This week I followed Jesus by…

BTW NAME IS CATHY.
A WORD FROM OUR PASTOR
A home for God
Last week, I had the privilege of gathering with several hundred people to bless the newly constructed
ambulance garage in Sayville that serves several surrounding communities including our own. As I blessed
the building, I was very aware that it was more than just a structure. The building represents the kindness
and generosity of countless volunteers over the last sixty years whose devotion and concern have saved the
lives of many of their neighbors. It represents the support and goodness of all the citizens of these
communities whose resources made this structure possible. The building is a symbol of rescue, comfort and
hope. I felt that I was blessing much more than a building.
In a similar way, today’s feast of the Basilica of Saint John Lateran might appear at first to be simply the
celebration of a building. However, this Basilica and every church throughout the world are so much more
than just buildings. The structure which is made of brick and mortar is more than just a place where we can
find shelter or a place to pray. A church building teaches us something. It stands as a symbol of our belief
that just as the church is a special place where God lives, so also God dwells among us and inside us. God’s
home is found in every person who embraces the message of unselfish love. As Saint Paul puts in so clearly
in today’s second reading: “Brothers and sisters: You are God’s building.”
The Basilica of Saint John Lateran is located in Rome and it serves the same purpose for the Diocese of
Rome that Saint Agnes Cathedral in Rockville Centre serves for our diocese. That church and all churches,
including our beloved building here at Saint John’s, are meant to be visible reminders that we who gather
together are God’s dwelling place. It is in us that God lives and becomes present to the world that so much
needs the healing presence of Christ. Saint Paul’s imagery also tells us that Christ is our “foundation” and
that each one of us is a “living stone”. Together we make up the house of God.
For the Jews in the time of Jesus, the temple in Jerusalem was the most sacred house of God. In today’s
Gospel, Jesus drives out the money changers who have used the temple for the wrong purpose: “…stop
making my Father’s house a marketplace.” Again, there is more here than Jesus simply restoring the temple
to be a house of prayer. The Lord’s action is a reminder to us that, as each one of us is a house of God, we
may be in need of some kind of cleansing or restoration. Paul says, “…you are the temple of God” and “the
Spirit of God dwells in you.” The challenge of the Gospel is to ask ourselves what needs to be “driven out”
of me so that God can dwell more completely within me? What needs to be “overturned” in my behavior or
my lifestyle so that I can more faithfully fulfill my vocation as a temple of God’s presence?
We celebrate a building today because we are a building. We are the Church which is so much more than
the construction materials that come together to create a structure. We build God’s kingdom by receiving
the nourishment of Christ’s love in the Eucharist and going forth from our church to build a better world, a
world “of truth and life…of holiness and grace…of justice, love, and peace.” As a prayer from the
Sacramentary says: “Father, you give us grace to build the temple of your Spirit, creating its beauty from
the holiness of our lives.”
Fr. Joe

Next Sunday evening, November 16, we will be gathering with our Jewish, Islamic, and Christian brothers

bulletin.

A Message from Sister Lisa:
I met a young family last week, a single mother trying to
raise her daughter on a part-time salary because that is the
only work she can find in this economy. She had to separate
from her child’s father due to his uncontrollable drug use.
She was reluctant to come to us because she had been selfsufficient, and thinks of herself as the “giver,” but needed the
food and other resources we can provide to help her young
daughter, and acceded to the promptings of one of our
parishioners to come to Outreach. It can be so hard to ask for
help, to receive. And yet we can never fully know God if we
do not open ourselves to the blessing of being receptive — to
ask for what we need and trust that it will be provided.
Thank you for the ways that your generous support enables
us to provide for the needs of so many in our community.
Thank you to all of you who are ‘sponsoring” a family for
Thanksgiving. A gentle reminder: all items need to be at
Outreach ON Tuesday, November 18th OR Wednesday,
November 19th for packing.
In addition, we are still
recruiting some drivers to help with deliveries on Saturday,
November 22nd. Please see the notice, right, and call us if
you can help.
I invite you to come to celebrate next Sunday evening, at
7:00 p.m., our Interfaith Thanksgiving Prayer Service to be
held this year at B’nai Israel Temple (opposite OakdaleBohemia Middle School). Please bring non-perishable food
items to support local pantries, including ours.
May God continue to bless you for all the ways you
reflect God’s abundant mercy and goodness.
Please pray for:
All veterans, especially those who died giving
service to their country, and their families
families, doctors and nurses who care for them.

A NEW STEP IN OUR LITURGY
Here at Saint John’s we are going to be forming a “CELEBRATION BAND” which will lead
the music at our regular 5 PM Mass each Sunday evening. We are excited about this
prospect first, because we know that there are many parishioners who have various
talents in playing musical instruments, and secondly, because we believe that the
formation of such a musical group will deepen our parish prayer life and the celebration
of the Eucharist each Sunday evening.
We invite all those who play the guitar (rhythm or bass), the drums, the trumpet, or
other instruments to call our Music Director, Joe Graffeo at 631 589-0540, extension 230.
You may also speak to Joe after any of our weekend Masses. Please come and speak to
him or Fr. Joe and tell us of your interest. We would love to hear from you.
This new step in our liturgical celebration is not limited to any particular age group. We
welcome people of all ages to participate in this creative effort to enrich our celebration
of Sunday evening Mass.

FAMILY FAITH FORMATION
NO CLASSES ON TUESDAY,
NOVEMBER 11TH FOR VETERAN’S DAY
In the Gospel this week we truly hear a
story that shows us that Jesus was 100%
human as well as 100% divine. Jesus finds
in the temple area those who sold oxen,
sheep, and doves along with the moneychangers sitting there. He drove them out
of the temple area and told them to stop
making His Father’s house a marketplace.
Jesus told them to destroy this temple
and He will raise it up in three days. He
was speaking about His body being raised
from the dead.
1. Has there ever been a time that you
were so angry that you did something
you should not do? Did you ask God for
forgiveness?
2. What Church holiday is Jesus
referring to when he tells the people
He will raise up this temple in three
days?
This month we are
collecting
hats and gloves to
put in our
shoeboxes and to
give to Outreach.
Could you
contribute something
to Glovember??

Last Sunday was All Soul’s Day.
During Children’s Liturgy of the Word
some of our kids prayed together and wrote
down special intentions that
they wanted to pray for:
“My grandma, my grandpa, Aunt Stephanie
11:11, my mom, my first pet, my fish Goldy,
coco my bird, my Uncle Bob, my grandma’s
cat, my pet fish, my poppy because
he called me and my sister American Pie,
my dog Daisy, my dog Pumpkin,
my Aunt Ellen, my two cats, my Aunt Kathy,
my cat Marina, my cousin Brian, my rabbit.”
