Thank You!

Fr. Robert and Fr. Piotr would like to express their gratitude to the parishioners of St. Isidore for the abundance of gifts by which you have made our Christmas an

even more beautiful time. Have a happy, healthy, grace-filled New Year.

At St. Isidore Catholic Elementary School, we love learning about God and His mysteries, about the world and its wonders, about humanity and its amazing potential. Every day, this love allows

children to discover the majesty of God, the beauty of creation, the meaning of their lives.

If you love learning, and believe in your child's amazing potential to grow, to learn, to love and to serve, then St. Isidore Catholic School may

be the right choice for your children.

For more information, be sure to visit our website:

www.sisriverhead.com or call 631-727-1650

to arrange a tour or “shadowing experience” for your child.

OUR LADY OF VICTORY, PRAY FOR US

NO CROSS, NO CROWN!

No cross, no crown. No pain, no gain. No guts, no glory. St. James summons us to see the challenges we face as opportunities to rise to new heights of existence, "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will re-ceive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him" (Jas 1:12).

In the military, the cross and crown symbolizes a soldier's willingness to remain faithful to the mission at hand, to each other, and to country, no matter what. This kind of unwa-vering dedication is exactly what Jesus meant when he gave us the criterion for enlisting

in his elite fighting force: "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it. For what does it profit a man if he

gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?" (Lk 9:23-25).

While sounding like a military drill instructor, St John Vianney expounds on this radical call to discipleship: "There is no doubt about it: a person who loves pleasure, who seeks comfort, who flies from anything that might spell suffering, who is over-anxious, who complains, who blames, and who becomes impatient at the least little thing which does not go his way - a person like that is a Christian only in name; he is only a dishonor to

his religion, for Jesus Christ has said so: 'Anyone who wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross every day of his life, and follow Me.'"

The Gospels stories show how Jesus touched people in ways that made them question the direction of their lives. Some turned away because his challenge seemed to be too

hard. But many others were so moved by his mission and ministry that they were com-pelled to search for a more perfect way of living and being. Where do you stand? Are

you ready to put it all on the line? This means nothing less than to do what God is call-ing you. Are you ready to say "yes" to the call to become his champion? (Excerpt from

Church Militant Field Manual).
