miracles, exploits or austerities recorded
of her. She attained a very high degree of holi-
ness by carrying out her ordinary daily duties
with perfect fidelity, having a childlike confi-dence in God's providence and merciful love and
being ready to be at the service of others at all
times. Saint Pius X called St. Thérèse the
"greatest saint of modern times."
Celebrating our Saints
9/27-St. Vincent de Paul, Priest
Saint Vincent de Paul established
charitable societies that have en-
dured to this day. He also founded
male and female religious orders
that still thrive in the twenty-first
century. He was a trusted counse-
lor to bishops, cardinals, and roy-
alty. His ideas and vision reformed
how seminarians and priests were
trained so fundamentally that this
vision became normative for the
world-wide Church.
9/28-St.s Wenceslaus & St. Lawrence Ruiz—Companions & Martyrs
Saint Wences-
laus is the pa-
tron of both the Czech Republic
and of Slovakia.
He was born to
a Christian
duke and a pa-
gan mother in 903 and was educated by his Christian grandmother,
Saint Ludmilla. When his father died, his mother
took control of the Duchy and began to oppose Chris-
tianity. The people urged Wenceslaus to take power.
He did so and protected and strengthened the Church. Wenceslaus, well known for his Christian
virtue, responded to a call to live a consecrated life
and made a vow of virginity.
9/29– St.s Michael, Gabriel & Raphael-Archangels
The three Arch-
angels Michael,
Gabriel and
Raphael are the only angels
named in Sacred
Scripture and all three have important roles in the
history of salvation. Saint Michael is the "Prince of
the Heavenly Host," the leader of all the angels. His
name is Hebrew for "Who is like God?" and was the battle cry of the good angels against Lucifer and his
followers when they rebelled against God. Michael,
whose forces cast down Lucifer and the evil spirits in-
to Hell, is invoked for protection against Satan and all
evil. Saint Gabriel, whose name means "God's strength," is mentioned four times in the Bible.
